1 RatingRatingstars3
What can you use the application for?
LinkUp is a popular job website that makes it possible for you to find various types of different jobs in your local area. Unlike other job websites LinkUp specializes in helping people find jobs that aren’t advertised prominently. All of the jobs listed on the site are genuine job listings, which makes it much easier to land a great job. Not all companies advertise their jobs on job boards or in national papers, some just advertise on their own site. LinkUp will make it easy for you to find all of these jobs from one source. The jobs are updated instantly; when they are filled they are automatically removed from the site which makes it a much bigger source of current jobs than many of the other job boards which do not get updated regularly.
What is the history and popularity of the application?
Although there are plenty of other job sites on the internet, LinkUp tries to accomplish a unique job of finding you jobs which aren’t advertised in the places that you normally look in. This makes it an up and coming website which is quickly becoming very popular. LinkUp is ideal if you are trying to find jobs that aren’t listed in papers or on other job boards.
What are the differences to other applications?
Rather than just listing jobs that get added to the site, they also list jobs that are much harder to find from all over the internet. It’s also free for both employers and job seekers which make it unique. Finding jobs is just a matter of searching using keywords.
How does the application look and feel to use?
LinkUp has a very easy to use interface which is kept as simple as possible. When you first visit the site it looks very similar to a regular search engine. You can start searching for jobs by entering keywords and the area where you want to work. This will turn up a list of jobs that you might be interested in doing. The website uses tabs to organize all of your job searches which makes it very easy to stay organized. All jobs have detailed profiles and it’s possible to apply to the job right from the website as you are automatically taken to that company’s recruitment site in the tab. If you’re an employer, then adding your site to the records is very easy.
How does the registration process work?
You do not need to sign up to an account to use the site, and actually no accounts are available. When you click the links for jobs you may find that there are options to sign up and login, this is because they are actually that company’s own recruitment websites.
What does it cost to use the application?
It is completely free to use LinkUp; they make their money from advertising revenue. The top two results are sponsored listings and generate an income for them.
Who would you recommend the application to?
LinkUp is ideal for anyone who is looking for a job that isn’t necessarily on other conventional job boards or on the internet. It maximizes your chances of finding a job that few people know about, which should make it much easier to actually get selected to the interview and get your foot in the door. It’s also an ideal way to find jobs from smaller companies who do not advertise their positions prominently.
