Indeed Reviews

While searching for positions in Atlanta, GA the majority are from outlying regions. That wouldn't be bad except Duluth, Alpharetta, and Tucker are about 20 miles from Atlanta zip codes. This practice is blatantly and falsely advertising job locations. It may look like there are plenty of postings in Atlanta but in reality there are only a few represented by Indeed. Of course there are plenty of postings but they come from about a 75 mile radius ALL COMING UP AS BEING IN ATLANTA. This is a complete time waster for job applicants not willing to drive 5 hours a day. It is a huge time waster.

My name is Robert and I own a service company with around 0 people! After posting around 10 job offers no one was performing well! I had a phone call from Ryan ** who is Indeed account executive! I told him that Indeed website is not performing and he asked me to copy the info from job description and to fill out a Indeed hire page where a Indeed specialist will help with finding a candidates! After 2 days I received a call from Callen and she stated sending me a emails with different names and candidates. She also mentioned that she will stop our regular job search engine where I said OK!

Ad taken down and account suspended for no legitimate reason. They stated that we can't charge any fees, which our company does not, but they continue to suspend my account. I could have been a paying customer, but within minutes of posting my job, They suspended my account with no fair ability to see if this platform would be right for me. This is the best way to piss off a customer and to show your poor ability to resolve issues or work a situation out. I'm very displeased with their lack of ability to resolve the situation and make it right. Hopefully this is a blessing that I got suspended so that way I don't end up spending money on something that may not have been a good fit.

Updated on 05/01/2020: Indeed is still posting nonexistent jobs on their site! The location for the company name is fictitious! Is it to pretend they have more opportunities than they really do or it’s just irrelevant if the information they post for their clients is correct or not? Which could be disastrous if one applies to the position when personal info is involved. Be careful with this company, something's off. Don’t waste your time as I did AND a second time no less! Also once again started receiving numerous scam calls on my cell. I don’t know why I went back to them, the Covid-19 has me searching for another position and I guess.. it was desperation. So sad that you can’t even trust a well known job platform during such difficult times. They never responded to these same allegations back in 2018 so not expecting one now. Stay away! If anyone does want to reach out I can provide proof.

I have applied for numerous jobs over the past year and a half through INDEED and have only gotten a couple of calls. I was shocked to find out (when calling some places directly regarding my application) that they are not even affiliated with INDEED and never received my application. Complete FRAUD.

I own a well established recruiting firm and although we do not post ads for our clients we decided to utilize Indeed to post ads for a number of internal recruiters we were looking to hire. Initially, the posted ads drew decent response, but many of the candidates indicated that they had never applied to our job and some were genuinely surprised their resume was even on the site! Then our ads were suddenly pulled down and we were informed that our firm would never be allowed to post on the site again!

In Canada, this website appears to be a front for jobs and they are targetting the unemployed. I went to a few interviews through them and the interviewer was asking psychological questions which did not have much to do with the job. Another interviewer is supposed to be a manager at a hotel but only works there once a week, which sounds odd. Then she suddenly said the job was taken and they will hire in April again. Why so far off? Indeed is a fraudulent website and company and they are misrepresenting themselves to the public. The companies that use them are probably letting interviewers use their facilities for interviews and they get paid off for it. They are wasting time of job seekers and abusing them by doing this. This is total corruption. Anyone have a similar experience let me know. This is a very serious matter.

Stay away from this site! They will use any excuse to PAUSE or CLOSE your job posting to FORCE you to sponsor your ad. And read other reviewers who made the mistake of giving in and providing indeed with their credit card info. They go through hell trying to dispute the charges and getting their money back. Stay away from Indeed!

I did manage to get 2 part-time jobs thru Indeed, but as soon as I started using the site I was flooded with texts, emails and calls from sites I never visited. All of these were for student loans, health care, even help getting disability or the like. It also included interviews and job offers that offered high salaries. It was so bad I stopped answering the phone. Sometimes I got up to 30 calls a day. Plus emails and Texts. So I was successful in getting a job twice in fact. But it came with a huge headache. Use with caution.

This site had the audacity to want only charge my credit card $422 for an ad that I DID NOT EVER PLACE! (They'd had my card from when I'd attempted months ago to use their service!). It took more over half an hour of aggravation on the phone, so they could tell me to "look for my full refund in 3-5 business days!" WTH?!? How DARE they steal MY money and then expect for ME to wait for them to return it?!? It's like they made themselves a no-interest LOAN! Talk about irresponsible, wanton derelicts!

They don't tell you the whole truth about billing or candidates. I needed to hire a person experienced in my business and after working out the bugs the first couple of days I was told by their rep that adding licensed or experienced in front of the title would assure me of getting only the qualified people I was looking for. That was as far from the truth as could be expected. Once I changed my ad to read "Experienced" I still continued getting 75% of resumes that weren't even close to knowing my business and it cost me close to $300 in less than 1 week, that's $81,200 a month if I kept it going. The only ones that benefited from my ad was Indeed.com. I calculated ZipRecruiter would have been less costly for me to use. It would have cost me for 1 month what I paid for 1 week with Indeed. STAY AWAY FROM THEM!

Stay away from this, just a waste of money, false resumes. They self subscriptions for a year like if you are going to be hiring all year long, they have a very high percentage of false resumes and you never get a good candidate.

This job finding company is absolutely incredible! I can't thank them enough for always coming through for me with employment. The accuracy of job matches is always spot on! I am working 2 jobs, one is 5 days a week. The other is one or both days (weekend) and love them both. For the first-time in my life I fit in at job places. The pay isn't very good, but I'm happy??? That's a first! The hours are perfecto! And the people are amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you INDEED. And keep up the awesomely incredible work you do to keep people employed???

Very happy with Indeed. They corrected a billing error. I discovered that I had not, in fact, suspended multiple city postings and it accumulated a rather large fee. Indeed customer service reversed the charges without an issue. So grateful. I will use Indeed again and again.

I just recently post a job posting on Indeed to search for qualified candidates. After the post went live for about 3 hours my account was disabled. A representative called me to explain the details I wanted to include in my posting would come at a cost. I agreed to the cost but could not proceed because as she explained I will have to appeal and wait for the compliance department to reactivate my account.

Indeed will ask why you rejected a candidate and then does nothing. They will call you and ask you for your feedback. And they do nothing. We have a 99% NO SHOW rate for interviews. I told Indeed they need to block these people from posting their resumes. He proceeded to tell me they can't do that (they can) and then kept talking over me. Why are you calling me if you're not going to do anything with my feedback and not allow me to speak at all? Waste of my time and my money.

If you are considering using Indeed, proceed with caution. Once you put your info in it's there to be used however they want. You don't now how professional a possible employer or even the Indeed staff conducts themselves so you don't know if your errors such as punctuation, grammar, and so on are going to be used for research for Harvard grads or a Forbes article so take that into consideration before submitting ALL your information.

Been using Indeed to find a job and I'm getting the same jobs over and over. Recent issue was wanting to reapply and the system wouldn't let me. Contacted Indeed and their response was, "Thank you for contacting Indeed. Since we are not representatives of the companies listed on our site, we do not have a way to edit or withdraw an application that you have submitted. Currently, there is not a way to re-apply or to cancel an application through Indeed."

In the past three years of utilizing Indeed.com to look for a job, I have never once been offered a position. Most recently, from July 2018 to September 2018, I submitted/applied for 204 jobs. Each submission included a cover letter along with my professional resume. 204 jobs, and zero results in terms of gaining employment.

The location filter doesn’t always work, or is ignored. I also get frustrated with all of the paid job advertising. It is sometimes difficult to decipher actual jobs from advertising in wrong locations.

Within the past month I have applied to 23 job listings on Indeed.com all of which I am completely qualified for. My resume was done professionally and I have excellent references. I DID NOT POST A RESUME ON THIS SITE BUT I DO ATTACH A RESUME EACH TIME I APPLY. I have applied to jobs using the “Apply Now” button. Out of the 23 applications I submitted I have received ZERO responses! I am however, receiving 5-7 scam phone calls a day and they never started until I submitted job applications on this site. The phone calls that I am getting are everything from solar panels to vacation resorts to life insurance policies. I am 100% positive that indeed either sells the information or has people phishing for the information. I am at the point of seriously considering changing my phone number. I will NEVER apply for another job through this site.

I have in depth experience and knowledge that Indeed.com as well as other major job boards are ripping off employers who are looking to hire people. They use well known bait and switch tactics, they will pump you full of leads for little money and then extort you for way beyond reasonable advertising funds until you leave. This should be prohibited under monopoly law but no attorney has the balls to take them to court with me. They have literally ruined my recruiting business. I’m about to shut my company.

They have sent to my inbox jobs relevant to my interests and abilities for five years now. There is variety, not just same companies repeated. Unfortunately I never actually applied for any of them.

