Notes from the people building CareerAgent on job searching in India and how hiring systems really work.

• CareerAgent vs Simplify, Jobright, Teal, Huntr and others (2026)

  A dated, sourced comparison of job search tools for India and beyond: Naukri, LinkedIn, Instahyre, Cutshort, foundit, Indeed, Wellfound, Hirist, iimjobs, Simplify, Jobright, Teal, Huntr, hiring.cafe, Tsenta and auto-apply bots. What each does, what it costs in rupees, who presses Submit, and when another tool is the better pick.

• Fewer, better, first: why we don't auto-apply

  Hiring systems now spot, tag and throttle bulk applications. Why CareerAgent helps you send fewer, better applications early, and never submits one for you.

• How to tell if a job posting is still open

  A practical checklist for job seekers in India: check the employer's own career site, read the posting's age, and spot evergreen and consultancy reposts.
