Indeed

I am an employer seeking to post and sponsor jobs on Indeed. I setup an account and was asked to provide documents for business verification. I submitted the Articles of Incorporation which was approved by the Texas Secretary of State. I also provided a lease agreement showing the company name and my name executing the lease. My verification was rejected. I contacted customer support and they were not helpful. Being the owner of a business and trusted by over 300 clients being rejected by a Team called Safety and Trust is offensive to me as a trusted business owner. The verification process needs major improvement.

Constantly asked me to sign in, spammed my email with there junk still to this day, they allowed scammers to post job listing i had to cancel my bank account due to this. Very unsatisfied. This company is a resume destroyer.

Ive worked at a company for 20 year. Still employed there. Ive tried multiple times to write a honest review of the company. Each time i get rejected for going against guidlines. Absolutely nothing wrong with what I wrote. Its a negative review. People should be able to read honest reviews before they apply.

Indeed has demonstrated themselves untrustworthy. They knowingly allow employers who spend a lot of money to run employment openings consistently to post misrepresented job posts. They also allow companies to post fake five star reviews on the platform. The company I worked for after obtaining employment through Indeed did both of these things. I complained to Indeed about it but they did nothing. In the six years I was duped but this job posting I have consistently seen these fake reviews on the platform. They don't care what gets posted as long as they make money from he company engaged in wrongdoing. They are not accountable for anything. I ended up in a lawsuit against my employer when, after working full time for a month, they failed to pay me and unlawfully fired me for asking for my pay. My employer called into question the authenticity of the job post so I contacted Indeed to obtain verification of the jist on the platform and when and by whom it was posted. Their customer service agent located it in their archives in five minutes. She told me to send the subpoena to *******@indeed.com. But Indeed objected to the subpoena and refused to authenticate the post. They said it is was improperly served because it i wasn't delivered person. I'm in Florida and their legal department is in Texas. They also said it was a violation of Texas Penal Code, and a violation of the Stored Communications Act- both of which are false. They also said it was "overly burdensome" to authenticate one job post on their site. And they said they don't have to comply with a subpoena unless it's from a case originating in a court within 100 miles of their corporate office in Texas. None of these are valid objections. They were just helping this shady employer from whom they make tons of money from rather than helping me recover my wages by verifying that one job post was on the site and posted my my employer. Indeed is just as shady as the employers who use the platform to scam job seekers. Beware of Indeed!

One must be registered and logged in to read reviews from (former) employees! Then one can read every review? Not at all! Of course, one must first have written a review themselves to be able to read every review! One also has to enter the email one uses at Indeed to be able to write a review here! Recognize the error...

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!

I am a legitimate business owner of a star-up company. Never run into any issue with Indeed in the past. One day, I received an email telling me the company account was disabled, no reason provided. I went through the appealing process and provided the documents including business registration certificate, by-laws... I explained, as the company is still in the early stage, everyone works remotely from home, so there is no Lease and utility bill, etc. I still got denied. Indeed says " Your company is unsuitable for Indeed." Why? How?　No reason provided, and decision is final. All the customer Raps just repeated same thing with their arrogant and cold voice--"no reason, and decision is final." It provides no help at all. I am still clueless what is wrong. Really frustrated and disappointed!

Hello,
I run a small business company in ossining in new york, I went through the appealing process and provided my internet bill, after few minutes, I received an email saying that my business is unsuitable.
Why? How?
Your killing me.

I am a freelance recruiter and was heavily relying on indeed job posting. My account was suddenly paused and I am losing my credibility with my clients. This means if anybody who is a freelancer and earning his bread and butter from freelancing but does not have a company cannot post jobs on indeed. I was already billed for the job posting and before I can download the applications my account was paused, this is totally fraud as they are charging for posting and not letting us to download the applications for which we already paid

As I see we are facing pretty much the same issue as many people describing their experience here. Same story, account created, sponsored ads running for months, and one day we randomly get banned. Tried to appeal, got an email that we're banned and its final decision. No reasons no nothing. And the worst part is that they send emails to all candidates that this job might be a scam! We are legally running our business and things like this cost us a fortune! But it's a normal practice to Indeed. Please avoid this company and try to find other way to source candidates!

I feel utterly helpless, and increasingly frustrated! I have logged on to Indeed, assuming I could place my adverts (with no time to spare as re opening after a long lock down) only to discover my employers account has been disabled again!
I have spent an hour attempting to find a way to communicate and failed miserably!
The 1st time was due to an accidental recruitment Bill running during the 1st lock down (which we paid in full) however reluctantly. But at least knew why! We were then re connected. To only discover yet again when I need them most! Disabled.
Hey come on guys... you're supposedly a professional service, non of your contact numbers are live either. We have used your company for well over 5 years and have a lot of important information on here. You can see we are legitimate! Please help me here!?

