Indeed Reviews

I post employer positions to this website and find it very easy/user friendly. They also do basic posting for free and offer a paid posting if you want super visibility. They get postings on their website quickly. When 'looking' for jobs they need to improve, as the key search words and city should be more intuitive (i.e., when you put in 'secretary' you should get ALL clerical type postings).

I have used this job search site several times and always find it to be the search site that works the best for my needs. Not only are the jobs updated frequently, you can update your resume easily. It notifies you of jobs and new posts for jobs.

Indeed offers a wide selection of job categories, communication selection, and free job services. I particularly like the job services that including help writing cover letters, interviewing, and resumes.

Indeed is indeed extremely greedy and unprofessional. They have harassed me about 2 years, every time I try to post a job for any intern. They are desperate for money. Use Craigslist. I have a lot of responsibilities and my own company and don't need Indeed telling me I am banned for placing a ad for an intern.

Personal I love this website, is easy, trusting, and fast. All my jobs I got is always thru Indeed, I recommend to everyone. Every time I see a person looking for a job I tell them go to indeed and you will find it faster.

Feed in the detailed information and Indeed will zero in on jobs that meet your qualifications, distance, right in your area, full or part time and instructions for applying. They list several possible positions and give all pertinent information an applicant needs in order to apply.

Indeed is an important and excellent job search site, job board, website. I have been using it for at least 3 years and running now. It offers me a great deal of latitude and alternatives for searching various fields or industries, I.E. Employment areas and commensurate options when I am looking for employment. I have 5 degrees in 5 different areas and so I need diversified searches. The varieties of potential jobs in a area or field is excellent when using indeed. I have recommend it to many people looking for employment in many career fields and either full and part time hours.

This site is truly a scam, yes SCAM. You post a job for your company, and the only way you can review resumes is one - the applicant applies, or two you have to pay a minimum of $100/per month to review resumes? And you are only allowed 30 LOL??? Are you kidding me?? That is a true scam and I will never endorse their business practices at Indeed. Additionally, they allow people that don't even match the criteria of the posted job to apply, even with the key search words in place. It is definitely not worth the no matter what. "Stay Away!"

They keep improving and adding search filters to make it easier to find a job. Not just stockpiling a bunch of listings based off of 1 similar word. You can add edit and even print a resume directly from your account as well.

I am a retired school teacher, but since retiring in 2011, I have looked for part-time jobs just to add a little extra income to my teacher retirement (which just barely covers my bills and leaves nothing for anything else.) I have found three different jobs through Indeed. I found a job at a discount store, an assistant teacher's job, and a job at an eye care center. All were half-day jobs with average incomes that filled the gap I was looking for. The discount store was a seasonal job at Christmas, but the other two were long term jobs that I kept for a few years each. Indeed gives you a very good description of the jobs and makes it easy to apply. I found that I can completely trust the reliability of Indeed.

Indeed will help you get apply for the job you are looking for. It also has reviews from employees that work or used to work there. At times if you are not careful there are scams from people who post jobs. Indeed are aware of that and when you report it they will handle it from there. I love using indeed. As a matter of fact, I'm searching for a job now!

Indeed is a really efficient website for finding a job locally. There’s search filters to help find a job in a certain area, if it’s part-time or full-time, and even specific types of jobs. Once the criteria is in place, job-seekers can search through recent and older job listings. Many of the listings are able to be responded to, and response is sent directly to the employer.

Indeed is the main job search site I use. I like its simplicity. Yet it is robust in bringing up similar jobs related to my keyword search. I like that companies have reviews, and that I can leave a review if I would like. I can upload my resume and apply through Indeed, or I can go directly to the company's website.

I love Indeed because it has an versatile app and is easy to navigate- it's very user friendly and I love that I can do different searches and then have the results sent to me. I also love that I can create and then download my resume straight from the app and the hints are also helpful. There are so many jobs listed there that I feel that it's a reliable source and will have real-time results for jobs hiring now.

Indeed finds the majority of jobs I am looking for, but it is annoying when you see the same job repeated several times in the same search. Many advertisers, I believe, attempt to use that to their advantage to get users to notice the job offer they have. I feel the advertiser is being desperate and making themselves look foolish.

I'm not a big fan of their Resume Creation tool. I've tried it and the formatting always looks strange, so I end up uploading a resume. I do like that I can sort by date and distance. I also use this website because I like the functionality where I can view more details in a section to the right of all the listings instead of a separate page.

It’s been a imperative part of my job searching and really became a part of daily life until I found a job that I wanted. Numerous search possibilities for jobs and areas of employment. Good resume starter and There are assessments that can be taken and added to resume.

I have used Indeed and have had success in finding employment. This site allows you to search for any type of employment either with or without a recruiter. It will also allow you to see what employees think about the company in various locations in which the company has offices.

You can apply directly with companies in one click. And you cAn see pay, benefits such as health, dental & vision. 401K plans. Also gives gives job description and description of job. Hours and days of work.

My only disappoint with Indeed is even when I put location or miles willing to drive it shows that are not even in that vicinity. I like the notifications. And the fact that you can share job info to friends who too are needing a job. Making it easy for them to apply.

The only problem I found with Indeed is that they say there is jobs in your area that posted the same day, but when you go to the company actual site. They have no jobs that are within 250 miles of your area.

I use the site and it has a lot of good resources. Sometimes they duplicate some job postings but is good overall. I do like the “easy apply” feature that sends your resume automatically. I would recommend it.

If you have ever taken an Indeed assessment you will be familiar with what I am talking about. The format of the questions takes some getting used to and (unless you are lucky) you will do poorly on this timed, stressful, poorly constructed selection tool. About half way through the test you will become familiar with the way the questions are presented. In my case, at this point I breezed through the rest of the test... but too late! The overall results were poor with no opportunity to retake. I consider this a process fraught with error and an extremely poor predictor of success in any position.

Used to work as an Employment Program Specialist for the State of California (for 15 years). Discovered Indeed.com long ago and always recommended it to clients. It has just consistently gotten better over time. When the Department of Labor discontinued its America's Job Bank, maybe 15 years ago, I even contacted the folks at Indeed to inquire about taking over for AJB, but at the time they didn't seem to appreciate the potential.

I always use Indeed when I begin a job search. I've gotten multiple jobs that have been amazing opportunities for me, and I know I can trust the job postings on Indeed. It is also very user friendly and has a lot of very useful search tools. I've worked as a recruiting intern as well, and we constantly used Indeed to source resumes, so I know first-hand that employers love this search tool.

It’s easy to navigate for positions, searching for different cities or locations. There are pretty accurate job descriptions. Some challenges are that sometimes the search isn’t accurate and will populate jobs in different provinces. Mostly a great resource. I have been hired through Indeed.

Indeed.com has a great website. I love the option to be notified of new jobs posted for a particular career field. Job results from specific searches are not always applicable to the search terms. The company reviews from other Indeed users are also a tremendous resource.

Indeed makes applying simple, one click apply with current resume previously uploaded. Other job search sites have you populate there database, upon finding a match (often from Indeed) redirect you to populate another database to apply, that is if you can escape the advertisements; Extended Education, Labor Attorneys, Health Insurance, Etc... and they sell your info for spam advertisements. Indeed, 1 click to apply for a matched job.

The experience is great for a job search engine, however after applying I more often than not get no response from the companies that decline my application. It's like falling into the deep dark job search on the internet.

As long as you put in the parameters of the job you are seeking, Indeed.com sends as many job opportunities as possible. Then it's up to you to apply for whatever you feel is a good fit for you. The only complaint I have about this website is that there are also what I feel to be "scam" jobs listed. Again, however, it's up to you to sort through the positions you are sent on a daily basis.

Indeed posts job announcements and allow job seekers to conveniently type on site a cover letter. I like to follow organizations of interest. I have never experienced a rep to contact me about my application being reviewed or to offer supportive options. What I like best is the ability to navigate their system to locate job possibilities by typing in various words to search job responsibilities to see availabilities. The site is easy to navigate. The lack of rep support has been obvious.

I have had several job prospects from using this Indeed.com. Other than sometimes the matches are not relevant to what I am looking for, and the duplicate emails for the same jobs, I would recommend them.

This job search engine is for medical personnel, not only is this where I found two part-time jobs, but also useful to compare salaries across the country. It is easy to use comprehensive for part-time, full-time nurses, medical assistants, coders, nursing assistants and Allied health professionals.

Indeed allowed me to customize my search from city area within that city to the payscale or type of job or both. It also allowed me to read the reviews that were posted on the web through Glassdoor, LinkedIn or what was found on the web. I enjoy the updates that are sent to me and the ability to store multiple resumes and cover letters.

I just have to say that Adrian ** is Amazing!! He is so nice! Polite!! Great customer service!!! I could not be happier with his customer service!!! He explains everything in perfect detail! He deserves recognition for his customer service!

The ability to set up different search agents for different types of jobs. You can also update your resume right on the website without having to download another one. Easy website to navigate and look for what you want.

