President in Corporate at Drew Executive Search Inc (1-10 employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I utilize Indeed Resume heavily as one of the recruiting tools at my disposal in order to help source talent. I've found that Indeed Resume typically works pretty well for positions that are a little more high volume (customer service reps, technicians, labor, administrative.)

Pros

  • Extremely easy to use interface
  • Very responsive customer service support
  • Ability to control your own budget

Cons

  • When selecting through candidates it feels like it takes a few extra steps than needed.
  • Not a way to delete a batch of messages at once.

Return on Investment

  • Indeed has saved me a ton of time by allowing me to save various templates for pitching candidates.
  • I've found that candidates are usually pretty responsive on Indeed as well.

Julie Daniels
DELIVERY COORDINATOR in Sales at DEERY BROTHERS AUTO GROUP (51-200 employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used it primarily to look for automotive techs. It works well for locating and communicating with potential applicants. We have used it for other positions and had better results. Auto techs are hard to find. But it is a good resource.

Pros

  • Finds the profession you are looking for
  • Finds applicants in your immediate area
  • Shows you their resume

Cons

  • I would like to be able to delete some jobs we have listed
  • When advertising in other towns, people think the job is there, it's confusing to them
  • Not have to get a code to login everyday

Return on Investment

  • Quality can be spotty, need to read between the lines
  • Lots of candidates for certain jobs that fill quickly
  • 98% of our most recent employees came from Indeed Resume
