Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Overall, pretty good. " April 4, 2026 4.0 It was really helpful. I would definitly recommend and will use it again for the next posting I have. Pros The Indeed team is responsive to inquiries and questions. It was also helpful to quickly receive updates on new applicants. The free version was great for what I needed as I was able to get the position filled w/in a month. Cons It was not so easy to locate my post, review it, and look for past applicants when I had not saved the CV and needed to reference later. Also, while the free version worked great for me, I thought the paid version would have been much too expensive for what I would have been able to do. Review Source CB Christine 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. The platform has a massive candidate pool, which means you can quickly reach a wide range of qualified applicants. Posting jobs is straightforward, and the filtering tools help narrow down candidates efficiently, saving a lot of time. I also appreciate the built-in messaging and scheduling features, which keep everything organized in one place. 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 Donna C. HR Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Has potential " May 8, 2026 3.0 It really is an okay system to use but there is lots of room for improvement. 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 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 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.

The platform consistently brings in a large pool of applicants, and the quality of candidates is generally strong. Posting jobs is straightforward, managing applicants is simple, and the built‑in communication tools make it easy to schedule interviews and keep the hiring process organized. The ability to filter candidates by experience, skills, and qualifications saves a lot of time, especially when hiring for roles that require specific expertise. Pros It's extremely easy to use. Job posting, messaging, and interview scheduling are all intuitive. The screening tools are very helpful. Assessments and filters make it easier to narrow down applicants quickly. Job posts get traction fast, which helps fill roles efficiently. Cons Sponsored job posts and resume searches are effective, but the pricing structure can become expensive, especially when hiring multiple positions at once. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director of Training Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Everyone Needs It!" May 7, 2026 4.0 Well-rounded and positive! I think the platform has been very helpful for us as an employer. Most of our candidates are pooled from this. Pros I think it offers great customer service, because there is a dedicated representative that I can reach out to whenever I need. In general, the portal is easy to use and has many tools / information on the dashboard. Cons I do think that it has some expensive elements. When recruiting, it is a necessary platform; however, if you want to stick out, you need to pay for advertisements.

I am really enjoying using the platform for recruiting. Pros Indeed has been amazing and a huge help with finding candidates that are suitable to our jobs. Would recommend.

It helps simplify recruitment and gives good visibility for job openings. The interface is user-friendly, and the hiring tools are useful for managing applications and tracking candidates, although better filtering for application quality would improve the experience further. Pros What I liked most about Indeed for Employers was the large candidate reach and the ease of posting jobs quickly. The platform makes it simple to manage applications, filter candidates, and communicate with applicants. It is especially useful for finding candidates across different experience levels and industries.

Easy and quick to use. Pros I tried Indeed a few times, to look for a job and it's very reliable and easy to use. You create the account, find the job you're looking for and send the CV. It has helped me to reach a few connections here in my town. I find the portal easy. Cons There aren't cons at all, the only one I would have are the times of the wait after the sending of the CV Review Source MB Mark B. Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The only hiring platform I use" January 8, 2026 5.0 I have used indeed almost solely for hiring and recruiting for my staff for the last 4 years. I have always found an applicant that fits my team well. From pre-questions to candidate information and contacting, Indeed has proven to be reliable and efficient. As a sole hiring manager for my company, I have found that indeed has and easy to use UI that allows for easy organization of positions, candidates and payments. I have never had any issues with Indeed. Pros Setting up an account with Indeed is simple. The information Indeed is able to offer before meeting a candidate allows for easier vetting. They offer great customer support for not only resolving problems, but also helping you optimized candidate results and getting the most applicants for the $ amount you are able to spend. Cons I hope indeed improves the way automatic responses are triggered and can be further customized for specific conditions to be met. Alternatives considered [Monster+](https://www.capterra.com/p/48951/Monster-TMS/) Reason for choosing Indeed for Employers Monster did not have the reach or customization that indeed offers. Review Source JL Julie L. Office Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Impressed with ease of use" March 30, 2026 5.0 Satisfied with ease of use. 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 Tools that make it easy for me to post job details, automate responses and set up interview schedules. I find the program to be reasonably priced, and transparent with fees up front. The customer service team has always responded to any questions promptly. Cons The cost, but it's not bad compared to other hiring platforms, and there is a free option if you do not post a lot of job openings. Alternatives considered [ZipRecruiter](https://www.capterra.com/p/130706/ZipRecruiter/) Reason for choosing Indeed for Employers zip recruiter is higher priced, and customer service does not respond to inquires in a timely fashion if at all. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Superintendent Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great ease of use!" December 11, 2025 4.0 I really liked this process. It was very simple and easy to use. It def made my life easier. Once everything was in place, it was a very smooth stream of candidate applications. Pros The ease of use. Ease of posting and reviewing candidates. And ease of replying to candidates. This was the best feature. Cons Sometimes it was a little confusing to separate out candidates easily in hierarchy and per job. Especially, if there were multiple jobs posted. Interview scheduling could be a little clunky.

Senior Manager II., Talent Acquisition Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Strategic Resource- Promoting a Strategic & Efficient Process to Attract Talent" April 14, 2025 4.0 Overall I have enjoyed our experience being an Indeed partner. Indeed has become a valuable resource for our team to post our jobs, attract and engage with talent, and create pipelines. Additionally, the support received from our Account representative and Reporting Analyst is top class. This has allowed us to make the most of the analytics provide and in turn, increased out utilization and ROI. Pros The attribute that I like the most as an Indeed Employer user is the smart sourcing feature. This has allowed my team to operate in a much more efficient and strategic manner in support of candidate sourcing. Cons The aspect that I dislike about Indeed is that at times it can be cumbersome to engage with candidates. This can be a result of their contact number not being visible or because a LinkedIn profile is shared instead of a CV. This makes causes the platform to become a passive resource.

