Indeed Recommendation
Indeed is the #1 place that people go to when looking for a new position. We found that when we did not have our sponsored ads running, the number of candidates for our open positions drastically decreased. In addition, we have found the Indeed candidates to be likely to be hired.
- Easy to Set-Up.
- Easy for candidate to apply.
- Process to sponsor and then stop when job is filled is seamless.
- Easier way to manage campaigns and budget within the site.

Customer Success is very helpful and professional!
Indeed made it easy to make changes to our accounts and adjust to new hiring practices. Customer service was direct, polite and effective. Time was not wasted, but a friendly experience was maintained. Overall experience was enjoyable and effective in resolving our issues. I highly recommend working with their customer success team at any time.
- Understanding and patient.
- Informed and inciteful.
- Friendly and engaging
- Linking email addresses that belong to the same account.
- Filtering resume searches
- Delivering data through out the process

I recommend Indeed Sponsored Jobs to any employer who wants to attract better candidates!
We use Sponsored Jobs to attract more candidates to our job postings. I use it daily when posting jobs on Indeed and find that sponsored jobs attract more candidates than non sponsored job posts do. Sponsored Jobs helps us alleviate some of the strain from having to constantly recruit and hire for new and previously existing positions.
- Attract candidates
- Ease of use
- Recruiter and job seeker friendly
- Adding new features too frequently

Not thrilled with Indeed Sponsored Jobs
We are a childcare staffing agency and use Indeed Sponsored Jobs to find candidates for our nanny and backup childcare positions. We hire throughout New England and are continuously looking for qualified candidates.
- Notifications of new candidates
- Help keep candidates organized
- Cost is too high for small companies
- Too restrictive with our multiple posts, we have several to cover all of MA/RI/NH

Indeed Sponsored Jobs Review
We have 50 properties across the US and several positions that are hard to fill. we utilize this service to help scope out those hard to fill positions. we also feature a lot of those properties that are hard to fill to gain better applicants
- teams calls
- better applicants
- featured positions
- scope of other areas and competitors
- business pages

It is WORTH it!
In my current position I use Indeed Sponsored Jobs to help with openings that are not receiving enough applicants through the free ad. By using the Indeed Sponsored Jobs it allows our company to reach more candidates and compete with other companies looking to fill those same positions. We use also use Indeed Sponsored Jobs for positions that we are looking to fill in areas that in the past have not received a lot of attention or in general are smaller areas with fewer candidates.
- It helps us find quality candidates.
- Helps us get more attention in a difficult market.
- Helps us compete with other companies looking to fill for the same position.
- We currently use greenhouse as our ATS. I do wish it was easier to sponsor the indeed jobs from our ATS.

Good Times Restaurants Inc. Review.
We utilize Indeed Sponsored Jobs for both our restaurant concepts, a QSR and full-service, to source candidates for both hourly and salary management positions for the individual locations as well as support center roles. The platform has provided us with the ability to integrate with our ATS, TalentReef, and manage different campaigns at a support center level versus our store managers needing to navigate that process themselves.
- Easy job templates and platform for creating posts.
- Easily manage campaigns all in one spot.
- Ability to review hiring insights for the area that we are recruiting in.
- The biggest area for improvement that I see is the automatic job collapsing for posts that are coming from the same company, same title but different locations. A lot of our locations are hiring hourly team members and are within 10-15 miles of each other. This issue significantly reduces the number of applicants that we see and makes our lives as recruiters more difficult when we need to try and manage 75 locations across both concepts that are potentially hiring for 2-3 positions at a time.

Small Sport Business Review of Indeed Sponsored Jobs
Indeed Sponsored Jobs is used for recruiting candidates at our company. We often don't receive as many applicants as we would like, and the sponsored job ads help with this issue. We use this tool to also invite applicants who maybe haven't applied yet. This allows us to create a larger pool of candidates to choose from in our hiring process.
- Selecting qualified candidates
- Manages candidates
- Easy messaging tool
- Having an option to directly email a candidate from Indeed instead of messaging
- More analytical data regarding our job postings
Indeed Sponsored Jobs helps me control and scale applicant flow with ease, allowing me to focus more on hard to fill markets and/or positions. Proper sponsorship campaigns, coupled with an employees engagement strategy, has allowed me to significantly reduce/all but eliminate our need to use staffing firms to supply temporary workers, as well as reduced the need for employee headhunting services to locate management level positions.
- Locate active job candidates.
- Increase applicant flow.
- Track applicant patterns through robust analytics.
- More foundational employee training - some Indeed workers are much more knowledgeable than others.

