Why people look past PowerToFly

Each posting is $499 a month, and it is not a volume-hiring channel.

What we noted

  • $499 a month per posting
  • No API or MCP
  • Not a volume channel

Not the right fit for

  • High-volume hourly hiring
  • Teams that only want a single cheap job post

Worth keeping in mind: A community with events, rather than a job post on a general board.

What each one does differently

Handshake

$450/mo Free tier

Why it comes up: Campus early-career if the programme is university-based.

Stands out: The campus network students already use, so the pipeline is there before you are.

Watch out: It is a supply channel, not a tracker, and it is weak for senior hiring.

Best for

  • University recruiting teams
  • Early-career programmes at large employers
  • Talent teams filling intern and graduate roles

Built In

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: Tech employer brand if the audience is software.

Stands out: Employer-brand pages for a tech audience rather than a bare job listing.

Watch out: No published price, and it is weak outside technology hiring.

Best for

  • Technology companies hiring in specific cities
  • Employer-brand teams in software
  • Talent teams that want a tech-specific audience

Wellfound

$135/seat/mo Free tier

Why it comes up: Startup jobs if the company is early-stage.

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.

Best for

  • Startups hiring technical people
  • Teams that still recruit early-stage on Wellfound
  • Companies on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby or Workable
