Indeed Reviews

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.

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.

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.

Tried to search for a part time position and no matter what I put in, I got results for full time positions in the mix and have to spend time sifting through the results and that should done when I select part time. I will delete my account and use another provider.

I have noticed that Indeed does not fulfill its discrimination policy and that employers are rejecting me for jobs because of my skin color. I have found indeed useful and have even found a job with using indeed but the jobs I am offered are very few jobs. For the month of June of 2025 until now I have been looking for a job on indeed but found none.

Indeed has poor customer service, total lack of concern to actually try and address an issue. Up until a week ago I could go onto their site and filter jobs by industry. No longer. What had been taking me 15-20 minutes now takes multiple hours. You spend countless time having to manually sort through hundreds to at times thousands of non-relevant posting trying to find the ones that I had been able to pull up in seconds. Reached out to customer service and the ** just keeps telling me that it's not their issue, that filtering by industry is dictated by individual companies. What a crock of bull**. Customer Service at Indeed is just a bunch of incompetent ** just drawing a paycheck for no real work.

Terrible job search app. The only thing that ever got back to me was a scam. I contacted the actual company and they said to me they don't even use Indeed to get back when recruiting. So pointless. Don't waste your time.

So many fake postings. It's impossible to get a job on this website these days. Out of 200 applications I submitted (I have a good work history), I'd only heard back from ten; most of which I was overqualified for. Of those ten I'd only been offered 3 interviews. Would never recommend this website.

I have a company in Vermont and created an employer account on Indeed sometime last month. It was somehow connected to 17 reviews, all from Texas, Illinois, Minnesota and one from New York with dates ranging from 2019 to 2024. It's very simple to Google the name of the company in these states and find out that they also have companies with the same name. These reviews are obviously not about my business in Vermont, they are about the businesses in the states that they live in. I spoke with someone over the phone for quite a while, trying to rectify the situation. I had her send me an email covering our conversation as well as a request to have the reviews deleted or just not attached to my company.

Indeed is currently a very poor job search website. They post the same jobs over and over again when you forward to the next page when viewing by date. Indeed used to be a number 1 website for jobs, however they have not kept up with the changing times. Fewer companies are using Indeed.

I have had the most difficult time paying an invoice. Back in March 2025 they removed my job posting due to some technicalities and when I got an email to pay my invoice I couldn't even access my account to pay it. Fast forward to a few weeks ago when I spoke to an agent on chat they were able to somehow enable the ability for me to update billing and pay. Well, lo and behold I have used multiple different cards to make payment and each time it tells me my card is declined. Lol I spoke to a lady today after I was told to call and they would help. Well that's not what happened. She wanted to submit another ticket. Lol I have more tickets opened on Indeed to try to give them my money.

In my experience using Indeed, I have found that it implies that employers have created the job postings you are looking at. However, their job listings are scraped off of other websites, they have AI constantly searching through internal job boards (for example jimmyjohns.com) So when JJ's posts a job listing it gets automatically pulled over to indeed. I don't understand how these companies are supposed to know that they have to check indeed for resumes rather than their own internal job boards. So, here is the real kick: For some reason, the information is not completely transferred over, it appears to leave out strings that match "Apply Within" or "In Person Applications Only". Those very important notes will be removed from the original posting by indeed, whether purposefully or otherwise, I do not know. I highly recommend using indeed to search, but not to apply.

You put in a job request and get everything but what you're looking for. Look for senior jobs and all you get is medical and retirement homes. Even when you specify what you're looking for. I need jobs for someone over 70 not nursing jobs.

Indeed does not thoroughly research jobs they post. I have been sent multiple scam jobs and bait and switch jobs from indeed. They also ignore your preferences and feedback. I have provide indeed the same feed back at least 50 times and and they continue to ignore my preferences and have never replied once. I feel like they only email spencer jobs that companies pay for and they do not care about your preferences.

Yet another 1-star review... The invoice practice are DECEITFUL. The first partial month, I received an invoice. There was mention that if you did nothing, your credit card would be charged ... only an address to remit a check to. So I sent them a check. Two days later, my credit card was charged. I sent an email, waited a week for the request to trickle down to accounting and then waited two weeks for the refund to be posted to my card. THEN, the second month... for 6 days, (although I think it was either 4 or 5) I was charged "an average of $44", which should come to $264, except I was charged $296. I called them. The agent and his supervisor were condescending, explaining that some days were more, some days less, and an average is somewhere in between (I have a doctorate degree...). And simply deflected my questions on how the math came. So... this is my only recourse. And never plan to use them again.

Indeed keeps sending jobs out of my region/travel area and does not match my skills or education. I have even updated my information to ensure it's correct, yet still receive requests to apply for jobs that are not close to my travel area. Plus when I search for a job and find one I like it immediately states the position is closed. However, if I go to the actual Company site for that position they are still hiring.

I have applied for many positions using Indeed site, as an IT professional seeking part/full time employed either in my career field or retail or customer service industry. In my opinion there not much good I can say about indeed.

Jobs that are posted doesn’t notify job seekers. Too many job listings that are out of state. I gave several feedbacks to Indeed.com about posting out of state jobs and jobs that I don’t qualify for but they continue to post these jobs. I have it saved commute distance for 25 miles and they give me an hour distance jobs. I don’t recommend anyone to search for jobs at this site.

I am a consultant so I essentially interview for a living. I just experienced the crappiest 'interview' on Indeed for a job with the same project mgmt title as I have now - only to realize it was actually for a warehouse fulfillment job! The tech mgr conducting it was taking notes the whole time, but also never made an effort to look at me on camera or make any sense of connection. He abruptly cut me off at minute 13 of a 15 minute interview. I asked if I could ask questions to only be told only if they/HR deemed me a fit (for the bait and switch job). I then said thank you and disconnected him, and promptly received the 'not selected by employer' message. I did report this posting on multiple sites - so why is it allowed to remain up?

I have been using this company for many years for my small business. I just closed down my account after being rejected with no reason for smart sourcing as well as had an ad going for 1 week in January. Only to be charged a full month as in 30 days for a 7 day run. NOT user friendly for a small business and this was after talking to a being guided by representatives. All in all a huge expense, time waster as I spent much time on the phone and then to be charged so much and not get any leads. I will be using Zip Recruiter for my future needs.

Indeed is not worth it. Don't like it all, the jobs that are offered are terrible. I had better experience looking on other platforms. They have the same jobs posted. It never updated jobs. They need more support.

They seem to have a lot of ghost job postings. When you apply to them - With having all the qualifications on the job posting, but when you apply through Indeed, you get an instant rejection, but the job is never filled even after 6 months. Although, we you don't go through Indeed and apply directly to the employer's website, you get an interview and the Employer said "We never got to review your resume, if we did we would have never rejected your application!" It's Indeed's ATS system that rejects you most of the time, even for a simple gap in employment date, or 1st time employment seekers, etc.

This is an employee owned company that truly cares about their employees. If you are a person that focuses on teamwork and open communication make sure you visit today and apply!!! Great leadership that truly cares about each person who works!

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.
