Verdict. For salaried professional roles LinkedIn Jobs produces the most relevant applicants of any board; one free posting at a time and pay-per-click promotion keep it accessible to small employers.

Best for: professional and knowledge-worker roles.

LinkedIn Jobs matches postings to members' profiles and surfaces them in the feed, which produces better-qualified applicants for office and technical roles than general boards. Employers get one free post at a time; promoted posts are billed per click with a daily budget.

Easy Apply makes applying trivial, which is both the appeal and the problem: expect hundreds of lightly-screened applications for popular roles.

Pros and cons

Best applicant relevance for professional roles
Free single posting
Deep integration with LinkedIn Recruiter and most ATSs
Application volume from Easy Apply
Promotion costs in competitive roles
Weak for hourly and trade hiring