I am highly suspicious of this company. I posted to Indeed because I am passively looking for a new job. After a few days, my boss contacts me about my looking for a new job. Come to find out, the company also uses Indeed to recruit. Somehow, my boss was notified of my posting. Luckily, I was able to explain the situation and have experienced no repercussions. In addition, there have been several news articles of late about scam artists using Indeed to collect personal information. Long story short, use Indeed at your own risk.

They should ban contract companies from using these sites. People are looking for real jobs not a 30 day or 3 month contract. And you want people to read your resume and not ask you something that is already on the resume. You want to ask the can they read.

I have used them all, cancelled everybody but Indeed. They are the most consistent and directed sites that I've ever used. I think the other companies use Indeed's listings to keep their listings current. Even when I'm not looking I get something from Indeed everyday letting me know what is available out there and it is very specific interning my actual ability and the job that they offer.

Best job site for hiring employees - much better candidate quality compared to some of the job boards who encourage anyone and everyone to apply for a job. Pricing is also attractive because it’s based on actual searches and clicks to the job post.

Must admit that I was not aware of the charges being billed to us that exceeded $2,300 for a month of postings. Eve ** our accountant manager said they made no mistakes on there end so therefore it was our responsibility to pay. Not even a bit of understanding. We were inundated with resumes and over 75 no shows for interviews and 2 that did, did not show up to work. Eve ** was no help and we are back to Craigslist!

When I was looking for other companies in the same line of the one I was employed with I easily set up searches and notifications. I did find another company and did change jobs and received a larger rate of pay at the same time.

Indeed seems to outsource their "job finds" from surfing the web, just like those of us looking for work can do. For the most part, the jobs they post have already been filled or are old "re-posts". I had the best luck with a Mommy Jobs online and I'm not a mom! But I got the best job I've ever had on their site!

As a fortune 500 employer, we tried them for "free trial". After 1 week we started noticing resumes had very similar language but different candidate name... Does that sound like a scam? Then we were asked to Shell out $499 if we want to contact them. Since we only agreed to $299, we asked a d then we got an email that "sorry our accounting sw had an error". Stay away is our humble advice.

I have searched and searched for any reviews of INDEED, and the validity of their online jobs portals. I have found - NOTHING. I have been using INDEED, for years, applied to jobs over and over and over, online with them and have never, ever been called for anything. I have modified my resumes, all 25 of them, re-submitted to INDEED and still - NOTHING. I have complained to INDEED, and more NOTHING. INDEED, advertises, they are the No. 1 job portal in the world, but they do NOT state they are the NO. 1 HIRING site, in the world.

I was impressed by the number of jobs listed, the fact that I could sort by specialty and salary range, and the adequate descriptions for each job. I felt that Indeed did very well at adding new positions daily.

I started to send my resume to pretty much any job offer I qualified for, I have a lot of experience on management, very few companies took the time to reply and when they did they only said that they choose another candidate, without even talking to you. Indeed didn't work for me, Word of mouth worked much better. A district manager heard of my reputation as a branch manager, interviewed me send me with the VP Sales, hired on the spot making more money than what I was making before plus bonus and excellent benefits. All this on the same day.

Most user friendly job site for sure! I don’t use any job sites too often but this is the one I have had the very best of luck with when I am looking for a job.

The company don't show that they case with followup, etc. nor has there been any correction for failing company to which you apply has contacted you or rendered a mere reply.

Beyond infuriated with this company. After trying 3 times to cancel my subscription, I'm just going to cancel my card and get away from this awful service. I've used this site for years and have never found a candidate that would work out long term. Biggest problems: The website is really awful. It looks like the first website I ever made with Geocities. Just bad layout, bad formatting and very unclear link methodology. The customer service was pretty bad today on the phone. I waited for 10 minutes to talk to a human and she treated me with the old, "you should know this already" kind of attitude. The monthly subscription fees have NEVER paid off for me. Just a reciprocating waste of time.

I never get replies from job applicants. I had a phone call once, but was disconnected when I replied that I graduated high school in 1966. Obviously, ageism comes into play.

They do send many resumes but none are qualified. Most are fast food workers or cleaners. None have the qualifications I am asking for so I don't know how they screen their applicants.

To Me Indeed has been great! They have a lot of different jobs. Any type of job, They text you each day about New jobs that come in. You do your resume on Indeed, So if you find one you can apply from Indeed.

Indeed.com is the best to me by far to job hunt. Not only do they have tons of listings, they go as far to follow up with you about jobs you applied for and Indeed sends daily notifications on new job postings.

When I was looking for jobs, Indeed was definitely the place to go! It helped out a lot. Thanks Indeed. You guys are a great company in helping people find jobs.

Then tells me to claim the company... WOW...

$17?? The first week for 2 candidates, the guy calls and says to change the key words so I did it while he was on the phone. 1 week later only 1 additional candidate, 3 in total and an additional $58?? charge to the business. I closed the job, and they still want to charge $22.21 for the rest of September... they are a rip off.

I've tried other job search engines. Indeed.com is the one that sends back the most relevant results consistently. Still job applicants need to be careful as some companies that post on all the various job sites are not legitimate, especially the postings for secret shoppers. If it sounds too good to be true or too high of pay for a no-skill job, be wary of the posting.

I used Indeed for my career change. They were very easy to use. I downloaded my email to their job site and received daily updates about jobs that matched my skills. I landed a job increasing my salary by 30%.

Indeed.com is one of the greatest job search websites that I have used and it even has the capabilities of showing me how many people have already applied for a particular job by the time I see it posted. Indeed is also deep rooted with Google itself since sometimes I would type the title position plus the location or the position title plus the company and surprise indeed.com appears on the first line of results in my search then indeed.com show me the results that I expect to see. However, of the few issues I see is that while today I see one position I like but for whatever reason I do not save it and I log out then the next day when I try to search for that same position I saw yesterday; that position does not appear. Indeed.com is like a ''take it or lose it" situation at times. But other than that, indeed.com is perfect.

I looked for a job in 2016 and Indeed was the website that always gave me the most suitable jobs for my skills and the most frequent updates. I was successful in one of those in April 2016.

They make it extremely simple to submit your resume to the potential job. Love the format how it holds the information and you have to just check things off. More companies should do that if they're going to go through a third party. Also, follow-up is easy.

I was using the free option to post a few positions for my small business and got a few candidates who were interested and interviewed. Everything seemed to be okay until I had decided to post a position for a specific vacancy and pay to get more candidates. The minimum amount that was allowed is $50.00 which seemed fair... until Indeed charged $295.00 to my credit card! I’ve tried to get a hold of someone to dispute the charge but had no luck. Good thing that American Express doesn’t take crap from dishonest companies and I could stop the overcharged amount. Now Indeed is charging $295.00 to my credit card every month!! I guess I will have to try again to get them to be honest... Watch out, rather use Monster.com.

Indeed is probably the best job finding site out there. You can customize what jobs you'd like to see and they're sent to your inbox. You can upload your resume and edit it at a later date. Great site!

The job postings aren't monitored by The Indeed Team. They claim that they have no control as to what is being posted. There were a few instances which individuals posted scam jobs. The Indeed Team should be more savvy and filter or verify the prospective employment opportunity first.

I get emails daily from Indeed showing what company is hiring, the position, and where. It is very convenient and easy to use and I research the companies I am interested in.

They do not post anything where I can get more information and never have jobs where I ask for by zip code. Very misleading. No customer service number to call.

Indeed has been the best employment website for me because it’s simple to navigate. They basically bring the jobs to you, and in a few clicks, your resume is sent.

Indeed.com does not verify their postings. There was a job posting of a business that had been closed down for awhile. As a site for looking for work it does that. However, I wish Indeed would work better with things like Grammarly. Indeed allows people to post reviews of companies which is great. But sometimes they do not have postings of whether a job is seasonal or part time. Sometimes the pay rate is not there. (Companies should post these things so people can make informed decisions before applying.)

I am a small business owner. I wanted to put up a job posting offer for a Dental Hygienist (RDH), as I have done with Indeed 2 times prior to 2018, with NO FEES included. EVER. This time however was very different. I wasn't allowed, on their website, to "renew" my posting from previous times. I had to make a new posting, which was fine. I made the posting, posted it without issues. Summer is a busy time with vacations in my office. So, NO, we didn't check the 'Indeed' website regularly, but we did receive an email when someone was interested, (2 TIMES) and was able to go on and check it out. I NEVER ONCE received an INVOICE or a bill from Indeed TO MY EMAIL. I was SHOCKED to see on THEIR website that My credit card was charged over $900 going back to July 2018.

It is good and have great leads. It cover all territory but they can be all include in one Indeed not all in different category. They cover all interest.

