Overall Satisfaction with Indeed.com

[Indeed.com] is used by our talent acquisition business unit to advertise Job Openings across the US and Globally (UK, India, APAC).

In 2019[,] 10% of our new hires [were] "from" Indeed.
  • The best free job advertising platform out there that is easy to use and integrates with our ATS Greenhouse
  • ATS (Greenhouse) automatically posts every job to Indeed and requires zero effort
  • Formatting of the the jobs from my ATS look good when "pulled" over to Indeed
  • Able to integrate questions with rules that allow you to shortlist candidates in a more timely fashion
  • Sponsoring portal has change a couple times. I do not love the new format as of 5/2021 but it is not bad.
  • They allow you to use a credit card for sponsoring which linkedin will not
  • Sponsoring criteria is good and has many options
  • Sponsoring the jobs through my ATS is possible but it is much more effective going directly to the indeed platform. It should be the same and same experience, but it is not
  • I had issues Linking our indeed page to the proper company page etc...
  • New job sponsoring platform can be confusing
  • Integration with ATS greenhouse
  • Ability to have easy and effective sponsoring with credit card pay as you go (on demand sponsoring) vs pay a large chunk up front etc
  • Ability to build out company branding on Indeed vs Linkedin and Glassdoor
  • As stated previously highest ROI of a job advertising platform hands down
  • Improve of integration with Greenhouse allowing better sponsorship "control"
  • Questions and filters you have enable streamline workflows
  • For the most part the Account Reps are really helpful
Job Advertising effectiveness (taking into account ROI on cost/hire) Indeed ranks #1 and has for years based on my data
LinkedIn is stronger for outbound sourcing/recruiting
The ability to add filters/questions to your posted roles is better than other sites by far

[Indeed.com] will by far get you the most applicants. Linkedin and other sites will say these applicants are "lower quality". I have studied the data for 2 years (2018,2019). Indeed accounted for about 10% of our hires and Linkedin accounted for 12% and Glassdoor about 5% of hires.

Simply said LinkedIn costs a lot, [Indeed.com] costs a little. I have now virtually cut out my LinkedIn advertising costs. I do not sponsor any jobs on LinkedIn because of the cost and lack of billing flexibility. I use about 10% of that old LinkedIn budget to sponsor jobs on Indeed and to pay for LinkedIn Recruiter as we get 40% of our hires from LinkedIn Recruiter. All in all, I have so far been able to deliver quality candidates on time and at a much lower budget so I look like a hero
