We get many resumes that are easy to sort, view, print, etc. Pros There's a free version. When I've interacted with their support team, they were extremely helpful and pleasant. Indeed is clean to look at. It's surprisingly easy to use, even when it doesn't feel like it would be. It's nice that the users can direct assess you through the portal. We've found some great hires and connections on Indeed. It's easy to manage potential future employees. Cons It feels a bit expensive to run actual ads on there. We use the free version sitll with great success Alternatives considered [ZipRecruiter](https://www.capterra.com/p/130706/ZipRecruiter/) Reason for choosing Indeed for Employers Indeed had a free version, and zip recruiter you have to pay no matter what Review Source eT eldho T. BATTERY TEST TECHNICIAN Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "EXCELLENT.." May 27, 2026 5.0 It offers unmatched visibility, often generating dozens of applications within hours of posting.: Employers can add mandatory assessment tests or custom screening questions to filter out unqualified applicants early Pros ITS Allows sponsoring jobs to pay only when candidates match criteria,ITS Sets strict daily or campaign limits to prevent overspending Cons Daily budgets can be exhausted quickly without delivering qualified candidates.The platform often generates a flood of underqualified applicants. Review Source Erin M. Hospital Administrator Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not the best site for skilled labor, but great for entry level positions. " February 9, 2026 3.0 In the end, I was able to find some good candidates for my entry level positions and nursing positions. However, I had to sort through a lot of poor ones to get there. I am hoping that indeed makes changes that benefit the employer in the future, rather than the job seeker. Pros I appreciated that the platform laid all the groundwork out for you, each section outlined exactly what was needed, it didn't leave any unanswered questions for the applicants. Cons I did not like that applicants that were not qualified, and clearly not qualified, were able to click and apply, which then costs us money. Screening questions were clear and concise yet, unqualified persons were still able to apply. I also wasn't aware in the screening process that candidates were made aware if you categorized them as a yes, maybe or no. That should not be visible to a candidate. Indeed also is a very poor site for obtaining skilled healthcare labor (veterinarians specifically). Alternatives considered [ZipRecruiter](https://www.capterra.com/p/130706/ZipRecruiter/) Reason for choosing Indeed for Employers price and amount of candidates. Indeed's return on investment was much greater than zip recruiter. Review Source NC Nikki C.

The platform is easy to use, helps generate a strong number of applicants, and simplifies the hiring process. It’s been effective for reaching candidates quickly, though managing unqualified applicants and sponsored posting costs can sometimes be challenging. Pros What I liked most about Indeed for Employers was how easy it made the hiring process from start to finish. The platform gives access to a large pool of qualified candidates, and the job posting process is simple and quick. I also liked the applicant management tools, which made it easy to review resumes, communicate with candidates, and keep everything organized in one place. The visibility and reach of the platform helped generate applications faster than many other hiring platforms I’ve used. Cons One downside of Indeed for Employers is that costs can add up quickly when sponsoring jobs, especially in competitive markets. I also noticed that some applications were not well qualified, which meant spending extra time filtering candidates. The messaging and filtering tools could also be more advanced for managing large applicant pools efficiently. Alternatives considered [LinkedIn Jobs](https://www.capterra.com/p/172060/LinkedIn-Jobs/)[Glassdoor](https://www.capterra.com/p/210016/Glassdoor/)[ZipRecruiter](https://www.capterra.com/p/130706/ZipRecruiter/) Reason for choosing Indeed for Employers Indeed was chosen over alternatives because it offers a larger candidate pool, faster applicant flow, and simpler hiring tools.

As an IT professional at iQor, I've used the platform to help find candidates for different roles, and it has consistently made the hiring process easier and more organized. What stands out most is how simple it is to post jobs, track applicants, and communicate with candidates without having to switch between multiple tools. Pros What I liked most about Indeed for Employers was how easy it made the hiring process. As an IT professional at iQor, finding candidates with the right technical skills can sometimes be challenging, but Indeed provided access to a large and diverse talent pool. The platform was straightforward to use and I appreciated the ability to quickly review applications, filter candidates and communicate with potential hires all in one place. Cons While Indeed for Employers is a valuable recruiting platform, one challenge I experienced was the high volume of applications for some positions. Although having many applicants is beneficial, it can be time-consuming to sort through resumes and identify the most qualified candidates, especially for specialized IT roles. At times, I also noticed that some applicants did not fully match the job requirements despite the screening questions. Review Source DC Daniel C.

Cons I don’t like that sometimes employers may not look at the ads and then it’s even scammers and predators promoting working Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Accountant and Office Coordinator Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Well Known Platform for Hiring " July 16, 2026 4.0 Not so bad. I appreciate how much they offer for free. However, there's definitely room for improvement. When I post a job ad with personalized questions, I wish I could make all of the answers mandatory. I see a lot of candidates who don't even try to answer one or two simple questions. Maybe that's a good indicator of how seriously they approach the application. Pros Simple interface - very easy to use. Nothing too complicated so it's easy to use even for the first time. Addition to that, Indeed is well known app/website. A lot of job seeker check job ads on Indeed for sure. Cons Sometimes it costs to post job ad for certain job title/occupation. I don't know the exact rule for that, but seems like some of the job ad needs to be promoted (means paid). Copying and pasting from the application isn't very smooth. For a few applications, it might not seem like a big deal, but trust me, it is when you receive hundreds of applications. Review Source MB Mark B.

Marketing Manager Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Hiring Platform with Strong Reach but Some Cost and Quality Trade-Offs" April 23, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Indeed for Employers has been positive. It’s a powerful platform for reaching a large and diverse pool of candidates, and it significantly streamlines the hiring process. The ease of posting jobs, managing applications, and communicating with candidates all in one place makes it very efficient for day-to-day recruiting. That said, there are some trade-offs—mainly the cost of sponsored listings and the time required to sift through a high volume of applicants. However, with the right filters and a clear job description, it still delivers solid results. Overall, it’s a dependable tool that works well for filling roles quickly, especially when speed and reach are priorities. Pros What I liked most about Indeed for Employers is how easy it makes the hiring process from start to finish.

Overall, it’s a reliable and user-friendly tool that simplifies recruiting and helps fill roles faster. Cons What I liked least about Indeed for Employers is that the cost can add up quickly, especially when sponsoring jobs to stay competitive. While the platform brings in a high volume of applicants, the quality can be inconsistent, which means spending extra time filtering through unqualified candidates. The search and matching algorithms could be more precise to better surface the most relevant candidates. Additionally, managing multiple postings and tracking performance metrics isn’t always as intuitive as it could be, which can make optimization a bit challenging. Review Source NH Nina H.
