Traditional job boards (LinkedIn, Indeed, Monster, ZipRecruiter, Glassdoor) make you do the work. Scroll, click, read, click apply, fill out the form, write the cover letter, submit. 15-30 minutes per application.
Sorce makes you swipe; the AI does the rest. 5 seconds per application.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, for networking (LinkedIn) and broad inventory (Indeed). But for applying, Sorce's swipe + AI agent is dramatically faster.
No. They serve a real role for browsing, networking, and recruiter inbound. They just shouldn't be your primary apply tool if you're applying at any volume.
Job boards make you scroll, click, fill forms, and submit per application, 15-30 minutes each. Sorce makes you swipe, and the AI agent does the rest, 5 seconds each.
Not for networking. LinkedIn remains the default for inbound recruiter contact. Sorce replaces the *applying* layer, not the networking layer.
