Customer service is very timely.

Their platform is very user friendly

They give you the ability to adjust the budget on your job postings.

Some candidates phone numbers do not show up.

Job postings and reposting jobs could be streamlined to save time.

The annual price increased with the merge with GlassDoor but we have not noticed an increase in the number of applicants.

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.

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.
