The thing about running your own business is every single hire counts. And no hiring partner understands that. Like indeed.

Indeed is a matching and hiring platform where you can attract, interview and hire all in one place.

One of the things that I really love about Indeed is its powerful matching technology. In fact, Indeed's UK data shows over 85% of employers using Indeed find quality candidates who see these on Indeed match their job description.

The moment they post a job. Indeed knows that when you're growing your own business, you have to make every pound count. And that's why with Indeed, you only pay for applications from quality candidates who meet your must-have requirements.
