Overall Satisfaction with Indeed Resume
We currently use Indeed Resume to identify talent for our organization. We are currently using it with a team of three in our sourcing department. It helps identify alternative sources of candidates.
- Identifies talent that appear no where else.
- Identifies talent that is available right now.
- Not to be so expensive.
- Go back like during the pandemic to utilize free sources of candidates.
- It did quite well when portions were free.
- Identified talent who is available now.
Our recruiters use the projects to put all the candidates in the correct folders and track their communication with them. Either via emails or through the UI in the system
Yes, it appears that this is newest best place to find candidates. It has quickly taken to be at least 25 if not 50% of our hiring pool
It does a pretty good job of keeping things organized
We use Indeed as part of our tools, but it is becoming increasingly more of that marketing budget
Do you think Indeed Resume delivers good value for the price?
Yes
Are you happy with Indeed Resume's feature set?
Yes
Did Indeed Resume live up to sales and marketing promises?
No
Did implementation of Indeed Resume go as expected?
Yes
Would you buy Indeed Resume again?
Yes
Based on our views, we can't use it to create shortlists. This is more of a one-off for hard-to-find purple squirrels.

Evaluating Indeed Resume and Competitors
- Price
- Product Usability
- Prior Experience with the Product
Even though pricy, the results we received from our time using the product at a cheaper price during the pandemic showed how well it performed. Unfortunately the price did go up and some of the uses went a way (getting credits back for positive interactions with candidates for example)
I can't think of a way. Wish they would have been more negotiable especially to a small minority owned business
Indeed Resume Implementation
- Implemented in-house
Change management was a minor issue with the implementation - None, just a different method to our recruiting process, adding elements etc
- Just where to place it in our priority process
Indeed Resume Training
- No Training
Yes, it was very intuitive. It depends on how technical you are, but does not require a lot of technical acumen.
If you have used any of the other Job Board UIs, it will be very transparent and easy to use

Using Indeed Resume
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
Like to use Relatively simple Easy to use Technical support not required Well integrated Consistent Quick to learn Convenient Feel confident using Familiar | None |
- Searching, either by job title, or taking my boolean string
- Narrowing down candidates with UI elements versus having to using even more complicated boolean strings
- Ability to chose certain background or years of experience or schooling very similar to UI functionality of the job boards.
- In certain job titles additional ui elements to narrow further would be helpful.
- MY GOD, can we get an ideal salary range for candidates
- Further diversity tools would be helpful
Yes, but I don't use it