They SUCK. They have NO ** clue how to hire people. Their website is a SEWER to navigate. Their software hangs up, passwords are hard to reset. No internet support.

Indeed had all the info I was looking for when I used the service or site for my last job. It is a convenient way to find many employers and find the best for your needs.

One of if not the best searches. Very helpful, very current. Listing exactly states what job is, not hyped. Would recommend to anyone. It is not flawless but gets the job done.

The website is helpful. It would be nice if there was like a progress bar or else showing the app process. Not left in mystery about my application. Also when a job is fulfilled to be removed from the site, so we know if a job is still open even if still old. Looking for a job can be stressful and demand lots of time, a process more streamlined to save time.

I have been using this site to apply for jobs and have gotten a few job opportunities from it. There are a few jobs which make no sense that you're applying through here and after they look at resume on website the companies still want you to go to their website.

The job offerings/selections usually did not match what my RN specialties or geographic specifics were. Constant job offering posted for careers that I either had not interest or had not done in a multitude of years.

The site is ok. I feel that they show you a lot of jobs, but never give all the details. I have never personally contacted a company, from their site nor do I know of anyone that has.

I have been using Indeed for about 2 almost 3 years. Once you register with them, you will start getting tons of email with "supposedly" jobs. During the length of time I used them, I was able to get 2 interviews and a company that emailed me a year later. Both of the company I interview were asking for a lot of requisites and offered pennies for their jobs. I am talking about, I have a Bachelor and Master in process and these jobs were offering $10-$11 an hour! An insult!

Difficult to get in contact with company when problems of billing arise. Some notifications not accurate as to description of what was needed. Difficult to look at ongoing billing and then hit with unexpected charges.

Put my resume out on indeed.com has been very useful and very helpful. Within the first two days of my profile and resume being on indeed.com I had multiple job offers. I waited the mode very selectively and very carefully. I actually went and interviewed positions as if I was hiring them. Some of the companies found that very interesting and very intriguing. I did a little bit of more research on some of the companies that I was looking at. Some work great some were bad and some would not even be recommended to my worst enemy. I have found my job on indeed.com. Very happy with my job and will recommend indeed.com by far to anybody.

Easy to find jobs and easy to apply. I found a great job using Indeed. If you are looking for a job I would suggest that you look up Indeed and type in what you're looking for and where and I'm sure you have plenty of options.

Indeed is great for uploading your resume information, however I received phone calls and texts from overseas scammers claiming to need employees. They originally contacted me via email and they stated they were IT recruiters.

I am a sixty-year-old woman who was looking for entry level work that I could do at home on a computer I put in all my information until Indeed and it did kept sending me out job that was not qualified for. They did not send me any jobs that met my requirement.

Great site! Easy to use, because you're able to narrow your job search, and not waste time with jobs that don't fit you. Their job recommendations that match your resume are wonderful. Used the site twice, and had a great job within two weeks both times!

My typical letter is 11 pages long. Was only able to get 5 pages into their system. THEN, the application DID NOT arrive at the intended division. I did not even get an interview. I have since not applied through INDEED, instead opting to send applications to employers through different sites, or means.

Indeed is the better choice. Monster is hard to filter & the advice sometimes is repetitive but goes nowhere. ZipRecruiter doesn't work with you only against you (hard to filter & find the jobs you only want).

Too many repeats of the same jobs but I did find a job. I guess they have to fill the pages so they list the same jobs multiple times. The best of all the job search companies, in my opinion.

I do not yet have a position acquired through Indeed but I can conveniently apply through my resume there.I do not believe they have live pets on customer service but I do still use Indeed. I think they could email less as repeat the emails but I use the site.

There are so many jobs listed and it is so easy to apply to most of them. I have always had really good luck using the site. Great variety of types and you can really narrow it down by area as well.

Please remove the name of BARRON TECH SERVE company. This is fraud company. Before one I joined this company with the help of Indeed. I was thankful to Indeed. But when I was got this was fraud. I am telling to remove for the sake of well wisher of Indeed. Because so people getting g job in Indeed. No want to cheat Indeed to poor people. So please remove... Don't follow money. Follow bless. From people who leading life from your site.

I am a small business owner, I used to advertise with Craigslist which used to work, but now it does not. Out of desperation I resorted to advertise at Indeed.com. Several times I picked a daily rate of $19.00 a day, and that's absolutely false, you think if you advertise for 3 days, it is supposed to be $19.00 times 3 equals $57.00, but you are dead wrong, because the amount could be much higher like $150.00 or so.

I recommend job searchers to look elsewhere. First of all, when you load your resume, it is translated into their system. Once uploaded, your resume will NOT appear anything like what you worked so hard to write. I have applied for over 200 jobs and only 10% of the applications were even reviewed by the employer. Either these companies are posting fake positions available or Indeed is failing to connect applicants to the employers.

It is impossible to remove credit card information from the Indeed site. It is impossible to close an Indeed account. This company charges what they please when they please. Their fraudulent activity needs to be reported. I am now calling my credit card company to report my card lost as the only way to remove my credit card.

I got a call from number of people from Kolkata regarding job in Singapore and they forwarded confirmation letter to me as if interview will be soon. I went to one consultant who calls from one place and who is in charge is sitting somewhere in a house. I was taken to the house where the family of grandfather, grandmother, man, woman were sitting. So by the family being available I went to top floor where I was taken by one person who said he is Muslim and the person who took interview said his name was Jehangir **. The woman who contacted me said she can't disclose the details of the persons and she says the names of those guys as Jatin, Rishab. My medical was taken and service charges were taken. Totally 8500 rupees. They even took my photo and charged me 300 rupees.

Since applying on Indeed for jobs, using the "easily apply" option, I NEVER hear from the employer. What I do get is a TON of out of state calls and texts. These people NEVER and I repeat -- NEVER -- leave a message even though they "claim" to be calling you about a job. I have now REMOVED ANY phone numbers off of any resume as it relates to Indeed, because obviously, someone's phishing off of the information on your resume and selling it. If you cannot post your resume or information on Indeed without the fear of it getting sent to scammers or even being accessible to scammers, simply put, stop posting it on Indeed. Because, frankly, none of this garbage started until my resume was put on Indeed. When my resume/cover letters were removed, so were the scam texts and emails stopped.

I wrote a review about a “company” I previously worked for. This company is notorious for being racist and terminating minorities at a alarming rate. When I wrote a review about this company and its behavior, it posted for approximately 2 to 3 days then disappeared. I then posted another, and within 2 days, it was gone. When I tried a third time, nothing posted. It was as if I was “blocked.” I know for a fact my previous company pays Indeed to remove any reviews that doesn’t say what they want. I worked there for 10 years and I’ve seen a lot.

First of all they charged us tons of money to post and get clicks, then they cancelled my job postings and disabled my accounts although I am a legitimate business owner and company/business entity. They won't disclosed why they suspended my account. Very discriminatory practice, and they can do whatever they want to small business owner like myself. They should be referred for investigation by WA State AG office.

We posted a number of jobs for our company on Indeed for free and paid. At first, it worked then Indeed starting playing with our account to get us to pay money and then pay "more" money. It's such an obvious scam that they "throttle" accounts. I think the State's Attorney Generals should look into this as it's dishonest. Pay for people who are not qualified to click on your job??? Why would anyone do that?

After receiving 4 resumes that did not match what I was seeking for in an employee, and noticing that I was being charged $188... I went on the website searching in vain to cancel my account. There was NO WAY to cancel the account. I checked with their company and was promised that my request would be honored. When I asked why I was charged so much... here is their written reply to me: "The way the campaign was set up, you are paying for the traffic on the site, not the applications. Indeed is keyword based search engine so when targeting the right candidates it is important to have the correct keywords in place (i.e. licensed insurance agent). Additionally, there is a pay-per application model." OUCH! Charge for traffic on indeed.com whether it benefits you or not. And make it impossible to cancel the account! What kind of a business model is that?

I graduated from university in May. I had plans. yada yada. I signed up for Indeed to find some work. Uploaded my resume, and the resume got jumbled up by the uploader. So I had to fix that. I have a pretty beefy resume, I served in the army, did some retail management, had a few internships. I'm a pretty dedicated worker in my opinion. I know most employers on Indeed are fairly jaded by many applicants not being dedicated to even show up for the job, but even if I had to cross the Sahara barefoot and naked, I'd still show up if the pay was good enough (I'm not expecting anything more than 40k per year).

Indeed Jobs website a real waste of time. Jobs links don't work and no way to apply to positions, just get redirected to the company website where you have to create an account that doesn't work. Federal Reserve jobs not accessible. No ability to apply to jobs that Indeed has posted on their website. Real waste of time and effort in the job search process. I have never found a job using Indeed website. Poor service. No support.