I like Indeed but I have two major complaints. One is the testing. I have taken all the required test and passed them with good grades but when I apply for another job sometimes I need to take the same test over and over again. I googled and it says to elect to SHOW your test results to FUTURE employers and I turned that notice ON. However, I am still asked to take the same test over again. Second the sight sends me jobs Openings by emails that I have not asked for them to send or I have never even searched for those jobs in the past. Regardless of the fact I have saved my email alerts under accountant. One last thing I wished indeed would only send me remote part time jobs under my saved email alerts but they do not.

Lots of job options available daily, weekly, monthly notices. Targeted alerts. Reviews and more. What more can I say. It been around for some time and offers great opportunity especially for people omg. It’s amazing to see all the jobs and select those you want daily.

Easy to navigate. I especially like the 'quick apply' feature that you can utilize, once you have saved a resume on the site. That is another feature that they offer ~ writing & saving a resume directly in their system that you can download, and print for offline use.

Indeed is the best career source when searching for a new job! It gathers tons of jobs from other websites and sources and puts them all in one place! It’s important to still do your searches other places, but if I were looking for a new job I would hands down search Indeed first.

Indeed is a good source for job seekers in all fields whether you are just starting out or are experienced. The site stays current and allows the user to fine tune searches. It provides resume design and research tools. Offers some background on employers.

They have a good service where you can narrow down jobs much easier. You are able to set it up how often you would prefer updates whether it be daily, weekly or monthly. You can also keep your site information but put it on hold.

Despite finding Indeed to be superior in terms of the quantity of job listings, I never did find employment from using it. I believe that was due to my looking for a part-time position and my not having sufficient technological skills. For example, I had worked as a medical assistant/receptionist for nearly eight years (that was my last job) and I assumed I'd be able to find a similar position easily. Wrong! The doctor I worked for refused to use electronic records so I had no skills in that area. Most every other medical practice required someone familiar with medical record keeping and that seemed to make me automatically unsuited. I can't blame Indeed for that because they did have numerous jobs that were listed and seemed promising. I just didn't have the right skills.

Great search site! Truly easy to use, very straightforward. Prefer as one of two sites that - what you see is what you get - very detailed job descriptions, as well as the ability to get answers to questions you may have as eliminators ie salary ranges, etc.

Indeed has always been my Go-to site. I get good search results, I get notifications when job has looked at application and how many times, they notify me of emails etc. It is so easy that once my info is in the computer I can literally pump out hundreds of applications!

Indeed now makes you take these tests that are completely irrelevant to the job you're applying for and purposely degrades your chances of getting a job offer. I think the test improperly weeds out excellent candidates and makes it really unfair for people especially when the person is more than qualified for the position.

I've completed a few skills-based assessments and some I have scored high. However, there are some skills-based assessments that I feel are wrongly worded and subjective. This is especially true with assessments dealing with people, relationships, interpersonal, sales, etc., that lacks situational context from some poorly worded questions and answers. And even worse, after completing the test you aren't allowed to view the questions you got "wrong."

I am a small business owner and I have twice created profile for hiring talent. I am dedicated in responding to candidates and making sure I am professional in my communication. Yet twice my profile has been blocked by Indeed and the responses I get are auto generated. On filling appeal details I get another auto generated response in few minutes on rejection with no detail on what was wrong or the rejecting reason. If only there were other options I would never go to indeed for my hiring needs

The assessments are hysterical. I have not only owned and been very successful in one of the most difficult businesses to succeed (full service restaurant), but have had consulting businesses that have also been wildly successful. Along comes Indeed (and some assessments thought of by pencil pushers) and they feel in order for you to be "qualified", an 8 minute assessment will determine if your resume gets viewed. Lol...never mind the irrefutable tangible documented track record of success I have, an 8 minute assessment (if poorly scored on) will now stop an employer from seeing your resume and hard concrete proof of your successes...you've been screened out. I know Indeed will say they are not part of the hiring process, but you ARE! Your company determined and implemented these assessments for an employer to use in MAKING A DECISION, before they have even seen your resume! PATHETIC!

I attempted to post a job on Indeed for a licensed insurance agent. I filled out all of the required information, and completed it. Shortly after I received an email stating it would not be posted as it did not meet their standards and that I could appeal the decision. I then appealed the decision and gave them additional information to include website my phone number etc. I was told again that it would not be posted and I was disabled and not allowed to post any other job ads. Later that evening I received an email stating someone had applied, upon opening it I got a notice that my account was disabled. The next morning I received an email from Indeed attempting to persuade me to purchase additional services for my ad they would not post.

Major pet peeve: Even though I've completed three related assessments and scored Highly Proficient on all, essentially every time I apply for a new job, I'm asked to complete the assessment(s) again. Stop!

Don't use Indeed.com to apply for jobs. It is a company that is being used by its clients to kill your job applications. My experiences with Indeed was terrible. They've constantly sent job rejection emails to me for whatever jobs I applied for within the past one year. They worked alone with their financial clients to track and kill my job applications. Don't use Indeed if you messed up relationship with any of their clients. Save your time and apply for your jobs at other places.

Does anybody really get a job that's advertised on Indeed? I have applied for hundreds and not one interview. I am experiencing in my job but no job offers. Are these fake jobs that they advertised or not.

Recently I had the most disturbing experience with Indeed. I have had an account with indeed for quite some time.. It was time for me to start searching for jobs again so when I updated my resume I put my email address but I also notice they had one box for an employer contact email address which in which I put a different email address. Well I wanted to go and change the employer contact address to match my email address I had on my resume.... That when thing went "haywire". I noticed when I tried to edit it, it would not let me so I tried to reach out to indeed via email.. They gave me instruction but these instructions did not work.

Trying to find a legitimate job. The only callbacks are people trying to scam your email address. Ugh!!!! Half the job is the administrative field are bogus. Mostly ending with INc or Ltd. It’s ridiculous.

There's good on this site to a point. Too often, the format changes: the few filters/info. is down the side or across the top where I can't change things without having to go back a page. There's an X but it will not clear. A few times across the top there were little boxes that provided some "advanced" search (e.g. this computer appl. was needed or phys. req. in lbs.) but this is not standard.

I have been told to look on Indeed from all aspects of education from high school to college. However, after looking through jobs and finally finding one I liked. I have been scammed, confidential information stolen and no job prospect. After realizing it took one call to find out it was a scam, one call to the phone number the scammers listed. So disappointing, if Indeed can please contact me, I will tell them in full detail what happened. Everyone please remember: TALK TO SOMEONE BEFORE SENDING PERSONAL INFORMATION.

The website of Indeed.com is awful. Several times trying to complete and send a resume to a employer and several times it will not accept my information. Better off contacting the individual company and bypassing Indeed all together if you can. This is not right for a employment agency.

Great platform from both a job seeker and employer perspective. Site is easy to use and the support has been great! I had an issue with getting my job to show up in their search results and was able to quickly contact their support team to make sure the account was re-enabled. Their team was quick to respond to my request and I was able to hire a candidate off their site!

No matter what experience I state is required I constantly have "baby sitters" applying for my kitchen manager position as well as many people who don't even live in Canada applying for the position. The ones that do apply with a name I can read tend to not show up for interview. Really starting to question how many of the resumes are real and how many are created by Indeed. Oh, did I mention they charge me money for these resumes from people who don't even have Canadian citizenship and are applying from Africa. This site is suck a fraudulent scam from what I can tell. 1 out of 100 might actually be a person in the country that shows up. Moving onto Zip Recruiter. Heard positive things about them and all the stuff I hear about Indeed matches my experiences. Except for those review that were clearly written by Indeed.

I continue to receive job postings for the company Sofina but checking the website for that specific company there are no jobs being offered. I suspect Indeed recycles old postings. It's a waste of my time and effort.

After being hired for a new position, I was tasked with interviewing and hiring a team. Indeed has made that EXTREMELY difficult to do. So I am using another service and I am pleased so far. My recommendation: be ready to show tax forms and confidential company information just to find resumes.

Indeed does not allow employees to post about their negative experiences with their current or former employers. They say that you cannot post, no matter how truthful, any illegal or immoral behaviors of companies on Indeed. You can post positive stuff all day long, but never a detailed negative review, no matter how spot on the review happens to be.

After we leave a job posting on indeed.com they change and take off features that were promised in the first place. Misleading wording on their job site. They don’t even email you after they have made changes to your job posting. I’ve called customer support to ask them why we weren’t notified of changes on our job listing and of course they do not have an answer for us. Misleading listed information on their website.

First, they create a NEW company page every time you list a job. Then, if someone posts a review about working at your company, you can't respond to the review (I tried and even Indeed customer service couldn't figure out why I was unable to respond to a review about our company). They allow literally ANYONE to post a review about supposedly working for a company with little to no accountability to determine whether the person actually works there or ever did. So, basically, Indeed allows someone to slander a company, say they are a current employee, and not permit the employer to respond to a negative review, even if it is from ANYONE (like the competition) regardless of whether they work for you or not. VERY shameful "business" practices.