"Catchphrase"
We have multiple needs in 26 states, over 180+ locations, we need to ensure we have the flow needed to attract and hire the right candidate. Using the sponsored jobs feature has allowed us to be competitive in our markets, and thus far has been a very useful tool for us.
- Increases Times when YOUR jobs are visible
- Ensures that you will have solid views of your job
- Provides the resumes match feature when you are working fast, this is pretty quick to use and invites people to look at your opening.
- I'd like a refresh button to "re-post" the job and not have 5 steps to close it, and then re-open it.
- I wish the resume search feature was better set up for searching key terms, it at times doesn't show what we are searching for.
- With the number of people who consistently apply, I wish they would be flagged and easier to see the notes on what we had on the prior. Currently, we have to click on individual job posts to see what notes we have on them. That at times slows us down.
I'm the recruiter for GulfSouth Autism Center we have 5 clinics around the Louisiana area. Our business is one that we continue to hire on a daily basis, simply because we hire students out of college with a bachelor's in psychology, communication disorders, speech pathologist, education, social work, counseling, and sociology. I have about 200 to 250 students that are continually moving through. They usually work about one year with us until they finish their master's. Indeed Sponsored Jobs has helped me recruit when I need a few, when I need them ASAP and when I need thirty. Is nice to be able to post a job today and start getting responses sometimes the same day or the next day. I use this 24/7 to find the most qualified candidates. There are features that I don't use, like setting up appointments through the platform, I need results immediately, I call or text the candidates. My market is 20-25 age group.
- Immediate response, that's what I need. I post the job, there is no waiting one day or two hours to respond to the candidates.
- Gives me better visibility, better ability to choose different candidates, I've tried sponsored jobs with deal-breakers and non-deal-breakers. Sometimes is best not to have a deal-breaker for certain jobs because I might pass on a candidate I wouldn't have thought to maybe take a look at.
- I've also used the instant match, I'm starting to get better at qualifying those candidates and I had a few applicants from that.
- I would like to keep the candidates that I'm working on the same list, next to them I would like to write short notes. Like 2nd interview on March 28 at 9:00. or waiting for review. I know there is probably a place I can write that flipping from page to page but I would like to have it where I can see the candidates I'm working for until they're hired. Once they're hired I would be interested in keeping a list of them on the same page, where I can get an idea of how many I've hired that month.
- I currently do that in a spreadsheet with our 5 clinics, but it would be nice to have that on Indeed. All in the same place.

In the time I've used Indeed Sponsored Jobs and as I've changed companies, I have been able to increase candidate selection and reduce time to hire. Indeed Sponsored Jobs has changed the way I hire and has proved to be a winning strategy for delivering value every time. The customer service is excellent and they go out of their way to ensure you are taken care of. If you're looking to hire, don't miss this opportunity to use Indeed Sponsored Jobs. "You need Indeed. Indeed you do."
- Increase candidate flow
- Get specific candidates

- Reach the candidates you're looking for
- You receive an email with a link to the resume. Resumes should come to your email.
- Optional detailed billing to split costs on job performance.
- Include candidates regular email rather than an Indeed email which is added.
We use Indeed Sponsored Jobs to help us get the best quality candidates possible. This has helped us hire many applicants with the several job advertisements we post. The business problem the product addresses is getting instant matches to the relevant position to help make hiring a quick and easy process.
- Assessments - A better pool of candidates because it differentiates between candidates that don't fill out the assessments and candidates that do.
- Instant Match - We use this quite frequently and can invite matched candidates to apply for our job post.
- Screener Questions - Anyone who does not meet our deal-breaker questions will be rejected, which helps us if we have a lot of candidates to review.
- Job Status - Pause, Close, Open - It would be helpful to see a date on when it was paused or closed that way if we need to reopen we know how long it has been since we filled that position.

