Indeed Reviews

Indeed does not do enough to prevent fraudsters from posting fake job listings. I recently applied to a job listing on Indeed for Redfin. It turns out that it was a fraudster pretending to be a Redfin hiring agent. This fraudster has my resume which contains name, phone number, home address as well as education and employment history. Thankfully, I caught on before attending an interview but Indeed was far too slow in taking this fraudulent ad down. Meanwhile, my personal information is with goodness knows who. I will never use Indeed again.

I previously had great experiences using Indeed. Job offers, interviews, etc.. In the past year though it has been difficult to get filters to stay on, keeps referring me to RN jobs I have no medical background.. The listings are not clean. Ex. Jobs are staying on there for well beyond 30 days. There has been one specific job I know for sure is a ghost posting as they refresh it monthly for the last year (*cough* CARDS Waste Management we see you). There are so many ghost positions it's insane. Please do better check in with the employers. Hold everyone a little more accountable, make your filters work.

Wow, I had such a terrible experience with this company and I can’t even write a Google review about it. They offered me a free credit to sponsor a job listing. I had gotten. Many responses and I wasn’t getting any hardly. I decided to use that credit. When the credit was used, I want to keep my job posting up because initially I had said I wanted to hire somebody within a week. Well that to me, he did not indicate by any means that I would be paying $35 a day to continue to have this job posting on Indeed but I have been charged $465. When I called the company to complain and ask for some of my money back at least, they were completely rude and dismissive and had zero solutions or sympathy. Sure using indeed, but don’t ever use their sponsor tools or credit without being extremely careful and don’t expect anything if you have a problem with customer service.

I used to believe that Indeed was not a scam. But now I believe it is a Scam. I am a mature worker, so I largely ran into age related biases. I was a member of Indeed for many years. But I recently got hired with a company.. But then I got a letter from Indeed stating that they had not hired me and "Moved to the next level". They used the word unfortunately. But yesterday, Even though I had been hired, and working for this company for days, they told me the company decided not to hire me.. They were COMPLETELY WRONG.! So, it is now my educated opinion that INDEED IS A SCAM!

As an employer, I was on Indeed's site. I read the payment structure and thought that I understood what was proposed. In fact, Indeed charges you incredible amounts of money with next to no credible results. I would not recommend Indeed to any employer. My industry is real estate but you are better off advertising in a newspaper classified section..

Legitimately the WORST job website, data harvesting, ghost posts, half the listings are fake, 90% of the applications never go through, I can't tell you how many times I scheduled an interview through Indeed, showed up, and the interviewer said there was nothing scheduled and they didn't see any applications. It's garbage.

As I have hearing impairment, I do not own a telephone. This appears to mean that I am currently locked out of viewing my own information, checking on what job replies I might have, or viewing the terms and conditions that Indeed invite me to agree to. How can it be legal for you to agree to terms and conditions without viewing them? I have been unhappy with the customer service replies, which appear to be auto-generated, and to ignore the information given to customer service. I find myself in a loop of password denials and poor customer service. One star, but I hope this does not raise Indeed's average.

Most of the new jobs I apply for end up as "expired". Likely no big deal to them, but if your bills are due and your kids are hungry, finding a job is key. Indeed can take a long walk off a short pier.

They take your freedom of speech, your story you try to tell about what a company has done to you in a review about the company, and they reject it. My own feeling is that they are paid by companies to do so. I cannot believe I got on there, wrote what went on at this job and they completely rejected my review and made it to where nobody else could read it. I will never use Indeed.com again. Taking freedom of speech that is in no way vulgar or threatening is wrong. Do not believe the reviews you read on there because indeed.com will not allow bad reviews on all companies.