I was interviewed buy a recruiter from Indeed app. He told me he would send over paperwork the following week which was a holiday week. I was applying for a job in the jail system in Sacramento as an X-ray tech. The Recruiter never sent over paperwork as he said he would. He was very positive in the phone interview. I did reach out for a follow up, and I was basically ghosted.

I am the Business Development Manager for a national health-care platform and have been using Indeed since 2017 to post jobs / hire for our partner companies. I am not a recruiter. Recently Indeed sent me an email saying that my account has been deemed "unsuitable" for their platform and they are shutting it down. No explanation, no way to find out why...nothing. In today's business environment I find this type of behavior unacceptable and would warn any direct employer to think twice before posting their jobs on Indeed. I did call their customer service and spoke with a live person who told me that she cannot give me any explanation, according to their policy. I did get a refund for the fees incurred for my last posting BUT was not able to access any of the candidate info. This type of practice is the reason I will never recommend Indeed as a hiring platform. Employers STAY AWAY!

Don't use indeed.com. They post jobs that don't exist or are 4 months old!! They also are posting the "confidential" ads themselves to make it appear that they have more listings! They will sell your data if you upload your resume! I know because I have been receiving calls for bogus jobs! Also it is based in JAPAN! They are not an American job site! Employers: they never expire your ad and they will keep charging you! You cannot remove your credit card from their site! Total fraud job site.

I used to love this website but in the last month or so, whatever changes they have made, to make it look like Kijiji, has completely altered their system. I cannot download a simple resume as a PDF onto my desktop. I have to send a link, save it as a file, send it to my email and then when I open it, there is nothing there. When I upload my resume, it replaces my existing resume but puts everything in the wrong places so I spend hours fixing it only to review my resume and it is a simple, ugly looking thing that looks like it was made from a high schooler.

We set the budget for our job ad at $25 per day and acknowledged that the amount charged could be different, based on Indeed's statement "actual daily spend may vary". However, we were NOT expecting to be charged $180 in 7 days of a live posting. Our company contacted Indeed's customer service, who then clarified that the daily average we spent would have been readjusted to around $25, had we kept the ad live for 30 days. This was NOT made clear at the time when we set our job budget. Their billing system is not transparent, and is designed to make a quick buck out of you. Our company will not be using Indeed in the future.

All I wanted was to hire someone but Indeed not only takes your money to post and look for an employee. but also provide a platform for those so called employees to write negative reviews on your company. I dont need to pay someone for negative reviews. Do not use this service. Use other job search platforms that does not allow irritate people bad mouth you after you pay them for a service. And it shows up under my companies google searches so everyone can go see this crap.

Don't share your credit card details to Indeed. I am being charged without notification after every 3- 4 days. I am struggling hard to get customer service number to discuss the issue but I really don't know where have they hidden it. Be aware, you are about to be charged without any calculations or notification. The only notification you get is from your bank about amount deducted.

Indeed gives you the option (In Theory) to set a daily budget, but they will exceed your budget by 60%-100% every single time for their Own Personal Financial Gain. This is no exaggeration, I have been using them on and off to lace ads for almost a year now. They make it so difficult for me to keep using their platform because I have zero control of my advertising budget. Really Sad Indeed!!

Our company posted some jobs on indeed.com. We started to get email notification every time an applicant applied. So far so good, but since the number of applicants started to increase we had to disable to email notification. Guess what? There is no such a feature offered in our profile. That's not all. Every application you receive comes from a unique email address "e.g **" instead of a single email, so you can't get rid of the email by just reporting it spam in your gmail. It will keep coming. We had no choice but to close the account. So we went ahead to our dashboard and looked for it. Again, no such a thing exist. We had to contact their support to manually close our account and go through bunch of verification process like our time does not matter at all. Overall, horrible experience. I feel there is a shady practice going on to stop you from leaving and a very basic platform offered with no control over usual things. You better off with another job site.

As a company we've had 42 positions listed on Indeed in the past few years. We paused all postings because we did not have any openings earlier this year. Somehow one posting was "left open" and not paused and was charged at a rate of $500 a month (for a position that didn't exist). Once my admin caught the charges I contacted our sales rep who did some research on the posting.

Indeed has a very easy to use job board for both employers and employees alike. Unfortunately the costs are more than what anyone would want to pay. We spent over $500 in a month and out of 54 candidates, one showed up for their interview. The pricing system works in several ways. You can either budget yourself per day or per month. We set our budget at $20/day (which was recommended) for this ad and only ran it for two weeks because the bill was suddenly over $500. We stopped using indeed because we couldn't be spending $500/month for nothing.

I have been applying for a job using this website (indeed.com) for more than 4 years now, and I haven't received any call backs from any of those jobs that I've applied with. I know that this web site is a scam, because I've applied to more than hundreds of jobs in those 4 years, I suggest that you try other means of looking for a job like referral or Linkedin, with Linkedin in got liked 3 job offers with-in just a month of using that site.

I spent hundreds of dollars to find instructor for my Math center through Indeed but it hardly gave me a good candidate. It is a useless company. Just takes money but does not measure how successful customers are. Account manager Eric approached me when my card got stuck and payment got stopped but he never came to me asking if I am able to achieve my hiring target.

Seems on the surface like a good site...easy to navigate (for the most part) and relatively easy to post a job listing. However, then you discover the "catch." In order to get your posting to show up in search results you have to "bid" to get placement. The "recommended daily spend" from the CSR I spoke to for my part-time job in a small, rural, market posting was $20 per day. Even at that rate you can still get out-bid by larger companies with bigger budgets. Seems pointless to pay to post a job that no one ever gets to see. Of course that also means that if you're seeking employment, you may never find the perfect job if the prospective employer isn't bidding enough to get high in the search results. Indeed's answer to this problem? Spend more money. No thanks. I'll stick with other sites whose search results are based on keywords and relevance, not how much I'll allow myself to be fleeced.

I am an employer needing to hire an RN or an RT (Respiratory Therapist) for home healthcare. ** I had not used Indeed before so I set up an account and went through the process to post a non-sponsored listing, which is Indeed lingo for free. Thought I would try out the service first. What followed was my job posting being suspended, and then disabled with no explanation as to why, then an emailed notice that I needed to submit evidence that I represented a "real" business. I complied, and was emailed by three different staffers, variously called "Success Specialists".

Been searching for four years, in a Trade!!! Nothing! Zip! Nadda!!! Waste of time!!! Who decides? I know firsthand it's not always the employer!! I know personally that some "Managers" of companies I've applied to have never had my resume or application cross their desk. Yet I am declined for a job I am qualified for. Wasting my time!!!

INDEED.COM IS A SCAM! Not one candidate was qualified for the position we posted. Yet, we were charged over $280 for those that clicked on the posting. TBH we don't know if those we contacted were actually real potentials or just Indeed employees. Contacted Indeed with the suggestion that they modify their model requiring both the employer AND the potential employee to put in a CC #. Then they could allow the potential employee to see the body of the job posting -- meaning the job type and minimum requirements for the position -- and if they feel they qualify for the position they can click on it, revealing the full company and contact info, etc.

This company was good but now they don't know what to do with their business. They keep open positions forever [more than 30 days] and nobody cares, when you fill out a app in Indeed. It doesn't go anywhere. They just collect data to harass your email with non-existent offers after. Anybody can post a job there with legal or illegal purposes. Like Timpanos restaurant in Orlando FL. that closed 5 years ago and Indeed post a jobs opening 2 months ago and kept open for 30 days again!!! I tried to communicate with them before this, but there is not way. I understand everything but not the mediocrity of Indeed today, maybe is the fierce competition.

Same thing happend to us, they Indeed is a fraud company, took credit card detail, I opted for 150 Rs maximum limit per day, and for 2 days they charged my 1907 Rs. It was expected 300+tax, we were just trying Indeed for some time, and suddenly we got message that they have charged 1907 Rs. Even they don't have any option to delete card detail, I don't want to deal with Indeed anymore, I want refund, at least they should have delete credit card option, if my card will be charged further, I will go for legal support, even when we tried to call them and contact them, they putted wrong number on their site - 000 8000 402795 M-F: 10am-5pm, it's just a fraud company. Employers need to stay away from Indeed.co.in, or Indeed, they are just professional scammers. Manish **

Indeed is a good place to search for jobs but that's it. It won't help you with anything else and it may even cause you harm. In the assessment section, if you are interrupted or have any technical problems while doing them, there is no way to stop them or to erase them from your profile. Plus, it happen to me that the application said that I had an assessment done, while I never did it. You don't have anybody to complain or to help you with the application, so, it is not reliable. And on top of that, many Indeed recruiters send you emails that said that your resume match with this or that job and they are totally different. For example, I am an Anthropologist with vast experience managing art collections, they send me a match for an Engineer position. Where is the match? If you answer anything to these recruiters, you never hear back from them. I don't even know if they are real or not.

