We currently use ZipRecruiter, LinkedIn Jobs, and the free job ad services on Indeed. We do this do to the expense of Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs) and the low return on investment. We have seen significant improvements by learning how the algorithm places job ads without cost …

Indeed Ads doesn’t recycle applicants like some other platforms I have used. With other platforms, I have to go back and check to see if we have interviewed the person previously. Indeed Ads usually gives me new applicants daily. It’s exactly what I need with a high turnover …

Indeed is by far the best performer in terms of candidate flow and quality of applicant & hire.

We used to use Appcast and now use JobCase, in addition to Indeed. I didn't see JobCase on the list. These resources don't really compete against Indeed as they are an aggregate that posts on sources other than Indeed. They work well with Indeed for more coverage. I do find …

Indeed is one of the best resources available. We have shifted budget dollars away from other sites to put them back into Indeed.

I've used Monster as it was linked to a product called Job Target, and I felt it was ok. It seemed larger and I didn't have the capability to input specific parameters for our jobs. It was more generalized and just didn't work as well for us.

There were features on CareerBuilder's platform that we utilized particularly for more administrative roles, however, their service and ease of use were poor. It would be nice if Indeed Sponsored Jobs offered more tools to study the roles being sponsored but their ease of use …

We have previously worked with ihiredental.com for sponsored ads. After paying to keep that ad open for 3 months we closed due to lack of quality candidates.

Indeed Sponsored Jobs has a better reach for the hourly positions that we are trying to fill, while the other platforms speak to a different clientele. There are some that I will not use again just because their platforms are too cumbersome to use, and they have not provided …

On Indeed, we receive far more qualified candidates for the positions we post. I also think that Indeed is more user-friendly than most of its competitors. ZipRecruiters' layout is cluttered and harder to connect with other employers. Indeed allows for us to access twice as …

We have used target ads in the past and while the product has been discontinued, it worked well in tandem with sponsorship to use as a multi-layer strategy if/as needed.

Due to a glitch, and how our firm is set up, we were forced to become a sponsor or we would not be allowed to post on Indeed. Our issue is that we post the "same" opening in a lot of cities across the US, we also close and repost a lot in the same cities, more due to need …

Using indeed for ongoing job needs is great as the job ad will be there for an extended period of time. The use of Indeed for a quick need-to-hire tomorrow situation has been tough. I have found that it may take a few days to gather good applications.

Pros
Indeed
  • Immediate response, that's what I need. I post the job, there is no waiting one day or two hours to respond to the candidates.
  • Gives me better visibility, better ability to choose different candidates, I've tried sponsored jobs with deal-breakers and non-deal-breakers. Sometimes is best not to have a deal-breaker for certain jobs because I might pass on a candidate I wouldn't have thought to maybe take a look at.
  • I've also used the instant match, I'm starting to get better at qualifying those candidates and I had a few applicants from that.

Cons
Indeed
  • The biggest area for improvement that I see is the automatic job collapsing for posts that are coming from the same company, same title but different locations. A lot of our locations are hiring hourly team members and are within 10-15 miles of each other. This issue significantly reduces the number of applicants that we see and makes our lives as recruiters more difficult when we need to try and manage 75 locations across both concepts that are potentially hiring for 2-3 positions at a time.

I use Indeed Sponsored Jobs pretty much on a daily basis. As a recruiter this would be the first thing, I renew to help me succeed in my role as a staff recruiter.

Usability
Indeed
They continue to improve their platform. Although sometimes adding more functions can decrease usability, Indeed is very good at adding definitions and information in a very user-friendly way. You are truly able to customize your service and job ads in a way that benefits you and your company. You also have complete control over your ad and your budget

Support Rating

Our Indeed support team far exceeds the support I've received from any other recruitment platform. We have a dedicated account executive AND a client support specialist, both of whom go out of their way to assist with everything from making our job ads more effective to make the billing process more transparent. They are a rock star team that truly takes the stress out of recruiting!

Alternatives Considered
Indeed
Handshake is mainly for the college-age group. We have listed some of our jobs on here before, but never had a good turnout of applicants. We tried ZipRecruiter, but it was easier to manage all of our jobs if they were listed on one site. We would also sometimes have people apply on both our ZipRecruiter listing and our Indeed listing.

Return on Investment
Indeed
  • Applicant quality varies depending on the position, sometimes we get really good ones and bad ones so it's positive and negative at times.
  • Positive impact with being cost effective. I don't feel we pay too much for what we need, but it's not "cheap" by any means either.
