Considered Both Products
Indeed Hiring Platform
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
I really prefer to use Indeed compared to any other platforms because that's what folks are using
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
We found the most success using Indeed, with more applications for our job postings.
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
I chose Indeed Hiring Platform because it always delivers the quality of applicants for the jobs I need to fill. There is no guess work, and I know there is always a safety net with Indeed. I am able to source among 100's of applicants to fill the job i'm recruiting for.
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
Over the years we have used many different companies. From Career Building, to glass door to monster and google. All have been sucessful over time and then a new product and service comes and takes its place. Monster was the best company for a long period of time. Now Indeed is …
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
I honestly prefer Hireology over Indeed. It's extremely user friendly and makes the hiring process smooth.
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
I have not used other products similar to Indeed Hiring Platform.
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
I have been to and coordinated many hiring events and job fairs over the years; this is the most efficient funnel I've been able to find. Over the course of 3 events, we interviewed over 200 people and made 65 hires, exceeding our goal.
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
Indeed hiring provide a good experience for recruiting purpose. We can request candidates to apply while posting the jobs if they apply we can schedule the call directly and then screen the candidates also.
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
We didn't use any other hiring platforms. Had posted on field specific job boards, social media, and websites.
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
Indeed it is free so it is the best source for us. I have used Dice and Ladders on higher-level positions, but have always gone back to Indeed.
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
The hiring platform will naturally mean that more candidates will be interview who are not a fit, since we don't hand-select who we would like to interview with. But the platform allows for us to save the resume review time to interview candidates, making for a quicker process …
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
Brazen has a lot of bells and whistles that may not be the best suited for organizations that need a simple platform for advertising, hosting, and tracking events all in one. The lack of advertising included with Brazen is a huge drawback for a product that is already expensive.
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
Overall, LinkedIn has brought us more candidates. Indeed has its place in our portfolio based on level and function of the position.
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
Many similarities, one difference would be that we do have more applicant flow from Indeed due to our agreement with Indeed.
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
I use Indeed for my client's sponsored jobs.
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
Indeed, by virtue of the size of its resume database, is the Industry leader. There is no greater platform on the market, currently, that attracts as much talent and produces as many candidates. I have taken sales calls from many alternative hiring platforms and they are all …
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
I use both platforms, but we get better results with Indeed.
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
It has a huge pool of applicants to pull from with different levels of experience; starting from entry-level to exempt. Something we can use all around for our company.
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
We are currently implementing VidCruiter. Their ability to customize for our business is why we are implementing this product.
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
In the healthcare industry Indeed is the only successful platform to find qualified applicants. I worked for and with ZipRecruiter and healthcare applicants were few and far between.
Chose Indeed Hiring Platform
Indeed Hiring Platform is easier to navigate in general. In the meanwhile, a lot of people go to Indeed to look for jobs. It would be easier to catch more candidates. Also, being able to search emails is another great function so we can reach out to passive job seekers.
Paycom
Chose Paycom
I personally have used ADP before, but that was just as a user, not as a manager supporting other users. So really, my experience is primarily with Paycom.
Chose Paycom
