    Chose Indeed.com
    We use Indeed for the maximum amount of time for job postings since it does its job best. The sourcing of resumes using various filter processes is unique. We can communicate with candidate interns without revealing our originality.

    This is the best portal in terms of value for money and ease of use. All the above portals requires more time to get the resume but Indeed.com make the job much easier. This portals is specifically for the niche roles

    When compared to the dice portals, Indeed.com is more cost and work effective. Most of the candidate details were not available in the dice where as Indeed.com has the more detail about the candidates and give more insight.

    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 …

    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 …

    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
    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.

    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.

    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

    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 …

    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 …

    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 …

    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.

    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 …

    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 …

    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.

    Indeed does its job best in job postings, Sourcing resumes, and internal communication where our personal details can't be enclosed. Various filters help us source the particular resume.

    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.