Applicants BEWARE of Scams by Fake Employers. My company does not post job listings on Indeed.com so I was shocked to receive several phone calls & emails today from "applicants". They wanted to verify that I was the one asking for their personal information. Apparently, anyone can open an "employer" account under a real business name and in many cases, they are NOT required by indeed.com to offer proof that they are indeed that business. In my case, someone fraudulently posted a fake job listing and then contacted applicants saying they were from my HR Department. They told the applicants that we needed to run a credit check and background check and that we needed all of their personal information to do that. Luckily, some of the applicants were smart enough to be suspicious and contacted me first. I told them NOT to provide any information because I haven't posted any job listing and it must be a scam.

I joined Indeed.com in March. I began to notice a few companies really close to my house with ads and I applied but was not contacted. A few weeks pass and the same ad is reposted only now the compensation has jumped from $15hr to $38K annually ($19hr). I tried to contact the company by email no reply then by phone and they simply say to check the website for job openings. When I press and just ask if they are concerned someone could be posting fake ads using their business they say no it hasn't been a problem. I am the first person to call and bring it to their attention. At least 15 jobs I applied for over 30 days ago are reposted now with the exact description and bump in pay.

Indeed is a useful job search tool – that said, ONLY if you perform a few minutes of critical due diligence before applying. Beware. The site is a jungle of scammers. From experience: No legitimate company will ask you to interview through Google Hangouts. It is a known scam. If after posting your resume and profile you receive: “You’re the perfect candidate for this new opportunity” –type emails from ______@gmail.com, trash it. No legitimate company will use a gmail address. Scam.

I love Indeed.com! The easily navigated website makes your entire job search feel and look very professional. They help you make a professional looking resume that can be easily updated, reviewed and attached to each job application. The site gave me a sense of confidence and excitement in my search. Their site continually sends job openings daily. The amount and variation of job openings were surprising and fun to see. I ended up with the perfect job for me within a month! I am 61 years old and it was the best job search I have ever had!

Earlier this week I saw a post on Indeed about a career fair that Sam's Club was suppose to be having on today (8/23/2019) here in my city, and that they will be hiring on the spot. I had to fill out an application on Sam's website then set up my interview time on Indeed. Well, I was all ecstatic about the idea of working for this company. I prepared myself this morning, paid for a Lyft ($16) then I went to the interview only to find out that Indeed has duped me and over 300 other people. The manager stated that Indeed has done this the past 3 years to people but they only hire from their own site.

Posted an ad on Indeed, it was approved, on the site for three days, then they took it down. Wanted additional proof of our company even though we are all over the internet. We sent in a bill with our address on it as requested. It took a week and a half for them to look at it and they said they wanted a utility bill instead?? I cancelled and requested a refund as they are wasting my time, 2 weeks of my time total. Worse service and ad approval model.

I have had to use Indeed for job searches in the past. The problem I've found is outdated job postings, job postings that don't exist or employer doesn't even have that position available. Indeed will post a lot of jobs but if you check on the actual company site of the job you are applying for, the company is not even hiring. Indeed has wasted a lot of my valuable time trying to find a job, sending resumes to no one most of the time. Best thing to do is when you find a job on indeed, don't apply thru Indeed. Find the companies actual website and apply there.

Staff is very nice and helpful to the best of their abilities granted. In a 30 day period, we were invoice over $1000, received over 100 applicants and no employees. We had one candidate that accepted the job, filled out paperwork and didn't show for the first day of work. Many out of town applicants that were considering moving to Colorado but had no immediate plans to do so. We were charged for these applicants who were just shopping. We did receive two different credits when we expressed our concerns which was much appreciated. I give the service 1 star but gave 2 stars overall because of the great staff we spoke to on every call. We don't blame Indeed for prospective Employee actions but the billing structure (charge per applicant) is not a good value.

I have used Indeed in the past, never an issue, I was always able to place a spending limit on my ads. However what I didn't know was I clicked on an old ad to copy and paste the ad to a new ad, which in turn restarted my old ad. Indeed automatically uses a spending threshold of 500.00 so in 1 week my card was charged 500.00. Because I had an extremely full schedule I did not get onto my account and look until a week later and noticing what had happened I immediately shut off all the advertising. Ok so now I have been charged 500.00. Suck it up and pay it. So I did.

It is ridiculous that Indeed has job postings older than 1 month. I almost applied to a job that was posted 6 months ago! What a potential waste of time. Obviously they just want it to look like they have lots of job postings. I know you can filter results, but if a job is not available, why even show it?

I posted my resume on Indeed and I have been searching for a job for over 6 months. No hits whatsoever until an employer contacting me by my telephone number and notified me that he has been trying to contact me through my Indeed email which does not exist. So after careful research and review I notice that on my original resume I have my Gmail account but when I fill out an application through Indeed they put their indeed email account which does not exist. I don't know why they changed my email address to an email address that doesn't even exist. I believe that they're doing it so that people will continue to stay unemployed and use their services. This place is a hoax and they're playing with people's lives. I would have given them a less then a one star if I could.

As someone who has worked with Indeed for years, I can tell you they really don't care about their clients, or the employers who spend thousands and thousands a month on ads. You can work with dedicated reps who overview EVERY ad, EVERY title, EVERY LITTLE DETAIL, yet you will have your account shut down out of nowhere, and they give you ZERO feedback on why. Even though you have followed every rule set out by your dedicated Indeed rep. ZERO communication between sales and the guys that shut down your accounts. Indeed puts small businesses out of business as they don't allow for those smaller sales companies to grow. Such a shame that this awful company is buying up the ad posting market and making it impossible for the little guys to get out there.

They then go on to solicit my former employers for business and I never hear back from them. This is absolutely low down, disgusting and infuriating to me.

The information I entered do not appear accordingly sometimes, something I entered in the awards section becomes a work experience?! And there're strange bits and pieces from other sections in wrong places. If you have two kinds of jobs you would like to apply to, which means you'd need to switch to another resume, you'd have to use another account.

The most terrible platform I ever have seen, EXPENSIVE, NO CUSTOMER SERVICE AT ALL. I try to post the advert, they reply that my advert is disabled it, I don't know why!! I know they misunderstanding, but there is no one to talk to. They don't care about a small client. With the Google job and lots of other new platforms and their bad customer service they will lose the market gradually.

We are a small business trying to pay someone $20-24/hr for part time help. We've used Indeed in the past with success. Now they've changed their system-- and are essentially a scam. They told us our posting 'wasn't suitable' -- BUT -- if we paid them to sponsor it-- THEN it would magically become suitable to post. If the free option doesn't really exist, don't waste our time and pretend it does. You've deprived a potential job seeker an opportunity for a good part-time job.

Indeed is a great platform to use to search for jobs. It's easy to use, easy to filter, and easy to apply for positions. I've gotten real interviews and real jobs for it over the past few years. The issue I have is with the scammers on this site; it seems rampant lately! I do my due diligence when applying through job boards: checking spelling and grammar in ads, look for things that seem too good to be true, and making sure the business name is listed in the ad, and then Googling it to make sure it's legitimate.

Uploaded my resume (professionally made) which I then had to spend hours correcting all the mistakes from the auto-fill-in system. When jobs start coming they are not conducive to my skills or even close to the resume. Finally, get a valid job worth applying for and there are two problems. 1) need to have a skills test which doesn't match the needs of the job and 2) the plain text resume is so messed up and wrong (not what I entered & corrected at all) that it looks like I am the worst candidate ever.

Indeed.com invites with many claims for being the best jobs website but their platform is merely a data collecting entity with very little valuable and actual jobs offerings. The setting is so construed that it ignores basic qualifications and sponsors instead a few companies like uber drivers and factory jobs that have nothing to do with the resume you provide as a base. When trying to “unsubscribe” from their many emails it links to a page that has no settings to stop their spamming of emails. Void them! I’ve even send letters to request them from stopping to email me jobs that sound like “you can make $1000 working from home..." Pure scam!

I find this process frustrating and unprofessional. I have gotten two interviews through Indeed. The problem is, there is no reality between the hourly rate shown on the site and what the employer was willing to pay. In both cases, I asked for the $18 hourly rate Indeed showed as maximum. Since I have an MBA and 20 years office experience, I thought this was reasonable. Both companies told me their rates were $12-14 per hour. Don’t waste my time. Also, there should be a way to contact the interviewer directly on the date of the meeting. Although I was on time for my interviews, traffic issues can cause delays and it would be convenient and professional to have contact numbers between the two parties.

They don't tell you upfront that your job posting is limited to views daily. I mean REALLY limited. No wonder we never have hired using Indeed. They do call you and promote a higher price for more views. Forget about that! Read the fine print (if there is any) and chose elsewhere.

