Where they pull apart
Dice
Stands out: Tech-only supply, so budget is not spent reaching the wrong candidates.
Watch out: No published price, and no use outside technical hiring.
Not the right fit for
- Non-technical hourly hiring
- Campus-only programmes
Wellfound
Stands out: A free job post on a board early-stage candidates actually browse.
Watch out: Weak outside early-stage tech, and the paid tiers are a different product from the free post.
Not the right fit for
- Enterprise hourly hiring
- Brand campaigns outside the startup world
