How LinkedIn relates to Elip
LinkedIn is a place you search yourself: you browse, filter and apply. Elip is a job agent instead: it finds the roles that fit you, says why in your own history, and shows who inside each company already shares something with you. Many people use both: LinkedIn when they want to browse, Elip when they want to start from what they share.
