Indeed Reviews

I guarantee I won't get a response from them, but here goes. I used to like Indeed for their reliability and quality of jobs, until recently. Like the last 3 years. They use absolutely NOTHING but bots, now. No one reads your resume, no one calls or messages you back when applying. And when they do, IF they do, it's a turndown. Now, my resume is more than worthy of a simple reply. But, why would I, when it's bots reading it? Bots looking for "keywords" and if they don't find those words, then you might as well not exist.

Me and my daughter have tried several times to use indeed for job search, in hopes of finding better opportunities. Not one time have we ever heard back from any employer, why? I believe people in charge are being discriminatory, and help their own family and friends before they help anyone else. We will NOT use their fake services again.

I attempted to use Indeed to hire an employee. After the excessive setup and completing the account verification, everything seemed to be going fine. I reviewed the applications that were coming in and began to schedule interviews. Suddenly, my account was locked and I received a message that I need to verify the account again. I could not access messages or resumes that were received. I had appointments scheduled and ongoing message threads with candidates. I submitted the information that was requested and answered all of the questions to have the account unlocked.

I have used Indeed in the past to find jobs and review past jobs honestly to let others know what I experienced at that company. Unfortunately starting in the year 2023, indeed has been rejecting my reviews. From my experience it seems that they are trying to help the companies by either rejecting bad reviews or manipulating them. The problem with this practice is that it will make indeed and the other companies that get these reviews look bad. Trust is earned not given away, if indeed can't handle honest reviews, then they need to be passed by and other recruitment websites should be used. Indeed, needs to stop saying their practice speeches and realize this is hurting their reputation badly. Good luck to everyone out there looking for a job.

I reserve one-star reviews for rip-off companies. Indeed will steal from you. They have several ways of getting your money and giving nothing in return. I have been in a 4-month battle with them to stop charging our company to advertise since we have no open positions. They are difficult to work with and will tell you that they have cancelled but in fact, the charge will show up again on your statement. The company seems to be run by thieves and liars. It is really disgusting that the customer support people are in on the scam. These are individuals lying over the phone saying they are solving the problem till they get you off the phone.

Indeed you are a complete JOKE!!! I've been using Indeed since I got out of high school. It's been ok for the most part. A few things that are noticed on Indeed from my POV are the amount of dumb questions Indeed ask you for your whole profile page. Indeed has started to just suck overall. It's started for me in May of 2024. Indeed needs to fix a lot of stuff. Job listings that are 50/50 meaning half are real half are fake. Another is employers posting these listings and when you apply for a job they take 2-3 weeks to even get back with you. I've had TONS of employers just not get back with me.

Indeed is supposed to be a site where employees and former employees can review their experience working for an employer among other things. I wrote an honest account of my time working for Clean Harbors Environmental Services. My comments centered on the negative consequences of the blatant nepotism within the company structure. I wrote a professional commentary that was free from profanity and yet my review was removed without given me a reason why or even informing me of the removal. Indeed essentially replaced my review with a 5 star company review with the title “great job,” with a comment “featured review: Clean Harbors has selected this as a representative review.”

I've noticed that almost all the jobs that are on Indeed have fake wages. I have massive work experience. Over 20 years. The wages are from $30 to $45. However I was offered $32. I think they use fake wages to lure employees. Indeed needs to make sure wages are legitimate. I'm gonna warn people of this ploy by employers on Indeed.

This site is a waste of time. Time passes and no matter how many resumes you make, there is always a word missing or a lack of experience. I invested in courses to reduce the gap and invest in myself, but I can't use them because I have no experience. The jobs that exist don't give opportunities to those who don't have experience. With Indeed, there are only part-time jobs or jobs with a minimum salary and they require 3 years of experience and often without any benefits.

Indeed has "moderators" that read your review and decide whether it can be posted or not. I have written 3 reviews on companies that were bogus after I interviewed with them. I posted FACTS, did not post any of their personal information, no names, nothing! The worthless "moderators" who are no doubt haters of freedom of speech, block negative reviews for certain companies. What a censoring joke of a company. How you you trust any reviews, when you know Indeed has people deciding they don't like what you say, and deleting it?

