- Filtering by experience/qualities needed
- Providing a large pool of applicants
- Speeds up the hiring process
- Would be nice to have a feature where you can respond to applicants through email instead of through the platform
- For roles that need multiple interview sessions or a very large pool to choose from the features of this platform are not super accomodating
- Candidate quality is sometimes subpar, even after filters are used
Reduce Hiring Time by up to 50%.
- Simple user interface. It is well organized by open jobs and filters down to the best candidates.
- Access to Indeed's database of individuals who can be invited to apply to an open position.
- Effective communication system between employer and job candidates.
- Sometimes the resume formatting is different from the attached resumes.

This virtual hiring event platform is INDEED a must try!
I was personally responsible for the set-up of the events as well as managing the overall execution, and I can attest that from start to finish, this process was smooth and seamless. The feedback from my team as well as Hiring Manager who was conducting interviews was extremely positive.
- The set-up of the event asks for important details to maximize the effectiveness of the event, but is also very simple.
- The opportunity for you to create more personal connections with each candidate, while also providing a virtual hiring experience.
- The actual hiring event platform that is utilized during the execution of the event is simple, user-friendly, and aesthetically pleasing.
- There are times when multiple people would enter the same interviewing room at the same time, which would create an awkward experience for the candidate/hiring managers. Perhaps if there was a function that said "Hiring Manager 1 is already in this room, are you sure you would like to proceed in entering at this time?" would alleviate that issue.
Indeed Hiring Platform is a flexible and easy to use solution for small businesses like ours!
- Provides a large pool of applicants that mostly meets our needs.
- Easy to post new openings. The new posting "wizard" is simple and quick to use.
- Pricing is flexible and very reasonable. We don't want to commit to a # of positions or costs for a whole year as our needs can ebb and flow. We like the ability to post and pay as needed.
- The qualifying questionnaire that we can use to help screen candidates is not very flexible.
- The virtual assistant can add questions or provide filters to the application for the candidate that we don't actually want or need.
- Surprisingly, the candidate/applicant list view is not very flexible. It should be a simple, one-click step to get from a filtered list to an all candidate view, but it takes a couple of extra clicks...I think this is because of the virtual assistant being turned on. I can always get to what I need or want eventually, but it just seems like I have to make a few extra, unnecessary clicks to get the view I want.
- As of 01/01/2022, Indeed has changed their default pricing model to Pay by Applicant which uses an algorithm to determine the cost per applicant which can vary and it replaces the default campaign price cap. As we learned the hard way this can get expensive very quickly if you do not set an applicant maximum and you do not reject applicants you do not want or don't think are a fit for your posting.
- Strangely and unfortunately, your posted/live job is not by default easy to find and view/review to confirm on the live/candidate side of the platform. The search bar does NOT work like Google in returning the most relevant and then everything else.
- Your company also does not by default show up under the Find Jobs section if you do not have a live post (although searching by Company is an option in this search field) and if you do have a live post...again like Google it does not do a good job of returning all results...from our informal testing, it seems like you need an exact match not just on job name, but your location...even if you use Remote as the location. Even under the Company Reviews search (which does NOT seem to require a live job to return a result, the search engine lacks. Our company name is made up of 4 words. You cannot just search by the first word of our company name and see our company listed....we would have expected it to at least show up, even if it was at the bottom of the search. It takes the first two words of our company name entered into the Company review search to return our company name.
- The flip side to constant innovation is that Indeed's platform can/will introduce new features and options when posting a job that you may not fully understand or may not even fully work as expected when you are ready to post your next job listing. This can be a pain since you are ready to go and then you have to step back and learn/relearn some part of the solution which, at least, recently has impacted us in overall costs.

