Indeed

Unlike most other commercial job boards, this site is redundant, basically worthless. Upon 'uploading' a resume, it allows to 'Review' your upload, but then opens a detailed page that requires a repeat of all your information, with added fields to include your skills, technical expertise, etc. Basically what you already have listed on your resume. Just ridiculous. And though I never signed up or requested any job blasts, I receive loads of them in my email. Most of which are irrelevant. Absolute garbage. There are far better job boards like Monster, Careerbuilder, and of course, the jackpot: LinkedIn.

. Employers were contacting me asking if I were interested in working for them! That's right folks, they came too me. Just posted the resume Indeed helped me create... for free. Talk about service. They get you out there. Sure beats looking on Craigslist. Never know what kind of smuck you would encounter. I feel a safer place. The employers and jobs offered on post all seem legit to me, no matter, what kind of job you seek. I've seen any where from the F. B. I to cleaning rooms, mechanics, doctors and dj's. Thumbs up.

Like many other reviewers, our account was disabled without any conversation or reasoning as to why. We have been using our account for over 3 years without issues - and this is the treatment we receive. We have reached out to our Dedicated Specialist, Client Success and Director of Inside Sales both of whom can do nothing to help us. We filed an appeal 5 business days ago, but have not heard anything back. This is the most ridiculous process I have ever experienced and has basically kneecapped our organization from helping our clients. I can't believe that Indeed has the ability to do this and worse, they still have our credit card on file. If anyone at Indeed is reviewing this - here's a hint - maybe call your paying clients first to discuss the issue with them prior to just disabling their account. This is a shameful way to run a business.

It was OK... I had a lot of interest and fell off after a couple weeks. I expected more interest for longer being I sponsored the add. I didn't like that I had to pay for people who applied that were not qualified, even tho I had requirements noted.

I had an ad prior to this about a year ago and did not sponsor. I had almost as much interest then, So by sponsoring the ads in my opinion was not worth the 300.00 I spent

I received the following message at my subscription "This account is currently under review, per Indeed's messaging quality guidelines. The recruiter must submit an appeal before they can contact candidates using this subscription." Indeed does not offer a warning to correct any violations that may be being made to the guidelines or procedures. Neither email nor promted is received to the log-in to inform in detail of the suspension or process. Employer Help Center has no data related to procedures in this situation. Customer Success Specialists are not trained to provide details or procedures.

Mixed review - first time I've used, but not intuitive from an employer side. Have to navigate several clicks to see activity, app doesn't show employer side at all, boosting posts hasn't created a lot of traction, and the "snippets" that are selected to preview on ads aren't selectable. Got one qualified applicant, so not a waste - but not the results I was hoping for. Had equal/better luck at a fraction of the cost with FB post.

I have been working on hiring candidates from indeed since 2020 and it is the only main source of my income, as i hire candidates on behalf of my company and provide them from which i get benefit but indeed disabled my account without any reason i have been using it since 2020 and they rejected my appeal also i dont know what's wrong so disappointing and stressed

As a small business owner, i recently post positions on indeed, and today they blocked me. "Your account has been disabled".
We have posted few jobs and recieved many CVs and you have deleted our account which is not fair. Don't have any customer care contact number

Contacted people as I am looking to hire an editor asap, then the next day my account was suspended with no reason. I contacted them, and their exact response was:

"We have reviewed your account but are unable to lift the suspension. You are not able to contact job seekers through Indeed.

Further appeals or related communications for this suspension will not be considered or responded to."

Unbelievable. This shouldn't even be a company. What a farce. They are preventing people on their from being employed.

Posted a job. Wanted to give Indeed a try. My post got budgeted for $15. It turned into $15 A DAY! My CC was billed for $500 per month for 3 months until my AP people flagged it. Zero Qualified Candidates. Most had no business "applying" for the technical job.

I spoke with their "Help Desk" and was offered $100 in free clicks. Insulting considering they bilked me for $2,000

Watch out!

