Overall Satisfaction with Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs)

Pros

  • ease of the algorithm
  • ease of job creation

Cons

  • pricing
  • ability to automate process
  • negative roi
  • pay by click or by applicant, either way it is too expensive.
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.

Do you think Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs) delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs)'s feature set?

No

Did Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs) live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs) go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs) again?

No

If an individual or business does not possess a human resource management, human resources information system, or other system that can be used as an applicant tracking system to control and automate the process, I would highly recommend getting one prior to using Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs) due to the increased ease caused by both systems working in conjunction with one another.

Evaluating Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs) and Competitors

  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
We looked for a way to contact the most candidates while being able to easily filter and track applications and candidate status. This system easily provided those features but ultimately we decided to pursue more economical avenues.
We would consider the financial impact at the height of recruiting needs. Additionally we would factor in the financial impact long term, month after month, year after year, as we found that in one year alone we spent more than an average full time salary on sponsored ads.
