Overall Rating: 4.2 / 5 (Excellent)

LinkedIn's job search and application feature is one of many in the industry giant's portfolio of tools. It not meant to be used in isolation; instead, it's at its best when combined with a robust LinkedIn profile. The number of additional features the company provides on top of its job searching also makes for a great package. We recommend LinkedIn for consumers looking for something more than just a simple job search website.

LinkedIn Website Features

Ease of Navigation - 4.3 / 5

LinkedIn's job search engine isn't the most robust, but it does have nice filters and one-click applications for companies that opt for it. The company also offers professional services in the way of counseling, coaching, and resume writing. LinkedIn's most important feature though, is its networking capabilities. Think of the website as a social media platform, but focused on making connections with other professionals. LinkedIn's job search is built to work in tandem with your LinkedIn profile and the profiles of the companies whose openings you are applying to.