Why would they get rid of resume editing, template.. & only leave the weirdest option- to upload your own (ok) but the it reformats it in its own style. Used to be great, now almost useless in resume department. 👎

I am licensed to practice law in Connecticut. Indeed bombards me with job postings for jobs that are limited to lawyers licensed in states other than Connecticut. I can not apply for those jobs. It takes time to shift through the jobs Indeed sends me to see if I am qualified to apply for the job. I have reached out to Indeed for help. My comments to Indeed have been respectful. The Indeed staffer said they would work on the problem but if I was dissatisfied I could always block Indeed on my computer. AI is a great asset but it is not a replacement for human input. An Indeed staffer could use rubrics to refine the AI prompt to limit the AI search to jobs that do not require a law licenses in a state other than Connecticut. An Indeed staffer should review every potential job to see if it matches my resume, before they send it to me. Indeed has the capacity to do a better job.

I've been a loyal customer for over 16 years with woods market. Every employee has been respectful and very friendly. Yesterday on dec 23 I went into the liquor dept to make a purchase. The new manager right away asked me for my lD / driver's license. I presented it him. I am currently 60 yrs old. Most of the employees know my nephew. He is my ride to and from the market. Well after I presented my id the manager turned to my nephew and very rudely and loudly ask him for his id then the manager started to lie to my face by saying it's a Missouri law that employees ask any and all customers who are with anyone else to show and check their ids. He refused me service. I'm not planning on spending any more of my money there and I will spread it to my friends and their friends that woods market racial profiles its Reliable customers.

Nothing on here aligns with what I'm looking for. Every job I see is so far off. It makes me wonder if this site even listens to me. I've had little to no success with finding a job on here for over 4 years.

I posted a job on Indeed with a budget of $29/Day. Posed after 3 days. I received an invoice for $145. When called them to explain the charges they said that I changed the daily budget to $48/day which is a lie. I did not touch the ad after I post it with them until I paused it. They are so deceptive and try to rob you in any way they can.

I only get scam applications through Indeed. Never do any corporate companies get in contact with me about my skills. I wouldn’t recommend this company to give you the chance to be hired with any luck.

Indeed, the job search website, is a fraudulent company that is engaged in data harvesting at the expense of individuals thinking they are searching for jobs. Most of these supposed jobs don't actually exist, but are being used to gain engagement to the site and acquire people's information. Companies, such as Mercor, are engaged on the indeed website to attract people to what they think are jobs they are applying to, but instead, Mercor and others, are using the video interviews people think they are interviewing for a job for, to then take the video interviews and sell them to Mercor so they can then use them to train AI models. So, the jobs that job seekers are applying to do not actually exist, but people hired by Mercor are video interviewing people for these fake jobs so that they can use the video interview to make money by selling them to Mercor or other similar companies all while job seeker think they are applying to actual jobs.

Where to begin? The year-over-year increase in the cost of the recruitment package options is ridiculous! In the past, you could choose between standard or professional based on your hiring needs and switch month to month without losing access to your paid contacts. Now, if you change packages, you lose access to any contacts you have. I was told that you are not paying for contacts but rather for the package seat. That makes ZERO sense. Why would anyone pay for these packages and not be able to contact candidates or view resumes? That’s why they give you outreach contacts. Therefore, you ARE paying for your contacts, and you should not lose access to them just by switching between standard and professional.

I paid over $500 to get one candidate (if you could even call him that). Long Story short, I would NOT use this Company again. All they worry about is their $. They couldn't care less about anything else. Very unsatisfied INDEED!

Applied for a job and selected "keep my resume private". The next day, I was terminated from my current job and another employer reached out to me, saying my resume was posted on Indeed and was public. Contact indeed tech support - they do not confirm or deny the event and are not doing anything to rectify the problem - however I lost my job.

Scamdeed is a joke, tried to give an honest review about a company I worked for and they rejected it. What a bunch of dirtbags, and hey Scamdeed save your BS response. This company is the worst. It's nothing but a bunch of bull crap.

To whom may concern. Since 2020, this site has been wasting your time. They track you based on your race. Many incompetent employers, and even worse companies, pay you less than you deserve and offer low ethical standards in ILL. Every company that hires based on discrimination will face your back, including the companies that support your low ethics. Companies are politically retaliating against their employees. No wonder businesses in this state are closing. Jobs should be supported and fair and effective measures should be taken to increase employment. Companies support employees who speak politically and act aggressively, regardless of their race or ethnicity. These losers companies will hire you based on your race or ethnicity.

