I have been in the Human Resources/Staffing and Recruitment industry for over 20+ years. I LOVE INDEED! I have loved Indeed from the very 1st time I used it as a recruiter and as a professional seeking a new/better opportunity for myself. I am actually in my dream job because Indeed has kept up with me all these years. Indeed really gets it! I recruit High Volume Sales Professionals for the biggest home/and business security company in the U.S. I love how easy it is to edit/tweak and refine my postings as well as my candidate searches. Indeed is ALWAYS improving and they really listen to the need(s) of the user. Indeed always has their ear to ground; with the latest and greatest in user-friendly technologies and systems. There is no doubt in my mind why Indeed is Number 1 in the industry and always will be. I have access to all the major job-boards and Indeed is my go-to EVERY TIME! There is never a day that goes by that I can't find the most qualified and best suited candidates! By far, Indeed is SUPERIOR to the rest! Way to go Indeed! Thank you for your continued support and growth and always staying ahead of the competition. "When in need....trust Indeed!" ~ Carolyn Galardo, Sr. Talent Acquisition Specialist
  • Up-to-date candidate selection.
  • Timely notifications.
  • Ease of use.
  • I liked the old "dashboard" better.
Indeed really knocked it out the park with their "one stop shop" approach to recruiting! I can post, source and interview candidates without ever having to switch between screens. And Indeed really makes my record keeping effortless! Thank you Indeed!

Previously recruiting new personnel was a task that used to take a large proportion of our time and we did not always find what we wanted, now thanks to Indeed we have been able to find the human talent that we require as an organization, study their resume in detail, conduct the respective job interviews and make hires quickly and effectively. It is a benefit to be able to count on this platform for recruiting the right people.
  • I love how easy it is to recruit new human talent for our organization's openings.
  • Indeed provides a user-friendly and navigable platform where we can easily post job requisitions and review applications.
  • It's amazing how easy it is for us as employers to search for the human talent we need and generate employment opportunities.
  • I consider that the prices for getting the services and posting job offers on this platform are a bit high.
Indeed has worked well in our organization, we have been able to generate employment opportunities and execute effective hires thanks to its recruitment and outreach tools, I would definitely recommend it.

We use [Indeed.com] for recruitment. I place ads on [Indeed.com] for our company and for our property managers. It gets our job postings more visibility for more candidates. It also allows for resumes to be sent directly to the property manager that is currently hiring.
  • Sends resumes to whomever will be reviewing them
  • Advertising
  • Requisition records
  • The number of steps to post a job
[Indeed.com] is a very helpful tool for recruitment. Just about every posting receives several candidates. Whenever the candidate pool is unqualified, it is easy to add more requirements or questions to knock those candidates out. There are several options to describe what kind of job you are advertising for. It is my favorite recruitment website.

Our Staffing Dept. uses indeed to post openings with in our area both temp and permanent. One Staffer from each department/office uses indeed.com. It allows us to reach a large range of job seekers.
  • Reaches a larger audience of job seekers
  • Very user friendly for both hiring agent and job seeker
  • Attracts a large variety of people
  • An option for more detailed searches
  • Forcing renewing resumes after 30-60 days or erasing them
  • Only showing for job seeker with specific trades
I used Indeed for many job openings I need to fill and 90% of the time it finds me the right employee. I feel sometimes I am filtering through resumes that aren't close to what I am looking for or in no way could fill the position and it can be frustrating, not sure how to keep those particulars from finding the ad placed.

We use Indeed.com to screen candidates and look for a diamond in the rough when it comes to new employees. Unemployment is low right now and finding a good match is becoming harder and harder so the potential to find someone on any job board is worth the risk of spending time there. It is just an HR used function at our company. Very frequently we will use it to send candidates an initial note as sort of s screening to see if they are real users or are actively interested in changing their role.
  • Indeed.com is well known; thus has a very large pool of candidates.
  • With the web site being around longer than most of the other competitors, we can count on most of the features being mature and usable.
  • Standard listings are free so it allows us to casually look for someone without any expenditure.
  • They have a great desktop/mobile job alerts function which gets our jobs out to more candidates.
  • Indeed.com tends to have a lot of fake listings or listings which overstate a role and that drives some users away from using the service.
  • Indeed.com's aesthetics are a bit dated so although the web sites functions are mature they also are a bit bland....if that matters to someone.
  • They seem to try and push the sponsor (cost to you) job lists a bit strong.
Indeed.com is well suite for a small to medium business that wants to manage their own hiring but is spread thin in the HR Department. It is much cheaper than hiring a head hunting firm and allows you to run your own hiring campaigns. Companies that either do not have an HR department or have extra resources in HR can probably do their campaigns in a more efficient way than Indeed.com.