Indeed Hiring Platform-Review
- Makes it simple for candidates to sign up and be involved
- Markets the event well, we always have so many candidates sign up
- Simple enough platform design to navigate
- Candidates should HAVE to upload or complete a resume of some sort in order to enter the interview room
- Many times after an interview ends, the candidate stays in the interview room even if they've logged out
- I've experienced many tech issues with the video interview feature—both with audio and visual
Review from a Recruiters Prospective
- Live Updates of people entering the interview - it pops up really quick
- The spreadsheet with the list of applicants who came come very quick the next day
- Simple sign up for candidates
- Daily RSVP Spreadsheet that includes name, email, phone number, etc
- Connection to our ATS so that candidates can fill out an application as an RSVP
- Ability to cut off new people entering the event at a certain time but not fully ending interviews for all current interviews happening - allow them to finish but not allow new people to enter the room
- Communication within the event to other interviewers
- The option to require applicants to upload a resume when they enter the event
- The option to not allow the interviewers to put people back into the interview room
Indeed Hiring Platform: The Good and the Bad!
- Gathering the contact information of attendees prior to the event for recruiters to reach out whether or not they actually show up.
- Not specific to the platform itself, but it was very nice to have Indeed representatives prior to the event to walk our client through everything.
- Ensuring that the chat function within the platform works for any questions our clients had with the platform (this function was not working the day of their event when they were trying to contact someone).
- Making sure the platform can handle the number of registered attendees or let the client know prior to the event if too many are registered and will cause the platform to crash.
Impactful for volume recruiting
- Keeping the candidates in the virtual lobby.
- Allowing the recruiter/hiring managers to take notes that are kept on the platform.
- Make hiring decisions on the platform.
- Allowing the candidates to select video or a phone interview.
- We have had firewall issues for some of our managers. Recruiting has not had issues. We should have tested this a few weeks before using it.
- Being able to use a smart device and provide training on it would be helpful.
- Having our Implementation consultant be virtually available in the lobby. It would allow for easier access to them.
IHP for Large Hiring Events
- It keeps attendees well-organized.
- The video audio quality it typically very good.
- It allows you to call candidates directly from the platform.
- There are frequent technical issues when trying to place someone back in the lobby for a second interview.
- Not requiring a resume on file makes adding candidates to our ATS very difficult and time-consuming. Once we stop getting the RSVP list in advance, it will be even more difficult.
- Candidates seem to expect their interviews will start exactly at the time they sign up for. A better job could be done upfront in managing those expectations during a busy event.
Split Opinion, needs work
- Ability to sign up for time slots.
- Knock out questions.
- Not allowing people to come in after they signed up for a time slot (maybe a 7 minute grace period).
- Not allowing people to re-sign up.
- Requiring resumes.
Indeed Hiring Platform - Gets the Job Done
- Set up is relatively easy.
- Candidates are familiar with Indeed so they are comfortable using a well-known source for the event.
- Provides candidates a clear understanding of where they are in the process throughout the event.
- Items that can be logged post-interview regarding a candidate. Ex. if assessments were completed, which team member made the next step decision, what we need to follow up on, etc.
- Having a multi-step interview process. Our team completes a screen then sets candidates back into the waiting room for a secondary interview. This is confusing to candidates. I wish there were two waiting rooms so our team could better manage where candidates are in the process.
- We do not want the RSVP list to go away prior to the event. When there are connection issues, if we don't have the email and phone number of candidates, we are essentially losing a potential lead which would be frustrating.
- Amount of users is unlimited.
- Adding users is easy.
- The platform on the day of the event is pretty straight forward and easy to use.
- The intake form and process to get an event running is very cumbersome.
- The removal of the list of signups before the event is extremely inefficient for our organization.
- There tends to be technical issues on the day of the event, people can't get on camera, their sound doesn't work, they are added back into the waiting room but can't figure out how to get back into the event, etc.
- The quality of candidates we get through the hiring event tends to be low.
- We want more note-taking ability inside the tool as we wrap up interviews. We have follow-up items we need to note and have to do so outside of the system.
- Would be nice to have a chat function to chat with someone to say, we will be with you shortly. The announcement feature won't be noticed by candidates.
- We want the ability to have a wage screening question as part of the screener questions.
