Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs)

Formerly Indeed Advertising

We currently use ZipRecruiter, LinkedIn Jobs, and the free job ad services on Indeed. We do this do to the expense of Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs) and the low return on investment. We have seen significant improvements by learning how the algorithm places job ads without cost and using our own applicant tracking system to automate the process.

Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs) excel in reaching to broad audience and cost-effective tool, it provides detailed analytics which includes metrics, views and clicks etc. Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs) operates on pay-per- click model which is very good option to control the recruitment budget. selected Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs) as you get the complete details of applicants which includes even their current package whereas LinkedIn don't have that option.

Indeed Ads doesn’t recycle applicants like some other platforms I have used. With other platforms, I have to go back and check to see if we have interviewed the person previously. Indeed Ads usually gives me new applicants daily. It’s exactly what I need with a high turnover position. It’s a waste of time to receive applicants that already work for my company or have interviewed previously.

Indeed's website is more user-friendly and more well-known

Indeed is by far the best performer in terms of candidate flow and quality of applicant & hire.

We used to use Appcast and now use JobCase, in addition to Indeed. I didn't see JobCase on the list. These resources don't really compete against Indeed as they are an aggregate that posts on sources other than Indeed. They work well with Indeed for more coverage. I do find that while I get fewer applicants from them, the price is much cheaper per applicant than Indeed.

N/A Haven't used other sponsored job sites.

Indeed is one of the best resources available. We have shifted budget dollars away from other sites to put them back into Indeed.

We need a big push to hire for several of our locations and Paylocity didn't have the reach and scope that Indeed Sponsored Jobs did.

None at this time.

ITAB campaign is a new product offering which as enabled up to get job seekers directly to our Home Page on Indeed.

I've used Monster as it was linked to a product called Job Target, and I felt it was ok. It seemed larger and I didn't have the capability to input specific parameters for our jobs. It was more generalized and just didn't work as well for us.

There were features on CareerBuilder's platform that we utilized particularly for more administrative roles, however, their service and ease of use were poor. It would be nice if Indeed Sponsored Jobs offered more tools to study the roles being sponsored but their ease of use and service is exceptional.

We are in the process now of evaluating and hopefully trying some new companies for our candidate sourcing.

We have previously worked with ihiredental.com for sponsored ads. After paying to keep that ad open for 3 months we closed due to lack of quality candidates.

Indeed Sponsored Jobs has a better reach for the hourly positions that we are trying to fill, while the other platforms speak to a different clientele. There are some that I will not use again just because their platforms are too cumbersome to use, and they have not provided quality candidates in the past.

On Indeed, we receive far more qualified candidates for the positions we post. I also think that Indeed is more user-friendly than most of its competitors. ZipRecruiters' layout is cluttered and harder to connect with other employers. Indeed allows for us to access twice as many candidates as we can on ZipRecruiter, therefore giving us a better chance of hiring.

We have used target ads in the past and while the product has been discontinued, it worked well in tandem with sponsorship to use as a multi-layer strategy if/as needed.

Due to a glitch, and how our firm is set up, we were forced to become a sponsor or we would not be allowed to post on Indeed. Our issue is that we post the "same" opening in a lot of cities across the US, we also close and repost a lot in the same cities, more due to need and turnover. Indeed felt we were spamming the market when in fact we were running our business accordingly. After a few high-level calls, becoming a sponsor was the best way to remain on Indeed. At times, the "free" postings would be fair well for some of our positions, but we do not have that option.

You can reach any level candidate with Indeed Sponsored Jobs, unlike LinkedIn Jobs we use for only Salaried positions.

Indeed is all that we have used besides LinkedIn

It was suggested by colleagues.

I have to cast a wide net to achieve our hiring initiatives each year, so I use multiple products. However, LinkedIn always comes in second place on my source reports.