Have been using Indeed, as well as the other job sites, for 3 years, and not much to be satisfied about. I don't know if I can blame Indeed & others for the failures, or just the companies they represent. I like Indeed for their quick apply and reply.

NO PRIVACY OR COPYRIGHT. We have spent tens of thousands of dollars with this company. They have no loyalty to their customers. It took us years to get our ad correct and they just let people copy and paste our ads to their own sites without asking permission. We submitted a complaint, they don’t respond back. All they have is their marketing people respond back trying to get us to spend more and more money. But when issues arise they ignore you for almost a month. There is no address and never responded back. Companies like this will not last long with no printables.

My fiance has been looking for work for months now. He had decided, based on what is recommended online, to skip Craigslist this time and use Indeed, Glassdoor and ZipRecruiter. All I have to say is that applying to averagely 10 jobs a week for 6 months has landed him 2 phone interviews and 2 in person interviews. 4 from 100s of applications. He visited the unemployment office to try and help and they said his experience and resume were great, he was well spoken and they really were not sure why he wasn't having luck finding work.

I work for a staffing company, and for the last year+. Indeed was working perfectly, no complaints, 5 stars. However, all of a sudden I find one day that my account has been disabled, all my posts suspended, and absolutely no explanation as to why. I called several times and each person told me something different. From what I gathered, Indeed decided a few months ago that it no longer allows recruiters and staffing companies to post for free and they would be FORCED to pay to post anything. Yet they advertise themselves as free so they're lying. They even have an option on free accounts to post jobs in multiple locations, yet they suspend you for doing so unless you pay, which is clearly deception.

We were sold on ITA and that we'd get 33 resumes for $500. We were told by our rep that we'd receive qualified candidates within a 20 mile radius. Out of the resumes we received, several lived way outside of our radius and many had ZERO relevant skills at all. After voicing my concerns, I was then told that the ads are simply targeting candidates based on the kinds of jobs they apply to and where. It has nothing to do with their actual skill set or location. This was a complete waste of our money and they are doing absolutely NOTHING to provide a resolution. Their solution is simply to suggest that we pay even more money to get candidates. Bad business practices!

Wanted to try out out Indeed by posting a job and got some candidate. They were the worse candidates which never answered, missed interviews, didn't even come for the first day after hiring them. I deleted those job postings and added more details and requirements. Later that day I get a call from them saying that my postings are not in compliance. I asked why.

I was a big fan of Indeed.com until yesterday. I check my job postings every Friday to make sure they are active, have a recent date and haven't "switched" over to sponsored ads. Lately, I had been receiving messages that my postings were paused and needed to be extended or sponsored to reactivate the posting. I didn't want to have any expenses with job postings this month so I made sure they were reactivated without sponsorship.

I posted a job and did get a good amount of candidates but they make it extremely difficult to cancel your subscription. At the end of the month I paid almost $700 only because they know how to make it look like you only pay one fee at the beginning and the final charge comes at the end with a huge bill. For people looking for a job it might be alright but for employers posting jobs I think it's a scam to squeeze out as much profit as they can.

I posted an ad, with the expectation of being charged for a certain number of 'hits', with a $20 daily limit. I received information from about 6 people inquiring about the position. When the bill came, it was for @$500!! When I phoned, asking why it was so high - I was told there had been 126 'hits' in the time I had run the ad. I call BS & FRAUD!!!

At first I thought that Indeed was a well priced way of advertising a job without the need to use a recruitment agency. As time went by I was charged more and more fees. I got endless pestering phone calls from their reps trying to get me to spend more money on my advertising and when I decided to close the account I couldn't. There was no option to close it myself so I had to email their customer services. They failed to close my account and continued to take money from my credit card even after the advert was closed etc. I have reported them to my credit company for fraud and have had the payments blocked. Be warned.

When I was looking to hire, I found the Indeed Resume Subscription Service appealing. It said that you would have 30 contacts that would last for 6 months and they had a system where the contacts get refilled if the candidate responds. It was not made clear that you would need to maintain an active subscription to retain these contacts, only that monthly your contacts would renew and your unused would roll over.

Indeed pulled job listings from my company's website and posted them. I am being inundated with resumes from unqualified applicants and calls from employment agencies. I WOULD NEVER CONSIDER DOING BUSINESS WITH INDEED. I have called and asked them to remove the unauthorized listings from their website but the resumes just keep coming. A HUGE waste of my valuable time!

I contacted Indeed looking for help to recruit a few candidates last month. As a first time client, I was told the basic, but not given enough information regarding how Indeed would charge me for those ads. My thought was that I was paying for clicks, and I had a daily budget that would run low within a few days. Believe me, that was not the case. After a couple of weeks I received an invoice over $500 which had been already charged to my company’s card. I called & emailed customer service, and of course they didn’t move a finger as an effort to help me. It was like speaking to the wall. It didn’t matter because they had already charged us! This was the worst experience I ever had. Before you go ahead and do business with Indeed, make sure to read their reviews and understand all the details of their scheme. This company is a fraud! Never doing business with Indeed again!

I only gave 1 star because I had to in order to post this. I am yet another business account reviewing Indeed. My account was abruptly deactivated for no reason April 29, 2019. I contacted to appeal and spoke with Carina who told me that they needed more information about my business legal documents. HUH!!? I have been posting on Indeed for the last 3 years, so course I have those. I was told that within 24-48 hours, I would hear back from the Search Team. Never heard back so I called and then got an email that they made the decision to keep my account deactivated WITHOUT LOOKING AT MY LEGAL DOCUMENTS.

I was fine with using Indeed to find work until recently a scammer somehow managed to find my contact info (I keep my resume private) and texted me about a job, I knew it was a scam almost instantly, and didn't give out any private information but the fact that these scammers can get away with this & there's a good chance they succeed with some people & those poor people lose a lot of money or their identity, that really irritates & frustrates me. Indeed should be filtering their employers or making sure these scammers can't reach out to you. I've used other job search websites and never had a problem with this. It's only on Indeed that I run into these problems, and lately it's been discouraging me from using this website. I also don't like the idea of some random person that's scamming people having my personal contact info.

I tried to post two jobs and both were denied. The first one was for a sales rep to work selling a home improvement branded product for Home Depot. The second one was for a part time bookkeeper. They denied the post because they said it’s a MLM business. We are licensed in 3 states and have $1,000,000 of insurance. We have never been in the MLM business. I think my company has been blackballed.

As a job seeker, I found they continued to post positions that were no longer available, especially if you showed interest in the job by reading the description of duties. So if the employer is paying “per click“ they are making money posting jobs that have already been filled and wasting people’s valuable time as well as getting your hopes up that the position may have opened up again. It’s hard enough being unemployed. Please stop the abuse and adding insult to injury.

Our company used indeed.com to post an employment ad. It was very expensive and felt like they used bait and switch tactics. We got three people who responded, two were not qualified and one never responded to calls for an interview. We posted the ad with our local state unemployment agency for free and began getting qualified applicants. I will never use indeed.com again. It felt like a scam.

I want to thank Indeed for not only helping me get a great job but a career. Although it did take some time, they really did help me by sending me notifications on new job opportunities as they came in. I also liked the fact that the jobs stayed relevant to the type of career I was seeking. Me and my family truly appreciate what they are doing for me and others. Indeed has been a great resource and tool, by helping a lot of people find great jobs and careers. So thank you Indeed for helping me achieve my career goals and keep it up.

This site always making me fool. Each and every company takes money for conducting interviews and yes when I asked this is consultancy or not, they told me, "No, no - it's direct company profile interview and you just come tomorrow on that address." But whenever I was reached then they starts ** - means taking money like ₹1500 or ₹600. If you are not able to give any person job then you will not be any right to taking money. ** job site. Worst experience ever.

Jobs sent are plentiful but most do not match experience, education, or stated interest. Even though I specified a 25 mile radius (one way) most of the jobs exceeded that. There is no communication stream whatsoever. The only thing you can do is constantly update your resume with stipulations. Because they send so many seemingly random jobs, it takes forever to go through them to find maybe one or two, that might be a match. They also say that "so and so company wants you" when you know better and the job is some assembler job or Uber/Lyft driver. I do not see where any attempt is made to actually match the position that is available with truly viable candidates.

I am a job seeker who is returning to the workforce after being self employed. I completely understand the logic of assessment testing. But I am having a difficult time understanding why I should take a test and not receive any feedback on how I did? If I take a test I want to understand my weak areas so I can improve but never find out how I did? What is in it for me? As it stands I may be taking a test thinking I am doing great and for all I know I am failing miserably. I contacted Indeed several times but I am making my last attempt today regarding this....Clearly I am not expecting anything other than an automated response. The moment I get that response I am closing my account and just using alternate sources.

2019-04-26 Update: I have not heard from Indeed about this review, but, I have continued to receive applications. The application window closes today at noon, and I will look at what I have received and, hopefully, find some suitable short-list candidates. We will review this process, and the costs of posting, and determine whether or not we make use of Indeed in future. My recommendation is to look VERY closely at what they are offering, what their limitations and exclusions are, and what they are delivering, before making a commitment.

