How LinkedIn relates to Elip
LinkedIn is a place you search yourself: you browse, filter and apply. Elip is a job agent instead: you talk to it for about ten minutes, it reads new job postings each night with you in mind, and it brings you the few worth your time. Many people use both: LinkedIn when they want to browse, Elip so the openings worth their time come to them.
