Google for Jobs vs. Indeed:

Indeed is a popular and trusted job board that offers built-in screening tools and a resume database of over 245 million resumes. However, you must pay for your job posts to stay prominent on the site. If you can get the Google for Jobs structured data set up correctly, your job posts will appear in Google search results for free.

Google for Jobs vs. Find a job:

Find a job is an employment portal operated by the U.K. government. Like Google for Jobs, it is completely free for job seekers and employers. While Find a job is limited to the U.K., Google for Jobs indexes posts from all over the world. However, job seekers need to open the feature to search for international opportunities.

Google for Jobs vs. Reed.co.uk:

Unlike Google for Jobs, Reed.co.uk, one of the most popular job boards in the U.K., features a resume database and a range of resources for employers and job seekers. While Google for Jobs is free, Reed.co.uk only offers paid job posting packages, which start at £89.00 +VAT per post.
