Indeed Hiring Platform

Niche skills like Blue yonder and such where you won't find talent, indeed will help you in such hiring and reaching 1000 of talent from posting. Posting has greater scope in indeed and can reach to many people in time. I have experience great talent pool coming from indeed posting and were unique and got the job right away.

Again, Indeed is the leader when it comes to hourly and salary staffing. From all the positions at our dealerships, Indeed helps us staff most of the positions we need to fulfill. Overall, they offer a great product and at a competitive rate. It is worth trying to see if it will work for your company.

I have used much better hiring platforms. I think that indeed is lacking in most of those functions. There are no interview questions. No pre-screens. You cannot upload documents through it. You are unable to text or email in Indeed. I just feel for the cost you're better off going elsewhere.

I liked the accessibility of the virtual interviewing rooms. We would have preferred to review candidate resumes ahead of time.

Indeed hiring platform did a great job training and providing information to the employees who would be using the platform.

I think it is well suited for all companies.

I don't know where it is less appropriate. The platform works well for hourly production/labor and skilled labor (like welders).

This platform is very useful if candidates are needing to be hired in a very quick manner. Being able to offer candidates an automatic interview, along with pre-screening questions offered can really expedite the hiring process. The platform may not be as useful if you are needing to conduct a very thorough interview. Knowing other candidates are waiting can make it very hard to spend too much time with a single candidate.

Indeed is well suited to smaller firms that are looking to fill key roles fast and need an instant pool of candidates. The filtering feature helps to weed out those who are not the best fit. Our HR team saved a lot of time using the platform to find a new office manager compared to word of mouth or Linkedin. The additional features offered don't seem very accommodating to bigger firms with an extensive interview process, especially if they are trying to track and make profiles of candidates. If you want something that fills immediate roles you can definitely find a suitable candidate within the large applicant pool the platform holds.

The virtual job fair was a bust. Very few candidates showed to mine, more to the Lowell one. Again, our rep, Andrew Becker is top-notch, very responsive, and is very prompt in his replies. The onsite ones work much better. We get almost a 50% turnout which is good these days.

I think all people should use Indeed and keep their resumes updated on the platform. The algorithms in the database really work well to match candidates the postings within our team for all the roles within our organization. We had an employee who was retiring, so we wanted to get in a new hire quickly. We sent out invites to 10 people and selected one of them for the position. It was quick and seamless.

Indeed Hiring Platform is well suited for travel nurses but doesn't meet expectations when we're looking to fill specific roles.

Indeed is well suited in helping our recruiters streamline the hiring process by allowing us to post for job-specific positions and also allows us to have knockout questions to eliminate candidates that do not qualify for our specific job postings. It would be nice to have the ability to see if a candidate applied to multiple job postings on our job board.

I think that this platform is versatile in the sense that it could be used to recruit for a number of different roles, however, I could see this being less effective for senior leadership to executive-level roles.

If your company does not have a predictable hiring schedule or a set # of positions a month or year, Indeed is great because there is no upfront cost commitment required. Post and pay whenever you have a need, with reasonable pricing. If you want to have a lot of applicants/candidates, Indeed works great. It seems that a lot of IT consultants use Indeed...seemingly more so than the legacy providers like Monster and DICE. If your company likes to use questionnaires to help filter candidates (like we do), Indeed's questionnaire tool is not all that flexible. It works overall, but it seems to be set up for simple qualification filtering. For example, there is a surprisingly small word/character limit when creating questions.

Given Indeed's popularity, we are able to pull in a lot of candidates for our hiring events. This is essential for high-volume recruiting. Scenarios, when Indeed had technical difficulties, tarnished the name for Nielsen as well.

Less appropriate for sales roles.

As a relatively small employer, Indeed Hiring Platform does a good job of getting our jobs out there for individuals to apply for. We essentially use Indeed to monitor candidates applying, and it is well-suited to getting the jobs published and out there. Their communication tools with candidates are set up well. If we were a larger employer with our own jobs page, I don't see Indeed as a great fit.

I strongly recommend indeed for recruitment companies where they have a good number of hiring. Indeed has a good platform to shortlist the resume accordingly.

The area that Indeed can reach. Sometimes there are even out of state qualified applicants. There is a constant flow of resumes coming in. Once boosted the ad has an even better turnout. We are always hiring. We need several positions filled currently.

The biggest drawback to Indeed Hiring Platform is that when hiring, IT IS a full-time job in and of itself. Otherwise, candidates who apply, if not rejected within a certain amount of time, still get billed. It's not easy to juggle a business AND hiring at the same time.

It worked very well when we were in a tough spot and had a lot of positions to fill in a short amount of time. I don't know if it would be worth the cost for smaller hiring needs.

Indeed is perfect for a low recruiting budget. It was the only platform we had had for a very long time, and it served us well. We are a very large company with Sites all over the US and Canada, with each of our 31 offices having their own Indeed accounts, so sometimes it is hard to get my new recruiters set up with an account, as they think it is fraudulent, and I often have to get on the phone with them to verify the user as our Corporate office is in PA., but we are largely remote, so we have people from around the country.

This was an easy and functional way for us to better screen candidates before officially inviting them to an onsite interview for the position. It let us get to know them as if there were in person, and it seemed to be easy to use for the candidates as well.

During deadlines of when candidates are needed for a position.
