Indeed is effective for general hiring at scale. If you're a large dealership group posting dozens of roles across many trades, Indeed's reach is hard to beat. The pay-per-click model suits employers with HR teams who can screen high volumes of applications.
For independent garages hiring one or two mechanics, Indeed often delivers a flood of irrelevant applications. SpokenCV flips the model: instead of posting a job and waiting, you search a database of pre-screened mechanics filtered by the exact skills and qualifications you need. Every profile is built from a real AI interview, so the information is structured and consistent — not a self-written CV of variable quality.
Indeed charges per click on sponsored job posts. Costs vary but a typical mechanic job ad can cost £200–£500+ per month in clicks, with no guarantee of a hire. SpokenCV charges a flat £59/month for unlimited searching and a £499 one-time fee only when you make a confirmed hire.