I made the mistake of using Indeed. Now I cant seem to close the account. I spoke with my account manage Sr. Account Executive Anthony ** with indeed he said he would close the account for me and when we were ready to call him back. Now I am reconciling my account here comes another charge month after month. Use Craigslist or some other way. This company Indeed was a joke. I found help from Craigslist for $25 all this money and no hires.

I have received responses asking me to email an AOL address and we all know people don't use those anymore. I have had text messages and emails that are very suspicious after doing research on every company.

I received a call from Indeed jobs stating my CV is been shortlisted and for the further process I need to pay a small application fee of Rs 10, I was fine with it since it's a small amount but later I saw the amount that was deducted was Rs. 2100 which is a very big amount. I have been trying to call that lady who called me but her phone is not reachable. Her name is Shardha and I believe this was from their Chandigarh office. This is my personal experience, anybody who views my review. I would request you please don't use their services and boycott them. Whether you are an employer or a job seeker you will definitely get conned.

I published an ad in Indeed.com as it was advised as "free". When creating the ad etc. I then got advised I had to set a daily limit after we got our first invoice of $26.64. The limit was set at $5.00 for this job. After getting another invoice $21.43 I postponed the ad as I was not getting any CV's at all. Well, turns out that as long as you do not close your job they will continue charging you. They failed to inform me that they are still charging my account. I am sure thousands of employers make the same mistake that I did and so the company must have made a lot of money from the employers' mistake. The company falsely advertise that the ad is "free" when it's not. It's a minimum daily fee of $5.00 a day, which is extremely expensive. Please do not use this site to advertise for employees as limited CV's got sent through and it is a complete rip off.

Indeed is a scam... I have submitted dozens of resumes through Indeed, and haven't even gotten a nibble. Also, once you upload a PDF resume, it appears in text format without any formatting. I'll be job hunting elsewhere...

I'm writing a review on Indeed.com and how they are a scam and completely unfair in their job posting review. I have been going back and forth with a Josh **, Client Success Specialist, who I contacted after receiving an email that my job did not comply with their terms and conditions. He shares with me that if my company is offering splits and commission fees paying for agent training then we would have to be a company that pays the agents and hourly wage in order to post on their website. I explain to him that in most agencies, there are no training wages being paid to a new agent (or if any very few do), he then takes my statement back to a review team.

I published an ad in Indeed.com and I set a limit to the budget for this job. Well, turns out that as long as you do not close your job they will continue charging you. For two months after I hired an employee they continued to charge my credit card and I did not receive any invoices or receipt. I found out by accident that my credit card is being charged by them. They failed to inform me that they are still charging my account. I am sure thousands of employers make the same mistake that I did and so the company must have made a lot of money from the employers' mistake.

Beware of the hidden monthly charges and add on charges for every time you reply to an email. I couldn't believe I had a bill for over $500.00 to post a job!! Absolutely outrageous. I wouldn't recommend this website to anyone, it's nothing but a money grab with and no results whatsoever. The applicants on Indeed were all non-committal and basically the people who can't find employment anywhere else. Mostly a bunch of losers.

I used Indeed.com to post a job. After posting a job using their no charge option, I got a call from one of their reps convincing me to pay a sponsor amount daily. They tried to explain how that would increase my effectiveness at getting quality candidates. I thought I would give it a try. I sponsored. The following 2 days later, I got another call asking how the response was and I stated I saw no difference in the candidates. He (Brett) said I did not get good improvement because I did not sponsor at the high rate that he recommended. He continued to try and convince me to spend more, and used examples that made no sense. He further said he looked at the applicant resumes and said he could see the quality of candidates were improved.

Indeed is an effective recruitment tool, but beware of hidden charges when posting jobs on Indeed. They will make it should like you are paying very little and then you are billed for hundreds of dollars. I am not so concerned with the return on investment... Just very concerned with the misperceptions they create and the fact that there is no cooperation when you suggest there was a misunderstanding. In fact my "chat" with Carlos was like chatting with a robot. Overall, not a satisfactory experience.

I have contacted Indeed.com numerous times regarding text messages from fraudulent people pretending to be another company for "background information" to hire me. One agent asked for me to do all of the research while the other simply did not care that sensitive information was being given out to these scammers. They have all of my information. Thank goodness I use my P.O. Box and not my home address. People should be warned.

One of my old jobs somehow got turned back on the second month??? They charged me $500 for this job advertising. They even commented that the listing would be down on the list and would not get good exposure but for some reason the charges were higher on this job than the new one with better exposure. I requested a refund for the $500. The put me on hold to grade my account. When they came back they said that since I had been checking the account regularly and had used the tutorials that they could give me a $500 gift card for future services. I explained to them that I was not happy because the quality of the candidates was poor and I wanted a refund. They did not care that I was going to give them bad reviews and never use their service again. DON'T USE THIS SERVICE. If I have seen this website before I signed up I would have avoided them.

Though I cannot prove it, I suspect Indeed manufactures "clicks" for charges. I have a budget of $500.00 per month for multiple job offerings in the construction industry. Somehow I always manage to hit that $500, EVERY MONTH, notwithstanding the lack of inquiries, in some cases I get a couple of emails a month, when prior I would get 15-20 and I would search resumes for the same money. Now that they increased the charge to view resumes by 233% and 150% and I don't search, it should have gone down. It used to cost $1 to contact an applicant, now it's a monthly subscription fee of either $100 for up to 30 contacts which is an increase of 233% or $250.00 for up to 100 contacts which is an increase of 150%.

I never go out of my way to write a bad review, I just don't have time for that. BUT in this case, I will make time, what a nightmare this company Indeed.com is. Try to cancel the services after you authorized the charge to your credit card for a job posting and you continue to get bills for months. What a scam, there is no customer service, contacting them by phone is difficult at best and the representatives are clearly comfortable with any client complaints. As for the resume responses we received for a simple skilled mechanical type position posted, they felt staged at best and people not looking for actual jobs.

I have no idea how these guys even got my credit card number. I'm not sure if they have other fake websites, but please do not use this resource for your job hunt, or job posting. They have no contact info on their site... That's always a problem. They continue to try and charge my card for $100-$200 at a time. Total scam site. I doubt their job postings are even real.

My brother and me have interviewed 15 candidates for 2 job positions with Indeed. The candidates are of poor quality and often do not show up for an interview and fail to give a courtesy call that they won't be making it!

They are the top worst of the job boards when most companies are supposedly perusing for their next hire. Unlike Monster or CareerBuilder which allow a simple resume upload, even multiple resumes, Indeed plain overall sucks. Their platform is backwards archaic. Your resume upload turns into a lopsided "reformatted" page, with your information scattered all over the place, forcing you to waste time editing everything. Just an utter joke. Only use Indeed to job search, NOT resume upload.

I have used Indeed both as a hiring manager and while looking for work. The reality is that Indeed has hit critical mass and along with LinkedIn, has become one of the top two employment websites. I've hired people using Indeed, and I've been hired using Indeed. I do agree that their pricing policy can be shady which is why it's imperative that you track it closely when using it to hire people. Make it clear to your Indeed rep that you are not willing to spend more than x dollars and establish it through emails, so you have something in writing. If you're looking for work, be sure to check the resume formatting because when you upload your resume it won't necessarily look the way you uploaded it.

I have applied to thousands of different positions in my area over the past two years and have received one interview. Several of the businesses that I followed up with told me they never had a position open and they never received my resume. I have extensive experience and a B.A. in paralegal yet have not gotten any viable leads from Indeed.com. I would highly suggest people find an alternative method of finding employment.

I called a company regarding a resume I sent and they stated that they never had that job. Someone is using a company name, posting an ad for the job and poor candidates like me are sending in my resume. I've APPLIED to OVER 1,000 jobs on Indeed over the last 8 years and I never was hired for one and I received 5 screening calls. They're RUNNING TV ads that are fake and need to be shut down!!!

Indeed.com turns out to be a deceitful, disappointing potential resource for the very limited amount of potential employee pool. Indeed.com now wants to CHARGE me to access resumes. Now, am I right for thinking it should be the job seekers that have to pay to get their resume visible? Why should I pay to look at resumes? This source has been available for free for the last few years...out of the blue I lose access and am being asked to pay to look at resumes. NO THANKS, indeed.com. YOU ARE NOT GETTING A DIME FROM ME. CHARGE THE JOB SEEKERS FOR THE RIGHT TO POST. Stop wasting the employers time, and stop begging us for money. We get enough of that from the employee pool.

As with all others on this site with similar experiences utilizing this company, we too have fallen victim to the devious practices of Indeed.com. As stated by others, cancelling your account is not an option according to the so called account managers with this company. They will charge you what they wish to without pre-approval and state it is predicated upon previous results. Our results were limited to zero and yet we were continuing to be charged.