How is it fair to anyone that's not Mexican to require them to know Spanish to apply for jobs in America? Every other application I see on Indeed says "Spanish required" but this is not Mexico? I don't see how this isn't a clear discrepancy?

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!!!

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.

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.

Forcing you to sign into an account and give them your info to do ANYTHING. Want to scroll down? Sign in first. Want to see the website this came from? Sign in first. Couldn't even use it properly because of how crap the site is and how bad it wants to dig at your info.

I suggest a job seeker NEVER Publicly post on Indeed, CareerBuilder, Monster, ZipRecuriter. NEVER Check Remote work. I have been on Indeed for several years. It is Phishing site for Foreign Recruiters and Scam Recruiters to grab personal information or submit your resume for a job position to squeeze you out of the position. Indeed and the Employment Test! What a money scam. Good Luck, Several of these websites years ago were a good way to find a employment. NOT ANY MORE. They are scam/money & personal highjack sites.

I have put in over 120 job applications on indeed over two month time frame, and still no job, 99.9% of employers never respond, maybe Indeed just isn't sending the info to employers, indeed is awful.

Revenue source exclusively with company's recruitment of experienced qualified professionals. This bodes well for Indeed and companies advertising but the quality and validity of legitimate positions that are even remotely communicating with the candidates is practically nil and there is no CS within Indeed other than a possible irrelevant email.

They have non-transparent billing practices and they rip you off. You pay for a monthly subscription to post your job and then they charge you by the click. Not by the applicant, but every time someone clicks your ad. This results in hundreds of clicks and maybe a dozen applicants that don't even meet our minimum requirements. You used to be able to reject bad applicants within 3 days to avoid being charged, now they just charge you every time someone clicks your ad. Who is to say that they aren't having bots click it to drive up your price? I paid $120 for a monthly subscription and then 10 days later was charged $377 for clicks. And to make it worse, not a single person who clicked our ad apparently had the minimum skills required. Never posting with them again.

We hired 3 candidates and they never showed, then the background check on the 4 was a child sex offender. Complete waste of my time and money! NEVER use Indeed! They charge by click and I'm sure they have someone sitting at a computer clicking the jobs. Because there were no candidates that are qualified.

We opened an account to hire with Indeed and after paying for the service and receiving about 2000 applicants for the position, Indeed paused our account (stating we had not submitted documentation, which we had). They kept me on the phone for about 30 mins refusing to put me on with a manager and stated we would have to waste more time filing an appeals process. We have already received names and numbers from the applicants and are reporting them to our bank as a fraudulent service. If you want free applicants and don't mind dealing with idiots, use their service. Otherwise they are a waste of time and now I understand why they only have a 2 star rating.

For job seekers/candidates, Indeed is a complete waste of time! And the main reasons (as there are many more) are as follows:

The site keeps showing jobs I don't have much interest in, low paying or no education labor jobs and also posts by poor quality companies. You can search what you want then you may get random out of town posts not even anywhere close to your area! Also it's obvious they don't value or want honest reviews because they will 'reject' those if they are in any way. Why bother asking for a review then hilarious so much for posting HONEST reviews. I think it's time to try a different website and after reading about what they are doing I'm tired of Indeed wasting my time!

I am enraged by the sheer audacity of Indeed.com! They have shamelessly resorted to using bots instead of actual human beings to apply for job postings. This unethical practice undermines the entire purpose of a job-seeking platform by flooding employers with bots who apply to our job posts just so they can bill us. The candidates/bots never show up for interviews yet Indeed bills us. And let's talk about the few who actually show up for interviews - utterly unqualified! It's as if Indeed is playing a cruel joke on both employers and job seekers. Their deceptive practices lead to wasted time and false hopes for those genuinely seeking meaningful employment.
