Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review It is the best for visually appealing brands, basically, any hedonic goods to advertise. Best if you have a lot of visuals to represent your business and want to leverage your presence on given platforms. You can easily turn images into videos or have dynamic attributes for your remarketing campaign. As the pricing is not attractive for smaller clients, it is the best to be either a big brand to use the platform on your own or a big agency to use smartly.io features as your competitive advantage.
Read full review Pros 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.

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. Read full review Pricing is not attractive to smaller agencies. The base minimum was 1k per month, then 2.5k per month and it grew up to 5k per month. It means that agencies will have to choose service of competitors as Smartly.io is not affordable for everyone. It becomes a premium business.

As a recruiter this would be the first thing, I renew to help me succeed in my role as a staff recruiter.

Read full review 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!
Read full review If the problem involves some product bugs, customer support does not leave it be. They forward the problem to engineers so it would be solved. Once we caught a problem, they fixed it through the weekend. They always keep you in the loop with the current status of the issue. Once a new person jumps in to follow up, the reaction is They are all the time super polite and very friendly. Replies in under 5 minutes. Customer support can jump into your account and make quick fixes if you allow them to.

Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review Return on Investment 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.
