Considered Both Products
Indeed Resume
Chose Indeed Resume
Indeed is one of my top picks from these competitors because of the quality of candidates we find from Indeed. The resumes are more detailed, the response rate is higher, and there's a larger candidate pool for many positions we look for. I like that Indeed provides a resume …
Chose Indeed Resume
Because in terms of the profile we are looking for, the targeted population is more present on Indeed than on LinkedIn, also responsiveness is significantly better.
Linkedin Recruiter
Chose Linkedin Recruiter
LinkedIn Recruiter is better than Dice because it has passive and active candidates. Dice only has candidates that are posting their resumes so those candidates are being contacted by tons of recruiters at once. Dice has become worse and worse in terms of the quality of …

Indeed Resume has been well suited in areas where there is not a lot of traction or candidates to apply. It has been less appropriate in heavier areas where there are many more candidates available to apply on their own without the invite or having to search for their resume.

I can manage candidates from the search to moving them to projects to messaging in one place, which makes it a more streamlined and efficient process. If a candidate does not respond to an outreach message from my LinkedIn recruiter mailbox, I can then send a connection request and a message directing them, to the recruiter message.

Pros
Indeed
  • It uses boolean search functionality, which allows me to target specific candidates
  • I like that it shows me how long it's been since someone has been active on Indeed
  • The messaging functionality to reach out to candidates and have them respond back to you is very user-friendly

  • The scheduler is my most favorite part of Recruiter. Super easy and organized to use.
  • It also can integrate with my applicant tracking system when and if I hire from LinkedIn Recruiter.
  • The fact that you can see an applicants full profile gives more information than just a resume when selecting candidates to interview.

Cons
Indeed
  • I find it does not always recommend the best resumes to invite to the job we are recruiting for, based off the experience needed or job titles in the candidates resume
  • I don't like how invites don't roll over into a new month if you don't use all of them in a said period of time.

  • For some reason, whenever I click "View in Recruiter" it takes me to the project summary screen instead of that candidate's profile in Recruiter
  • It would be nice if candidates got automatically moved to the appropriate stage when an action is taken (ie "Contacted" after sending them a message)

We have implemented this tool across several management divisions and locations as of today, so I don't anticipate us canceling our subscription. With the upcoming pricing changes, we are looking at ways that we can stricken the user of the software, but we have seen such benefits from it that we simply cannot go without it as of today.

Usability
Indeed
Overall it is the best product for quick searching and sourcing, but it is costly and prices continue to increase each budget year. We will continue to use it as it gives us the best conversion rate for finding candidates and hiring them over any other job page out there right now.

This tool allows you to do so much for such an affordable rate. If you want to scoop up your competition's talent, you can filter searches for resumes for people who have or currently work at their business. You can also you Bollinger searches for individuals who have experience with a specific type or word. And my favorite, you can set up search criteria that alert you of any new resumes with specific criteria so you are first to reach out. Highly Recommend.

Alternatives Considered
Indeed
It was selected for me. I find it stacks up well just because Indeed is a commonly used resource for employers and job seekers. Its functionality leaves a lot to be desired, it does not have features that an ordinary word processor might. It is a useful tool if you advertise exclusively on Indeed, otherwise, it has its limitations.

LinkedIn Recruiter has the largest reach globally. I mean, if you're not on LinkedIn, do you even exist? ;) It is the only real game in town for one-stop-shopping for candidates. The service is premium, and so is the price. However, there is nothing that I'm aware of in the market that can compete.

Return on Investment
Indeed
  • It really hasn't helped me much because my facilities are in such rural settings and since you all do as the crow flies for the distance I get a lot of applicants that do not realize the facility they are applying for is more of an hour and 15-minute drive away from them.

  • Refined search for the appropriate candidates.
  • Emails sent are not sure to be delivered as there is no notifications.
  • Not worth the amount spent in getting the service.
  • Contact information unavailable to get in touch.
  • Limits in the daily use of InMail.