Worst thing about Indeed.com is the fact that there is no option to cancel your account. In fact it's very hard to figure out how to stop them from continually billing your credit card. This is by design. In the long run they will ruin their reputation as a legitimate business. I suggest reporting the card stolen or lost and getting a new one. It's the only way to get rid of this company.

I received a bill for almost 200.00 dollars after posting an ad on Indeed. Word of advice NEVER EVER supply these crooks with your credit card. They have a complicated and deliberately CONfusing billing structure that is designed to rip off small business. You get tons of applicants that are in no way qualified for the position. I will be disputing this charge with my credit card company. I've never felt so swindled in my life.

Additional fees are not clearly explained - While Indeed offers a broad exposure to potential employees, I was very surprised to learn what I thought was a one-time $20 fee accrued to more than a $275 fee before I noticed this. Since the position I posted was local and low-paying, the fees are not justified. Be cautious and read the fine print on this one!

Posted a job opening this past Monday for a technical coordinator and dispatcher for my business. Within 24 hours I had over 100 resumes and a bill for well over $200.00 from Indeed. We were very specific regarding what qualifications we were looking for in our candidates in our posting. We received resumes from bartenders, home health aides, lawn mowers, kitchen workers, teachers, sandwich decorators, etc.. There were only two candidates that applied that had any technical experience and they had less than 4 years in unrelated fields.

Every time I have promoted a job listing on Indeed, they take it as an open invitation to charge my card at will. When you post a job they ask if you want to promote a job listing. Promoting a Job means you are agreeing to pay a certain amount per qualified applicant that applies to your post. You can put a limit per day and how many days you are promoting it. Indeed completely ignores this and charges ridiculous amounts. I paid the first invoice and specifically informed Indeed that I was not happy. I informed them that I did not wish to promote the listing anymore and that they were not to charge my Credit Card again. Less than a month went by and they charged my card more than double the first amount. With all of the ways to run job listings with better results, STAY AWAY FROM INDEED!!

You will spend weeks and hours applying without knowing how long the potential employers will keep you. Tremendous waste of time. Some require hours just to send a resume. I am looking for other ways. This is not the way. In fairness applying for jobs has become sterile and robotic. It is a shame, for there is real connection just time wasted.

I've advertised on Indeed reluctantly over the last couple years. I'd say less than 5% of applicants are qualified for the job, and less than 2% are qualified for the job, and actually know what job they applied for. You could require an MBA and a degree from Harvard in mathematics, and you'd still have high school kids with no experience applying, and paying for those applications. Example: I was hiring a management position for my retail business, it required 1 year of management or 2 years of retail, and living in my city. Out of the 50 applications I got, 5 met my requirements. Of that 5, only 2 actually were interviewed because the other 3 didn't even know they applied for the job. That campaign cost me $100USD and I never did hire from it. My last job post had about 100 applicants, and maybe 4-5 were worth interviewing, but barely. The amount of time to review these 'applications' was hardly worth the effort and definitely not worth the money.

Indeed job site advertises for your comfort level of budget. They restrict a minimum of $5/day. At the end of the month, they had charged me over $80 and none of their candidates worked out. I could not and did not hire anyone from their site. I could had spent $25 on Craigslist for the same result.

Indeed online site uses the bait and switch tactic. If you do not read all the fine print pages... You will get hundreds of dollars in charges adding up very quickly. I filled out a per day amount and a total per posting but this did not matter. In one month my credit card was charged over $1100... And the candidates were not appropriate for my job either!! TOTAL SCAM!!! ATTORNEY GENERALS AND CLASS ACTION SUITS WILL BE COMING SOON!!

I wrote a review for a previous employer, Texas Silencer Company, which was negative. I worked for this company for 8 months and they owe me over $60,000. The CEO, Seth ** committed fraud in failing to pay me and another sales rep. I am trying to warn others so that they do not fall into the same trap. Seth ** outright lied to me and all our customers. Is there a reason why they will not print negative reviews on employers? The positive reviews are obviously written by the executive team.

Beware of the Double-Talk and the Bait and Switch. I advertised a job listing on the Indeed website and we were told the Daily Rate $30.00 selected was simply a ceiling to ensure we would not spend in excess of that amount, but our actual charges would be based on the amount of clicks we received per day. If you get this double-talk be sure to ask the cost per click, because the inference is your click charge cannot exceed .20 - .30 cents per click. WRONG!!!

I have worked with Indeed over the last three months and posted three positions. I have "sponsored" all of them which means we have a budget and pay per click for anyone looking at our postings. Two of these three positions is "open" and yet I cannot find them anywhere on Indeed when I specifically search for them and I've tried to contact Indeed over chat, two phone calls, and email with no success. I think the interface they have for employers is great but it's frustrating not being able to find my postings that we are paying for and even more frustrating not being able to talk to a customer support person.

Our business recently posted for help on Indeed. We chose a $50.00 for part time help. We had went through that budget in a week with several applicants, yet not one followed up, even though we did on our end and they "claimed" they were interested. Concerned that where we were only offering part time we open the position up to full time and added another $50.00 to our budget. The same exact thing happened with only one applicant showing up and when he was done his interview he asked our manager to sign a paper to show he had been there for an interview! Makes total sense! These applicants are applying in order to get their unemployment benefits. When I contacted Indeed they said it was good in that it enables me to disqualify candidates! They were not even interested to being with. It is like throwing your money out of the window! Do not bother!

I recruit home based people for my company, across a number of countries. Firstly, there is no allowance for home-based work and I have to choose a city in that country, which means I limit my options for employees. There needs to be a home-based/telecommute option. But that's not the main thing. When I started I was only recruiting for Australia, but then my role expanded and I had to recruit for other countries. I placed notices for a few of these and at some point noticed that I had no response. I had to go into the site to find that my notice was not visible and I was expected to pay to make it visible. No explanation.

I registered as an employer on Indeed.com, due to their reach and their claim that you can post unlimited free job postings. I went ahead, upon approval, to post 5 jobs for courier drivers on their site. I got a call from their sales rep, saying that paying for job postings will yield more candidates. I told them, that as a startup, I do not yet have a budget, but upon funding, we could end up being a lucrative customer for them.

I signed up to find work in the arts (visual, performing and art history) and you would not believe what I was sent as potential offers... CNA, CPA, Automotive mechanic, cook, you get the idea, whatever, and not even in my State yet alone in my City. What the heck? Obviously I unsubscribed but I felt oddly cheated, as one has expectations.

I had been using Indeed to hire for courier positions for the last several months. With a "free" ad, I was receiving a steady stream of potential candidates. We have several site locations across the United States and due to the nature of our industry, turnover rate is higher than we would like it to be. After several months of posting ads, Indeed froze our account and stated that all our jobs needed to be sponsored from now on. I was contacted by their sales rep and after discussing our company needs, he indicated he was going to note the account and my ads should be fine. That never happened.

Indeed's basic service is just okay. I have never really gotten very many quality candidates from the service. Zip Recruiter does far better. Worth using for a few extra hiring options until... my account at Indeed was hacked. Apparently an issue for them based on web search. The customer service is horrible. Management has taken the stand that it is the customer's problem. No help resolving, took forever to get them to agree to credit fees billed to credit card, no info on how it happened ("we can't see anything"), and ask for my credentials to other on-line accounts to verify my account with them. Why would I give them other credentials when they can't protect my current credentials? Refused to close my business account at the end. BEWARE!

I am an employer and have been advertising on Indeed for almost 2 years now. It finally hit me today after paying hundreds of dollars for fake resumes. I get daily emails of all potential candidates who fit my job requirements, when I email them back for $1, I get a response back the next day always saying "so and so reviewed your email and at this point is not interested", all those $1 add up to hundreds of dollars. I went back for months and checked my email and I never got a single candidate responding they are interested.

My experience has been negative thus far to say the least, so I ask, is it the market, is it me, is it the good ol’ boys club of America or is it my resume. I was told my resume was too detailed by coworkers, friends, family, foes etc. I was told many times by employers that I didn’t qualify for a minimum wage entry level part-time job or that position has been filled already, even though they’re still advertising it’s available in bold letters. I think INDEED wholeheartedly knows the jobs offered on their website are around 30% legitimate and 70% bs.

My sales rep contacted me via telephone and email on a regular basis until I sponsored an advertisement. After sponsoring the ad for two employees I have been unable to reach my rep via email or telephone, which I find extremely unprofessional. Sponsoring an ad with this company turned out to be an expensive and pointless use of my resources and time. I can't even get the rep to cancel our sponsored ad, which was requested several days ago. In my opinion a complete waste of time.

Looking for a job in this page is annoying. They post that they have tons of jobs available but it is just the same job post over and over. Too many junk jobs. Only a few good ones. Even when you type what are you looking for still showing tons on unrelated jobs. Not good!

