LinkUp Review 2020

When you first lay eyes upon LinkUp's website, you would think that this was just yet another run of the mill job search site. Dig a little deeper, however, and you will see that this Minnesota-based job search company offers a unique way of delivering quality job listings to its user base. Their simple, easy to use website and mobile apps are just the icing to the cake. What really makes this particular website stand out among the job search crowd is the fact that they pull, as well as update, the job listings directly from the employers' websites. This is a far cry from the usual method, which simply aggregates postings from numerous sources and, thus, raises the chances of inaccurate, outdated, or even fabricated career opportunities. The company states that their mission is to provide job seekers with the most efficient and most relevant job search experience there is and, in this LinkUp review, we will take a closer look at this one of a kind job site in order to see if their claim holds true. Check it out below, now!

Companies That Utilize LinkUp

LinkUp is a go-to recruiting solution for hundreds of blue-chip employers around the globe, so you can rest assured that the job listings you can find here are of top quality. Their clients include companies such as Amazon, AIG, Citigroup, Dell, Petco, Thomson Reuters, UPS, and many, many more. If you want to further your career, this is one of the best job search sites to start your search.

Ease of Use

Upon arriving on LinkUp’s website, you are greeted by a pretty barebones page with only the company name / logo, the job search bar, and navigational links present, which is a testament to the website’s dedication to its core function. You can immediately take advantage of the search bar and type in a job title, company, keywords, city, state, or zip code in order to start looking for potential career opportunities. Alternatively, you can also use the advance search option if you want more control over how your searches are carried out. This means that you can choose to search for specific keywords or even exact phrases in the job title or in the job description, as well as specify which words to exclude in the search parameters.

You can also specify a company, the location, when the listings were posted, or even specific job categories. Moreover, you can sort results by the most recent or the best match, as well as choose how many job listings to display per page. As far as browsing the job listings go, LinkUp does a pretty good job of delivering the information that you are looking for in a simple, uncluttered fashion. Upon clicking on a listing you will be immediately redirected to the company’s website in order to view the job description and apply. That said, it should be noted that because you are being constantly redirected towards employers’ websites, LinkUp does not use a streamlined one-click application process like what other websites are already doing. This is a minor complaint especially since method ensures less duplicate posts, expired job listings, or scams.

While the app is available for both Android and iOS devices (iPhone & iPad) only, devices that run on other ope systems can still browse LinkUp’s website on their mobile browsers due to the fact that the site is optimized for mobile.