HR Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Indeed - really impressive" February 2, 2026 5.0 The overall experience has been really good, I have used Indeed in many businesses and I have always been really impressed. We now link People HR with Indeed and it makes life so much easier! Pros It is very easy to use, you add a job through step by step instructions and you can sift through applications with ease. We get lots of applications and many are of good quality and right for our business. Cons There is nothing I dislike about Indeed. It meets all of our expectations. I would always use Indeed before any other job board. Review Source Melissa W. Business Office Manager Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Career Compass You Didn't Know You Needed" January 30, 2026 5.0 It has led me to my current career, and I couldn't be happier that I followed through with indeed to help me find my job. 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. Cons I feel it still sends me jobs that I do not fully qualify for. For example, jobs that require a bachelors degree, or an RN license. I don't have either of those, yet jobs get recommended to me that require them. Review Source JJ Jon J. HR Coordinator Dairy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid (mostly free) platform for recruitment." December 11, 2025 4.0 Slick and easy to use (once you get to the dashboard) the software is much more stable than it used to be (no more hanging in my experience). Clear settings for jobs and easy to communicate / reach out to applicants. Clear integrations and solid connections with ATS systems; and a quick apply / quick post pull-though. Pros Indeed for employers lets you control, edit and publish your adverts for the Indeed platform. As a free tool with paid enhancements, it is great for getting the word out about your roles. In the UK at least, Indeed is the go-to for job seekers and attracts almost 70% of our applicants. The portal is clear and well laid out, allowing ease of use and clear employee management. Cons It does tend to boot you over to an advert page or paid promotion, rather than simply logging you into your dashboard. There can be an inconsistency as to where the "Go to Dashboard" button is located! Customer service is different, due to not having account managers - but nonetheless, always know their thing, and are very helpful. Review Source RG Rose G. Recruiter Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Overall Positive Hiring Experience" January 28, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience using Indeed as an employer was positive. It made the hiring process more efficient and helped me connect with potential candidates quickly. 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 AD Aaron D. Tech Specialist Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Visibility For a Great Price" December 1, 2025 4.0 Overall, Indeed for Employers offers a powerful, centralized platform that makes finding and managing candidates efficient and data-driven. While the reliance on paid sponsorships and premium branding tools can be a downside, the reach, tools, and insights generally provide strong value for most hiring needs. Pros Indeed for Employers makes it easy to post jobs, review applicants, and communicate with candidates from a single dashboard, which streamlines the hiring process and saves time. The large, diverse talent pool and built-in screening tools help surface qualified candidates quickly, and options like sponsorship and company pages improve visibility for key roles. Reporting and analytics tools make it straightforward to see how job posts are performing, track applications, and optimize spend and strategy over time. Cons To get strong visibility on many roles, sponsoring jobs often feels necessary, which can drive up costs, especially for small teams or tight budgets. Some of the more advanced branding and analytics features require upgrades or premium options, and the volume of applicants can sometimes mean extra work to filter out less relevant candidates. Review Source AC Andrea C. HR Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Flawless Team Management " November 13, 2025 5.0 It is very easy to use, anyone can come in from the team and pick up where the last team member left off. 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 RR Rohit R. Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Quick hires, but lots of sorting and extra cost" August 7, 2025 4.0 Overall, using Indeed has been a mostly positive experience because it brings in a steady flow of applicants fast and keeps all our hiring tasks, like messaging and interview scheduling, in one place, but the trade-off is sorting through a lot of unqualified resumes and paying extra when we need to boost visibility; even with those drawbacks, it remains our go to platform because it helps us fill positions quicker than any other job board we have tried. Pros What I like most about Indeed is how quickly it connects us with a big pool of candidates without a lot of hassle. As soon as we post a job, we start seeing applications roll in, and the built-in screening questions let us filter for basics like license or shift availability right away. Everything from sorting resumes to messaging candidates and setting up interviews—happens in one place, so we can move fast and keep track of every step without bouncing between emails or spreadsheets. Cons Even with screening questions turned on, Indeed still fills the inbox with lots of applicants who do not actually meet our requirements, so we end up spending extra time sorting through resumes. Staying visible also means paying for sponsored listings, and those costs climb quickly. On top of that, the location filter is not very precise, so people from far outside our hiring area often apply, adding to the pile we have to sift through. Review Source AA Abbie A. Resourcing Manager Facilities Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best recruitment tool there is!" July 21, 2025 5.0 Extremely positive. 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. Team Lead Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good for hiring, Good for getting hired" May 30, 2025 5.0 Positive, overall. 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. Simple, effective, some nice integrations that make the whole experience much better! 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. Review Source Victoria H. HR Director Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great recruiting tool" December 11, 2025 4.0 My overall experience is good. 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. Review Source NA Nicole A. Coordinator Victim Services Law Enforcement Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Indeed Delivers: A Reliable Tool for Modern Hiring" May 19, 2025 5.0 Overall it is an awesome platform to find employees. You can post a job in minutes and manage the applications coming in. Pros Indeed offers a large candidate reach, indeed is one of the most popular platforms for job seekers to use to find a job. Cons Unqualified applicants, since it is so easy to click to apply, applicants can apply to several jobs that they are not necessarily qualified for.
