Should I use both Remotli and LinkedIn?

Often, yes. LinkedIn for breadth and networking, Remotli for the focused Swiss-remote subset. The same Swiss employer often posts to both. Remotli's value is the verification work that filters out the "remote = three days in office" listings LinkedIn shows unfiltered.

Are Remotli's listings a subset of LinkedIn's?

Mostly. Most Swiss employers post their roles to their own ATS (which Remotli scrapes) and to LinkedIn. The advantage of Remotli is the up-front check on which roles are actually remote-first and which are hybrid roles relabeled as "remote" to widen the candidate pool.

Why does LinkedIn show "remote jobs in Zurich" that aren't really remote?

LinkedIn does not enforce a definition of "remote." Many companies tag hybrid roles "remote" so their listing appears in more searches, then expect in-office attendance during the interview. There is no standard. Remotli verifies remote policy before listing.

Is LinkedIn cheaper for employers than Remotli?

No. LinkedIn promoted job posts run roughly CHF 500 to 2,500 per role for global reach. Remotli's Featured listing is CHF 149 flat, for a smaller but pre-filtered audience of Swiss-based remote-ready candidates. Per franc, the Remotli audience is denser for that specific niche.

Can I find Swiss companies on LinkedIn?

Yes. LinkedIn covers Swiss employers extensively. The challenge is filtering: searching "remote jobs Switzerland" returns thousands of results, most of which aren't actually remote-first. Remotli's entire scope is that filter.

What LinkedIn does well

LinkedIn is the global default for a reason. The network effect is real: most professionals have a profile, most recruiters live there, most companies post there first. For senior global executives, for industries where the platform itself is the working environment (sales, business development, recruiting), and for any role where contract type does not matter, LinkedIn wins on volume and reach.

It is also the right choice if you specifically want a non-Swiss contract. Plenty of candidates want to work for a Silicon Valley company on a US contract, paid in USD via Deel or similar. LinkedIn surfaces those roles. Remotli filters them out at the source.

Where Remotli is different

Remotli only lists remote-first or fully remote roles at Swiss employers, where most listings are paid in CHF on a Swiss employment contract. The two limitations are deliberate.

LinkedIn shows a search like “remote jobs Zurich” alongside roles where “remote” really means three days a week in the Zurich office, two from home. That is not remote-first. It is a hybrid arrangement labeled “remote” to widen the candidate pool. Verifying every Remotli listing’s actual remote policy before it goes live is the curation work.

LinkedIn also surfaces roles from US companies that say “remote” but mean “remote within the US.” A Swiss-based candidate cannot legally take most of those, and the time-zone overlap (Pacific or Eastern standups) makes the rest unworkable. Remotli filters these out: a non-Swiss employer needs an explicit region qualifier (CET, EMEA, Europe, Global) to land on the board.

The Swiss employment contract piece matters for AHV, Pillar 2, unemployment insurance, accident coverage, statutory notice and vacation. None of those survive a typical “Deel-style” cross-border contractor arrangement. On Remotli, most listings are Swiss employment contracts (a few are contractor or freelance setups, called out per listing). On LinkedIn, this is rarely surfaced as a filter.

When LinkedIn is still the right tool

Three cases where LinkedIn beats Remotli on its own merits:

You want a senior global role at a company headquartered outside Switzerland. Remotli’s Swiss-only filter excludes these by design.
You target an industry where the platform itself is the working environment: sales, business development, recruiting, founder networking. LinkedIn’s network effect is the value.
You do not need or want a Swiss employment contract and you would take USD-paid contractor work via Deel or similar. LinkedIn surfaces those roles. Remotli’s curation filters them out at the source.

For everything else (Swiss contract, CHF salary, verified remote-first), Remotli is the focused tool.
