Sheila B
owner
5.0

Speaker 1: Hi, my name is Sheila, and I am the owner for two businesses in Morehead City, North Carolina. It's The Soapbox and also Brazelton's Cleaning. I would give Indeed a five-star rating. We tried several things for hiring employees. We did local social media. We run ads in local papers. We went through Employment Security Commission. Overall, the best response that we got was on Indeed. We went with Indeed because we got more applications. We got a range of employees with a lot of experience that we felt they could bring into our business. We just felt like that the audience out there gave us more choices for the jobs that we were hiring for. Indeed was extremely easy getting started. It's really a A-B-C, 1-2-3 setup kind of application. It does ask questions that would pertain to our business, and it would give us examples of the type of employee that we were looking for, and then it would match us with local applicants in our area. I think if anyone's looking for an employee, Indeed would be the first place I would recommend someone to go, mainly because you're going to get a volume of applicants to go through. Most of those applicants are looking for work, so they will respond to your requests when you contact them. Normally, they will follow up for coming in to do interviews, whereas other areas that we've tried, we just didn't get a big response.
