Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use Indeed Sponsored Jobs to recruit, manage, and hire employees on a daily basis.
Pros and Cons
  • Streamlines the hiring process.
  • Makes communication with prospective employees convenient.
  • Advertising our openings with ease.
  • Dashboard function when using mobile app.
  • Being able to go back and undo a step check mark if you accidentally clicked it.
Likelihood to Recommend
Since it is pay-per-click, you won’t waste money on applicants who aren’t interested in your job at all and scroll on by. The downside is if someone clicks in and clicks out quickly without reading much or applying, you are out that advertising money with no results. With sponsored postings, you get the ability to for Instant Match where Indeed will match you with candidates that fit what you are looking for. You will also get the ability to invite candidates to apply for your position, and reach more candidates through desktop, mobile, and Job Alert emails.

Very easy to navigate, and if you need help the account managers are always available to help! I like the overall feel of the dashboard, things are laid out in a uniform manner helping to keep candidates in order. I also very much enjoy the messaging feature so that you can speak to candidates easily without having to go thru email.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros and Cons
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
In our market Dental Hygienists are extremely hard to find. We started using Indeed Sponsored Jobs for our hygienist positions and immediately received great response from quality candidates. Before we started using Indeed Sponsored Jobs for our hygiene positions we were in a drought. After using this program, we are hiring on average 2 hygienists per week.
Return on Investment
  • The cost per hire has proven to be worth it due to the quality applicants that we have received while using Indeed Sponsored Jobs.

Dental Hygienists and Dental Assistants.
We had one experience that stands out to me the most. Through the Indeed Sponsored Jobs post we were able to find an amazing hygienist who now brings in as much revenue as some of our Dentists.

Key Differentiators
  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
Working for a larger DSO company our most important factor is pricing. We have to justify using it. Looking at our history and the new employees we have found through Indeed Sponsored Jobs we can justify spending the extra money to sponsor it because we are gaining a more qualified employee.

We have had great success and I would not change anything about our evaluation and selection process.

Exceptional Examples of Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs) Support
Last month we had two days where the Indeed site was not working on my end. Lauren and Holly both communicated fast to let me know if an issue was with Indeed in general not just on my end. They sent a link to help me access my sponsored ads so that I could continue working until the issue was resolved.
Usability

The cost is worth it! We get better quality candidates and more attention by using Indeed Sponsored Jobs.
Easy Tasks
  • It literally walks you through the process. Also, you are made aware of what price you are paying for the ad and what the average price per day is.
Difficult Tasks
  • I personally like to schedule my own phone calls/interviews so adding the option for Indeed to schedule them for you is cumbersome. I feel that there could be some steps taken out of the posting a new job process.
