Comparison
Orbit vs LinkedIn Job Tracker.
LinkedIn lets you save jobs and track applications, but it’s a basic feature inside a massive social network. Orbit is a dedicated job search CRM that tracks your entire pipeline, manages contacts, tailors resumes, and coaches your wellness.

The verdict
LinkedIn is essential for networking and discovering jobs, but its built-in tracker is basic — a simple save feature with no follow-ups, no resume tailoring, and no wellness support. Use LinkedIn to find jobs and Orbit to manage your search.
