Honest comparisons of job platforms and job-search approaches. Each one names at least one case where the other option is the better choice, because one that never concedes anything is just marketing.

National job portals such as MYFutureJobs have reach and legitimacy. Private platforms have speed and fit. Where each one genuinely wins.
