Overall Satisfaction with Indeed Sponsored Jobs

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We post ads for hourly and salary restaurant staff and boost ads for more clicks to our text to apply/interview scheduler. Indeed and Craigslist have been the best options in this current hiring market. We typically have to spend at least $500 a month just to get our hiring ads strategically placed or refreshed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Placement.
Click to apply added feature.

Cons

Cost.
Not always having to refresh ads - would like an always hiring boosted ad.
Most people ghost on interviews, help us determine why.

Return on Investment

Positive- time to hire.
Negative- applicant quality.

Support Rating

I don't need support, I need less time to post ads or alert Indeed on if we've hired someone from that ad. I often don't know who a manager at one of our 10 locations has hired. I'm just a machine, posting and refreshing ads hoping to god that a few work out. Hahahaha.

Likelihood to Recommend

The restaurant industry is a hard place to find employees right now. We have a bit of an advantage because we are busy, pay well, and split tips. A problem I often see is people applying for management jobs with little to no exp or too many short stints at past employers. We are paying out more and more just to get 1 or 2 mediocre employees that may not last more than a few months, even though we have a strong culture and pay over $18/ hour to start. I feel bad for restaurants with shallower pockets.
