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.

However, it's focus is more on quantity over quality . Pros No cost to search, upload resumes, or apply. The interface is intuitive with strong filters (keywords, location, salary, experience, etc.), and "Easy Apply" or "Indeed Apply" speeds up submissions. Cons Outdated, duplicate, already-filled, low-quality, or even scam/fraudulent postings are common complaints. Salary estimates can be inflated, and some jobs lack details. 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.

While there are some limitations, it still helps streamline the recruitment process and saves time compared to traditional hiring methods. Pros Easy to use and very helpful for posting job vacancies quickly. The platform has a large candidate pool, so it’s easier to find suitable applicants. I also like the filtering and screening tools which save time during the hiring process. Cons Sometimes there are too many unqualified applicants, so it takes extra time to filter them.

Whenever I post a job it sends me a good amount of qualified applicants. Pros It made the hiring process a lot more efficient and helped me connect with potential candidates quickly.

Review Source YB YURI B. hr Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Indeed Review" March 9, 2026 5.0 I still use Indeed for employers it is my #1 system to use to hire for our company. The only thing I dislike is how it's priced. Pros the pros of indeed for employers are that it is really easy to use and to hire people. I like the fact that I get the resume as well and I can contact them via chat on Indeed. Cons The cons I think the pricing is not that good and how they like jobs to be sponsored daily. And how pay has a lot to do with how many applicants you get. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Vice President Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to Use But No App Anymore" February 22, 2026 4.0 For the money, the product is helpful. Could it be cheaper? Absolutely. The ads definitely add up quickly. But the ease of use is helpful. Pros It’s easy to create ads and monitor them. It’s also very simple to reuse the same ads more than once so after they are made initially, they’re very easy to use. Cons The app was discontinued. This was a huge disservice to employers because I was able to monitor our ads from the app outside of work instead of having to login to safari every time. They need to add the app back.

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. Alternatives considered [Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/) Reason for choosing Indeed for Employers Ease of use, familiarity with product and pricing. Review Source MS Miranda S. Tech Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good as a point A" May 21, 2025 4.0 It's not bad. I use it to find who is hiring, then I go to that companies site and apply there. It seems like I get more interest going that route. I also download my resume from Indeed to use on these applications. Pros Easy to use, resume builder is great! I enjoyed the proficiency tests that help to display your skill set. Cons It seems like you can apply for jobs constantly and never hear anything back. It may be that you are not the choice candidate but I know a lot of people with the same issue. Switched from [ZipRecruiter](https://www.capterra.com/p/130706/ZipRecruiter/) Zip Recruiter didn't help me find a job at all Review Source JT Jamie T. Practice Manager Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Using Indeed for hiring needs" April 17, 2025 5.0 We have used Indeed for our job postings for many years and have hired great employees because of it. Pros It is a great way to connect with other professionals and hire for a company. It is also good for people looking for a job opening because of all the info provided. It is good to be able to search exactly what you are looking for. Cons I can't think of anything that I like least except for job seekers can apply to a job even if we require certain things (ex. License for a specific job). Each application costs money and the extra unqualified applicants waste the budget. Switched from [ZipRecruiter](https://www.capterra.com/p/130706/ZipRecruiter/) We did not have very good results with ZipRecruiter and were paying a lot of money for very little return. Review Source SE Stephanie E. Talent Attraction Specialist Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Streamlining Our Hiring Process" December 24, 2025 5.0 With Indeed, we can reach a large talent pool with a user-friendly dashboard for posting jobs. This streamlines our hiring process and allows us to focus our time on screening high-quality candidates. Pros The best function about Indeed for Employers is being able to post free basic job postings! This is enough to reach a wide, diverse talent pool of candidates. Cons Although we are able to reach a high number of candidates, it can be difficult to get in touch with these candidates due to the ease of applying on Indeed. 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. Review Source TW Tom W. Founder Consumer Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Indeed is one of the best platforms available for recruiting employees" December 12, 2025 5.0 Indeed provides employers with the best value for their money by providing top-notch recruitment tools, as well as tools to manage your employees.

I am enjoying it and learning more and more every day. Pros I like that we as employers can see and view all the applicants and update job descriptions as needed. Cons There is not much I don’t like. It is a very easy to use platform, and it continues to be updated regularly. 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 KS Kimberly S. Patient Service Representative Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Job Seeking" January 23, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience has always been positive with indeed. As I had mentioned this is how I originally found my job and am still with them but in a different position. This is how many others that I have trained found the field we are in now. Pros What I like most about indeed is the ability to seek employment. It was through indeed that I had, originally, found my job with Penn Highlands back in December 2022. I enjoy how I was able to set what I was looking for - full time, shifts I prefer, etc ... Fast forward to current I am still with them but now in a different position. Cons What I least like about indeed is the scam post that, sometimes, find there way onto the site. It is very important to be cautious when using this software because some are legit and some are not. 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 KC Kimberlee C. Supervisor Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I enjoy Indeed" November 26, 2025 5.0 I have been on both sides of Indeed. The interface is user friendly. I have rapid response time. I really enjoy Indeed. Pros It finds employees for us and encourages them to apply. The ease of messaging through Indeed is amazing. We enjoy doing that in order to weed out some people who don't qualify. Cons We would like to see improvments on weeding out applicants. Not allowing them to apply under the age of 18 y/o. Review Source MGA Mayowa Grace A. Manager Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Evaluation of Employers" December 16, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with indeed employers has been positive. The platform connect job seekers with a wide range of opportunities and many of their employers are professional. Although they are slow to reply in some aspect but still they are the best when seeking for job opportunities, they know the values of money, they always upload a well paying job. Pros What I like most about Indeed employers is their professionalism, connections, employee management and transparency. Their job descriptions are usually clear, employers respond promptly and this make it easy to use, the hiring process feels organized and fair. It makes job searching easier and builds confidence that opportunities posted are genuine and well-structured and their portal are easy to access. Cons The least about indeed employers is that some employers are slow to respond or do not give feedback after applications. At times, job listings can also stay active even when positions are already met/filled and this can be frustrating for job seekers. Review Source RK Rebecca K. HR Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good value for money." November 20, 2025 4.0 Great experience overall, features are easy to use, good value for money and can posts a variety of jobs. Pros Reaches a large audience, easy of use, applicants can contact you and you can send applications. Good value for money in terms of sponsoring posts and creating adverts. Cons Should be an option to delete messages or put into folders to stay organised for each role. Would be beneficial to allow for attachments on job adverts. Review Source SB Steve B. Cultural Advisor Legal Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Indeed great for professionals " May 29, 2025 5.0 It is very easy to use, keeps me engaged with other people in my field and can help expand my network to better my personal output.

HR Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "10/10 Would Recruit Again!" November 25, 2025 5.0 Great recruitment tool for free and sponsored recruiting. I absolutely recommend for small and large teams. Pros Indeed for Employers is a great tool for collaboration across teams when it comes to recruitment. The platform is easy to use, very cost-effective, and I have noticed more than enough applicants come through. I work in hospitality, which is a very unique industry to recruit from, and we usually get what we need out of Indeed. Cons It can be tricky to set up sponsorships without accidentally paying too much or too long. The buttons are a tad confusing if you want to skip or end sponsorship, so I just maintained the sole responsibility of sponsorship for all of my hiring managers.
