Indeed

Indeed is set up to strong favor large employers. As a small employer, I would put through the ringer as they turned me down for placing an ad for an employee. After their website demanded information that only a large employer would have, I thought the ad was final posted, but then found it was not. There never notified me that they were not posting it. So I had to call them several times and have them not believe that I am a real person with a real job to offer. Small employers are treated badly by the company policies.

I found 4+ jobs on indeed that don't have a job posting individual who answers potential employee's questions on this site, and includes a work-at-home scam that I am currently struggling to rectify. Despite this, the customer support assures me that it is all right and that they were able to "verify" (read disclaim job seekers concerns about) potential employers and listings. I would definitely avoid this site.

I am the owner of the largest real estate photography company in central Texas. I needed to hire right away and they cancelled my account (twice) and would not tell me why. I give up. I'm not able to go back to Indeed because they completely closed my accounts, but I am not sure I would want to. I need reliability when trying to search for candidates and obviously I'm not able to get it with them.
(Which is unfortunate because I have made 3 good hires with them previously.)

Posting your resume or even applying for a job posted on Indeed is a waste of time. Have talked to 3 prospective employers and all three said they never received a resume but just a name from Indeed. My advice, look for work on Indeed but do not complete the process but rather submit your resume by other means either through another hiring agency or directly to the company. This is how I got my job and this is also how I learned of Indeed's incompetence.

The moderators on the forums are bias and will delete posts and ban users for no good reason. They're on a power trip and enjoy deleting posts and banning users. I have used Indeed for years and they were great, but in October 2012, Indeed became an independent operating unit of Recruit Co. Ltd. After that they went downhill and they SUCK….

They consolidate a bunch of search engines into one. They scan colleges, job boards, and I think craigslist, etc. You do get expired listings and it isn't totally complete, but it is free and does seem to get leads.

I like the website because it's easy to search for what you want and easy to apply. But my partner has been applying for jobs for almost 6 month with no luck. He was told he had the job by TWO companies that turned out to be SCAMS. Now they have all the information on his cv plus a scan of his drivers licence. On another note, almost NONE of these jobs ever respond.

I was shocked to see why my job posting ability is been disabled. I created an account on Indeed as I have many open positions to close. They have or mentioned any reason for that which is more annoying.

Today when i opened my indeed account I came to know that Indeed disabled my account for no reason and without giving me any prior heads up. I've been using indeed to find potential candidates for vacant posts in our organization. I never misused indeed in any way. But indeed still disabled my account. I have so many pending hirings lined up which i need to complete asap. I'm extremely disappointed from this site. The least you guys could do for me was just to inform me or give me a headsup.

I am a small business owner who had recently started using Indeed and provided all required information. I was effectively receiving applicants for my job postings and suddenly had my account disabled without any information. I have now lost all information on my applicants and job postings. I have appealed several times and Indeed immediately issues that I am still in violation. Could I please have someone from support help me get my account back?

Like others here, we are a small company. I posted our job (a job that was verbatim posted to another site and accepted) and our account was suspended without explanation. Indeed did, of course, charge our credit card and they are preventing us from accessing information on those who did apply. We will be contesting that charge with our credit card company. Stay away from Indeed.com.

My account has been disabled for no reason, i sent all the documents requested from me.The job posting went alive, but after a few hours I received an email that my account was disabled. I've read the terms and conditions and I did not see any violations on my posting.

The account was verified. So I don't really understand why the account suddenly got disabled without any specific reason.
I love it at first because it's user-friendly however we are really disappointed and frustrated right now because of this issue. And upon reading the reviews, it seems that it is a common issue. The account being disabled for no specific reason and there's no one to reach out to for a customer chat support.

Can someone reached out to me directly on my email to resolve this issue?

