Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.

The floor is 13 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“The premium destination for professional and white-collar talent (~27.7% market share)... primary paired destinations for general hiring.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Job advertising · comparative prompt · first choice
“If you need a specialized corporate hire: Use LinkedIn to search for and message candidates directly.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Job advertising · comparative prompt · first choice
“LinkedIn Jobs / Hiring Pro — best for occasional hiring and minimal upfront cost.” GPT-5.4 mini · Recruiting CRM · budget prompt · first choice
“Best for: Professional, salaried, white-collar, and executive roles” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Job advertising · comparative prompt · first choice

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“LinkedIn (1.2/5 rating) - Arbitrary account suspensions - Data privacy concerns” Kimi K2 · Job advertising · negative prompt · hard negative
“While major platforms like LinkedIn and Indeed are legitimate, they have massive scale, making them prime targets for scammers” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Job advertising · negative prompt · soft negative
“Some platforms are not inherently unsafe, but they are common places for scams and deserve extra caution: - LinkedIn” Perplexity Sonar · Job advertising · negative prompt · soft negative
“Scammers post fakes here impersonating real companies ... Stick to vetted alternatives: LinkedIn (networking strength)” Grok 4.1 Fast · Job advertising · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named LinkedIn Jobs. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 77 of the 79 answers that named LinkedIn Jobs and are not a share of its labels.

Search figures are US estimates from DataForSEO, read September 28, 2026; AI search demand is its modeled, directional estimate, not a count of queries to any assistant. The answers are this edition's. Two measurements side by side: neither is read as the cause of the other.

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when LinkedIn Jobs's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as LinkedIn Jobs, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for LinkedIn Jobs by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where LinkedIn Jobs is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
  • the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
  • its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
  • who was chosen in the answers that did not name LinkedIn Jobs, and every reason the record gives;
  • a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
  • one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
The subscriber app

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at linkedin.com is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
