Likelihood to Recommend 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.

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 Read full review It has live video interviews in front of a jury, which allows us to ask the interviewee customizable questions that the program also throws them by default. It also has integrations with social networks to expand the search for ideal candidates for our vacancies, as well as integrations with software such as a greenhouse, Gmail, daxtra, and more, to improve its functions. It allows us to view the candidates' profiles in an organized way so that we can monitor their progress in the selection process. Luis Alcalá Senior Manager, HR Planning & Talent Management
Read full review Cons 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. Read full review The platform allows affiliation to events or job fairs, but its number of events is very minimal for what we need. Its learning curve may be a bit high, but it is worth getting to know the software in-depth, as it is very useful and provides us with great candidates. For the high learning curve, they need a little more support material, guides, and tutorials, for its correct use. Luis Alcalá Senior Manager, HR Planning & Talent Management
Read full review Usability 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.
Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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 other services.
Read full review Return on Investment 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. Read full review It is much easier to recruit personnel thanks to this software. It is a little uphill to learn, so at first, we had trouble adapting to it, but it has powerful tools such as cv search engines, which make the recruitment process is done in record time, greatly improving our performance.
