Indeed is the world's largest job board, with a huge number of UK vacancies, easy apply, company reviews and salary information. For finding and applying to roles, it's excellent — and free.
What Indeed does well
- A huge volume of live UK vacancies
- Fast, easy applications and job alerts
- Company reviews and salary information
What a job board doesn't do
- It lists jobs, but it doesn't write or tailor your CV to a specific advert.
- It doesn't run mock interviews or predict the questions you'll be asked.
- It can't help with the emotional side — the rejections and the waiting.

Frequently asked questions
Is Career Agenting System an alternative to Indeed?
Not exactly — they do different jobs. Indeed is where you find and apply to vacancies; Career Agenting System helps you win them with a tailored CV, application help and interview practice. Use them together, both free.
How do I stand out when applying on Indeed?
Tailor your CV to each advert rather than sending the same one everywhere. Career Agenting System's Scout decodes the advert so you can mirror what the employer is really asking for — free.
Can it help me prepare for an interview I got through Indeed?
Yes — Ace predicts likely questions for the role and runs full mock interviews so you can practise your answers out loud. Free, no sign-up.