I have been recruiting for Hi-Tech companies in the Bay Area for a very long time. I tried using Indeed to post one tech job last month. What a waste of money and time. I got 3 candidates, none of which were close to being matched to the criteria for the role. I was charged by clicks which is a joke. As anyone can click on a job regardless of their background as it matches to need the need of the role. VERY expensive and absolutely no results.

Indeed has some really outstanding jobs up. However, I have applied for many jobs in the manufacturing industry in having all the qualifications and more than enough experience no one has never ever called me for employment, in being told that if you don't know anyone at these particular jobs you have absolutely no chance of getting on with the company. I think they are Missing out on some really good quality experienced people because they don't have an inside referral, not sure if it's the different companies or if Indeed is presenting themselves to be not a legitimate company.

I wanted to try this out for recruiting for a major employer. I decided to post for free for a few days to see if there was any positive feedback. They promptly suspended my posting for "misleading" content (completely untrue) and asked me to appeal, promising resolution within 48 hours. They never responded to appeal but, instead, shopped my email out to other recruiting sites soliciting me. I also suspect that if I had spent thousands of dollars on them, that my posting would meet all their requirements! As I said, I believe this is some type of scam being run. BEST TO AVOID!

I was using INDEED to recruit both caregivers and nurses nationwide, and had an agreement to which I was actually exceeding my monthly spend. I was then called by my account manager, Casey, and told that they were no longer going to abide by the agreement, and now wanted 20 times as much money per month as what I was paying (which was over $500/month). They said they could do nothing for me and to either take it or leave it. So, I left it... and suggest other business owners do the same. With customer service like that, I do not expect INDEED will be in business much longer.

I tried out the service for two weeks. Not a single legitimate applicant. I believe the company itself makes up some fake profiles of a completely blank applicant profile and duplicated that with a very similar name. When you called to stop the "services " and ask for a refund. I was asked to wait for a follow up call only to get another person telling me it is my lack of description that yielded no real applicants. The trick here is to have you continue the charade and see they will claim more clicks on your job and collect more money. I insisted on refund and not $100 credit for future use and I was again asked to wait for see a third person who simply emailed and said there will be no refunds.

I am a business owner. I chose Indeed to place an ad for new employees. My account was set up and my bank account was charged the fee. My ad was live. I was able to review resumes and send automatic emails to potential employees. A day later, I attempted to email some more potential employees only to find out that my account was suspended. I called the office and was told by their rep that Indeed had made an error and they would correct it within 24 hours. THEN...I received about a dozen various emails with all kinds of conflicting messages such as: "Your account has been suspended/we need a copy of a utility bill, a business license, to prove that this is your business/we have no ad listed for your business," and THEN a message stating that my account was permanently suspended and there is no need for me to reply.

Tried to post an ad to hire a new employee, but my ad was rejected and it said the only way to post it was to sponsor it. I called and they said I needed to make some changes to my ad and they would submit a ticket to fix the issue. I placed a new ad, and the same problem. This has taken me hours and I still have not been able to post a free ad. 6 months ago, I sponsored an ad and my card was being charged for months after I closed the listing. I asked to have my credit card removed from my account and they refused and said they do not have a way to remove credit card info once it is in the system. I had to cancel my credit card and order a new one. I like the service when it is working. But they have a lot of bugs to work out to make this service useful.

I am starting up a recruit and business solutions company and registered an account with Indeed. Without any explanation, my account was suspended. I appealed and was told the decision was final. Not impressed.

Indeed is vague and allows business or companies to advertise misleading job openings. I recently graduated with a bachelor degree and have used Indeed to obtain employment. I have applied to many jobs. I have now went to 4 job interviews and the position advertised totally changes when I show up to the interview appointment. Indeed needs to do a better job when posting a job opening for companies and ensure that they are advertising on the up and up and being honest and not luring people in for job interviews on misleading advertisement. Very disappointed and dissatisfied.

They send phony resumes to you 80% of the time, you pay them $1.00 for the contact and it's fake. You will get a response they're not uninterested at this time. Just screwed me for another 240.00. No hires. No real contacts. Never again. Save your money.

The response time of interested employers is awesome. The search filters on Indeed.com are ridiculous, though. A search for jobs related to "Ministry" yield prep and line cooks for a local resort. "Executive Assistant" gave me a listing for a glorified dishwasher. Their system cannot discern the difference between companies (for reviews, etc) if even one word in the company names match (example: Emerald vs Emerald Youth Foundation) yielding a string of listings not at related to whichever company you're trying to search. For as long as Indeed has been around, you'd think they would provide a way to filter OUT certain listings (example: I don't want to go through staffing companies which tend to do a lot of bait and switch listings).

Applying for jobs via indeed.com proved to be a waste of time. After going back to view my submissions the next day, 9 out of 10 were no longer available. They should update their jobs and make sure they are still active rather than just getting a large quantity of postings and wasting the time of people applying.

After trying Indeed for a couple of years, it has dawned on me that this site does not work as they say. Advanced searches that you use "exact phrase" does not work. You still get the same results. This site is useless for me and probably anyone looking for a job.

I have used Indeed.com for a few years looking for a part-time job. I know a lot of jobs on there I am overqualified for but ones that are even entry level or ones that I am right on par with, I apply, wait to hear back, hear nothing and see the posting's still listed 30 plus days later... This company and the companies that post "jobs" on there are all jokes... Love the unemployment rate in Upstate New York (sarcasm). For the legit companies that are supposedly "hiring" on Indeed.com, update your jobs after 30 plus days and start reaching out to the people that are actually applying and fit the role like me. Single mother here trying to raise an 11 year-old and it's getting tough when NO company even responds to you when you have the qualifications... Unreal.

We were looking to hire and placed attempted to place an advert. They told us that we were in violation of their TOS and that we would need to resubmit our information. We followed all of their directions and yet continue to be denied the opportunity to use their service. The process has been ongoing for over 2 weeks and now have given up altogether on the process and decided to go a different route. I called them several times and nothing came of it. Incredibly disappointed with my experience with them.

I have been using Indeed to post jobs for a few years now and have always felt a little bit ripped off by the service, but as it seems to be the only way to get any sort of resumes I've felt a little held hostage by them. We pay for clicks and resumes, but we get clicks and resumes from mostly non qualified candidates. It usually costs me $300+ to hire one candidate.

This company is a data collecting service that DOES NOT help you get a job. I’ve been applying for jobs on Indeed for over a year and haven’t gotten one since. I have more than enough experience in the field that I’ve applied in, and I get more emails than I ever do actual interviews. This will inevitably come back to me (maybe it’s your resume, etc). Bottom line: this company collects your information and doesn’t help you get a job.

Looking to hire an office manager as the owner of a financial advisory firm, I tried to post the position on Indeed.com. After setting up an account I received an email that the post did not meet their quality standards and my account was disabled. There was a way to appeal so I did and received another email saying it was still denied and the decision was final. Wish I had seen all the negative reviews on this site before I wasted my time. Add my voice to the growing chorus of one star reviews for this stupid company!

I had the same experience as a user below. When you post a job, it is very easy to sign up for a job sponsorship. It is not at all clear what the charges are for this - it is a daily max amount that they give you. This ended up adding over $1000 to one of my postings. You don't realize it until you get your credit card bill. They do not invoice you, when you go onto the website to try and figure out what you were billed for, it is not transparent at all - the invoices are very generic. When I called they told me that was what I signed up for, and how I can change it on future postings. At this point, I would never use them again - I feel like the whole thing borders on a scam.

My husband and I posted one ad for a nanny 4 months ago. We tried to remove the add a week later, after finding someone on care.com. Four months later, numerous support calls, and thousands of dollars charged they still have not closed our account. I have been told our account does not exist, yet somehow I am charged every month? This is an outrage. DO NOT get stuck in this scam!!! There are so many better, more user friendly sites out there.

I’m an employer who, like most, just wanted to post a job. I paid to have it sponsored. Not even 10 minutes go by, and I receive an email letting me know that my account has been disabled for not meeting the quality standards Indeed holds. I appealed the decision, seeing as how I made a straightforward posting that called for individuals who have at least a year of customer service experience, and listed the benefits and responsibilities of working at our office.

Let me start by saying that I know not every employers experience is a bad one so I can only speak on what happened with me and my business. We dealt with a rep who was very customer service oriented and did a great job in helping with our postings, she was very attentive so that was the temporary upside to this experience. My wife and I own an automotive service and repair shop so we had 2 postings for technicians. If you already use Indeed then you know that it's a pay as you go type of service which may seem great in the beginning but once it all works out it becomes quite the joke. Our listing was not only VERY specific as to what we were looking for in a candidate, but we also listed qualification questions that the person would have to answer so as to meet our criteria.

