    what I noticed by using these two platforms is, job recruiting companies tend to focus more on LinkedIn nowadays. This is due to the cost of advertising on these platforms I think.
    however in my own personal experience, I used to get more interviews or at least a call from the employer when I apply through Topjobs (their website is less user friendly though).
    on the other hand, there are so many applicants for a single job posting on LinkedIn thus it's really hard to stand out from the competition.
    it's lot easier to apply for a job on LinkedIn as a result of their 'Easy Apply' button. Anyone can click the button and submit their pre-made cv to apply. that's it!
    what do you guys think of this?
    do you use any other job posting websites to find local vacancies? (specially to find IT vacancies)

    සිරා කතාවක් කියන්නෙ. මං Jobs 35 කට විතර apply කරා දැනට සති තුනකට කලින්. LinkedIn එකෙයි, Rooster.jobs එකෙයි, topjobs.lk එකෙයි තමා apply කරේ. අන්තිමට මට සෙට් වුනේ topjobs.lk එකේ දාලා තිබ්බ Software Engineering job එකක්. දැන් මං ඒක කරන්න පටන්ගත්තා. 🙂 I'm so happy rn!!

    I think because of the easiness of applying via Linkedin, people tend to apply even if they do not match the Job description. Some companies that I apply via LinkedIn, filter out the applicants and select you. So, if you have a good Resume and profile, then there is a good chance to get an interview call.

    On the other hand, I have directly applied via the company's website. From that also, There is a huge chance to get an interview call.

    Same with TopJobs and Rooster Jobs

    Bro it asked specifically for Full Stack developers with the knowledge on React and NodeJS / Express Frameworks which I happened to study. I'm still an Associate Software Engineer so I've associated to a Senior Software Engineer who assign me tasks and guide me. So I don't directly work with customers yet. 🙂

    Linkedin.

    I'm getting this type of messages very often. Never had to apply to any jobs.
    Also got messages from FAANG companies as well.
    Below one is from a fintech MNC.
