Why look for a European alternative to LinkedIn?

LinkedIn belongs to a company headquartered in the United States. Under the 2018 CLOUD Act, US authorities can require companies under their jurisdiction to hand over data they control, even when it is stored on European servers. A provider headquartered in Europe with no US parent is not subject to that law: the contract and the data stay under the GDPR and European courts.

The 5 listed alternatives are from companies headquartered in the European Union.

What to check when choosing

For jobs and recruiting, look at the board’s audience in your country and sector, and at how CVs, which are personal data, are stored.