I haven't used a whole lot, but I would say the only other one would be Blackbaud. Where I came from before, we used Blackbaud as our payroll provider, and Paycom is so much more user-friendly. Once we moved to Paycom, and then where I'm at now, we used ADP and also switched. …
Chose Paycom
The user-friendliness of Paycom really stands out. Employees seem to have an easier time logging in and getting to what they need, whereas I've heard ADP can be a little trickier and that some users have experienced login issues. With Paycom, everything is very straightforward. …
Chose Paycom
I'm not part of the evaluation team, but from an HR perspective, we've used UKG, and that was really the main system before Paycom. Prior to that, we used a system that doesn't even exist anymore. Paycom is much more intuitive and user-friendly, and the capabilities are on a …
Chose Paycom
I like Paycom more than ADP. ADP is a little more difficult to navigate, whereas Paycom has a more straightforward and intuitive navigation system.
Chose Paycom
Oracle has an HRIS. They have an HR, finance, IT, everything-in-one type of platform, and there's an HR functionality part of it. It's really good. I've used PeopleSoft, which is more of a database type and doesn't have as many functions as Paycom. We went through a very …
Chose Paycom
Nothing really compares. I've used StaffConnect before to check in, but they don't necessarily have an app, and it's only web-based. I haven't been able to find an app or anything. And again, it's just not my favorite because it also does it by GPS location. And I'll be at work …
Chose Paycom
We were initially Paycor customers for our recruiting, and we used ADP for payroll previously. Paycom was an all-inclusive solution. And I do know that ADP and Paycor now have solutions, but at the time, they didn’t have what we wanted for the flexibility, the price, and really …
Chose Paycom
PeopleSoft and Tyler are pretty similar, with similar built in workflows, and extensive reporting systems. UKG has a lot of things that we like, but is more expensive.
Chose Paycom
I have not currently used any other products. I'm still kind of new to the HR industry. The only other thing that I really have to compare it to is Vonmar's system, which they created themselves, and it was not user-friendly.
Chose Paycom
Payroll. Unfortunately, with ADP, we're in the 21st century, and they still make me upload a spreadsheet when we do payroll. So a lot of room for mistakes, a lot of back and forth. None of that happens with Paycom. And Paychex, when I used, they were just coming out to the …
Chose Paycom
More centralized data. UKG didn't have as many, I guess, areas, or like the W2, it wasn't all in UKG. It's just that everything is more centralized than UKG and Paycom.
Chose Paycom
I've used PeopleSoft, and golly, ADP certainly evaluated Paylocity. That seems to be sort of a common competitor with Paycom, although I'm thinking they're kind of losing the battle, and Paycom's winning. We've also looked at Bamboo HR. BambooHR is great, but I think a solution …
Chose Paycom
We were on UKG before we switched to Paycom. I've been on ADP. I worked with Workday a little bit. So yeah, worked with a few of them. Right now, Paycom is the best. It's the best.
Chose Paycom
I appreciate the single database platform. Some of the other programs I have used in the past are not as intuitive or user-friendly. The reporting is accurate and timely. There isn't any confusion between the modules trying to communicate with one another. We also have …
Chose Paycom
Paycom was definitely number one. It definitely had a few aspects that were more advanced and the data security was a big deal for us, and that was very helpful.
Chose Paycom
Paycom is definitely better than all of those options because it has everything, including performance reviews. A lot of those systems are very limited.
Chose Paycom
Way better. We had to use a bunch of different programs that didn’t speak to each other, where Paycom is a one-stop shop.
Chose Paycom
When evaluating competitors, one of the decision points has been how seamless the experience is from login to each of the different modules. Many legacy providers have the same modules, but they are not seamless. They are "connected" behind the scenes and skinned to appear to …
Chose Paycom
Paycom just seemed more established and more user-friendly, which is one of the main things I was looking for.
Chose Paycom
Paylocity is completely segmented modules. Paycom is one system.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
Indeed is perfect for a low recruiting budget. It was the only platform we had had for a very long time, and it served us well. We are a very large company with Sites all over the US and Canada, with each of our 31 offices having their own Indeed accounts, so sometimes it is hard to get my new recruiters set up with an account, as they think it is fraudulent, and I often have to get on the phone with them to verify the user as our Corporate office is in PA., but we are largely remote, so we have people from around the country.

