A reference board for travellers between four major professional platforms. Each carrier serves a different route. All are widely used. Free seats are available on every carrier.
| Flight | Carrier | Route | Gate | Class | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PN 001 | NET → JOBS | A1 | Networking | On Time | |
| PN 002 | Indeed | HOME → JOBS | B3 | Job Search | Boarding |
| PN 003 | Glassdoor | QUEST → CO | C2 | Research | On Time |
| PN 004 | Wellfound | TECH → SU | D4 | Startup | Departing |
The largest professional networking platform in the world. Connections, profiles, recruiter access, content posting, company pages, and learning content all on one platform. Free tier covers most users. Premium tiers (~$30/mo and up) add InMail, who-viewed, and recruiter tools.
The largest job search aggregator in many markets. Pulls listings from employer sites and partners into one searchable index. Free for job seekers across the board. Employers pay for sponsored placement and applicant tracking features. Lighter on networking, heavier on volume of postings.
The leading destination for company research, salary insights, and employer reviews from current and former staff. Job listings are present too, but the standout draw is the user-contributed transparency layer. Free for users. Employers pay for branded profiles and analytics. Companion to a job hunt, more than a network in itself.
Formerly AngelList Talent. A focused platform for tech and startup roles, with salary and equity often listed upfront. Free for job seekers. Employers pay for posting and outreach. Smaller catchment than the giants above, but useful when the destination is specifically early-stage or growth-stage tech.
Each carrier serves a different professional purpose. Most travellers fly more than one: networking on LinkedIn, scanning postings on Indeed, researching the destination on Glassdoor, and looking at startups on Wellfound. All four offer free seats for job seekers in 2026.
Figures shown (user counts, pricing, ownership) are approximate and current as of early 2026. Platforms update features, prices, and ownership structures regularly. Always check each platform's current product pages before relying on a specific figure.
No single carrier covers every professional need. LinkedIn leans general networking. Indeed leans posting volume. Glassdoor leans research. Wellfound leans startup tech. Many travellers use a combination.
