Overall Satisfaction with Indeed Resume

Recruiting as well as sales managers & general managers. These roles are often looking to fill spots for salespeople as well as sales managers. These are members apart of the sales teams and general management team, but there are officials in the company who work in accounting as well as the finance teams. The primary driver for using Indeed Resume is to find candidates that have the resume we're looking for, without them having to apply.

Pros

  • Applicant testing
  • Resume search
  • Recruiting automations

Cons

  • Automation limitations
  • Decreased time spent searching for applicants.
  • Increased return on investment for recruiting.
  • Decreased churn of new hires.
In truth, we have stuck with Indeed Resume and have not ventured off yet due to the power and simplicity that we have with this single tool. The various aspects of this one tool allow us to simplify our recruit stack so we don't need a variety of tools, thus decreasing the time spent hopping between platforms. We have ADP for some recruiting, but it's limited in its ability... which is why we have stuck with Indeed Resume for so long, even expanding our use of it across the company.

For anyone with a basic understanding of software, I am confident that you could understand the basic functionalities of this tool within a short time. For those looking to explore the automation and advanced features, some research/tutorials are recommended so you don't spend more time than necessary setting these up. I believe someone could figure it out on their own, but with such an expansive reservoir of resources, your time is better spent doing some basic research prior to setting up automation.
If you'd like to find a specific type of applicant for a recurring position, you can set up a search criterion that delivers new persons' resumes to your inbox at whatever interval you'd like. If you'd like to search for persons with relevant experience in their resumes, you can. If you'd like to search for persons who have worked at a specific company or in a specific role, you can. This tool allows you to filter down the candidates based on when their resume was updated, the last employer they worked for, and many more details. Ultimately, if you can conceive an ideal candidate on paper, theoretically, you could set up a search to find that candidate.

Using Indeed Resume

20 - The people who are using Indeed Resume in our organization serve several different functions. Mainly, these are sales managers and general managers who are recruiting for their respective locations. The main set of users that are utilizing this tool is the sales managers who are looking to recruit new sales talent. The secondary user group that utilizes this software is our recruiting team which looks to fill openings for the rest of the company (all departments).
3 - The users/people that are support users for this product are the recruiting manager and her team (2 people). There are a few power-users in the general manager's group, but mainly, most folks will defer to the recruiting team if there are questions/support issues. The folks on this team have the most experience with the tool as they are utilizing it every day, versus the general managers or sales managers who might use it a few times per month.
  • Searching for your ideal candidate for an open position
  • Establishing a turnkey system that automatically delivers candidates that fit your idea
  • Creating a manageable pipeline for your recruiting
  • We expanded our recruiting efforts laterally by implementing this across management divisions.
  • Establishing projects/campaigns for specific roles
  • Setting up saved searches for ideal candidates that notify managers when a new candidate matches that criteria
  • I anticipate we will expand the user group to allow for more users across divisions to self-recruit versus being reliant on just the recruiting team
  • With the automation that this tool allows, I anticipate we will establish more saved searches that notify key roles/managers of potential talent as resumes are updated - this will allow us to be first to recruit a potential candidate.
We have implemented this tool across several management divisions and locations as of today, so I don't anticipate us canceling our subscription. With the upcoming pricing changes, we are looking at ways that we can stricken the user of the software, but we have seen such benefits from it that we simply cannot go without it as of today.

When I was set up with the account I didn't quite know how to post, recruit, manage applicants, etc - Their tools and team were quite helpful. If you need to know how to filter resumes for specific applicant experience and or work history, they have tools to quickly learn how to do that. They also have helpful docs to quickly understand certain features and benefits so you can get back to doing what really matters and not spending all your time learning their software.
This tool allows you to do so much for such an affordable rate. If you want to scoop up your competition's talent, you can filter searches for resumes for people who have or currently work at their business. You can also you Bollinger searches for individuals who have experience with a specific type or word. And my favorite, you can set up search criteria that alert you of any new resumes with specific criteria so you are first to reach out.

Highly Recommend.
