  • High applicant volume.
  • Provide actual email addresses for applicants. Currently, Indeed uses their own email addresses that have a high rate of emails sent to spam or junk boxes.
  • Allow integration to ATS without consequences. If you don't use Indeed Apply and the Indeed platform for candidate management you will get significantly fewer applicants
  • Get rid of Indeed resumes. The formatting is awful and candidates don't even realize it.

  • Has a very simple process for candidates to post their resume
  • Search database has many candidates who do not use other job boards
  • Offer free job postings
  • No way of searching applicants resumes to bring up the most qualified. I have suggested that employers should be able to apply a boolean search string to the hundreds that apply, so they can narrow down & follow up with those who have the required skills. Without this, it is not practical to go through the time-consuming effort to notify rejected candidates. That frustrates candidates who never hear back, and employers who cannot click on and review the excessive number of folks who apply. Bad for everyone.
  • They do a terrible job in screening vendors who misuse the site and post fake resumes, duplicated under many names and locations. I have been reporting them for years, but those profiles remain.
  • Applicant dashboard does not list even the most basic information like their current job title, city is hit or miss, years of experience, if they can work on W-2, if they are willing to relocate, or what type of work authorization/ visa they need to work under. With only supplying the name, it is not enough information to decide who is worth clicking on to review or pursue.
  • The database search function does not allow selecting those who are applying themselves vs. those who are posted by some third party vendor. This is very important to know when you are emailing them vs. someone else.
  • Indeed.com has the potential to be a world-class job board to employers and job seekers, but is not making improvements/ tweaks in the most vital areas, and instead offers new features that are far less critical.

  • Easy to use - Indeed scrapes postings from our ATS
  • Formatting of job posts does not translate well sometimes
  • Indeed.com doesn't have great search parameters to find candidates

  • Indeed is fantastic when hiring across state lines and for large-scale hiring.
  • Indeed has such broad reach due to how well known it is and ease of use for the employees who are applying for positions.
  • Indeed is free to post jobs, and we can promote the jobs for comparably a good deal to other job posting sites.
  • A lot of the same applicants apply over and over to the same job postings despite being rejected due to being unqualified for the position. This is particularly a problem when doing large-scale hires in one specific location.
  • Indeed has poor filtering and search capabilities for employers. As an employer on Indeed you deal with huge QUANTITY of applicants - which can be great but when looking for specific skillsets, it can be difficult to find the right applicants in such a large pool. For executive level positions, Indeed is not my preferred job positing site.

  • Indeed provides us with qualified candidates without having to do a lot of digging or wasting time.
  • The interface for setting up job postings is super easy to set up and use.
  • It's getting competitive in the job posting market and we are constantly getting pushed by other online job posting companies. I'd like to see more benefits of why we should work with Indeed over their competition.
  • I would like to see more updates to the platform on a more regular basis to stay ahead of the competition.

  • Solid candidate flow.
  • Great customer service - they always make us aware of new offerings as soon as they are available.
  • Allows you to be very specific with what you are looking for by a variety of employment screening questions you can fill out.
  • The job posting process has become very tedious with additional information that is required I fill out and it is not even posted on the job posting itself.
  • Indeed.com assumes a salary range, which is posted on the job unless you go in and delete the range. Not once has their assumed salary range been anywhere close to accurate.
  • There is sometimes a considerable lag time between an applicant applying and an email being sent to my inbox notifying me of the applicant.

  • Unique job posting capabilities to explore additional services to source and pre-screen applicants to job postings!
  • You can search the resume and read the entire resume before messaging the candidate!
  • Ability to source using the job descriptions are a unique technique!
  • More flexibility for employers to see more contact information from applicants, i.e. make sure they provide phone numbers and eMail addresses when responding to job postings!
  • Screen candidates better for ones that are posted by staff augmentation organizations!

  • Communication - Emails sent when candidates apply and message.
  • Ease of Posting - If you have a similar job posting from the past, you can easily use the same format which saves time.
  • Feedback - The options in regards to leaving feedback for candidates is great. There are 3 buttons-a check, question mark & X-to help you group candidates based on your initial thoughts. You can also add notes that only you and your team can see. I also like that it has the option for an auto-generated rejection message.
  • Curated Candidates - Although I think this was meant to help with candidate grouping, the recent update to add a "curated candidate" button is confusing. It often includes some of the same candidates in the regular list but it is confusing to toggle back and forth between the two.
  • Sales - The reps are constantly reaching out asking if we would like to purchase another one of their products. I understand why but it can be frustrating.
