    INDEED IS A COMPLETE RIP OFF TO CLIENTS WHO POST JOB OPENINGS ON THEIR SITE!!! I opened a job posting on 10/31/2024, and by 15 days later, I had only received 10 applicants. FOR THESE 10 APPLICANTS, THEY CHARGED ME $700.00!!!! I am told that this is because they NOW charge you for every single person that even looks at your job posting, and not for the ones who actually are qualified to apply!!!! THAT IS UNSCRUPULOUS, that anyone would be charged for those people who are just mind-numbingly perusing their website to "just see what is out there", with no intentions as a serious job seeker. Do not use Indeed, unless you have a lot of money to throw away!!!

    Hi Kathy,

    at Indeed employers are charged per click to advertise a job on Indeed, not per candidate. Unfortunately, we are not directly involved in the hiring process so we have no control over the quality or quantity of the candidates that apply to your jobs. In addition, you can pause or close a job posting at any time. It is the responsibility of the account holder to keep track of any sponsored jobs.

    Best regards,

    The Indeed Team

    Nightmare and lying company to deal with. Our business is fully incorporated and registered with business email that also includes our website with it. We called their employer verification hotline and they told us there was no reason to not approve us with the information we provided. In addition we also provided the articles of incorporation which they clearly state can be provided to verify the business. After providing the information, they state that the articles of incorporation are public documents. Even though they are, why are they saying in their guidelines to upload these, if they don't accept them. They have wasted hours of our businesses time and of course we won't be doing any business with them from now on. We will be working with LinkedIn, Monster and Real Job boards that are actually reputable.

      The new program (since Sept 2023) is VERY CONFUSING!!! Constantly feeling you are getting charged for something else you did not know about. Called 10+ times to understand HOW TO.... The employees themselves are NOT familiar with the workings of the website program. Calls to billing get nowhere.

      As an applicant Indeed is a runaround AI runaround. Data is not safe. Lots a ghost or fake jobs too. The app is shady it seems and a money grab and data grab. Employers paying for this “service”’ should examine fee-per click $ and bills.

      I tried purchasing the "Resume Review" multiple times and it doesn't seem like to work when I have been charged multiple times for $50 CAD each time that I tried by pressing "Confirm Payment" multiple times on April 16th, 2024. On the day of 9th of May, 2024 I sent a screenshot of proof of purchase more than once after being asked too and then when they asked for a bank statement I was waiting for my bank to send me a PDF of the proof of purchase of the Resume Review to send it to Indeed but then people in Indeed were not patient at all that they closed the case/request. I was patient for at least 3 days for each email that I send and wait for them to email me back, this is embarrassing for me that I have to go back and forth to the bank and the fact the staffs in the bank were arguing with in thinking that I was wasting their time. So it's easy for Indeed to take my money but it isn't easy to give me the service that I paid for?

      They tried to scam me immediately and now I have to cancel my credit card again so they won't steal my money. I tried to post an ad to recruit some employees for my company and they asked if I wanted to try a free trial to promote it. They then froze my account, used up my free trial for nothing and I just got an email saying they're about to charge my credit card anyways without even posting my ad. I didn't violate their guidelines at all. I just posted an ad looking for a laborer. Simple stuff.

      I contacted the customer service and support line more than 4 times in order to activate my account, the answer I received was unacceptable and they mentioned that they could not verify the trade license. It looks like they tell you that they advertise one job post for free, but they will find obstacles. Maybe they want you to pay for job posting. Anyway, it looks like many employers have negative feedback.

      Hello all, I have filed a 10M lawsuit against “INDEED.” They are indeed a scam and use bots they use to communicate false information between job seekers and the so called, “employers” seeking employees. The entire format is fraud and deception and I can prove it, via the experience that happened to me and subsequent lawsuit I filed in Arizona Federal District Court. Please look at, BENEDICT v. INDEED, for info and updates on the case.

      Burned by Indeed again... Reviewed 180 resumes, 12 phone interviews, 5 in person interviews set up...4 out of 5 applicants no showed no called. After a good phone interview! The one 'show'...missing a front tooth in a receptionist job. Absolutely unbelievable. Just under $500 in cost and hours of my time. I don't get it??

      How come their candidates seem so 'bottom of the barrel'. LinkedIn is much more productive but avoid the 'promotion' part of the job. That is their scam.

      Hi Nicolas, we know finding the right candidate can be a tough process. Please keep in mind that Indeed cannot control candidate behavior and that includes whether they show up for interviews. In addition, when a job is posted on Indeed it is publicly available for anyone to apply for. We recommend checking out our resources page: https://www.indeed.com/hire/resources/recruitment-hiring. It contains many articles that could be helpful to your candidate search.
