Totaljobs is one of the larger UK job boards, listing roles across many sectors with easy apply and job alerts. For finding UK vacancies, it's a solid, free choice.
What Totaljobs does well
- A large range of live UK vacancies
- Easy applications and job alerts
- A well-known UK job-search brand
What a job board doesn't do
- It lists jobs, but doesn't write or tailor your CV.
- It doesn't run mock interviews or predict likely questions.
- It doesn't support you through rejection and the waiting.

Frequently asked questions
Is this an alternative to Totaljobs?
No — it complements it. Totaljobs is where you find and apply to jobs; Career Agenting System helps you win them with CV, application and interview help. Both free.
How do I improve my Totaljobs applications?
Tailor each one to the advert rather than sending a generic CV. Scout decodes the advert so you can match what the employer wants — free.
Can it prepare me for the interview?
Yes — Ace predicts likely questions for the role and runs mock interviews so you can practise your answers.
