Glassdoor
Chose Glassdoor.com
Again, based on the metrics we see in our applicant tracking system, it does not appear as though Glassdoor.com appeals to the admittedly narrow niche in which we operate. We hire highly skilled engineers and developers in the intel community with very high levels of security …
Chose Glassdoor.com
Glassdoor.com appears to operate a bit differently compared to some of the other recruiting platforms I regularly use. From my experience, it doesn’t seem to have the same level of engagement or reach among job seekers. Although it does generate a high volume of applicants, …
Chose Glassdoor.com
Compared to other services available, Glassdoor.com has always stood out because they provide an offering that is unique and continues to evolve and improve how the jobs marketplace can better serve organizations and applicants. While other job boards and services have come and …
Indeed Hiring Platform
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
I use Glassdoor on top of my weekly events for the month. Another platform to market on. I did see increases in one of my locations.
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
I chose Indeed Hiring Platform because it always delivers the quality of applicants for the jobs I need to fill. There is no guess work, and I know there is always a safety net with Indeed. I am able to source among 100's of applicants to fill the job i'm recruiting for.
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
Handshake is the best platform to target students or recent alumni.
Indeed should have some kind of school or alumni resume banks.
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
We use Indeed Hiring Platform for so many other marketing options that it makes it very nice to add on different products from the same company. Most of the sites/options have similar pages or layouts and tools that can do the same functions - recruiters do not have to learn …
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
I just believe Indeed.com has the largest resume database, is the most well known and, is by far the easiest to use.
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
Indeed is the best for finding entry-level candidates or candidates for jobs that don't require advanced degrees. The amount of candidates that use Indeed to look for these types of jobs is overwhelmingly amazing. Indeed is the most user-friendly platform for recruitment and …
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
Indeed Hiring Platform provides more applicants for the price point than all the competitors.

I would definitely recommend Glassdoor.com to colleagues who are looking to get insights into the inner workings of an organization by the people who know it best - its employees. The variation of reviews of employees at all levels within an organization. The benefit to this is that it delivers a well-rounded perspective that provides deeper understanding of a company and the ways that they are perceived externally and how they operate in actual terms of acting as a reliable establishment to work for or work with.

Again, Indeed is the leader when it comes to hourly and salary staffing. From all the positions at our dealerships, Indeed helps us staff most of the positions we need to fulfill. Overall, they offer a great product and at a competitive rate. It is worth trying to see if it will work for your company

Pros
Glassdoor
  • Glassdoor is great at providing candidates with information about our company they wouldn't find elsewhere.
  • Glassdoor's website is organized well and has an easy-to-use interface both for job seekers and posters.
  • Glassdoor has excellent crowdsourcing functionality when it comes to company ratings and salary information.

Indeed
  • The set-up of the event asks for important details to maximize the effectiveness of the event, but is also very simple.
  • The opportunity for you to create more personal connections with each candidate, while also providing a virtual hiring experience.
  • The actual hiring event platform that is utilized during the execution of the event is simple, user-friendly, and aesthetically pleasing.

Cons
Glassdoor
  • Glassdoor is an expensive product and price needs to be lower for employers.
  • They have to find a way to stop companies from rigging their ratings by asking their employees to post positive reviews.
  • Also, somehow they need to figure out if the negative review is an attempt to show their frustration by an employee rather than the true picture of the organization.

Indeed
  • Although we have a sponsored jobs agreement, so candidates are directed to our website to apply, I have heard recruiters say the old view to where you can see the candidates that applied through Indeed is helpful.
  • Disabling job posting permissions from certain users would be helpful. Only admin should be able to post jobs (that aren't free). It would help better manage our invoicing and billing with Indeed.

I see no reason at this time to change how we would continue to work with Glassdoor.com as a go-to resource for our hiring needs. As we look to hire in the future we will certainly return to Glassdoor.com as well as recommend Glassdoor.com to colleagues and anyone we know who is looking for a platform that they can look to for reliable employee resourcing.

Indeed is great because it seems like a lot of IT consultants and IT resources use it to find new opportunities. The platform is continuously innovating and the price can be reasonable if managed actively and properly when setting up the job posting. I don't give it a 10 because the method of promoting your posting and their cost per applicant value is NOT transparent at all. It is dynamic according to market conditions which we have to assume is in the favor of the company making money and NOT serving us as customers. But maybe we are being too cynical? We say this because their search feature to find our posting and our company information from the candidate's side is suprisingly not very good. Why does only exact match searches work vs returning posts or company information if the candidate does NOT have the exact matching words. That is not how most search tools/engines work. They return the most relevant first and everything else afterward, but Indeed does not seemingly do this from our experience. If we do not enter exact key word matching our job postings and company information is not returned from the candidate search perspective.

Usability
Glassdoor
It's improved but I still find it it a bit complex and challenging to navigate. There's a lot I can't see as an unpaid employer account but it generally takes me some time to get to what I can see whether that's trying to research my own company's feedback scores from past or current employees, the feedback other companies are receiving, or job postings

Indeed
Overall usability is very good, for our company it's been helpful for us to be able to navigate a large applicant pool. We've also found the prompts and icons to be very intuitive and aesthetic. Issues have mostly been on the applicant end and the interview option, while helpful, has also had some minor usability issues in the past.

Support Rating
Glassdoor
Support is generally excellent, but there can be a fair amount of bureaucracy at times for requests. The support people are very knowledgeable of the platform, but sales seem to regurgitate the same info when trying to negotiate or upsell a client. Technical issues are rare and usually solved quickly.

Indeed
When we first started with Indeed, we had a dedicated account rep that we could reach out to with questions. They would often try to upcharge, but at least we could get solutions for issues. Unfortunately now Indeed has removed those positions and the only way to contact Support is chat and email. Many times we don't get an answer to questions, and have no escalation point for issues.

Integration was easy and painless. Really had no issues throughout the process, and Indeed did not offer us support options. Glad that the system is helpful since Indeed's customer service is not. I do wish they had better support options, even a phone number to call if we run into issues.

Alternatives Considered
Glassdoor
Glassdoor.com appears to operate a bit differently compared to some of the other recruiting platforms I regularly use. From my experience, it doesn’t seem to have the same level of engagement or reach among job seekers. Although it does generate a high volume of applicants, I’ve noticed that many of those applications tend to be from the same individuals I’ve seen through other platforms or previous postings. As a result, it sometimes feels like I’m not getting access to a broader or new pool of talent through Glassdoor.com alone.

I think Indeed Hiring Platform heavily outweighs Zip and CareerBuilder in terms of quality of candidates and candidate reach. It is most similar to LinkedIn in terms of success with sourcing candidates. Still, as stated in the previous question, I believe LinkedIn is more qualified in terms of higher-level/higher-paid candidates.

Return on Investment
Glassdoor
  • It has been helpful to see the responses and if they are something to address.
  • People are more likely to post here vs give the feedback to us directly, so often things will be brought to us we didnt know about.

  • My healthcare client had 55 RSVPs and 19 attendees which were well above their expectations for the event. I think this event significantly reduced the time to hire for those who attended the event.
  • My customer service client had to cancel their event, but for their next one, they are definitely hoping it will have a great ROI since they are able to hire a high volume for each role.
