    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
    Indeed is far and above the best in its space! I have used others like ZipRecruiter and Monster, etc. but Indeed tends to be where we get the most applicants, we use that pool to do our interviews and then ultimately hire from our applicants from Indeed. The functionality is …

    Chose Indeed.com
    Indeed.com is better than most of the job sites that we have utilized, mainly due to candidate flow. However, LinkedIn Jobs continues to take first place due to its search capabilities. Indeed.com, it is more intuitive than Monster and CareerBuilder.

    Chose Indeed.com
    Other than Indeed, we have used ZipRecruiter and LinkedIn as our other options depending on the pressure we're feeling to fill a given role. Other options we have used have been Monster and Careerbuilder but weren't that happy with the results that we got on with those …

    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
    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
    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'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).

    We evaluated two more job boards. One of them was free of charge and it is much harder to manage meaning the layout of software is not easy. The other service that we used, we barely got applicants at all.

    Indeed
    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

    Monster
    Monster.com has a very vast database, and there is always the possibility of getting the profile for a particular region or for a specific skill set. It is easier to fetch the profile from mid to senior-level roles and use search all over the world, which means global search is less appropriate because it is costly for a third party or a small company.

    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.

    Monster
    • It would be nice if Monster could autofill resumes from applicants from information they provide once.
    • Applicants complain about having to fill in all of the fields for their applications - even though they have submitted their resumes.
    • As an applicant, it would be nice to have greater transparency and updates for when a submitted application is shared, opened, or reviewed. Otherwise there can be a sense of being "ghosted" after having applied and not hearing back.

    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.

    There are separate helplines for job seekers and employers. The response time is less compared to other customer support organizations that are out there. There are multiple offices in multiple locations so that it will improve the connectivity thereby helping the users in a better way possible. It provides a high standard of service and they also look into feedback seriously and work on it.

    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.

    • Since we are able to close positions using Monster the reliability and trust factor has gone up with the clients that we deliver to.
