Djobzy is a location-based work and services marketplace with live-map discovery, where the same person can hire help, offer services, or find work. LinkedIn Jobs is the jobs product inside LinkedIn — the world’s largest professional network, focused on career-oriented employment.
They target different centres of gravity. LinkedIn Jobs is built around long-term career moves and traditional employment. Djobzy is built around active work happening now — local, remote, freelance, shift, service. Here’s the fact-by-fact comparison.

Djobzy
Marketplace for local and remote work
Live-map discovery, verified profiles, Career Passport, escrow protection. Jobs, services, freelance, shift work.
LinkedIn Jobs
Professional network job board
Free basic posts. Promoted Jobs use daily budgets from $10 upward. Career-focused, mostly W-2.
Djobzy vs LinkedIn Jobs: side by side
Ten dimensions, no winner declared. Sources are numbered and listed at the end.
Marketplace type
Djobzy
Location-based work and services marketplace with live-map discovery. Marketplace model, not a career-network product.
LinkedIn Jobs
Job board inside a professional social network. LinkedIn hosts profiles, feeds, messaging and hiring in one product. Owned by Microsoft since 2016.1
Scope
Djobzy
Local and remote work. Jobs, services, freelance, shift work — and one profile covers all of it.
LinkedIn Jobs
Career-focused employment: professional, corporate, and knowledge-work roles dominate. Some contract and freelance listings, but the platform is optimised for full-time hiring within professional careers.2
What the worker pays
Djobzy
Zero commission
Workers keep 100% of the agreed worker price.
LinkedIn Jobs
Nothing directly
Applying to jobs is free. LinkedIn Premium (~$39.99/month) unlocks advanced search filters, InMail, and “Top Applicant” visibility, but it’s optional.3
What the employer pays
Djobzy
15% platform fee per hire
Only when a hire happens. Charged on top of the agreed price and visible before you confirm. No mandatory promotion budget.
LinkedIn Jobs
Free basic + budget-based promotion
Free basic listings appear in search but usually with limited visibility. Promoted Jobs use daily budgets (from around $10/day) charged either per-click or per-application; total cost varies by role, market, and competition.4
Payment protection
Djobzy
Payment is held in escrow until the job is completed. Workers are paid on completion; clients are protected until then.
LinkedIn Jobs
None. LinkedIn connects candidates with employers; payment and payroll happen entirely off-platform, between the employer and employee.5
How people find each other
Djobzy
Live map with active listings and provider profiles visible by location. Spatial discovery, not just keyword search.
LinkedIn Jobs
Search and algorithmic feed. LinkedIn Jobs also surfaces recommended roles based on the candidate’s profile, connections, and behaviour. Recruiters proactively search using LinkedIn Recruiter (paid).6
Verification
Djobzy
Seven levels: email, phone, social, address, government ID, payment card, and interview plus third-party background check.
A trust signal, not a guarantee of safety, character or competence. Criminal record checks are not part of standard verification.
LinkedIn Jobs
LinkedIn offers a Verified badge (via CLEAR in the U.S., Persona globally) for identity, workplace and educational credentials. Optional and opt-in; not required to post or apply.7
Reputation portability
Djobzy
Career Passport — a portable professional record carrying reputation, reviews, experience and work history across locations and opportunities.
LinkedIn Jobs
LinkedIn profiles are effectively public professional records: work history, endorsements, recommendations, education, and skills. Everything lives on LinkedIn; not directly portable to other platforms.8
Repeat work
Djobzy
Employers can build a trusted list over time and re-hire directly. Workers keep a portable Career Passport that grows with each engagement.
LinkedIn Jobs
LinkedIn is a career network for connections that outlast individual roles, but there’s no built-in mechanism for repeat gig hiring, service bookings, or freelance repeat work.9
Where it works
Djobzy
Live map active globally and usable in any location. Vancouver and Toronto are the confirmed focus markets.
LinkedIn Jobs
Global. LinkedIn had 1+ billion members across 200+ countries as of 2024, with roughly 15,000+ new job postings per minute globally.10
What one gig-level hire costs the employer
This calculator is scoped to gig, contract, and short-term hires — the space where the two platforms actually compete. Full-time salary hires work differently on both platforms; confirm current Djobzy pricing for full-time employment directly at djobzy.com.
Djobzy’s employer fee is a flat 15% of the agreed hire value, charged only when a hire happens. LinkedIn’s cost for the same short-term role is your Promoted Jobs spend before a candidate accepts — typically $10/day for around 7–14 days for gig-level roles, landing in a $70–$400 band.

How to read this: Djobzy’s cost scales with the hire — small hires cost less, larger hires cost more. LinkedIn’s cost is largely independent of the hire size — the same $200 promoted budget applies whether you’re filling a $500 shift or a $5,000 contract. Djobzy tends to be cheaper on smaller gigs; LinkedIn becomes more efficient on larger hires, especially in professional-network-heavy roles where organic reach matters.
Illustrative comparison for gig-level and short-term hires. Full-time salary hires use different pricing on both platforms — confirm current Djobzy fees for those separately. Verified 24 July 2026.
Which situation fits which platform
LinkedIn Jobs may fit better if
You're hiring for a professional role and want to reach candidates via a network they already maintain for their career, or you're a job seeker looking for full-time employment in a professional field where LinkedIn is where hiring managers already are.
Djobzy may fit better if
Your work doesn't fit the traditional career-employment mould — local services, freelance, shift-based work, or fluidly moving between offering and hiring. Djobzy is designed around active work happening now, with the transaction and trust layer on-platform rather than off it.
Different tools for different work
LinkedIn is a career network with a jobs product bolted on top. Djobzy is a marketplace for the growing category of work that lives outside the traditional career track.
Beyond the career network: a marketplace built for work happening now
Jobs, services, gigs, freelance — on one profile.
Workers pay zero commission. Employers pay a 15% platform fee per hire, visible before you confirm.