Indeed canceled my account with no explanation. I spent days of time and work to get people to interview for two job positions I have... and this happens. It's ridiculous. It's hard enough finding folks in the job market, without being jerked around.

I have been using Indeed.com for such long time as I used to get a lot of responses and believed it to be the No. 1 site when it comes in term of free job posting. But for few days I have been trying to post free jobs in Indeed from various mail IDs including official and personal and every time they are disabling my job posts by a message without giving any relevant reasons for doing the same. And when I tried to get to them via mail they sent across a reply that not any further reasons will be given for their actions. It's shocking how Indeed are treating their long time users. I want to get some relevant answers or else I am going to disable all my accounts in Indeed and vow not to use it again and also advise my peers to do the same.

I posted a job on INDEED, as I believe it was FREE... However, all the way down at the end of your REVIEW posting is a small box that is AUTOMATICALLY CHECKED to SPONSOR your job. There is NO verification that what you just posted to be sponsored would drive up a daily cost! It wasn't until the Account Representative from INDEED called me "upsell services" did I learn that I was accumulating 18/per day in sponsorship. I want to add that although I saw a slight upsurge in resumes, they were all candidates requiring VISA! I freaked out when I learned I had amassed a fortune in charges and the only way to review your account is to log into account services!

During my job search, I wanted to love Indeed. Nothing ever came from Indeed. That aside, my main complaint is when I was actively looking for a job, I read the company’s reviews. Of course you take it with a grain of salt, but I still found them useful. My current employer had one borderline negative/neutral review and a few other reviews that were decent.

I've been with Indeed off and on for two years, not been successful in finding a job through them. Many opportunities it seems but very very little response and very little reality from its postings, I'm not seeing much reply given my resume is very good. I am not sure but I feel people are stealing information personal information, reason I have this view is I get all kinds of calls from sales people that I have never ever contacted to begin with?

As of yesterday, I ended my relationship with Indeed after 5 years? I wanna say? I ended our relationship. I loved Indeed. It was so organized and it seemed liked these people were on their stuff. They knew what jobs were hiring, and was on time with when the employers would post. Indeed made you felt like you was the only one. But after so many attempts with this app and just bad news from the employers, I gave up and went back to my first love. (MANPOWER) Which was yesterday. I filled out and job app for customer service and I got it the next day. I feel so relieved too. I feel great and ready to rock after so many months of unemployment, it feels good to work again. I cheated on Indeed all the time. I have needs that need to be met. I went to Craigslist. He would always satisfy my needs with a job but only temporarily.

So… Indeed has an app called Job Spotter. If you take pictures of businesses with help wanted signs they are supposed to give you credit towards an Amazon gift card. Well... Two businesses that I submitted were deleted and never processed. It’s a big waste of time of an app.

I subscribed to post a job. The online site is poorly design and pricing not upfront. A sale representative called me and tried to improve my result. I wind up paying for a new plan with a fix dollar cost everyday and no result. I paused to fix my description and somehow it was not paused and I was charged lots of money. This company is a scam. I called the company and their customer service is poor. No refund for no clicks and $300 later I have nothing.

As an employer, I've always been fond of Indeed. However our recent experience has felt like a waste of time. Despite having written in detail what our advertised job entailed, we were then asked for clarification as well as proof of the company address via bills. All very well and said, however, they then refused to post the ad based on the type of role, mentioning policies that were not present in their posting rules. I was left with a very foul taste in my mouth, this is one business owner who will be steering clear of Indeed in the future.

We are in a very rural area, and the service only sends out leads in our area. Everyone in our area already knows we have a job available. And Indeed staffer called to inform me how the system works. I'm disappointed they charged me a hefty bill. This might be a good service in a large urban area, but they are misleading to us folks in rural America.

I have been applying for jobs and I get to the question test area. They send me to sbarring where you can't take the test. There is not a next button like stated. I've wasted a lot of time with this unfit website!!!

As a temp agency, I am looking to fill a variety of positions. When I send the description of the job to Indeed, I am sent candidates that aren't even CLOSE to what I'm looking for. Big time waster.

I was helping a friend set up an Indeed Ad. I used my card. I set it for a $50 spend (Assuming it was a fair budget). Next thing you know my card is charged $400. In addition, after having reconfirmed to cancel my account, they proceeded to charge me an additional $170. Company is a rip off.

This Company should be shut down for the scamming they do. I posted a job and made the fatal mistake of having sponsored it to get more job applicants. My credit card was declined in May 2016. I then figured it was declined that was the end of it. I then did another sponsored in Sep 2017 and all was well until they took off over 600 in charges off my credit card. Apparently they kept trying to take out the money for the May 2016 and once the credit card was paid off they said I owed all the money backdated from then! I called screaming and yelling and got some of the money back. I told them to close my account and not use my credit card again. Guess what another 28 bucks off my credit card today.

I found Indeed easy to use and having job openings sent directly to my email inbox was convenient and saved time. Although it took some time I finally got a full time job in my field.

I submitted over 50 resume responses in one day, continued on daily basis for over a week, including all that were sent to my email claiming to be "chosen for me" which I assume in relation to my skill level. To date the ONLY responses were regarding directly apply to individual site. Seems odd even in mathematical observation that not any submitted were inquired? My skills are above reproach, personal/business references perfect/cover letters critiqued to job? Similar were sent on other sites and responded? I'm not "upset" due to lack of employment, it's just odd in little to no inquiries here, but from Career site replied with interest.

I am a business owner, when I posted an ad to fill vacancies in my staff, everything went well for about a week, and then without notice they sent me an email stating that my account had been disabled. The email stated that I had violated one of their quality standard policies. So I went to their policies on posting jobs, and I had not violated any of their policies. So then I called them to see what was going on. Then they told me that you have to have a business license. I own a home based business and I am not required to have a business license. I need to get some ads out. What do I do? Suggestions welcome.

I applied for a position via Indeed.com. I had a bad feeling about via Indeed.com. After thinking about putting my resume out on Indeed.com, I became concerned. Due to the problems with so many data breaches, I went directly to the company site to ensure that the position was posted, and the position was NOT posted on their site. I proceeded to call the company and confirmed the position did not exist. The position does not exist!!! Is this fraud or data baiting? I don't think they (Indeed) can do this, but they do.

Was contacted by Indeed employee and asked for registration. They only referred 2500 rs. As registration with no other charges. After registration I received a call from other Indeed employee for verification and asking for Rs. 8000 more. I requested them that I am not in a financial condition to pay this amount and then refused to assist me. I felt cheated and dishearten as how the company like Indeed is making money out of job seekers. Really disappointed.

There are way too many fake ads and scams on this website, along with jobs that require unrealistic qualifications. My experience has been an absolute nightmare. I've applied to so many jobs, would barely receive any replies, and if I do, it's usually a scam or a rejection letter. I think that most of these jobs are asking for way too many skills for low pay and so they won't have to train potential employees. It's an absolute waste of time and exhausting for job seekers such as myself. If you have no/minimum working experience, do not even bother with this website or jobs posted on there.

I placed an ad on Indeed. Placed same ad on 3 different sites. I got 16 responses from Indeed in less than 2 months. All called set up appointment. Not one showed. Not one canceled. I have been hiring for 20 years. I have never seen anything like this. Something is not right with this site. At this point I am questioning if they have not just hired people to respond.

My experience with interviewing potential employees from Indeed.com has been extremely disappointing. I scheduled interviews with 5 different employees and none of them showed up. The quality of candidates that I've found on Indeed.com is severely lacking.

The site is really great. The best that I've seen but if you need help for any reason, be prepared to look really hard for a contact # and when you call there are 2 options. Option #1 will hang up on you, option #2 will tell you to go to indeed.com/help where you think you might get help from someone and still don't! It is a troubleshooting page that had none of my issues on there which were- I could not log in and payment methods would not work! Super annoying and time-consuming which I do not have time for. Whatever happened to real customer service? Not even an email? And I hate emails. I'm not dealing with any company anymore if they don't have real customer service help or care. It's too time-consuming... wasting money and time.

I've been a long time user of Indeed for job searching. I set up an account to post a job in which I was recruiting for a Marketing Affiliate. They disabled my account and provided no reason why. When I appealed I was denied again without a reason provided. When I contact them again to ask why I was told the decision was final and again was not provided a reason why. Nor was I able to rectify whatever I did wrong. They just disabled my account. Without Reason.

I applied for a job with TCS Management. They contacted me back via email saying that the job was filled but they had a client looking for a personal assistant by the name John **. I emailed "John **" saying that I was interested in the position. He emailed me back saying he was out of town and would interview me in two weeks. Yesterday out of the blue I get an email saying a check is coming in the mail for me, I get confused because who sends someone a check they never met, but I said ok maybe he wants me pay bills or something, so the checks comes in the mail with a different name on the envelope, and a different name on the check.

