"The Networker" — a single by the professional graph
Owner · Microsoft · Free + ~$30/moThe opening track on Side A and the longest-running act in the genre. Built around connections, profiles, content, and recruiting. The largest professional graph in the world. Free tier covers most listeners; Premium tiers add InMail, Who's Viewed, and recruiter tools from approximately thirty dollars per month upward.
Notable for crossover into content creation, company pages, and learning. Owned by Microsoft.
"The Aggregator" — massive catalogue, free for seekers
Owner · Recruit Holdings · Free for seekersThe largest job aggregator in many markets. Pulls listings from employer sites and partners into one searchable index. Lighter on networking, heavier on raw posting volume. Free for job seekers. Employers pay for sponsored placement and applicant tracking.
A practical companion track when the goal is simply "show me everything that's open".
"The Investigator" — salary data and employer reviews
Owner · Recruit Holdings · Free for seekersSide B opens with the company research track. The leading destination for employer reviews, salary insights, and interview reports contributed by current and former staff. Job listings exist too, but the standout is the user-contributed transparency layer.
Often played alongside Indeed or LinkedIn, rather than instead of them. Free for users. Employers pay for branded profiles and analytics access.
"The Specialist" — startup roles, salary & equity upfront
Owner · AngelList family · Free for seekersClosing track. Formerly AngelList Talent. A focused platform for tech and startup roles, with compensation often listed upfront. Smaller listener base than the giants on Side A, but the niche is sharp: early- and growth-stage tech employers.
Free for seekers. Employers pay for posting and outreach. A natural pick when the destination is specifically startup or tech.
