Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Currently, we use Indeed Resume to find qualified candidates. As I am the exclusive recruiter, I am currently the only one that uses the Indeed Resume to search for candidates. We typically use Indeed Resume as a backup when we are running out of other avenues of candidates, or if we are looking for a candidate with skills outside our normal search.

Pros and Cons

Qualified candidates.
Broad range of skills identified.
Easy to search with filters.

Page layout sometimes seems overwhelming, too much information.
Add school of graduation to search list.

Return on Investment

Candidate quality: positive.
Candidate responsiveness: positive.

Usability

Most of the resumes are current and there is sufficient information to reach out to a candidate that is highly qualified and fits our needs.

Recruiting Efficiency

I cannot say that it has impacted this aspect one way or the other. Our recruiting cycle is currently being impacted by a lack of candidates across the board.

Likelihood to Recommend

Indeed is a great resource, however, you can only get candidate information if you purchase a subscription. I would suggest a one-time use fee or some other sort of parameter as opposed to a monthly/annual subscription. Since we use Indeed on an as-needed basis, it isn't cost-effective for us to purchase a subscription.

Indeed Resume for the Pinch Hit!
