By gathering their jobs in this manner, LinkUp aims to guarentee jobseekers a place to search for jobs that is free to recruiters, talent agencies, and fraudulent listings.
The revenue model behind the site is a pay-per-click system where employers bid to be in the allocated “Premium Job” portion of the search results, much like Google’s AdWords program.