This site is useless. I submitted several applications through Indeed and when I found a job not using indeed I withdrew all the application. I submitted and close my account. I still got notifications and emails from jobs I had withdrawn my applications from so apparently this site is just garbage and misleading!

I was so excited to land my lead position almost one year ago. The problem is I have not been able to do lead work and the manager is holding back on me. He doesn't even let me run the crew at all. I was just now a year later introduced to an app that was never shown to me. Once I set my app up, I realize it says in their sheet metal journeymen, which yes I am, but that's not the title I applied for. I know dang well that I saved the job ad and I also let Indeed know that I was interviewed and hired.

Real bad service. They send you a message that you probably got hired but do not respond after that. Get your hopes up for no reason. It’s fake a scam. Customer service does not pick up the call. They care about the client or about the company not the person getting hired.

What a callosal waste of money and time. I tried the "Premium" service for $80 per day to post my job and invite candidates and zero candidates apply. In fact, as I reviewed the candidates to invite, they started to repeat the same candidates I had previously passed on earlier in my scrolling of the candidate's list (essentially they recycled the old candidates and relisted them later in the list of possible candidates). There were candidates they said were a match to my job description that had not updated their resumes (or worked) for several years. Are these people even still looking for jobs or are their resumes just active on Indeed with no real intent of looking for a job? I had an Indeed representative (Ashley) reach out to me to try to upsell me on services. When I called her back asking for her help, she never returned my call. Poor Customer service. I am not sure of a better place to post jobs, but Indeed is not helpful. And, it's overpriced with poor results.

We are Class A Jobs 411 (MMB Transportation LLC), a woman-owned, service-disabled veteran small business that has operated as a contingency CDL driver recruiting firm for 12+ years. We use Indeed’s paid and free postings. In 2025 our account was suddenly “tagged/flagged” without a clear reason. On Sept 20, 2025, support agent “Quennie Cindy P.” said she would explain why, but provided no policy citation, evidence, or remediation steps. I was told to download the chat transcript (“Request Chat Transcript”), which I did. We believe our account is being restricted because we are a contingency recruiting business, while large direct-hire employers receive preferential treatment. This effectively discriminates against a certified woman-owned, service-disabled veteran small business and harms our ability to compete after more than a decade of compliant use and paid spend.

Indeed is great for job searching. The issue is location! The jobs are not correct for location ever! Kitchener is NOT Stratford, NOT Brandt, NOT Guelph!!! Anything outside of Kitchener Waterloo bussing and ion reach is NOT KITCHENER WATERLOO. MOST PEOPLE NEED LOCAL, NOT OTHER CITIES ADVERTISED AS LOCAL! If so they will search that city! If I put KW, I don't want Toronto, Brandt, Guelph, etc... I want KW!

I had a very positive search for job, multiple times, on Indeed. I found My current position on Indeed, and I had another position lined up, that I also found on Indeed. I usually apply directly on the company’s website. I will definitely use Indeed when I’m looking for a job.

Posted a job, like many times in the past, but this time I wanted to use the On the Road, not at the same office everyday and in Florida. Post was "Flagged". NO reason given, NO notification in email and NO message in Indeed. This was flagged for days without me knowing. Two chat sessions (one cancelled after 2 minutes of inactivity) and a phone call and the job was never Open, after being told the Trust and Security dept was notified. I had to change the job and it got posted. Today I learned I cannot see our job, unless I'm logged in to Indeed to search for jobs. Told over the phone, the Company page was not "Claimed". I claimed the page. It takes 24-48 hours for approval. Indeed is slow to act, they don't follow up with phone calls, they don't explain the process and they don't provide information that could have saved me days and lots of frustration. I don't feel I got value after paying for a sponsored job.
