    Indeed
    Well suited for searching the database for qualified resources, not well suited for those posting jobs. That is especially true if the job posted has a broader appeal, or applies to many job seekers, since it will attract hundreds that you will not have time to review. We have found that 1 in 20 are even qualified and have the basic requirements for what we post

    It would depend on the company size. From experience, it does not serve us well but it might work better for a different company or industry

    Pros
    Indeed
    • The best free job advertising platform out there that is easy to use and integrates with our ATS Greenhouse
    • ATS (Greenhouse) automatically posts every job to Indeed and requires zero effort
    • Formatting of the the jobs from my ATS look good when "pulled" over to Indeed
    • Able to integrate questions with rules that allow you to shortlist candidates in a more timely fashion
    • Sponsoring portal has change a couple times. I do not love the new format as of 5/2021 but it is not bad.
    • They allow you to use a credit card for sponsoring which linkedin will not
    • Sponsoring criteria is good and has many options

    Cons
    Indeed
    • Indeed.com tends to have a lot of fake listings or listings which overstate a role and that drives some users away from using the service.
    • Indeed.com's aesthetics are a bit dated so although the web sites functions are mature they also are a bit bland....if that matters to someone.
    • They seem to try and push the sponsor (cost to you) job lists a bit strong.

    • The response rate of the candidates(but that isn't Ladders fault)
    • Only one user can access the account which does not serve us well as we have several people that work on Executive positions.
    • From experience, The ability to get candidates to respond to you was awful

    Usability
    Indeed
    Indeed does its job best in job postings, Sourcing resumes, and internal communication where our personal details can't be enclosed. Various filters help us source the particular resume.

    I haven't had to use Customer Service much for Indeed.com but the few times I've had encounters they have been very nice and helpful. They ensure you are getting the most out of your money with the resources Indeed has to offer. You can speak to customer service over the phone or on a quick messenger setting on the website depending on what your style is or how easy you feel your question is.

    We used and are still currently using other job boards. Some are free of charge, some are paid services. We do not want to stop using Indeed.com since it provides up with ability to post job postings for free. This is really appreciated. We do not want to disclose names of other services.

    Return on Investment
    Indeed
    • Higher turnover in general for the positions we have hired for from Indeed which in some instances can hinder productivity. It is important to know that when using Indeed, you are getting volume/quantity and not necessarily top-performing employees.
    • It seems like the employees found on Indeed are constantly job hunting even when currently employed.
    • For our large-scale hiring, Indeed, all in all has had a positive impact as we are always able to fill the positions due to the large pool of resumes always on hand.
