Indeed.com vs. JobApt by Arca24

[Indeed.com] is a very helpful tool for recruitment. Just about every posting receives several candidates. Whenever the candidate pool is unqualified, it is easy to add more requirements or questions to knock those candidates out. There are several options to describe what kind of job you are advertising for. It is my favorite recruitment website.

• 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

• A lot of the same applicants apply over and over to the same job postings despite being rejected due to being unqualified for the position. This is particularly a problem when doing large-scale hires in one specific location.
• Indeed has poor filtering and search capabilities for employers. As an employer on Indeed you deal with huge QUANTITY of applicants - which can be great but when looking for specific skillsets, it can be difficult to find the right applicants in such a large pool. For executive level positions, Indeed is not my preferred job positing site.

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.

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 all their information is considered before they are reach out to by employers. Other job sites are more costly but yield a better outcome for both job seeker and employer/ recruiter.

• The largest positive impact Indeed.com has had is allowing our one person HR Department to have access to such a wide array of candidates.
• The ability to post job listings and not have a cost involved is an important reason we use Indeed.com.
• Even if we do not bring a candidate in for an interview, having our listings on the web helps to spread our name a bit and show that we are hiring.
