LinkedIn Jobs alternative
velai has no profile to polish and no badge that says you're a top applicant.
LinkedIn is good at people you already know. The job tab is a sidecar on a network that makes money when you linger. You post an update. You refresh the Open to Work photo. None of that tells you whether the req is still real.
Easy Apply is the part that hurts. You tap, it fires your profile into a pile, and the listing can be a recruiter's evergreen "let's see who's out there." You did something that felt like applying. They collected a lead.
velai doesn't have profiles, banners, or a score for how well you match a paragraph that hasn't been touched in a year. We show what's on the career page and mark the ones that look stale.
| velai | LinkedIn Jobs |
|---|
| listings come from | employers' own career pages | recruiter posts, company pages, leftover Easy Apply reqs |
| when a role closes | gone, usually within a day | stays until someone remembers to take it down |
| screening | posting check on every role | none you can inspect |
| match scores | facts only | "you're a top applicant" badges |
Stay for the network if you want it
If LinkedIn is how you hear about people, keep the account. Use velai when you want the jobs without the performance. Searching is free. The live listings are here.
Indeed is a different kind of leftover: paid ads that outlive the role. That write-up is separate.