I am a small business owner that has a group therapy private practice using Indeed to hire new clinicians with. My account was active, then hours later my account was disabled for no reason at all. I was not given an explanation or any additional information. Really disappointed that indeed would prevent mental health business services during a mental health crisis because of the pandemic.

EDIT: Indeed replied that they are working on my appeal but i'm back to edit the comment to let everyone know Indeed is lying. They responded with "It appears that your request may require specialized attention and our Client Success team can better assist you. Please view our Help Center for further assistance with this issue." They provided no assistance, no call back number, and told me to purchase insurance for my company, and then when I did, they told me they won't accept it. Indeed owes me money and an explanation... This is straight theft!

We are a new small business employing front of house and kitchen staff. Our account was suspended without any prior guidance giving us a chance rectify whatever their issue is with our posts. Hopeful applicants are also left on standby. This is not professional or fair for employers or potential employees. Indeed really needs to review the way they deal with their account members.

Started using Indeed to recruit an increasing sales force. Spent hours navigating the site and creating job postings and even sponsored one job while posting 4 others using free service. Despite having my name, email, 30 year old business, Palazzo Realtors, LLC, my credit card and cell phone validated my jobs were suspended. When I appealed and asked why they took emailed me with a rejection email and no explanation. I called the company and was told that I could continue to email the "final decision" email. This company obviously is discriminating against a female owned and operated small business!

As a small business owner, i recently post positions on indeed, and today they blocked me. "Your account has been disabled".
For WHAT? "not consistent with Indeed's quality standards." WHAT standards? They won't tell.

During this pandemic i could not believe they do this to support the economy, unbelievable.

Have been using Indeed for fulfilling our Company hiring needs for about 3 years, Suddenly, without any explanation or valid reason, Indeed has disabled my employer account. We have never misused Indeed in any way, I have so many pending hirings lined up which i need to complete asap. I'm extremely disappointed from this site. Really awful experience.

Just another small business not allowed to thrive on your site. Following guidelines and sponsoring an ad is not enough for indeed apparently. I am a recruiting agency hiring for a for profit marketing company working exclusively in the nonprofit sector - therefore charities and hospitals for fundraising. Indeed disabled my account with no notice or explanation and then proceed to reject an appeal within a matter of 2 minutes! I have been using them for 4 months now continuously paying for a service. I am deeply saddened by the customer service provided, as there is none.

Indeed disabled my account after only 24 hrs of receiving applications. I've been recruiting for small businesses for years and have NEVER encountered anything like this. I appealed the decision and got an email from them saying that they've reviewed the account and found it was in violation! Of what?! There was no detail ever given that explains it. The fact that more than 75+ people applied to our role in less than 24 hours says that we're a business that people want to work for! Jerks. Don't waste your time or money with them.

I have used indeed for many years throughout my time as a recruiter, since setting up my own Ltd company I had created an indeed account, sent in all required documentation, posted my jobs and sponsored them, only to have my account disabled, I've appealed the decision twice, emailed them 3 times and called them twice and still have no reason or resolution in place. This has been going on for 8 days. Will move to zip recruiter and not use indeed any longer.

Indeed can allow your job offer to be seen (or not) - it's all a game played depending on how much money you pay. They can stop it from being seen if too many people "click" or if you simply don't spend enough money daily. Many job seekers use this site, so it can still be beneficial - providing you spend enough money daily. One great thing about Indeed is that you can request that applicants do some testing before they are considered for your open position through Indeed, with no extra cost. So, if you need, for example, "attention to detail" you can see how an applicant scores in that area right up front. Bad news is, plenty of applicants are too lazy to do the tests - no fault of Indeed, just the way of the world today.

This has always been one of my top search engines for new jobs, it pools together all the roles you need.

But overtime I've noticed this company has fallen down a bit. They spam your emails, texts, and even WhatsApp and it's quite difficult to turn off.

There's some bugs and issues with the app too and sometimes it makes me feel that there are better alternatives.

You're still good, Indeed, but I think you need to pull it together before you slip even further.

It's free. It's a wonderful tool for searching for applicable jobs (other than it occasionally refers me to jobs that really don't fit simply as a result of some key words showing up somewhere in the text of the inapplicable job description), including management and executive level positions. I've used it to submit resumes direct to employers. Now if someone can help to get the attention of the companies' recruiters after their "don't call us we'll call you" email response...

We had been using Indeed for over one year and everything was running smoothly. Then all of a sudden Indeed disabled job postings on our account. We inquired about this development from Indeed Team and initially, they did reply to our query but we still have not been given the exact reason why the feature of job posting and contacting candidates has been disabled. Now customer care is not replying regarding our situation and we are unsure how to take things forward. We want to keep our business on Indeed as it is the best platform for recruiting. Uncertainty looms over us right now and we could not find any other way to contact Indeed. So, it is hoped that this review might aid us in resolving our conundrum or at least make the Indeed Team aware that customer service hasn't been responding and accounts are being disabled.
