Indeed

I used Indeed well over 5 years ago to look for a job and found it to be very useful. I don't recall if I found a job through them or not but do remember that I did like the service and was able to navigate through their site with ease. I know that every site is not going to be liked be all so you just have to give it a try and see if they work for you or not.

Indeed was able to resolve the issue. One of the accounts has been re-activated, the second should also be soon, I sent the required document today.

The issue seems to be the lack of clarity and feedback received, when they initially vet documents to approve an account. The message received in response offers no clarity on what the issue was with the document submitted.

The way to sort this out appears to be contacting them on here or via Facebook chat. Thank indeed in happy with the outcome.

Indeed is a platform that allows employers and employees to contact one another. I have had a positive experience finding my first job I could actually call a career from here, but other than that job, I haven't had as much luck.

There are some questionable jobs out there. The worst are the headhunters, usually for a major company. They are all offering the same job across several networks and claiming varying pay rates.

The assessments are actually fun, though. This is a big step up from Craigslist, and WAY better than Monster. USAJobs could learn a thing or 69 from Indeed.

Indeed.com is the only website I use for job hunting. While it's run of the mill it's one of the better ones out there. It has mixed reviews but over all I'd say it does okay. It helped me find three jobs and my current job I've been in 12+ years. I tried job hunting after the economy started to recover in 2014 and found where I'm at now was the better choice long term. So I decided to stay at my job long term. Especially now with the economy crashing every decade or two.

Due to the fact my union job would allow me to earn 20% more than someone who wasn't in a union job. Unless you have a bachelor degree and several decades experience most of the jobs average in my area about 20% less than my current pay. The job I'm in now can't seem to keep people because it's really designed for someone who wants to stay long term like 10+ years long term. They treat the long term staff decently but business practices encourage starting staff to quit. They basically make the job crap for starting people so they have to quit and keep repeating the minimum wage cycle. If they were smart they would pay less to wages by keeping people long term. Thank god for the union.

If you need a job like now just post your resume and select that it be actively viewed. You'll be called by recruiters left and right. Who knows one of them might end up being "that" long term job. Or heck you could get temp work for experience. This helped me get experience so I could get hired by my "now" company.

I highly advise you to purchase a cheap throw away phone for job hunting. Unless you want your real phone number spammed time and time again and yes even resold. You can get these by going to your local grocer (that sells them) or just buy a cheap phone off of amazon.

I registered in this website placed my cv and started to get jobs that matches my profile from the first day and that gives me the chance to found the right job for me

Posted a job post for a client to hire bakers for their bakery. Everything sorted, ad is running fine now.

Hi, I have no idea why my account has been disabled. I had been using it very well for some days but without any apparent reasons or issues, it just got disabled and what I can see is only dashboard asking for sponsorship. I need to fix this immediately. Any help?

Indeed can allow your job offer to be seen (or not) - it's all a game played depending on how much money you pay. They can stop it from being seen if too many people "click" or if you simply don't spend enough money daily. Many job seekers use this site, so it can still be beneficial - providing you spend enough money daily. One great thing about Indeed is that you can request that applicants do some testing before they are considered for your open position through Indeed, with no extra cost. So, if you need, for example, "attention to detail" you can see how an applicant scores in that area right up front. Bad news is, plenty of applicants are too lazy to do the tests - no fault of Indeed, just the way of the world today.

I'm so grateful for Indeed! Made my job search less stressful. Created my resume & easily applied for employment. Indeed provided terrific leads based on matches to my resume. I interviewed several times and I'm now employed by a company Indeed listed for me! Couldn't be more grateful for thembeasing the actual "footwork" job hunting. I would've given 5 stars but email job alerts were not always in areas a reasonable distance to where I could work. THAT was the ONLY con in using Indeed to find employment. All of the companies were legitimate & most replied to my resume rather quickly. Even the ones which weren't interested in hiring me sent courtesy emails to let me know! Thanks so much Indeed! Landed a wonderful position with a fabulous company! I would definitely use again if I needed to.

Originally, I left a 1 star review about my disdain for this service due to the fact my account was disabled and there seemed to be no reprieve after endless appeals.

After leaving my review, an account representative was able to kindly activate my account with no problem! I'm very appreciative for this, as I was half way through a report for the Better Business Bureau. They've turned things around for me, and I'm looking forward to finding promising workers on indeed.

My overall review?
Their Automatic Bot Customer Service: 0/5
Human Customer Service: 5/5
New Hire Candidate Quality: 4/5
Ease Of Use (Of The Platform): 5/5
Ease Of Account Setup: 3/5

To Use Or Not To Use?
DEFINITELY use the service! If you're able to get through the initial review process then this is an excellent service with all the tools you need to hire great people stress-free! Looking through applicants is a breeze, and the app makes hiring candidates so convenient, you'll wonder why you weren't using Indeed YEARS ago!

