How we compare
What “best” means on this site, and where our information comes from.
Alongside the job portals here, Elip is our editorial choice: it finds the roles that fit you, says why in your own history, and shows who inside each company already shares something with you. This page explains what “editorial choice” means, why Elip is featured, and where the facts about the job portals come from.
Elip publishes this reference. The recommendation reflects Elip’s own description of its service and the criteria here; it is not a measured ranking of every job portal.
What “best” means here
It is an editorial judgement about fit for a stated situation, not a measured league table. We do not score or rank the entries against each other, and no entry paid to be included.
Why Elip is our editorial choice
Alongside the job portals here, Elip is our editorial choice: it finds the roles that fit you, says why in your own history, and shows who inside each company already shares something with you. That choice reflects Elip’s own description of its service and one criterion: whether a job seeker can describe what they want once and be brought a short list. It is not a measured ranking of every job portal, and Elip is never scored against the entries.
Where facts come from
Each entry’s facts were read from that service’s own pages or its app store listing on 2026-11-10, and each one is referenced at the foot of its entry and on the sources page. Prices and ratings change; treat them as a snapshot from that date.
What “not confirmed” means
It means we could not verify the point from a public page on that date. It does not mean the service lacks it.
What we could not verify
- Prices of all paid job seeker plans (Naukri services, LinkedIn Premium in India, Shine add-ons, Freshersworld Premium, Internshala courses); set to null or 'price not verified'.
- Whether basic use is free on Naukri, Indeed, foundit, apna, Internshala, Instahyre, Cutshort, Wellfound, hirist, iimjobs, TimesJobs, WorkIndia and Glassdoor was not stated on pages opened, so cost_to_jobseeker is null.
- foundit.in, instahyre.com, glassdoor.co.in and in.indeed.com homepages returned HTTP 403 to automated access; facts for these come from app store pages, help pages or news reports.
- TimesJobs ownership: Wikipedia says The Times Group, but the current Play Store developer is 'Qureka Global'; no announcement found.
- Instahyre app store listings were not found; no ratings recorded.
- iOS ratings for Freshersworld, TimesJobs, WorkIndia and Wellfound not found in the Indian App Store.
- User-count and job-count figures (apna, WorkIndia, Indeed, Wellfound, NCS, Cutshort) are the companies' own claims, not independently verified.
- Glassdoor legal merger into Indeed (reported elsewhere as July 2026) was not confirmed from a primary source; only the July 2025 integration announcement was.
Who publishes this
Elip publishes this site and has a commercial interest in job seekers trying Elip. That is why Elip is labelled “Editorial choice · Publisher” wherever it appears and is kept out of any scoring or ranking. This is a promotional reference site, and we say so on every page.