As I mentioned, the onboarding process is incredibly easy. We have around 300 employees and are constantly hiring, so Paycom has been a huge help. In fact, the ATS functionality was a major factor in our decision to switch to Paycom.

Pros
  • The set-up of the event asks for important details to maximize the effectiveness of the event, but is also very simple.
  • The opportunity for you to create more personal connections with each candidate, while also providing a virtual hiring experience.
  • The actual hiring event platform that is utilized during the execution of the event is simple, user-friendly, and aesthetically pleasing.

  • Paycom does a particularly good job of updating and taking in information. We have a rep named Alex Cisco, who I hear from two or three times a month. He’ll just want to drop by and say, “Hey, how’s the product working? Is there anything I can do to help you with the product? And by the way, do you know about this new feature?” If I have feedback, I give it to Alex, and if he doesn’t know how to fix it that day, he’ll take it to research and development, and we may see an answer for it a month or two down the road.

Cons
  • Although we have a sponsored jobs agreement, so candidates are directed to our website to apply, I have heard recruiters say the old view to where you can see the candidates that applied through Indeed is helpful.
  • Disabling job posting permissions from certain users would be helpful. Only admin should be able to post jobs (that aren't free). It would help better manage our invoicing and billing with Indeed.

  • One thing that we did come across recently is we were restructuring our organization chart and we did find that in order to update someone's job title, for example, we had to go into two different places, not just the employees page. We had to go into a different function as well and it took up a lot of time.

Indeed is great because it seems like a lot of IT consultants and IT resources use it to find new opportunities. The platform is continuously innovating and the price can be reasonable if managed actively and properly when setting up the job posting. I don't give it a 10 because the method of promoting your posting and their cost per applicant value is NOT transparent at all. It is dynamic according to market conditions which we have to assume is in the favor of the company making money and NOT serving us as customers. But maybe we are being too cynical? We say this because their search feature to find our posting and our company information from the candidate's side is suprisingly not very good. Why does only exact match searches work vs returning posts or company information if the candidate does NOT have the exact matching words. That is not how most search tools/engines work. They return the most relevant first and everything else afterward, but Indeed does not seemingly do this from our experience. If we do not enter exact key word matching our job postings and company information is not returned from the candidate search perspective.

we are having no problems with how the system works and our support system at paycom is the best - we are learning more and using the system in more ways all the time the only thing that could be better is pricing on some things

Usability
Overall usability is very good, for our company it's been helpful for us to be able to navigate a large applicant pool. We've also found the prompts and icons to be very intuitive and aesthetic. Issues have mostly been on the applicant end and the interview option, while helpful, has also had some minor usability issues in the past.

Because it's very easy to use. It's web-based, and you can use it on your cell phone; you can do everything that you do on your laptop on your cell phone, which is unheard of. I haven't heard of other companies being able to do that.

The support team at indeed is very responsive and does a great job of helping you with any problems or questions you may have. They are also very helpful with setting up a budget for your postings to help in getting more applicants for skilled or hard-to-fill positions. We have used many job applicant platforms and indeed is by far the best to work with.

In 6 years, we've never had a bad experience with client support. We implemented during COVID, and I was the only person in HR at the time. I was also having to homeschool our children, which meant bizarre work hours and limited time to focus on platform build at times. There were nights that I was literally on calls at 11 pm and the implementation team was unbelievably supportive. Recently, a Position Seat specialist came on site to help us set up for our 5 client codes - the experience was transformative for how we use the platform and an absolute game changer. I trust Paycom because I trust our representatives. They truly are strategic partners for us, and work to ensure we're maximizing the platform and that our needs are being met

It was good, but hard to know what questions you need to ask until you actually get in there and start working with a live product. But Paycom is also very helpful every time I call and can't figure something out. Nathan has been very friendly and helpful no matter what I call him about. He is always eager to help out.

Integration was easy and painless. Really had no issues throughout the process, and Indeed did not offer us support options. Glad that the system is helpful since Indeed's customer service is not. I do wish they had better support options, even a phone number to call if we run into issues.

Not at all satisfied it was a nightmare we spent over 8 months with the implementation team having issues after issues all related to the Puerto Rico regulations (half my employees are in Puerto Rico) and at the end we were moved over from the implementation team to the production team without all the issues being resolved

Over the years we have used many different companies. From Career Building, to glass door to Monster and google. All have been sucessful over time and then a new product and service comes and takes its place. Monster was the best company for a long period of time. Now Indeed is the leader in this type of service

I haven't used a whole lot, but I would say the only other one would be Blackbaud. Where I came from before, we used Blackbaud as our payroll provider, and Paycom is so much more user-friendly. Once we moved to Paycom, and then where I'm at now, we used ADP and also switched. Both companies have been very pleased. Stacking up against those, I would say Paycom meets our needs as an employer for payroll and our benefits platform as well. Even switching our benefits over to Paycom was a big decision for us, and there were some bumps in the road, as there are with any change, but it's always met all of our needs, and we're very happy with it.

Return on Investment
  • My healthcare client had 55 RSVPs and 19 attendees which were well above their expectations for the event. I think this event significantly reduced the time to hire for those who attended the event.
  • My customer service client had to cancel their event, but for their next one, they are definitely hoping it will have a great ROI since they are able to hire a high volume for each role.
Read full review
  • I would say the impact has been positive. Everything I've needed to do for my job has been available within the system, and if there was ever something I couldn't figure out, I could reach out to customer service, and they would help me. Personally, I haven't had any issues with it.
