Overall Satisfaction with Indeed Sponsored Jobs

In our industry, we have a constant turnover and are always hiring given the nature of the positions. I am on Indeed daily reviewing resumes and candidates that best fit our needs, it's easy to use and I have no complaints about the functionality of the system itself. Sometimes I struggle with "selling" our company culture and being attractive to applicants, so I'm hoping to improve that in due time.

Pros

  • Functionality and Ease of Use.
  • Email Notifications and Communication.
  • Categorizing candidates as active or rejected helps me know what's new and old too.

Cons

  • Actual email addresses would be ideal, I think sometimes they go to their spam folder.
  • Possibly adding pre-fill templates for the entire job post, not just skills or educational background.
  • Customizable layout for landing page.
  • Applicant quality varies depending on the position, sometimes we get really good ones and bad ones so it's positive and negative at times.
  • Positive impact with being cost effective. I don't feel we pay too much for what we need, but it's not "cheap" by any means either.
Anytime I need anything, they're right on it. I don't typically need to wait long for quality service.
As I mentioned earlier, everyone knows what Indeed is so that's a huge plus. I don't tend to get the number of candidates coming in with either of the others I've used in the past. Almost a waste of money if I'm being honest, I'd rather post 3 or 4 similar positions on Indeed and see what I get than pay for other sources.

Yes

Did implementation of Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs) go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs) again?

Yes

In my opinion, Indeed is the most well-known job site. Everyone knows what Indeed is, not everyone knows what Zip Recruiter or Glass Door are yet so you have that "monopoly" advantage. Take advantage of that in every way you can, for as long as you can. Candidates call me all the time and say they "Applied on Indeed" which gets me and the managers one step ahead with reviewing their resume and background to determine if they're a good fit. When a candidate has an updated resume on Indeed, it is a huge time saver for us to see where we proceed.
