Hello... I honestly wouldn't even give Indeed a one star review! They are truly a joke. I have applied for sooooo many jobs, with only to get a response that they are moving forward with the next candidate. This company is a true scam! Folks, please don't waste your time!
Hi Abba, we know job searching can be tough and discouraging, especially when you're not hearing back from employers. While Indeed isn't directly involved in the hiring process, we recommend checking out this resource on our Career Guide about what to do if you're not hearing back from employers: https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/finding-a-job/what-to-do-if-you-arent-hearing-back-from-employers. We wish you the best of luck in your job search!

EMPLOYERS BEWARE!! I was billed $164 for 3 days worth of job posting advertisements. I was told it was due to my budget & 79 clicks at $2.08 each? What??? Where was this info when I was posting? Customer service rep could care less - she has a schmeel she goes through over & over again to justify their untransparent billing. Super disappointed. Closed my account & removed my payment info.
Hi J, Indeed uses a cost-per-click model, so you’re only charged when someone clicks your job. You set your own budget and can pause or close a job at any time to stop new charges. We aim to show estimated costs and settings clearly during posting, and we are sorry this wasn’t your experience. Your feedback helps us improve how we explain pricing and controls. Let us know if you need any assistance, we are here to help!

If you were forced to resign from your previous place of employment due to events beyond your control e.g. medical, accident, injury, etc., this platform is a joke!! It forces the user to upload their resume, then from that the algorithm feeds openings that are based on your resume. I had sustained severe injuries as a result of a botched surgery to where I can no longer do physical tasks that my previous job(s) involved. Yet every listing Indeed sends me is physically demanding and requires the ability to do physical tasks I can no longer do.

This used to be a great place to view jobs. Now they make you log in and give your phone number so you can receive unsolicited calls from unqualified opportunities. Whoever thought this was a great business model was horribly wrong and missed the mark completely. I would venture a guess that business has dropped significantly in specialized professions. Good luck Indeed if this is your last ditch effort to capture revenue.

I had to post negative reviews on a handful of review sites, but posting here finally got someone from Indeed to take care of the matter on their end.

Someone on the site is using my fraudulently using my CC and Indeed is requiring ME to provide the email address fraudulently using my CC on their site before they will stop it, citing privacy concerns of the other party. Cancelled my card, but also cancelling my indeed account.
Hi Benjamin, we have sent you a PM to gather some information. Please follow up with us there. Thank you!

I just got scammed by a job offer that used a recruiter from Indeed. All the sudden I got about 10 offers from jobs I never applied for. They got my last four digits saying it was to make sure I was able to work in the USA.
Hi Tom, we take the security of our job seekers very seriously, we would like to investigate this further, can you please send us an email to socialcare@indeed.com with additional details so we can ensure this is investigated.

I've received several text message verification codes attempting to verify my log in attempt. I was not trying to log in and believe that someone was trying to "hijack" my account. When attempting to reach out to Indeed I discovered that they have no customer service phone number, live chat or really any visible way to contact them to discuss this. What protocols are in place to prevent someone from using my name, telephone number, address and email address to create a fake account? How am I to protect myself from this?
Hi Rebecca, we would like to take a closer look at what happened here. We will follow up with you through PM. Thank you.

Indeed is a Joke and I believe that half if not all the Job postings are a Dead end. I have Applied for numerous Job Listings that I am qualified for, but never receive Interviews or if I do go to Interview all of a sudden the Hiring CEO or Staff member had a Family Emergency and needs to Reschedule for another Interview date, but never receive a message or Phone call back from the Company.
Hi Jed! If a job is still visible on Indeed, it means the employer has actively posted it and is hiring for that role. Our goal is to connect job seekers with employers, but we can’t guarantee responses. However, we want you to have every possible tool and support. Here is a resource that many job seekers find helpful: https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/finding-a-job/what-to-do-if-you-arent-hearing-back-from-employers. Your feedback will be passed along!

First and foremost, you have it that you are looking for a job at a 15 mile distance from your home but I constantly receive out of your state posts and over 15 mile radius distance from my home. If I live in New Jersey, why would Indeed send me posts for jobs in Pennsylvania? Job posts sent to my email doesn’t fit my qualifications. I don’t recommend Indeed to anyone. I even received job posts that’s in California when I live in NJ.
Hi Orito, if a certain job title has limited availability in a location, our search engine automatically shows other jobs beyond your initial search query. Indeed’s search engine is built to surface the most relevant roles. Broad keyword matching or limited context can pull in unrelated results. We’re continually refining this so the right jobs show first. To get the most relevant results, enter keywords between quotation marks related to the job you want (for example: "Social Media Manager").

This site is absolute trash. They have the worst quality jobs and no matter WHAT you set as your preferred location, full or part time, etc. as filters, it literally doesn't matter at all. They will return results ENTIRELY wrong for you, without fail, every time and without any recourse or way to fix it. I hope I live to see this business fail and if you're an employer, use anything but Indeed. It's trash water.
Hi Jason,
We are very sorry to hear that you feel this way, we would like to assist with your search to help ensure you are seeing the most relevant results. Can you please send us an email to socialcare@indeed.com with more details on the search you are running so we can work with you on this. Thanks!
