The short answer

Built In : Tech employer brand if the company is past seed. From Sales-quoted
Dice : Tech resume database if you need search rather than a board. From Seat + PPC
LinkedIn Recruiter : The default graph if Wellfound supply is too thin. From Quote-based
We Work Remotely : Remote-only posts if location is the filter. From $299/post

Why people look past Wellfound

Weak outside early-stage tech, and the paid tiers are a different product from the free post.

What we noted

Weak outside early-stage tech
No API or MCP
Paid tiers are a separate product

Not the right fit for

Enterprise hourly hiring
Brand campaigns outside the startup world

Worth keeping in mind: A free job post on a board early-stage candidates actually browse.

LinkedIn Recruiter

Quote-based

Why it comes up: The default graph if Wellfound supply is too thin.

Sourcers who work the graph daily