Website is way too hard to use. I posted a few jobs and they asked me about a monthly budget??? I had no idea what to do. I had no idea what I was gonna be charged and it looks like it was about $50.00 for one month. So I went in to cancel the account and stop payments but that is even harder than anything. No cancel account button. No way to stop payments. Just horrible. Now I have to wait and call them tomorrow because their customer service is closed. I would NOT recommend indeed to anyone even my worst enemy.

Before they updated the site, Indeed wouldn't ask for your for SSIN/PIN when filling out an application. The site made a new change to require to put an SSIN/PIN number down before you submit the application. I don't think that this is fair for the applicants, because what if for some reason you can't find your SSIN/PIN? It just loses convenience for the consumer and it hurts their business in the long run. The good thing about the site I have to say is that its reliable and fast, and it offers locations and fits your requirements (most of the time). But I have to say that I've lost all hope for this site, and I think they should just retire the forced SSIN/PIN thing and/or just make it optional. It just makes it much less convenient for the consumer, and it makes it less secure in case if Indeed gets hacked. (This is my first review, by the way.)

Used this site for first time recently and thought it was real easy to navigate. Finding positions to upload resume was easy. Some employers sites are just too much. One took almost 45 min to complete. It would be nice to know this before getting in middle and realizing what's happening. It's not Indeed's fault but a heads up would be greatly. Those sites on this site could wait til interview process starts. I suppose this is their way of weeding people out at this point.

After a lengthy history using Indeed for free/cheap I decided to try out their posted job ad and hire services. Will NEVER make that mistake again. My customer rep persuaded our small business to post ads that ended up costing us thousands of dollars and then made no apologies or concessions in response except to say they had tried to call me. This company should and almost certainly will fail as more employees are exposed to their unethical and unfair practices. Employers and candidates deserve much better. And cannot get much worse.

A fake job ads on Indeed that says “Music Teacher, Indian Idol Academy - Mumbai, Maharashtra” is fake. After you apply to the position, they send an email like "In order to join Indian Idol Academy, it is compulsory to join a training program called Music Mentor Certification Program. This program will cost you Rs. 10,000. For more details, log on to our website - www.indianidolacademy.in. Indian Idol Academy offers a host of opportunities to those who pass this training program. Join our program now and pay only Rs. 2000 registration fee." Many people applied and came to attend the workshop. None has been given any jobs. They have locked their office and now organizing it in different places. Please be aware.

My experience with Indeed has been an awful one. I reviewed my online bank statement and noticed that I have multiple charges on my account by Indeed. One amount around $30 and another amount around $500.00. Never did I give my account information to Indeed, nor would I ever have. This company is a complete fraud and I advise everyone to steer clear. I reported them to the BBB and their response to me was, "Well, you will need to contact your bank regarding fraudulent charges on your account." Well... obviously THIS IS COMMON SENSE and information I already knew. My concern was not that, that was a step I had already completed.

I place a job ad with them I believe on June 1st, however I wasn't really sure on the billing. My first applicant was not even remotely from nearby. Actually I believe it was the Middle East. I tried to cancel it. Couldn't figure it out. So I believe it was June 2 I post the ad. I could not figure how to withdraw the ad. So I sent a email and then another one. It took like 14 days. I just was billed 244.00. When I finally got an email back from them I believe it was Joe was the name. He said it would be taken care of. The person I called today was Mike or the names could be switched. I told him there are 6 applicant open and I never reviewed them. So wouldn't that show I wasn't using the service?? Since I never open the other and I did hire Achbar or whatever his name was. I don't have a branch in the Middle East. I'm just small family auto repair facility.

I had been using Indeed since 2010 and have spent thousands on the site (with traction mind you). Then all of a sudden, my account is suspended. Nothing changed on my end, however apparently the guidelines have changed with Indeed. When I had asked as to why my account was suspended, they did not respond with any reasoning (multiple reps). It's like they are told from higher up not to respond back. What disturbs me even more is that our competitors are on the site still. This is the worst back office operation I have seen in a while. The company I represent is a 150yrs old and we are offering a career opportunity for individuals looking for work for heaven's sake. We are not MLM and have received the most trusted brand award 8 years in a row. They really need to change how they manage relationships with clients. Not good business...

I applied for a part time job on indeed.com at Chick-fil-a. Received an email with a job offer requesting a copy of my ID and SS card. It also asked for me to schedule my drug screen and pay for it through PayPal. Well, I didn't realize it was a scam until AFTER I emailed my ID and SScard to chickfila. recruits@hotmail.com. Now what do I do? Wait for my identity to be stolen? After I thought about it, I called the Chick-fil-a to ask if they ever do a job offer that way? Of course the answer was "NO". Does anyone know what I can do about this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Indeed.com needs to screen their job posting.

I have been trying Indeed, and I am glad I did not fall for their pricing scam which everyone else seems to have! Every applicant we have tried to interview has turned out to be a FLAKE! We had 18 applicants for our job and NOT ONE of them EVER showed up for the interview! This site is a total waste of time (and money it seems)! Buyer beware!!

They disabled my account, and I lost all access to the assets that we supposedly received from the site. When I called them to at least try and get a refund since they did not give me what they promised. They said they cannot refund any funds. They also charged my card for 45 days straight even though I set a 7 day limit. They are one big scam company.

Our corporate account was disabled saying our ad for advertising sales people did not meet their standards. We responded back with all of our contact info, our website, years in business (18), the fact that we also own an insurance agency and a marketing company. Our ad clearly states it's not MLM, no fees, no gimmicks, we just want the best sales reps working for us. This is a brand new project that took off over night. So we are in need of reps asap.

I did not post a job on Indeed. In fact, I had never even heard of them until last week. Some bozo walked by my building, saw that the body shop next door had put out a sign for employment. The idiot then snapped a pic and said my biz was hiring. We aren't, but now I am receiving 10+ calls a day, people stopping by dropping off resumes. This has cost me way too much time with my employees having to answer the phone and tell people the ad was a mistake. There is no way for me to take the ad down since I did not create it.

Indeed.com used to be a reputable business, very disappointed in their advertising messages and charges. They do not provide qualified candidates as in the past and their charges have changed without explanation. Their representative when I contacted them offered assistance for how to better advertise after the advertisement had been completed, this help would have been better appreciated before the advertisement rather than after it failed. Please beware of this company and their vagueness to explain, very expensive advertising charges and they're refusing to refund improper charges.

I've been using indeed.com for a little while now and have been very disappointed with the following: Job posting costs: I never know what I'm paying until the bill comes in and it's been outrageous considering the poor results I'm receiving. I've had 1 "qualified" applicant that we've hired. I put in for a budget of $100/month and was charged almost $300 in one month due to "clicks." Completely BLEW MY BUDGET! Not the first time that happened. I've spent over $500 (with a budget I entered of $100/mo ) and was only able to hire the single applicant.

In reading some reviews in regards to Indeed.com I am going to add my irritation with that site as well as with other job searching sites. I really do not appreciate jobs being written in another language or making it mandatory to speak another language. It's ridiculous.

I was posting two legitimate job offers for some non-techie friends. Indeed disabled my account and wanted documentation, tax ID numbers, etc. to prove that I was affiliated with those businesses. While I understand their need for quality job postings, these were two very good positions (one involved a trip to Hawaii all expenses paid for a physically disabled friend) that could have benefited someone in need of a job. When I replied to their emails, they didn't even read them, just resent the same stupid reason for disabling my account. NOT RECOMMENDED. I will gladly recommend their competitor (Monster, local search) rather than this idiotic site.

While not Indeed's fault, this platform fails to provide most people the important opportunity of finding work. An acquaintance and I have been using Indeed.com for 5 months, in different fields, and have yet to find any work. When I graduated with a four year degree, everyone told me how my prospects were high and how I can be easily selected for work due to my portfolio, skills, experience, etc. Well that never happened.

Applied for a part-time job with a job posting named Agora. Turns out the company name is really Media-Agora. This is a fake company hiring customer service manager or account managers to receive email money transfers instructing you to deposit into Bitcoin. Just saw another posting for Agma Inc on Indeed. Looks exactly like the same fake company. Beware!!!

We are a small business (Sign Company), we recently lost out 20 year employee to retirement. We needed to add additional staff member to replace him. We tried Craigslist and the candidates were "shady" and a simple Google search brought up criminal activity. We heard about Indeed so I posted a job. We did get many resumes, about 70 to be exact. Of those 70 maybe 4 were actually worth looking into. Most were nowhere near qualified, we were getting resumes from female college students who worked in an office setting. The job clearly stated construction like environment, heavy lifting, etc...
