Indeed Reviews

This is a free platform for a job seeker which is easy to handle it. There are more and more jobs available and easy to communicate.

It's much better than other job-seeking a platform and easy to get a job without any payment.

I like that Indeed is a platform that locates jobs in specific area for me. I also appreciate that the jobs are always similar to what I put in search field .

I dislike that there are not always a lot of reviews on certain job pages. Reviews from current or previous workers help me understand the job culture and what to expect.

The ease of posting adds and receiving responses in my email.

I didn't get as many responses with Indeed as I got with a different hiring tool.

I like that the jobs posted on indeed are screened for scams, etc.

I wish they offered more remote/work from home jobs.

Indeed has a vast database of job seekers, increasing the chance of finding the right candidate. Allows advanced search filters to narrow down candidates based on specific criteria. User friendly.

The large reach can result in an overwhelming number of applicants, many of which don't qualify.

The only pro is that the platform is well known, so there are a lot of users to choose from.

Indeed is one of the worst platforms, from both a hiring and recruiting perspective. Having been through both sides of the system, I can confidently say that it has been absolutely terrible in both roles. Firstly, the user interface is horrendous. Navigating through the site is confusing and time-consuming, with many essential features either challenging to find or non-functional. This poor design results in a frustrating experience for recruiters trying to manage job applications and job postings. On top of that, when posting a job listing, it was randomly taken down without any given reason. This experience occurred despite Indeed continuously targeting us with promotions and encouraging us to post job listings on their site. This inconsistency and lack of communication make it extremely unreliable for companies trying to attract talent.

Given these significant drawbacks, I strongly recommend staying away from Indeed. There are far more user-friendly and reliable job platforms available that provide better service and consistent support for both jobseekers & recruiters.

Indeed is user friendly and integrates well with our ATS.

Nothing, overall it's been a positive experience using Indeed

That you can have to direct message candidates about a job and you get a better outcome from candidates. you can also save candidates to projects with out messaging

The templates you have to a Crete a new message every-time you send a project

I love browsing and getting live updates.

I have experienced some Indeed ads that were not creditable.

Seems like one of the top job marketplace so it feels like you won't find more options elsewhere. Their UI is also pretty user friendly

Sometimes feels too saturated and yet cant really pin point on the search keywords well

Indeed streamlines applications from potential employees and lets you reach out to them via their many messaging options. The preset templates are a huge help in reaching out to a big number of people at the same time. The amount of people using indeed is also a huge positive for the program as it seems it is the only way to hire and get hired right now. Their assessments and customization of the hiring ad is also a very big plus, if the applicant decides to do them.

Indeed has many small underlying problems. One of the biggest is the ability for employees to rate employers. Often times this is misused by disgruntled employees and they will leave fraudulent negative reviews. Where this becomes a problem is that there is no resources to deal with fraudulent employer reviews and often times leads potential employees to shy away from applying or withdraw their application because of someone else's experience.
Another negative aspect of Indeed is the way Indeed lets you pay for these services. Often times leading you to overspend on a job posting, you can either set a spending limit or pay by the application. Problem is if you are not sponsoring your hiring ad, it will significantly inhibit your hiring ad from being seeing by potential employees.

That it is another option for applying for jobs and seeing different postings/ different pool.

It seemed to only offer a specific category of jobs rather than a broad category based off my experience.

Indeed is an online job board that gives me access to countless number of jobs per day. They even send me emails on daily basis to find new jobs in specified locations. I am overly impressed by indeed and would recommend it to anyone that is looking for breakthrough in their career.

Jobs that are not under easy apply are sometimes hard to apply.

In the bid to hiring the best-fit candidates for job vacancies, this software has shown it's prowess all along. It has helped us secure the strongest and most effective workforce that can drive growth and success. It is easy to integrate and implement too.

It is not easy to differentiate between fake and real accounts online which is a drawback. However, the features are great.

Fast to get job posting up and get results right away. It has been really hard to find good candidates the last couple years, so you have to get more resumes than you used to just to find the right person for the job.

It has been really hard to find good candidates the last couple years, so you have to get more resumes than you used to just to find the right person for the job. It isn't necessarily Indeeds fault but job posting have to require way more attention than they used to. It takes longer, costs more, and requires more time to get good candidates.

Indeed provides a vast database of job listings from various industries and locations, making it a one-stop destination for job seekers to find opportunities. Users can set up job alerts based on their criteria, such as job title, location, and salary range, to receive notifications about relevant job openings.

Indeed has faced issues with fraudulent job listings and scams. Some job postings may be misleading or fraudulent, potentially leading job seekers to apply for non-existent positions or fall victim to scams.

lots of great applicants. Even more when you pay for the ad.

too many unqualified applicants, lots of time spent going through people that don't have the experience required and don't even answer the questions.

Easy to track applicants and review their status

Sometimes candidate profile not updated according to resume

Indeed is very easy to use. I also liked that they have a lot of additional features, such as reviewing/assisting with resumes and assessments you can take on their site to illustrate your skills to employers.

Notifications don’t always come through. If you’re not checking the app regularly you could potentially miss an important message.

Very detailed in the area I am looking for

Many times the areas were not correct so didn't benefit me

I didn't really like the system or resume database for our roles. It would be better suited for skilled trades.

not enough professional or exec resumes and resumes were not updated. Making contact with candidates was not easy
