Chose Indeed.com
Selected Indeed.com because job seekers use it heavily since it is simple to post their profile and less information is required of them. Downside is less information is available to the employer/ recruiter so job seekers will get more relevant responses on other sites where …
Chose Indeed.com
Each one has its positives and negatives. If you are a job seeker the site to use would be Indeed.com because they list a lot of jobs. If you are an employer just use the job posting features instead of the resume search.
Chose Indeed.com
They are no different than any other company I have used.

ZipRecruiter costs more money but you do seem to get a better quality of resume. Although even with ZipRecruiter we didn't necessarily always fill the position with the resumes we received. Given the choice I would prefer free rather then paying if I am not going to get a …
Chose Indeed.com
ZipRecruiter is current. Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com were used in the past. As far as amount of applicant flow, Indeed.com is head and shoulders above the others. We get a lot of applicants that are not qualified at all, but that happens with any job board.
Chose Indeed.com
We use both in tandem. We get the applicants from Indeed, then screen and send them to myInterview
Chose Indeed.com
Indeed stacks up against these organizations because all 4 are available to find matching jobs near you. I have used all these webs and can sincerely say that Indeed is the BEST one because to does not sugar quote and does not make you doubt anything about the listed job. …
Chose Indeed.com
Indeed is good; yet Dice is a good alternative for our Technical, Engineer, Web, Cloud and IT Secruity positions!
Chose Indeed.com
I love it because it is a competitive program for management and recruiting. It has allowed us to study CV's, follow up and select people that we feel can fill the vacancy for our positions. It's great.
Chose Indeed.com
[Indeed.com] brings in far more candidates that are also more qualified for the positions we have available. Indeed is also the most affordable and user friendly.
Chose Indeed.com
Indeed.com is much more user friendly than any of the other job posting sites. It is very popular and I feel it reaches a larger forum of job seekers from varying backgrounds, experiences and stages in life. When you mention Indeed, people know what its purpose is and are very …
Chose Indeed.com
We used and are still currently using other job boards. Some are free of charge, some are paid services. We do not want to stop using Indeed.com since it provides up with ability to post job postings for free. This is really appreciated. We do not want to disclose names of …
Chose Indeed.com
Job Advertising effectiveness (taking into account ROI on cost/hire) Indeed ranks #1 and has for years based on my data
LinkedIn is stronger for outbound sourcing/recruiting
The ability to add filters/questions to your posted roles is better than other sites by far
Chose Indeed.com
Indeed has great reach and so many applicants are aware of Indeed to use as a job search engine. You will certainly get the most action on your job posting when you post it on Indeed. A job posted and promoted on Indeed will yield hundreds of applicants vs. other job posting …
Chose Indeed.com
Indeed.com seems to be more simplistic than some of the other mature job listing sites and we like this ease of use factor. When it's time to list a job we do not want HR dreading a complex setup that other sites seems to have. It should be almost as easy as sending an email …
Chose Indeed.com
Indeed.com is a great job posting tool, that has surpassed and met our expectations. One of my favorite features is that as soon as we have posted our jobs and responded to candidates, you get see more resumes matching or similar candidates. The number of responses would be …
Chose Indeed.com
LinkedIn is more of a professional networking site and what people see are based on their existing connections. Thus, I believe LinkedIn is better for tapping into job applicants that are similar to your experience level, education, and demographics. [Indeed.com] is a general …
Chose Indeed.com
Indeed.com has more free features.
Chose Indeed.com
Indeed.com is the largest job board and has a lot of job seekers. It is easy to create a job posting and the process is very straight forward and simple to make the listing. Indeed.com makes job hunting easy with geo location options and an easy to navigate interface. Users can …
Chose Indeed.com
LinkedIn and Zip recruiter. Zip recruiter provided me with a lot of candidates from out of state when remote was not an option for our organization, which caused me to waste a lot of time. Perhaps it was something I missed when posting the job. LinkedIn didn't result in …
Chose Indeed.com
ZipRecruiter I think is better at finding fit, but the volume of applicants is totally different and a lot of the time we end up going with people that use indeed just because more people are looking for jobs on it because that is where the most opportunities are.
Chose Indeed.com
I prefer [Indeed.com] over Facebook because I get to filter all resumes before contacting contact workers. It’s also easier to find clients as the job description tells me what the client is looking for over Facebook where we have to exchange messages back and forth to figure …
Chose Indeed.com
[Indeed.com's] reputation as the #1 job site makes it easy to hire new talent. You'll have access to the biggest job pool, and you can customize your job posting to hire the way you want, even if you don't use all of Indeed's features (many of which need improvement).

Well suited for searching the database for qualified resources, not well suited for those posting jobs. That is especially true if the job posted has a broader appeal, or applies to many job seekers, since it will attract hundreds that you will not have time to review. We have found that 1 in 20 are even qualified and have the basic requirements for what we post

Pros
Indeed
  • The best free job advertising platform out there that is easy to use and integrates with our ATS Greenhouse
  • ATS (Greenhouse) automatically posts every job to Indeed and requires zero effort
  • Formatting of the the jobs from my ATS look good when "pulled" over to Indeed
  • Able to integrate questions with rules that allow you to shortlist candidates in a more timely fashion
  • Sponsoring portal has change a couple times. I do not love the new format as of 5/2021 but it is not bad.
  • They allow you to use a credit card for sponsoring which linkedin will not
  • Sponsoring criteria is good and has many options

Cons
Indeed
  • Indeed.com tends to have a lot of fake listings or listings which overstate a role and that drives some users away from using the service.
  • Indeed.com's aesthetics are a bit dated so although the web sites functions are mature they also are a bit bland....if that matters to someone.
  • They seem to try and push the sponsor (cost to you) job lists a bit strong.

Usability
Indeed
The average person would be able to login into Indeed and use it almost immediately with no training or guidance. The layout is modern like an iPhone app and one can easily navigate through the features that it offers.

Indeed
I haven't had to use Customer Service much for Indeed.com but the few times I've had encounters they have been very nice and helpful. They ensure you are getting the most out of your money with the resources Indeed has to offer. You can speak to customer service over the phone or on a quick messenger setting on the website depending on what your style is or how easy you feel your question is.

Return on Investment
Indeed
  • Higher turnover in general for the positions we have hired for from Indeed which in some instances can hinder productivity. It is important to know that when using Indeed, you are getting volume/quantity and not necessarily top-performing employees.
  • It seems like the employees found on Indeed are constantly job hunting even when currently employed.
  • For our large-scale hiring, Indeed, all in all has had a positive impact as we are always able to fill the positions due to the large pool of resumes always on hand.
