In my experience, pay more for less

Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs) previously cost our company thousands of dollars a month. Now using the free job posting options offered on Indeed and by integrating our own Applicant Tracking System (Paylocity) we receive more qualified candidates, save time with automated processes throughout the candidate selection process, and are able to run analytics and track historical data with ease.

Previously our business logged in and used Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs) all on our own. However, after integrating our own Applicant Tracking System, at any point that we want to create a sponsored ad we must reach out to an Indeed representative to do so. It was significantly easier to preform this function ourselves.

I used our own Applicant Tracking system to incorporate the free version of Indeed Ads into our business rather the Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs). Ultimately, we decided to stick with the free version as incredibly we have received a higher quality of candidates and made very good hires. Using Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs) is a last resort.

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.