FREE? Don't believe that. I have filled out one resume template and paid a couple of dollars. I didn't like that I needed to give out my credit card details. I was billed in 2 payments the same day. Now 2 weeks later, I have been billed AU$ 34 again!!! Don't know what for? I am furious and hope this payment is being refunded, and they take me off their subscriber list NOW!!!

As a small business we do not have a large recruiting budget. Indeed's free service has found us many amazing new hires at no cost to us. Their site is easy to use and I love the ability to utilize the questionnaire that limits candidates and only sends me ones based on the questions I ask. From a billing perspective, the prior HR Manager placed the $100 monthly subscription on our VP's credit card and then left the company. This was reported to Indeed and within 2 business days we received a full refund. This is a stand up company that I would highly recommend to any business professional.

Banning companies from posting jobs and not giving any reason. We're a company that has been using Indeed for many years as a source of gaining new employees. Out of nowhere Indeed disabled our account. When we called to find out why they wouldn't give us a real reason. When we asked if there was anything we needed to change about our ad, they told us we were banned from ever posting on Indeed again. They wouldn't tell us why and kept saying they have the right to remove any ad they want to.

I never received password. I am frustrated! Why don't you have phone number with real person? I cannot say much more. I am wondering if this is even going to get me any help. How much more specific can I be. I like it the old way when you filled out app. And were hired on the spot.

I had technical issues with the testing and they would not reset the testing. The customer service department did not resolve the issues. I asked to speak to a manager several times and was ignored. ALSO, I have a slight vision impairment and had difficulty seeing the tables clearly in the EXCEL test. I also needed more time as I have learning disabilities. As a person with disabilities, they are very discriminatory against this segment of the population. They should have a separate testing for people with disabilities. I am making a formal complaint with the Justice Department for their discriminatory behavior. I am also writing a letter to complain to them as well.

I have now been approached at least 3 different times that I know of in one month by scam artists pretending to be companies on Indeed. It is extremely frustrating and demoralizing to find out that I have put in an effort to apply to REAL companies that I actually want to work for but have been duped by a false company job description. I am wasting my time and effort on these job descriptions and they are not putting in any time or effort to make sure that these so-called "jobs" they advertise are actually coming from the companies they are claiming to be from.

I HATE how Indeed.com basically forces you to take "assessment" tests. And the questions are really STUPID - like "your computer program freezes. What do you do?" And none of the options were anything I would do. I've worked with staffing agencies for over 20 years and had to take too many of their outdated, useless tests. I refuse to do it on a job posting site.

These assessments are completely unreasonable. So ridiculous it prevents skilled candidates from even getting an interview. How can they continue to get away with this? Who are they to say if I am skilled?

** hate this Indeed man, once you save your info and your resume to your account. Scammers get them, they call my phone every day, now I'm about to change my whole number. I had my phone for 3 years now. And they made me change it. I ** hate Indeed. Wish I had less than one star. Wish I could give them. 0.0000000000000001 star.

I've been fooling around with Indeed.com for a year and a half by now, and I have so far concluded that they may actually be successfully placing people somewhere, but IMO it must be in a narrow field and it seems obvious by all their advertising they are targeting mainly employers so they can charge them for a "subscriptions". As others have said, Indeed sends out a regular stream of 'jobs' based on my information, and most of them are repeats (sometimes from a month earlier) and only about 1 out of 10 is actually relevant.

A waste of time. Redundant and irrelevant emails that are repetitive and rearranged almost hourly. They act as though they are trying to help, but that is not the case. It is better to search companies and go to the actual websites to apply.

The Indeed Assessments are poorly written and highly time sensitive. They do not allow a person to check the answers to see where they may have misstepped. According to Indeed, do not allow a retake, nor do they allow an option for recourse. I have been working in graphic design for nearly a decade, I have studied the elements of design and taken college courses. The test I received was BADLY written and gave too little time to understand the question it was asking let alone answer it. These assessments affect an employer's view of a potential candidate and therefore can cause direct harm. Indeed has no right to consider itself an authority on education or deciding the ability of a candidate.

The Indeed payment system is a total scam. We have posted positions on it on a few occasions and agreed to pay for 1-2 months to get priority listing. They just keep charging you after this period indefinitely. There is no way to cancel or change payments online once you have subscribed. I was charged $125/month for what they called a "resume subscription service" to which I never subscribed, at least not for an indefinite period. If you post jobs, do not pay for anything or track charges very carefully. This is not a company to be trusted.

I applied for many jobs on Indeed. If l get a response, it’s mostly temporary positions. I think l am applying within the actual company because some of the job listings make me feel as l am. Another position l applied for was very misleading. It was for an HR assistant. I got an email reply from the company that l had to put ads out to recruit truckers and the more l got the more l made. Sounds like a sales job to me and l am not putting ads out to make money. Every job l have had through them was a disaster and the response time is so slow. Be careful also because l got emails from really weird names and l investigated and they were scams. l get a million emails for job matches and no one is biting or random emails from other places. l am removing my information from there.

I cannot tell you how many times I have applied directly on Indeed and directly on the company website using Indeed and receive zero responses. Some are needing the exact skill set that I have and beyond. This is just the nature of Indeed. You'll be hired so much faster just using a staffing agency and trying to get hired permanently that way.

The website is cumbersome to use. It takes much practice to memorize the steps to get where you want. Not user friendly at all. The reps are not helpful, in fact, they are very defensive and combative when you raise an issue. They tell you to call customer service 24 hours a day where you will get more deflection. The candidates are out and out liars. They respond to your interview questions with what they think it takes to get to the next level. If you do find an interesting candidate, you have a 2 out of 10 chance that they will actually respond to your interview invitation. You will end up spending money for no good reason.

I am a legitimate company looking to hire employees on Indeed. I went to check my account this morning, and my account had been disabled. I'm working with a potential employee this morning, and have three others that I plan to check out. I do meet the requirements. This business is a sub-business of another company that will be offering different services, and these businesses will be working together but filing taxes separately, due to the fact that the other owner is my daughter. How my business is not meeting guidelines is beyond me. Maybe because I'm not a paying customer. If you want me to pay, be honest, don't just disable my company without at least calling me to see what the deal is.

Sent out resumes for 6 months for jobs I was more than qualified for - Indeed indicated 2 were viewed. Then I received bogus emails nonstop from alleged potential employers. If you need a job this is not the place to find one. They want you to send out resumes not to gain employment.

I was convinced that Indeed was the solution to my hiring issues, and I must say that I did my homework and I found this page, I was very close to sign up with them. Reviews truly works especially when you can see the frustration of the people in their words. I will move on to some other method of looking for employees, for sure not in Indeed. Thanks.

I have about 7 resumes from legitimate candidates -- these cost me $5,000.00!

Finding a job is difficult at best. Indeed just complicated my search. First they advertise nonexistent jobs. Second they sell your information to telemarking companies and you are bombarded by solicitation for colleges and employment recruitment. Oh that also have nonexistent jobs. You spend time on getting through what you think is a job application and then discover it is not. They are trying to sell you services. I regret ever putting my resume up. Complete waste of time and money.

Indeed is the most discriminating company. I created 2 contract positions with PAID monthly payments but without any explanation, they deactivated my account. I guess they either only work with large companies which means they are miss-advertising, or there is some sort of a suspicious matter going on. I will never trust this platform and their guidelines as well as their leadership.

Representative I spoke with reviewed ads with me, then she asked amount I wanted to spend on two ads, once that was decided on she asked how long I wanted ad to run. I decided on two weeks. Almost $1000 later I contacted them and was told employer has to enter end date. Indeed does not do that. I asked then how can she enter dollar amount and not end date as we discussed she never said I had to enter end date. I was told that this is a site employer can adjust (I was not told that in the beginning). I tried to go to link through an email to end posting and it would not take it. They got me for about $700 more than I agreed on. Please be aware of this.

Indeed is overcharging the clients for no reason. Their billing cycle continues even beyond the set date of publication. Therefore, when doing a job vacancy publication, be careful dealing with Indeed. I have faced this issue for the second time and their customer care executives keep on telling excuses. Pathetic and embarrassing services.

If you are looking for a job, and you are like me you are looking for something very specific. I am looking for a nice research job that requires a Ph.D., and a long list of requisites. The community I work in is quite small, and I don't know everyone so I still have to search for a job. No matter what, you will get subscribed. They will hammer you with "new jobs" in the area you looked. They will hammer you with emails about "similar jobs" and then they will hammer you with emails "are you ready to apply" to a job you saved, sometimes less than one hour previously. Each and every time I unsubscribe. There are jobs that aren't clear what they are, and I take a cursory look at them. Pretty soon I get reminders to apply, and search results for "Other jobs like this job you viewed".

