I was having a lot of issues with Indeed originally, I couldn't get them to respond after taking down a very critical hiring ad we had up. It seems like an algorithm just flagged our account and took it down. But after talking with the Indeed support team on here, they got my ads back up (just in time) and even gave me a free sponsor on our most important one. Thank you Indeed support team, I really appreciate you taking the time to work with me - I knew when humans looked at it, they would know we were legit. Thank you again everyone at Indeed Support!
Ive been trying to post a add to hire employees but Indeeds awful trust and safety team continue to refuse me and pause account even adding three forms of utility bills etc...just awful. AND there is NO customer service or accountability or followup or supervisors to speak with They have lost my confidence and business and I will never promote them. I prefer a lesser competitor as opposed to indeed. Worst experience I have ever had online
It was easy and quick to sift through the applications and stay organized on top of it all.
I was extremely pleased at the number of applicants I received in such a short period of time.
Beware - if you don't sponsor your job listing they will suspend your account and will not give you a reason why!
I'm the CES and the founder of a tech startup that develops apps for local communities. After 2 years of product development, we launched our apps on the App Store and Google Play, and started hiring sales reps and brand ambassadors.
We posted a free ad for a sales position on indeed to test the quality of the candidates. After a few hours, I received an email that our account has been suspended. The only information provided were links to the Terms of Use and Job Posting guidelines. We carefully went through both documents multiple times and were not able to see a single violation.
Indeed provides an option to appeal the suspension decision, which we did. We provided information about the company, website URL, phone number and additional information about the job. The next day we received the following email:
Your account was reviewed and unfortunately, the decision has been made that your advertisements cannot be shown on Indeed. Your account currently is not accruing costs, and this is a final decision. No further action is required on your part. No additional details regarding this decision will be provided.
In other words: our decision is final and we will not tell you why.
After spending days sending emails and contact messages, all of which were ignored, we created a new account and posted a different free job for a brand ambassador. The job listing described the company, its products, job requirements, salary etc. Unsurprisingly, the account got blocked again. Once again, we submitted an appeal and got the same response: our decision is final and we will not tell you why.
The only reason that comes to mind is that we didn't sponsor the listing. There is absolutely no violation of any term or guideline in the jobs we posted.
I plan to file a complaint to the BBB for falsely advertising that employers can post for free, and I encourage other employers to do the same! Let's stop indeed from using fraudulent bad business practices to attract paying advertisers!
What a waste of time! Stay away!
UPDATE: indeed responded to my review saying "No additional details regarding this decision will be provided. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."
We posted a job offer and within 48 hours we had all the resume we needed to make a hire!
Better than linkedin and the job sites like monster and careerbuilder.
