How MatchPRO compares
Based on publicly available information: what each service says on its own pages. Where a service does not say, we write "not stated" — and we say where we do not lead.
The difference
What changes when the search is private
Most job platforms
- Pricing by 'contact sales' or per-seat quotation
- Public profiles can make a job search visible beyond its intended audience
- Explanations vary by product and plan
- Salary optional — or hidden until offer stage
MatchPRO
- Every price on this page — no contact-sales, no hidden fees
- Your data is used only to operate the match — never sold
- An explanation of every match, factor by factor
- Salary mandatory on every vacancy, enforced by the API

Honestly
Where we honestly do not lead
Transparency builds trust. Here is what MatchPRO is not — and why that is intentional.
Smaller reach than LinkedIn or Indeed
LinkedIn has 1 billion+ members; Indeed is the world's largest job site. MatchPRO is newer and growing. We focus on quality over volume: anonymity and consent-first mean fewer but more intentional connections.
Growing vacancy inventory
Our vacancy pool is smaller than the mass-market platforms and, for now, concentrated in a few markets. If you need thousands of listings today, the large platforms have more.
EU and privacy-first niche — not global mass-market
MatchPRO is not trying to be LinkedIn. Our moat is privacy, consent, explainability, and EU-compliance-native design. If your priority is maximum exposure regardless of privacy, there are larger platforms. If your priority is a private, fair, explainable job search — this is what we built.