Indeed.com is a worldwide employment related search engine for job listings that provides service including job search, job trends, resume upload, storage and search, industry trends, salary search, job competition index and website forums. At our organization, we use it to post only the job postings related to United States.
  • Set of resumes.
  • Texting to candidate.
  • Predefined templates and packages.
  • Phone screen tends to land in applicants spam folder.
  • UI needs improvement.
Indeed is great for jobs within the area. We have used it to assist our users in looking for potential jobs, used it for my own job search, compare job descriptions and salaries when creating posting at our company. Well suited for locations where it's adapted a lot. In some countries, it may not be as popular as other job boards.

Indeed.com is used to post job openings at the five high schools operated in the greater Tucson area. That is how I found out about and applied for the position I have now. It was a great resource. I was able to submit my application, look at the job description, etc.
  • Compare job postings
  • Submit application
  • Search for jobs
  • Submit resume as a PDF
  • Track job applications
  • Better search engines
Indeed.com is helpful both from the point of view of an employer searching for applicants for a job posting and for a job applicant searching for positions to apply for. I found my current position through Indeed.com, and the process was user-friendly. I was able to see what I had applied for, bookmark positions I was interested in, etc.

Indeed.com is the best place to put our job listings. It usually has the most job applicants for job postings. In the past we have hired candidates that come from Indeed because they have such a large user base.
  • Large amount of traffic.
  • Lots of job postings.
  • Simple layout and easy to navigate.
  • Great emails for job notifications.
  • Indeed.com isn't great for recruiting.
  • The cost to advertise jobs can get pricey.
  • There are some not so legit jobs posted that get in the way of real jobs.
Indeed.com is great for people looking for jobs. I have used it to find jobs and we have also used it to find people to hire. Indeed.com also has comparison job descriptions and salary estimates, but in smaller cities these usually are not available. When you are looking to hire an employee Indeed.com is the first place you should start.

[Indeed.com] is used by me to outsource work when workflow is to high for my team to complete in a timely manner. I also use indeed to find new jobs when workflow is slow or current jobs are completed faster than anticipated. Indeed is my go to trusted site to find work fast.
  • Ease of job searching
  • Easy to use on a mobile device
  • It’s free
  • Overwhelms candidates that have outdated resumes
  • Overwhelming to less tech savvy users
  • Job descriptions previews are small
[Indeed.com] is great for the modern tech savvy users with a updated resume and previous work descriptions. Where indeed is less appropriate is for someone who has an outdated resume or limited work history as it can become over whelming to some. Then the job description previews are small and hard to read with a very minimal description.

[Indeed.com] is being used by our HR dept to search for qualified talent. It is not used across the whole organization but it is used for all open positions across organization.
  • Job posting
  • Resume Search
  • Some features are not user friendly
[Indeed.com] is well suited for any organization with hiring needs. Sometimes the cost of sponsorship is a bit pricey.

As our business has begun expanding over the last year, it's been a great opportunity for us to consolidate our work applications. We can then easily communicate with applicants and schedule interviews. We really like the personalized questions we can ask for each new position.
  • Application management.
  • Location and Job Title specification.
  • On a user side, it would be nice to add more images into our job offers.
This software has worked great in expanding our client base. It's convenient to fill out and also works for referrals.

We use Indeed.com to post job listings for our Wendy's stores. It is great because we can add different users and contact info so that the store handles all the new hires without having to put a huge burden on HR. We as HR do create the job postings etc., but it is nice that the managers can screen/interview the employees for their stores accordingly.
  • Manager access
  • Different job postings
  • Easy to use software
  • For billing purposes, we have to allocate the labor for our finance team. It would be nice if they can give us a bill by store name instead of a whole total.
I think Indeed.com is great because we can turn job postings on/off with just a click of a button. It is easy to use for both HR & our hiring managers in the store. I think more people use Indeed in general so the candidate pool is bigger in my opinion.

Indeed.com is the primary job posting source for the company outside of our careers site. We use job postings only, and do not subscribe to a resume search license.
  • 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.
Indeed is a necessary evil. The job postings do drive higher applicant volume than I've seen compared to other job boards, and that part is free, which is fantastic. If you recruit/hire a high volume of hourly workers, it definitely gets the job done. Where it can improve is usability. Indeed makes sure you can't funnel applicants to your own careers site, and if you do, you will get significantly lower applicant volume. The platform is an addition to your ATS, not something that can be integrated well and it adds several steps to your current recruiting process. The indeedmail.com email addresses it makes you use to contact the candidate are commonly flagged as SPAM, so in order to reach the candidates, you cannot rely on your email being delivered to the candidate.

We use Indeed.com For our recruitment across multiple markets. We utilize this site as it is the most robust and most commonly used by the applicants in our field. It is being used in our entire organization. We also use it as a company profile for potential applicants to view.
  • Widely used by applicants in our field
  • User-friendly
  • Customer service
  • Pricing high to get jobs sponsored
  • Monthly budgets run out and jobs get taken off website
Indeed.com is well suited for posting jobs in multiple markets. It may be a little expensive if you don't have a high recruitment budget because a lot of companies utilize Indeed.com, so if you aren't sponsoring your jobs, your posting may be at the bottom. Applicants won't be able to see it as quickly as others.