Good expereince!
Indeed Sponsored Jobs helped open our positions to a new audience. I began seeing new candidates and it was very easy to show my needs at a geographic level.

- Access to candidates.
- Expert ideas.
- Analytics and feedback.
- More functionality for same type of candidate for different location.

Sponsored Job Ads
I use it to post jobs in OR and WA states. We are growing and serving the community for mental health needs in those areas. We have a constant hiring need so it's an ongoing search for quality candidates.
- Allows formatting on job ads.
- Allows us to filter for certain education and licensure requirements.
- Has many users.
- More traction.
- Adding images.
- Prevent candidates from applying to multiple job ads at once. Uses up budgets quickly.
We use Indeed Sponsored ads to stand out from the competition and ensure our ad gets in front of more faces. In a very competitive job market, it can be difficult to gain traction with your hiring goals. This is another tool in our arsenal to find the right candidates.
- Allows us to vet candidates before paying for the application.
- Increases traffic to our positions.
- Matches qualifications to parameters we set.
- Applicants slow down after the initial bump.
- Provide detailed billing information without having to email to request it.

So incredibly useful!
Indeed Sponsored Jobs is one of the most useful tools my company uses in order to fill our pipelines! I use Indeed Sponsored Jobs at my current position in order to boost the applicant flow on our job posts. My company utilizes an ATS that then filters our ads out to Indeed. Through my Indeed representatives, I am then able to request sponsorship on each ad. Indeed Sponsored Jobs allows us to bring more attention to high-priority jobs, which then results in more candidates in our pipeline. Adding, removing, increasing, and decreasing sponsorship has been made into an efficient process so I may focus on other more pressing issues throughout my day. On average, we have about 15 jobs sponsored on Indeed at any given time.
- Communication with our reps is top notch.
- Keeps us informed of the results of our sponsorship.
- A platform to streamline the process in which to add, remove, increase, and decrease the sponsorship so a company can go in and adjust on their own instead of contacting their rep.

A must for job hunters and posters
I used Indeed Sponsored Jobs to attract more attention to the openings I have. It allows me to reach a wide audience and increase my application rate. I find sponsoring a job, rather than just organic reach, improves my outcomes.
- Working directly with staff, rather than bots.
- Staff checks in with me regularly.
- Easy to complete job ads/descriptions.
- Sponsored ads do not have the functionality to search resumes. I miss this function.
- The ability to drive individuals directly to my website.
- Weekly report emailed about interest in positions.

Fill the position quickly with quality employee
When I have numerous openings in a specific department or I need a manager position filled quickly ... I sponsor the job. Sponsoring the job greatly increases the visibility of my ad. More applicants see the ad, so I receive more resumes. I find that I can fill a position faster, with higher quality applicants when I sponsor a job.
- Ad has better visibility.
- Higher quality applicants.
- Hires in less time.
- Target more specific applicant fits.

Solid way to engage talent
We are a medium-sized business in a highly competitive labor market. We needed to get our job opportunities in front of potential employees throughout the Midwest, so we needed to do more than just allow our jobs to go out organically onto job boards - we needed to be proactive about where we advertise and what we advertise. Indeed Sponsored Jobs allows us to strategically share our openings with those who will have a real interest.
- Flexible Pricing.
- Candidate Matching.
- Job Post Visibility.
- Website sometimes difficult to navigate.
- Lots of functionality, not sure I'm using it all.

Indeed sponsored jobs is the way to go
Indeed Sponsored Jobs is our main source for bringing in talent. It's been helpful to be able to use their resume searches and invite options as well to find better-qualified candidates. Right now it is hard to find qualified candidates for nearly all types of positions.
- Easy to post position.
- Large database of candidates.
- Organized.
- Budget and applications coming in sometimes don't add up so it feels like you spend more for fewer applicants at times.
- Personal emails added to Indeed resumes.
- The option to add keyword tags to posts to help bring him more views.
Contributing candidates to the recruitment marketing funnel during an extremely tight job market.
- Dashboarding - overall display is clean and well organized.
- Transparency into cost per applicant and campaign is unique compared to our LinkedIn campaigns where I can only track conversions.
- Ideally, our reviews from Glassdoor would be integrated into the Indeed platform.
- Overall integration with Glassdoor around news, photos, reviews, etc.
