Likelihood to Recommend

Indeed is a great tool to source resumes on any kind of roles across the USA, however, it shines when we recruit on roles where candidates are not so easily available and helps us close very niche roles. As an example, we might be able to see 10-15 matching resumes for a particular role on Monster Search and Careerbuilder. However, if we look for the same types of candidates in the same location on Indeed, we easily get 40-50 qualified candidates.
