Indeed

Indeed is like most of the big job boards out there - mostly junk listings that are way outdated, but some good jobs in the mix. Just like craigslist and other job boards, be wary of what contact information you choose to share on your uploaded resume, as recruiters can and will contact you for jobs that you aren't qualified for if they've got your phone number. And from my experience, they have no concept of time zones either.

I've been using this app for months and I started to notice that replies that I received from the companies that I applied has the same word by word response. I think they are just using fake job posting. No interviews and no real person just a bunch of automated replies.

We were paying so much money with them. Close to $1000 a week and than closed our account for no reason. Ohh and support on here, don't tell me useless things like ohh we need to see if you're a real business. We have been clients of yours for over 2 years and spent $1000s. If you useless people want to play like this. I will be doing a chargeback against your useless company for services not supplied.

I used indeed to apply for numerous positions for two months and could not understand why I was not even getting one call back. I finally called one of the companies directly and was informed indeed had never even sent my info to them. I had to forward my resume and was hired within a week! Now I understand why I had no calls... no one received my resume! Indeed is good to find who is hiring, but don't waste your time using their system! Contact the hiring company directly!

We have used Indeed to hire candidates across Canada and the US. We spend ~$2,500 per month with Indeed. Today they suspended our account without any rationale why. When we appealed we were rejected without any rationale. This is incredibly frustrating as Indeed is one of our main sources of candidates.

I liked that fact that we can read resumes. I disliked that there are too many very old resumes that really don't apply. I would like it if these resumes were removed if the people were no longer looking for a job. I did receive 11 resumes and not one of them had any qualifications required for the job and more than half were not even for the field we were hiring for. By looking at resumes we found people to contact but none of the resumes were current. I like the system but feel like it is lacking. I guess it is just timing as well. The pricing is also not bad.

I posted a job ad for my company and even sponsored it. Talked with a few really good candidates but what do you know, they disabled my account and won't tell me the reason. Now I can't even access the previous messages with those candidates.

I would verify the account with all the required documents but they don't even give me a chance.

EDIT: They have contacted me and I sent them all required business documents. Still they won't re-enable my account and it seems like they don't want any business with smaller companies.

After posting my position on Indeed, I received many resumes from people who met the requirements for the position. Ultimately, I was able to hire 4 new staff members who I believe will meet my expectations.

I have used Indeed to search for potential hires for approximately one year. Recently, when I attempted to contact a candidate, I learned that I was suspended from emailing the job-seeker. I filed the Indeed appeal form (which asks why you think your account was suspended) because I have no idea why I was suspended. This was the response I received, "We have reviewed your account and will not be lifting the suspension for Indeed Resume. Suspension of your ability to contact job seekers has no effect on your ability to post or sponsor jobs on Indeed.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Further appeals for this suspension will not be considered or responded to."

Interesting that one can still post or sponsor jobs on Indeed but, contacting a candidate is not permitted. How in the... does that work? Save your time and money

I just decided I should move on from the company I'm currently with so I put my resume and information on Indeed and downloaded the app as well. It's been really helpful and pretty well with updating new jobs, ones that are a great match for me, ones I should or would have a better chance at applying at.

They disabled by employer account for no reason. I only posted 2 jobs hiring people for my new business. They are just money hungry. They need your money. F-off indeed and your policies and useless support

Horrible customer service - I do not recommend indeed.com

As an employer, I tried to fill an opening through indeed.com. I was on a tight timeline, and after two days (while I thought my job was posted), I received a request for additional corporate information. I provided this. Two days later, another request. Either one could have been filled up-front. I provided all information asked for, then 2 days later, my account was closed for no reason. I run a legitimate business, and was in need of good employees. Indeed.com is not the place to go to find them.

Due to the ad I was running I had to pay for the service using a pay per click method. I spent 100 dollar with no likely candidates. Just a bunch of people applying to jobs that don't bother to read the job description.

Like so many of the reviews already posted, my business account was disabled without explanation. What is disappointing as a small business owner is that we are dealing with so much within this pandemic and you would think that we would all work together to stay afloat. Instead, Indeed is doing the opposite by disabling people's accounts without an explanation.In essence, they are cutting off the very lifelines needed to substain a lot of our small businesses. Why aren't individuals given an opportunity to rectify or resolve anything before the accounts are disabled? Instead, you are given a very generic and cold email that says that you are disabled and that this is the final say without further explanation. It is disheartening to even see the other businesses that posted on here that were swindled after they paid for a service. I just wish we all could have had some insight about Indeed prior to this happening.

Gave me a great rate the first month and never told me about a monthly charge. I have called many times for jayson at indeed never once called back to close my account which is being charged 50.00 monthly for nothing. Never use this account. His privet phone is *******824. Call him he will never call you back. Ronald grimm in wintersville ohio. Not worth 1 star rating

Hi we are foodmanufacturing and export company and had been using Indeed services. We had recruited technical staff using Indeed portal but suddenly one day our account got disabled without any explanation. We have appealed several times but we get the same computer generated response. Please assist

As an employer, I was a little uncertain of the "pay per click" as I have been burned by AdWords. Don't recommend them either. Indeed.com seems to work the same way, I smoked $200 in 4 hours with nothing to show for it. I agreed to pay up to $5 per lead/click and before I knew it I had an email from Indeed.com prompting me to increase my budget. So the way I see it is I had 40 "clicks" with NO candidates... see ya Indeed.com - EMPLOYERS BEWARE!

IM with 4 other job search sites, and got nowhere in 3weeks, as soon as i tried indeed it was a more refined search and i could send my cv without any problems to all the positions I applied for, i already have and interview after 3 days with indeed.
I will always recommend indeed.

It was unclear to me that I had to discontinue after 3 days and was charged for another few days. The rep did, however, give me a credit. That was nice, except who knows if I'll need to us it. No one who responded was suitable.

I have had to create 2 accounts because my first was disabled and then my second moments after I created a job posting. No one to contact. No explanation. I am need of candidates but I am not able to get the help I need. I am not doing anything to break any rules. I am willing to pay and do whatever is needed to fill my job roles but I cant seem to keep an account open for a day.

The site is tricky to navigate and isn't laid out very well.
Also, almost every candidate had the same CV layout and after speaking to some candidates it was obvious that they weren't aware that the website sent the information in this way. To employers this takes away the personal touch that you would normally get from the individual's CV and it also missed off some relevant information.

If you're looking for a job online, you've come to the wrong place. I have been trying indeed.com for months now and have yet to even fill out an application! When you click on a job to apply it never loads, and if it does load it will crash shortly after. Come to indeed.com looking for a job, leave with a headache. Its as simple as that.

Hey, you guys need to get your $#*! together. When I ask for material/planner scheduler positions I dont expect to see electrical engineering positions or warehousing positions or other positions not even pertaining to my search. Wake up!