I am a new business start up that relys on websites like indeed to attracted candidates for my business. I have spent 2 weeks trying to set up an account and post a job online with little success. My first attempt eventually was ignored after being asked to send numerous documents to verify my account. After hearing nothing we attempted to set up a new account using a different email address for the company. We had some success as we were able to post a few jobs online for around 24 hours, before being told our account has been disabled again with the only vague feedback being. 1 or more adverts has been deemed as not consistent with indeed quality standards. My appeal will be looked at within 48 hours, until then I have to wait patiently. Poor communication, very frustrating to deal with!

Where do I even begin? Indeed is notorious for allowing scammers to post fake job postings and not to mention the whole bait & switch used to manipulate job seekers. I ran into at least 7 scammers in the last 5 months and there were multiple positions that appeared to be open, when in reality they were not. Also, I can't tell you how many times salaries were either hidden from me or completely misleading. Very disapointing experience and not helpful at all.

My post was absolutely valid with all information needed for any potential job seekers.
They use some sort of dumb computer filter to filter out job posts.
I guest that free job posting should be filtered out, so they can make money for sponsored job. Since nothing is free, i can understand that. But my review is to just address the real things with indeed

This site isn't half bad for the rates they charge, and how you can get job inquiries. I used this to post a job, and got many hits. You can set limits automatically to how much you spend for each posting hit. It works well, and seems a lot more reasonable than something like monster.com. I like the direction of where this website is going.

I posted an ad yesterday and because I didn't receive a single resume, I called INDEED this morning. Was told they "suspended" (or something like that) my listing until they could verify some information. So, I provided the requested info about our company and was told they'd probably have our account/listing up in 3 days. What? Why so long? I asked the rep what would've happened if I hadn't called and asked the question. She said, nothing. I would've just wondered why no responses... very strange way to handle new business this way. There's got to be a follow-up by the company to get the info they need from me, not the other way around. So, I''ll write another review once our account is up and running to see what kind of responses we get.

Total rip, spent several hundred dollars on 2 jobs. Not a single applicant had any experience in either job (or even any similar job) despite my posting that experience was required. For some reason, I don't think that Truck driver, customer service rep, assistant pastor, or janitor qualifies someone to operate a waterjet or be a screen printer

This site took all my information including photos of my driver's license and credit card number and still refused to share my job positing, disabling my account and claiming I didn't meet their standards. I am a small business owner/author trying to hire a part-time assistant for above minimum wage. No explanation why they wouldn't host my job posting. When I asked them to delete my information considering they served no purpose, they directed me multiple times to a blank page - but kept all my info. Do not use this service if you are an employer!

I am a small takeaway business looking to recruit staff, all of a sudden i got a message to say we have disabled your account and that you need to provide proof, so i emailed a copy of my utility bill but it seems indeed is not accepting it for some reason. I require staff urgently and here is Indeed disabling accounts for some reason. There is no other way of contact other than email.

We tried both sponsored and free. Did not get an increase in applicants, nor was the skill set better with sponsored ad. Also although we could control costs w/sponsored option we ended up spending more and getting fewer applicants than on Craigslist. Love the free option on Indeed and am appreciative of it.

I would give zero stars but can't. I spent all day properly filling out my first job post. It went live for 2 hours and then got the "your ability to post job has been disabled" message.
What's the point of allowing me to advertise for 2 hours only to disable the account?

They are too sensitive to stufffffffff... pft
Locked me out for legitimate jobs I needed to post. It has been going on for a year.
Apparently they have no idea what my intentions where, they should hire more psychics or something.

As a job seeker I used Indeed for a few years. Recently I became an employer in need of staff. Because I already had an Indeed account I decided to post it through there. Almost immediately I was instructed to call in to verify my account. I called in and verified all of the information with the phone rep, twice. I was told that everything was okay and I would get an email when my post was published. The email I got was my account was blocked! Not only blocked but they want very specific information on the business, which I'm not comfortable doing since NO other provider asks for such documents to post a job. Called back and was told there is nothing they can do. Save your time and post your jobs on a site that will help you meet your staffing needs

After leaving a review here, we were contacted by Indeed and after a few emails back and forth they were able to send our case to review and the block was lifted. I still have no idea why it happened in the first place but we are very grateful to be able to contact possible hires again. Thanks!
