Why it comes up: The best known US tech job board, with a resume database alongside job slots from $399, and candidates who are actively looking.
Stands out: Tech-only supply, so budget is not spent reaching the wrong candidates.
Watch out: Subscriptions start at $549 a month billed annually, and it is no use outside technical hiring.
Best for
- Technology recruiting teams
- Employers who still search a tech resume database
- Teams hiring engineers and IT staff

$494/mo 7 day free trial API
Why it comes up: AI sourcing across the open web with contact enrichment from $494/mo, if you want profiles beyond one firm's database.
Stands out: Open-web sourcing plus sequences and contact data in one outbound product.
Watch out: No MCP, and $494/mo is a real floor, so this is not an SMB finder.
Best for
- Outbound talent teams sourcing beyond LinkedIn
- Desks that want sequences with the sourcer
- Buyers who will start on a seven-day trial

Why it comes up: Niche database of security-cleared candidates, priced on quote, for defense and government IT roles.
Stands out: Every candidate must be a US citizen with an active or current clearance, and the site reports over 2 million registered and 519,313 searchable profiles. IntelliSearch matches candidates to a pasted job description, and Workflow automates outreach when passive candidates become active. ClearanceJobs now owns AgileATS, a GovCon ATS with one-click candidate transfer and OFCCP and EEO reporting.
Watch out: No prices are published, so you need a sales call to budget. Resume database access is limited to US-based companies with US-citizen users located in the US. The audience only makes sense if the role needs a clearance.
Best for
- Defense and intelligence contractors
- Federal agencies hiring cleared staff
- Cleared staffing and RPO firms

Why it comes up: General resume database across all industries from $600 for three months, if you also hire outside IT.
Stands out: Search is unlimited-user: the 3-month search includes 300 contact unlocks and unlimited resume views. The talent pool is marketed as 220 million-plus US profiles with AI Smart Match.
Watch out: $600 is labeled a new-customer offer. Other packages are quoted after a demo. Unlock credits, not seats, gate full contact details.
Best for
- US staffing firms that want resume search without per-seat pricing
- SMBs filling roles across sectors from one database
- Teams that prefer pay-for-performance job posts alongside search
