Dealt vs
LinkedIn.

Find verified candidates instead of navigating spam and pay-to-play noise.

Context

LinkedIn dominates recruiting, but it's become increasingly noisy. Anyone can claim any skill. InMail gets buried. You pay to reach people. Dealt flips this: we start with verified candidates—people who've proven their work history and skills through real, checked references and employment verification. No spam. No claims without proof.

Dealt is built on verification. Real work history. Real references. Source-verified employment. That changes what shows up in your pipeline.

Why it matters

The difference is verification.

No skill inflation

LinkedIn skills are self-reported and unverified. On Dealt, candidates prove their skills through real work and peer verification. When someone claims they can lead a team, we've checked it.

Quiet signal

LinkedIn's algorithm pushes noise. Dealt is quiet. You see candidates who actually want to be found—and they've already proven themselves before you ever message.

No pay-to-play

Messaging someone on LinkedIn costs credits. Dealt is straightforward: one price, access to the verified pool. No hidden fees for visibility.

Real employment history

We verify work history through employment records (HMRC for UK candidates), references, and domain verification. Resumes can lie. Employment records don't.