If you're NOT able to get through the review process, then the entire ordeal will give you a mind-bending headache and leave you with an eternal resentment towards Indeed. Possibly enough for you to go out on a limb and warn every good business you know to "Stay Away" if they know what's good for them.

My final advice?
If you run into serious issues with indeed, try to reach a human on indeed's customer service. If that doesn't work, tell your legitimate story in a review and hope a human CSR comes to your rescue- like they did with me!

Tried many other places like LinkedIn, Glassdoor + even posting on Craigslist. Get the most candidates and best qualified candidates. It work well. Only glitch is you have to always communicate via Indeed masked email account even at the very final stages of process, these emails sometimes go to spam, which is frustrating.

UPDATE: Issue has been resolved

I just created an account on behalf of employer, posted a job and opted to pay for the sponsored ads. The job posting went live, but after a few hours I received an email that my account was disabled. I've read the terms and conditions and I did not see any violations on my posting.

The account was verified. So I don't really understand why the account suddenly got disabled without any specific reason.

This is our first time to use this platform. I love it at first because it's user-friendly however we are really disappointed and frustrated right now because of this issue. And upon reading the reviews, it seems that it is a common issue. The account being disabled for no specific reason and there's no one to reach out to for a customer chat support.

Can someone reach out to me directly on my email to resolve this issue?

I had several interviews by employees through Indeed. Finally got a job offer. Thanks indeed. I would recommend this to others seeking employment.

It's an okay site. It can be confusing at times because it seems so much is going on with this site. They may send you to another site to apply for a job. One time, the site sent me to CareerBuilder. I was shocked.

A place you can create a resume, a cover letter and apply for a job all at once. Supper easy and user-friendly!

It was OK... I had a lot of interest and fell off after a couple weeks. I expected more interest for longer being I sponsored the add. I didn't like that I had to pay for people who applied that were not qualified, even tho I had requirements noted.

I had an ad prior to this about a year ago and did not sponsor. I had almost as much interest then, So by sponsoring the ads in my opinion was not worth the 300.00 I spent

I found Indeed to be easy to use, but somewhat limited. We did get a good response to our ad. I would suggest you increase the employer's options by allowing us to give a rating to each employee we review. (Even a 1 to 10 rating scale would help.) This would aid quickly evaluating many applicants at one time. Also, the options to reflect an employee only as "Reviewed", Phone Screened, Rejected or Hired is a little limiting. A couple of other status options like: Contacted Employee or Awaiting Information or Interview Scheduled woulc help.

I have sourced a few hires from Indeed, the site definitely allows for a good source of talent. It is a little difficult to filter through all of the applicants though. There also seems to be a lot of people who apply that do not fit the criteria, but that will inevitably happen and is the job of HR/hiring managers to identify good candidates from here.

After leaving a review here, we were contacted by Indeed and after a few emails back and forth they were able to send our case to review and the block was lifted. I still have no idea why it happened in the first place but we are very grateful to be able to contact possible hires again. Thanks!

Although I didn't end up hiring through Indeed, I do appreciated how easy it was to post a job. The response was fantastic... 167 candidates. It was also good to have all the applications through Indeed in one place where I can send automatic responses and change individual applicant's status along the process. However, many of the candidates did not qualify and it was a lot of work to find those who did.

I had a problem with my account being disabled after I first created it. I tried to contact support through the website, but heard nothing, so I decided to try Facebook. I got a reply within 15 minutes and they were very helpful and explained what the problem was. They had to escalate the issue, but surprisingly withing a couple hours everything was fixed and back up. Bit of a slow start but ended up winning the race.

My account was disabled and I had sent all relevant scanned documents and spoke to an advisor he was very helpful. My account was reopened but after a while disabled again. Can someone please help me im loosing out on buisness :(

Updated review: I was unhappy because I was blocked from contacting candidates for a job I am hiring for. But since posting this review the Indeed customer service team resubmitted an appeal for me on my behalf. Indeed resolved my issue and has agreed to let me contact again while being careful to follow their guidelines. I do think that indeed is a good source for candidates, there are many to choose from and I am really happy to be able to use it again.

Previous review: As an employer seeking candidates I paid $1 per contact. I contacted several candidates and gave them the job description we are looking for. 2 days later I try to contact one of my candidates and indeed says I am blocked. They give you an option to appeal their blocking. So in the comments I explain that I am appealing because I don't think I was rightfully blocked. I still have no idea what I did that was wrong. This is the response they send:

Thank you for taking the time to go through our appeal process. We review all accounts to ensure our job seekers have the best experience.

We have reviewed your account and will not be lifting the suspension for Indeed Resume. Suspension of your ability to contact job seekers has no effect on your ability to post or sponsor jobs on Indeed.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may...