Looking for overseas jobs (Europe). Going to the Indeed Overseas site it only lists US jobs and alerts US jobs. None are outside the US as I've requested. This site also sends irrelevant jobs via email. Just because I have technician after my name does not mean I do any and all tech work! Useless

We posted two jobs on the Indeed.com as the employer during the last week. One is full time job and another one is part time. Suddenly we had our account disabled without any explanation. They are both urgently needed.

This is becoming even more urgent, because almost one hundred applicants are waiting for our reply as I am writing this review. Without any official explanation from Indeed.com, we do not even know what is causing this to happen and how we can fix this. I wish we could find a phone number for contacting Indeed.com and providing whatever details they would like from us. Please response to us ASAP. Thanks.

We are looking to hire some new potential employees, much like the rest of employers around the country, and without any explanation, our account was disabled and our job posting was taken down. I haven't heard anything back in regards to why, and after reading the other reviews of businesses, I see that we are not alone in this issue.

I just started a new business and posted a job looking for employees only to be instantly blocked and given no reason why. My post followed all requirements and I can't believe as a new and small business they just instantly block.

UPDATE:
Indeed still has me jumping through hoops to get my account enabled again even after giving them the supporting documentation they requested. I've had no answer and they continue to give me unclear reasons as to why my account has been disabled and what I need to do to enable it. This is the most unprofessional and frustrating service for a new business looking to hire employees.

I posted a job and sponsored it. I went to check in on it today and found out that my account has been disabled. Indeed did not contact me to let me know this. My job posting is no longer up, and as far as I know it hasn't been up for days. No reason or cause was given to me.

To add to this, I tried to contact Indeed thru the employer support center. The page that asks "What best describes you?", "what do you need help with?", and "briefly describe the issue" is not letting me press "continue." I have tried on multiple browsers. There is no help phone number available or email address I can contact directly. I am a paying customer who has zero access to customer support. My only hope is to post here.

I've used Indeed before successfully at my old company. I am in disbelief that this is how I am treated. This is absolutely unprofessional.

I have been given the run around by customer service for days now. They will not return phone calls and refuse to be of any assistance. They are only allowing our ads to run in their sponsored section but not in the general advertising area under our newest account. I only discovered this because of the poor results we are receiving. We have 3 other companies under different accounts that we have been running ads in the sponsored and general ad sections with great results. Since they refuse to help with this one account I am pulling all 4 accounts and refuse to ever do business with them again.

I have added two different reviews for two different companies and they did not post them. I suspect that since the reviews were not favorable, it might in some way cause loss of revenue for indeed. I have to guess that indeed.com would rather steer clear of the truth about a company than risk being sued. Don't believe the reviews on the site as they have been hand picked by indeed.com.

We have used Indeed for several years, with spending last year of £50k.
Our account has been suspended with no further job postings... Why? No detail, no assistance!
No-one to speak to. Just a decision!
We have looked through the 76 pages of terms and conditions... really!
Surely, speak to the business, highlight the issue. I cant imagine what the issue is.

This is a company that charges huge sums for advertising. The same place that advertises your opening reviews your job from the disgruntled ex employee standpoint. The website is similar to a blog that any body can chat about. There are no credential that they follow.
We recently had a candidate schedule an interview that she immediately left after getting our email. Turns out she wanted to reach out to us via email to sell her products. No interest in the job just out email. There is no security. Sad part is there are no good competitors.

Indeed suspended my employer account and won't let me post any positions. I am a recruiter who helps other companies post and fill positions. I also spend a monthly fee for resume searches. They suspended my account with no warning and of course I can't reach anybody to either discuss this or try to remedy the situation. I am helping a company fill entry level positions and yet they do this with no notice. They are willing to take my monthly fee though. I am so dissatisfied with their customer service and their lack of actually working for small businesses.

I used Indeed well over 5 years ago to look for a job and found it to be very useful. I don't recall if I found a job through them or not but do remember that I did like the service and was able to navigate through their site with ease. I know that every site is not going to be liked be all so you just have to give it a try and see if they work for you or not.