We used Indeed to post a job with our company. We were immediately sold "up" to sponsored ads. We were being charged a fee for every applicant who submitted their resume to us. Based on their algorithms, we were being charged an average of $18 per applicant. Even though we requested the applicants have certain required experience/qualities, this was not the case. We received over 70 resumes but only one of those applicants had the required experience. It seems since the applicants have no skin in the game (they pay no fees), they "shotgun" their resumes to numerous employers with little regards to whether they are actually qualified. As a result, the employers pay a lot of money for unqualified applicants.

Hello. After being contacted by another scammer from Indeed, I have notified Indeed of the bad reviews and scammers they are letting on this site. I’m fed up with being harassed by these crazy humans who are needing help with their own lives. I don’t understand how you can sit and scam someone but you can’t sit and perfect your resume to get a real job/career.

Indeed.com your service is a just a front end for collecting personal information. Your ads are placed at the top of page and people think those are jobs, but they aren't. Just places that collect and sell personal information. This site and your business is a total scam and should be shut down. I am going to report my findings to the Washington State AG. Research some of the companies and see if those companies even have job openings. I did that because I was getting no responses from any companies and when I checked out some of the companies they were just fronts with a website, no job openings at all. If there were links to apply, the URLs went to another company, which after reading Glassdoor.com reviews, where just data collectors.

I am writing this review of my experience in the hopes that it serves to save someone from the headaches (multiple that I have had with Indeed). First, the site is full of fake jobs that lead to you serving up your cell number to a bunch of scam calls and telemarketers. One job posting even sent me to a generic form site that wanted me to send them a photo of my license and then prove my social security number! PLEASE NEVER DO THIS!

I am an employer with in-house recruiters. Indeed has scraped my website multiple times for our job postings and then posted them to their site, as if we approved them as a partner. We never gave them permission to get involved in our search! Since they've done this, they inadvertently distributed our site contact info to scammers and I have received countless calls, emails, and messages through the website from these scammers. In less than 24 hours, I received an influx of 100+ resumes. One person's resume listed over 10 banks and 10 tech companies. Why are they applying to my entry level roles?! I call the number because I'm curious and it is a deadline. I look up this person's name on LinkedIn and filter based on his "extensive" work history, and this person does not exist. Indeed, stop spamming employers and listing without their permission!

Yes! I think Indeed should check more to what employers they are putting up on their website. I was almost got scammed by this person saying I was hired to work from home. A woman sent me an email saying my resume was approved and I need to contact them through Google Hangout for the interview. I then had this interview where I thought I was hired; where she then told me all the benefits I would be receiving and my hour rate. ($25) and the next step was to talk with a training supervisor. They both told me that I would receive a check to buy supplies and materials.

Their job matching algorithm is unrealistic, it’s like, "Hey based on your 6 month customer service experience we think you would be great at this job 'primary dentist at [popular dental clinic]' or 'senior executive at [big name insurance agency]'," basically jobs I would never apply to because there is no way I would ever qualify. Also I have binges where I will apply to 10-15 suitable jobs a day for a week straight and I would be lucky if I received an update on 1-2 jobs about the status of my application.

When you pay for resume search subscription - they keep on banning you for sending emails to candidates for various reasons (even though it is the same job description they keep on advertising on their website). When reached out to them - they say they can't do anything to help you and send you a guidelines to follow. Excuse me. We are paying $3k+ a year... And we cannot use your service because we send Indeed messages to candidates??? Like wtf... Don't waste your money... And don't get locked it into one of their horrible contracts.

It is brought to our notice that you have withdrawn money from our credit card to Indeed company without proper notification. This is a huge misconduct from indeed company. We only requested for one day support which was mutually agreed at a charge of INR 250. I would also like to highlight here that further to our discussion and negotiation prior to commitment, it was not communicated that the service will auto renew after 24 hours. However we would like to inform that the service requested was from February 12th to February 13th which is for 24hrs. If you are not giving any satisfactory answer, we may be forced for litigation and raise our grievances through social media.

I'm a small business owner with approximately 15 full-time people in Indiana. I used Indeed for approximately six months and was beyond dissatisfied. Indeed charged us based on impressions viewed of our job posting. Not by actual applications submitted. Most of the applications coming in we could never get a hold of the people. We would call and leave messages, email, and no response. Out of approximately 15 applications submitted could only get a hold of two to three people. Of those two people only one would show up for an interview. Most of the people on there are submitting applications so they can satisfy Unemployment requirements. It's very easy to submit a quick application on Indeed.

I do the hiring at our company and last week started to receive 40+ applicants a day in my email and coming in the front door. Turns out that JOB SPOTTER, which is part of INDEED, took a picture of our sign in front of our company and posted it on their website. I called them and told them to take it down ASAP. They seemed surprised that I didn't want people applying from their "ad". I told them I have legit employment agencies who do that for me. They sift through all the applicants and send me the ones that are qualified and at the correct pay scale. They told me it will take 3 to 4 days to remove the posting, a posting that we never authorized. This is NOT the correct way to win business over. The opposite is true. I would never consider using Indeed after this experience. This should be against the law and personally I feel that this is a violation of everything that is true and honest.

This site is such **. I have been using it on and off for years, although I rarely, if ever, are contacted for jobs. The site has VERY OLD jobs advertised, and you cannot tell if they've been filled until after you apply. Also, they put 'new' in red next to VERY OLD jobs that are either filled or are just VERY OLD. It is the biggest waste of time!!!

It seems that the job postings have become nothing but database builders, phishing scams or fake listings to meet a government requirement. None ever reply or respond to an application submitted regardless of qualifications or experience. The same jobs posted every few days or multiple jobs posted by a company.

This is the biggest scam going. They are charging my bank account $236 for a six day ad after the already charged me $25.00. Please people, beware of this company, it’s the worst. I’ve had several people tell me they had the same experience. DO NOT use them.

Reasons for my review stem from my experience and speaking with employers. First, they post jobs that aren't real. It's already hard enough looking for a job but applying to jobs that never existed is just wrong. My advice if you apply either follow up with the actual company or email them. I have also been told our resumes do not parse in format. So they just get a run on of words and they have to try and figure them out. I have applied to well over 100 jobs in my current search and not one call. Hard to believe not one company hiring or being told thanks but no thanks. Never hear from anyone. I only apply to jobs I definitely am qualified for. So this is extremely discouraging for me to learn what I did first hand.

As other have posted here they do not have upfront pricing. You post a job as an employer and put a dollar cap that they can charge, from there you will start seeing applicants but then it starts to slow down with the applicants. I was billed $250 for the past 3 months and had a total of 3 applicants so I asked thru their chat to explain what I was being billed for as their invoices show no details.

Very bad experience as a potential employer with Indeed. Their business practices and fee structure are VERY SUSPECT. Fees made as unclear as possible... On Purpose! Employers - if you intend on using Indeed, be very aware that their fees and costs are hard to determine in advance. The company apparently uses credit card access to drive their profit-center. The ability to charge your credit card in unlimited fashion sets up abuse by Indeed and no incentive to reveal their costs honestly. We had to complain to both Indeed and to our credit card company before the charges were reversed. Obviously, Indeed hopes that most users will simply quit and leave Indeed with the profits. Beware...

As an employers it is so disappointing to post a job at twenty dollars a day to only get people who will apply to everything even when they aren’t qualified. Indeed has set this system up to take advantage of every angle and they know this. They force us employers to pay for their monthly service to allow us to search through resumes and locate qualified candidates vs the entire internet running up our bills by applying.

This website is a complete joke. I do not know anyone who has ever used this and actually gotten a job. I personally, have been looking for anything I can do, full or part time. I am very qualified to work in anything from administrative, medical or security/law enforcement. I have been trying to get a second job for almost 2 years, I have applied through Indeed to more than 60 jobs and have had like 2 interviews. COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME.

I was told I would have a £50 charge. They kept charging me £7 a day for 2 months. Never contacting to say what was going on. Heard this happens all the time. Rip off. Don’t use. And the quality of the job applicants is terrible.

Recently my wife looked at Indeed when trying to get a job working with a local trucking company. She has been a CDL driver for over 35 years. There was a great local opportunity when she applied through Indeed. A response came over they do hire woman because it is male preferred field. I contacted Indeed to get the particulars on this company to file a complaint with the EEOC, I was given the following statement:

Beware - whatever amount you set with them won't be accepted and they'll just charge you any amount they feel like! First of all, I signed up to post a free advert, as is my right as they advertise this ability without any terms and conditions. After my first job application came through, Indeed then emailed me to say my advert can no longer be free, is no longer live, and has to be paid for, with no reason other than 'certain types' of adverts need payments. Annoyed by this, I decided to give it a go but keep the cost low, at £7 budget per day. Indeed calls the daily amount you set an "average" daily budget, as their way to make you spend whatever you like.

Indeed seems to be a professional and an easy way to upload your resume and find a job. But that is so not true. I have been using Indeed for months with hopes. I am well qualified and skilled for the positions available that meet my years of experience. I seem to have scammers reach out than these companies. Indeed just sucks all the way around. Would not recommend using. Wouldn't even give them the one star but it is required.

