The massive reach can be beneficial as well as the flexible pricing. Using in conjunction with other advertising methods is the best way to begin the hiring process. Pros While our office is not often hiring, when we are Indeed for Employers is paramount to our process. Posting jobs is overall very quick and easy. The many prompts ensure that we are able to capture not only the role, but our atmosphere correctly. The massive reach helps to ensure that our ad is viewed by many people which is helpful for both entry level and very specific roles. Having applicants ordered by job posting and be able to filter results to ensure only the applicants who would be a good fit are available to view. The flexible pricing is also much appreciated. Cons Unfortunately the pricing is both a pro and a con. The flexibility in the pricing is appreciated however those costs do add up quickly. The same can be said for the massive reach; high number of applications generally do not equal suitable candidates.

May 7, 2026 3.0 We like Indeed, just wish it was cheaper to use to find candidates. If you don't sponsor, you don't get good candidates, which is what they want. Pros It is very easy to use and it helps guides you and provides templates along the way to help. Very user friendly. Cons It is very very pricey and candidates that sometimes apply, seem not to READ the ad. The price sometimes isn't worth it.

It would be useful to be able to download all Cvs Pros It's very simple to use and it does make it clear who has applied for which role. The auto contact is also great Cons How complicated it is to post a job and it be an unsponsored role. It absolutely makes no sense on why some things are free and others not Review Source VR Verified Reviewer HR Assistant Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "HR Assistant" May 15, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Indeed for Employers has been positive. The platform is easy to use, efficient for recruitment, and provides strong exposure for job postings. The recruitment process becomes more streamlined through centralized applicant management and communication tools. The employee management and user access portal are straightforward and accessible, making collaboration easier for hiring teams. While there are some limitations regarding pricing and application quality control, the overall value for money is good considering the reach and convenience the platform provides. Pros What I liked most about Indeed for Employers was the ease of posting jobs and reaching a large pool of candidates quickly. The platform is user-friendly, making it simple to manage applications, communicate with candidates, and track recruitment progress in one place. The visibility of job postings helped attract diverse applicants, and the filtering tools made shortlisting more efficient. I also found the integration and accessibility features convenient for both recruiters and applicants. Cons One downside was that the cost of sponsored postings can become expensive, especially when hiring for multiple positions. At times, there were also a high number of unqualified applications, which increased screening time. Some advanced recruitment and analytics features felt limited unless additional paid options were used. Customer support responses could occasionally take longer than expected depending on the issue.

Love the multiple options for contacting prospective interviews and keeping them organized. Indeed makes the resume collection, review, and interview scheduling and follow up process streamlined and easy to manage.

Pros I think it is a platform that makes it extremely easy to find exactly what you're looking for when searching for possibly a new career.

I don't have either of those, yet jobs get recommended to me that require them. Review Source Tammy G. Director of Operations Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good for the novice recruiter, frustrating for a pro" January 24, 2026 4.0 Overall I find that listing open positions is useless I fk t get the candidates I need. I have to pay a lot to be able to search the resume database which is frustrating. Pros I like the resume database. It’s really the only thing I find useful. I have to do deep recruiting and reach out to fill my open positions. The resume database lets my search for people anywhere with the experience I am looking for. Cons The price keeps going up! And it keeps getting more and more difficult to access what I want. And the resume search doesn’t offer the parameters I need. I’ve been using Indeed for recruiting for 10+ years and the improvements are not improving my experience. I’d prefer the old basic version.

I get the most candidates from Indeed and it's an easy platform to use and navigate. Pros Indeed is a search engine so I get the most candidate traffic when posting the job directly on Indeed and having candidates apply directly on Indeed.

Pros I’ve used Indeed to help find employees for my business, and overall it’s been a helpful platform. Posting jobs is straightforward, and I received a good number of applicants fairly quickly. It made the hiring process easier and saved time compared to other methods I’ve tried. Like any hiring platform, some applicants were a better fit than others, but Indeed gave me a solid pool to choose from. I’d recommend it to employers looking to streamline their hiring process. Cons Some applicants didn’t fully meet the job requirements, so it took extra time to sort through resumes. Review Source Kassidy K.

We were able to list a job and interview several applicants with the end result of finding a great fit Pros We have found one of our most valuable employees through Indeed. It’s pretty easy to use for people with no experience and easy to track applicants you like vs automatic no.

It is seamless, effective, and fun. Pros Indeed provides a very easy to use platform for small business seeking to hire employees quickly. It takes minutes to launch a job posting, and I saw a lot of leads off of a free posting! Cons I don't always get email notifications that someone applied. I have to check the website manually to get to everyone who applied which can be a hassle sometimes. Review Source AC Andrea C.

That is a game changer when trying to quickly and efficiently fill a position. Pros I love the features of being able to track the status of the applicant right from the home page, so anyone else logging in can pick up and see where we are in the process. Cons I wish that there was more screening options, other than the extra ones we have to purchase but that is the only issue. Review Source PD Pankaj D.

We have a really strong partnership with a account manager at Indeed who keeps our journey positive. Smart sourcing is life changing and has saved us thousands of pounds of agency spend. Pros There are several features on indeed that i use. For job searching but also smart sourcing is fantastic for recruiting for candidates. Also the hiring insights can be great too. Indeed is a great tool and i wouldnt beable to work in recruitment without it. Cons Sometimes the hiring insights function isn't very relevant and doesnt go into too much detail. It is great for popular job titles but can provide limited info for other areas. Review Source GC Garnet C.

Did what I hoped it would, had a nice boost feature that would take your posting to the top of the list to increase exposure to the marketplace.

Pros Easily customize your own profile, navigate hiring others through their profiles, link to linkedin, and other platforms. Very in depth, provides tools to help for hiring and profile optimization. Cost effective ways for job posting exposure. Cons Hiring can be tricky, as you often will get profiles that are so far and away from the match you are looking for. but that doesnt always mean the right hires are not out there, either.

I have used it for many many years and I have found jobs on it personally as well, but I have found many applicants for the jobs I’ve recruited for. Pros Easy to use a lot of people are familiar with indeed so they use it as a resource to find jobs so it makes it easy to get applicants Cons Honestly, I do not really have any cons. If I have to comment, I’d say that you have to sometimes refresh the ads to keep it active enough for people to see and sometimes they don’t close when you’re done with it.
