What each one does differently

Wellfound

Free + paid seats Free tier

Why it comes up: Startup and tech job posting if you want to source yourself.

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

Dice

Seat + PPC API

Why it comes up: Tech job board plus resume database.

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.

Best for

Technology recruiting teams
Employers who still search a tech resume database
Teams hiring engineers and IT staff

LinkedIn Recruiter

Quote-based

Why it comes up: The default graph if a vetted network is not the motion.

Stands out: It is the graph every other sourcing tool enriches from.

Watch out: It is supply, not a system of record, so you still need an ATS.

Best for

Almost every in-house talent team
Agency desks running InMail projects
Sourcers who work the graph daily

Handshake

Quote-based Free tier

Why it comes up: Early-career supply if the role is junior.

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