Recently there was a job posting for PA (personal assistant) at Avant Garde And the Owner of this company is MR. Suneet **. They had called me for the job opportunity and this person claims to be in Canada. His contact number stated is ** and he took help of a girl whose name is Sudha and her number is **. Sudha had called me and mentioned the job details. After I got convinced with the job she asked me to call Mr. Suneet and have a word with him. After the discussion with Suneet, he told me to complete a project on one city and after completing that he promised to pay Rs.2000. As promised, I completed the project and when asked him the pay for the project completed. He blocked my number stating the project was not good and ridiculed my work. Indeed should definitely verify such job postings.

As a recruiter, I do not trust Indeed anymore. At first, they were fine, but I constantly run into resumes that have the same exact text but different names and locations. It's clearly some sort of bot posting them, because they all seem to forget to capitalize their last names. I've tried to contact a couple of them, but they never respond. I don't know why anyone would post fake resumes that never respond to offers, unless it's Indeed trying to make their resume numbers look good. In any case, it's not worth the money unless you can find resumes that link to some sort of social media profile. LinkedIn Recruiter Lite is almost the same price and is a lot higher quality.

Please be extremely careful, Indeed has hidden charges and even with maximum units set, they will automatically over invoice and charge you! The website is poor and designed so make it difficult to remove accounts or change charge settings.

Indeed decided to post the career page on my website without permission. It literally bogged down my entire company for 10 hours and cost me who know how much money. We were inundated with hundreds of emails, the phones rang so much we could not actually get real customer call. My cell phone is on the site, my phone rang every few minutes and people would not and will not stop calling. Some people said they even had a big pop up that highlighted our company over all the others, and showed over 10 positions open for hire.

Indeed is a huge scam for both employers and employees. They fake statistics using fake jobs and people, and have now started cutting off some companies while allowing others, with no explanation or rational. They are engaged in blackmail, demanding money from some employers who they feel can pay, while others post for free. I strongly recommend to not use Indeed.

We are Senpex, your corporate customer. Used you before as the recruitment partner, but what happens is you charged over even we didn't use you. So urgently if you care about partnerships and interested not to lose the customer, change your account executive and Sales Director George and Matt and refund our money you charged.

Expect lengthy information - First time letting a site search jobs for myself. I find Indeed expectations with replying to jobs and summaries are a bit much when you don’t have much to write but a few experience or applying to a job requirements.

I love this site. Easy to apply for jobs and it is so simple. Thank you. Way better than CareerBuilder! I just love how easy it is to upload your cover letter and resume. One of my favorite parts of this site is the ease of access to apply for certain jobs with their "easily apply" option next to certain jobs.

I have read some things on this website that have supported my decision to take Indeed.com to court. We are preparing our case as I speak. I am seeking other employers who have had a similar experience. Has Indeed disabled your account due to any fee's involved with the hiring process? They have disabled our employer account and refuse to come to a solution. They have allowed other companies to post jobs that involve fee's, just not ours. We are asking that any employer with the similar experience to contact us.

I would never use them again. They overcharge and set up accounts that charge monthly without notice. The applicants were not relevant to the position. And the same, irrelevant applications showed up over and over again. Did not interview any of the dozens of not qualified applicants. Complete waste of money and time.

I am in Memphis TN and Indeed has too many fake job postings in this City. Probably elsewhere too. I have called at least three companies I applied at that come up on Indeed as hiring with their addresses etc. and the companies have stated they aren't hiring and they did not place the ad. Also, I've been contacted a lot by very aggressive people from India who pulled my applications and who were trying to involve me in various scams. I would advise everyone to remove your actual name and phone number from your Indeed resume along with the actual names of your previous employers. Put as little identifying info as possible. Too many trolls using this platform.

Indeed has sent me the mail for interview purpose. But this was a fake company. The company has opened just 2 days back. But the employee said me he is working from 3 years in that company. Please if you know properly send us the mail else don't sent. My full day was wasted and money too to travel.

I posted my first job on Indeed and they immediately suspended my account. I sent them verification and even called them and of course, the whole time they were just trying to get me to pay for a sponsored job. WHY DO THEY NOT JUST TELL YOU UPFRONT YOU HAVE TO PAY TO POST?

Honestly I felt like Indeed was legit and helpful. Up until I applied to a posting and I felt like the opportunity was too good to be true. But the responses from the "employer" seemed somewhat legit. Even provided a website and all. So I went to the website and checked it out. It had nothing on it. Just a background layout and then 3 "links" that did nothing. From then on I went and googled anything I could to find info on the company and found nothing. Until I googled the email address that I was getting responses from. IT WAS A SCAM! So sad that Indeed doesn't find a way to provide legit listings without those scamming low life people.

Every day I receive 5-10 email confirmations and application rejections from Indeed for jobs I never applied. Staff claim they don't auto-apply for candidates and it's not possible that their system was hacked. I've changed my password, included 2-step verification, it's not a shared computer, and no one has access to it, yet I still receive daily emails from Indeed confirming that my application and resume have been sent to employers for jobs I'm clueless about. Some of the jobs I'm not even qualified for, either through experience or because the job is requesting a bilingual candidate -- which I'm not.

I am an employer who used Indeed a couple of months ago. The pool of applicants on the platform is a crapshoot. Out of 40+ applicants, only a handful were qualified. We closed the job posting on Indeed, because it was not worth our time. A couple of days ago, I noticed someone had copied and pasted job openings in our name. I found out that Indeed is aggregating jobs from our company website and pulling them over onto Indeed. Their system scans public websites and scrapes those jobs onto Indeed. As employers, we were not notified that this was happening, nor was there a request for authorization to post anything on our behalf. It wasn't until I filed a complaint that this was explained. I seriously thought we were being hacked. I would avoid their services. I do not recommend this company.

I had posted an ad in Indeed for vacancies in my organization. I put in a monthly budget according to my budget. I started getting extremely bad responses. Then I got a call from the team from an extremely rude guy who said that to get better candidates I should increase my budget around 8-10 times otherwise there will be no match. On hearing that is not my budget and other places are cheaper he became extremely rude and told me to remove the ad. I will never use this website again.

I have 26 years of executive sales and marketing experience, I have been a field trainer and district sales manager. I also have applied for 1020 jobs. That's right. One thousand and 20 jobs and no luck or job offer, Indeed sends the sale letter saying that I didn't meet their requirements of sales and need experience. Go figure!!!

I like to think most job postings on the Indeed.Com site are legit, but sadly they are not. I understand some companies are hesitant about supplying the name of their company to stop people from just randomly showing up dropping off resumes, but if you contact them through their Indeed.com site asking for more info and get ignored, more than likely it's a scam. It's good to know the job statistics and salary of your geographical area you are applying in. If a job seems too good to be true, do your homework first. Some fake ads too are using the names of real companies to lure you in, figuring you won't research any further and you'll innocently send your resume believing the ad to be real. Again DO YOUR HOMEWORK!

I had an employer account with Indeed for 3 YEARS. Posting the exact same insurance sales jobs for the exact same areas where we have offices in... and no problems for 3 years... UNTIL, I post another round of ads November 2018, and then one day later get a notification that my account has been disabled and I can write in to appeal the decision. No call, no warning, nothing but their automated "your account has been disabled" email. So, I call my sale rep I've had for 3 years there, and nice guy... but he tells me he has no power and just to submit the form and see what "they" say. So I submit the form and thoughtfully explain our ads and our account, and how they are the same jobs they have been posting for 3 years now. They message back 2 minutes later, saying the account is disabled again and that I need to call in.

I’m dumping Indeed for one single reason: they cannot seem to keep up with inactive or expired listings. I realize some of that is the hiring company’s responsibility, but here’s what has happened to me on many, many occasions. Based on timing, it can have nothing to do with the hiring company. Short story? Indeed recommends a job, I like the look of the position, and that very same day, I spend 4 hours on my resume and application, and I hit the “apply” button. Within 10 minutes of my application, I get a “Job has expired” notification from Indeed. It is a HUGE waste of time I don’t have applying to defunct positions, which makes me really grumpy. Indeed, I’m moving on to a more effective app. Thanks anyway.

Sales forgets you are the customer and they exist to serve you. Plenty of rules the customer has to follow, but Indeed is slow to respond to issues. Resume database is absolutely not worth the money. They think it is a sales' sole function is to get you to buy "featured" jobs, when they've already scraped your job from your website.

I have a seasonal Restaurant in the Hamptons. I reluctantly agreed to give this a try. The vast majority of applicants were from areas over 100 miles away from Eastern Long Island. A total waste of time and money. Thousands of dollars spent with almost 0 hires. (Maybe one or two). I also made it clear that all advertising would end by the end of June only to find out that my credit card had been charged through October. That was made crystal clear to “Dylan”. He either chose to disregard my request or it simply fell through the cracks.
