Overall Review

Overall, there is hardly, if any, feedback or follow up by any of the companies that I have applied to. I don't even know if they've received my application. There needs to be more ways to filter out jobs that I have no interest in or are not qualified for. For example, I have no interest in any career in the medical field. Yet, every other job that pops up in my search area is for medical fields like nursing. Why can't I filter out "nursing", etc.?

Hi, we know that it can definitely be frustrating having to sit and wait to hear back from employers. Indeed's goal is to help better connect employers with candidates however, we're not able to guarantee that they'll respond to applications. We recommend checking out our Career Guide: https://www.indeed.com/career-advice. It contains many different articles that may be helpful to you in your job search. Also, to help narrow your search, we recommend using our Advanced Search feature: http://www.indeed.com/advanced_search.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback and we can pass it along.

Found the perfect job

Being able to narrow results down to exactly what you want helps you avoid wasting time and find the jobs you want easier. It was important to me that I found a job close to my home, with a full time M-F schedule, and made at least $20 an hour. I was able to apply to jobs that met my criteria and was recently hired! As soon as I got the message that I was being offered the job I cried tears of relief and happiness. Thank you Indeed for providing such a convenient, easy to use, and effective platform.

Currently Indeed requires a paid Ad even with a paid subcription

Currently Indeed requires a paid Ad. It is cost-prohibitive to run and ad and pay for a subscription. We will be looking for other resources to find qualified candidates. We are a small business and can not afford the increase in Indeed's fees. In the last few months, Indeed has changed the criteria for free ads even with paid subscriptions. It is unfortunate as we have been an Indeed customer for many years.

Found a job!!

I found a job on Indeed within only a couple of weeks. Indeed made applying for jobs so easy and simple. They also gave excellent feedback on my resume for free. The daily job notifications were super helpful too and their tracking system on which jobs I applied to and were interviewing with helped tons. There are so many employers advertising on Indeed from the government to private sector, that I didn't need to go to multiple job site. I just stuck with Indeed. Thank you for this free service!! It's awesome!

Many e mails, little to no interviews

While I received several e mails for jobs near my area. None of these jobs ever contacted me or updated the status of my application.

Several times I walked into the business looking for employees only to be told that position isn't really open and they just wanted to get some applications for reserve.

I have used Indeed in the past

I have used Indeed in the past, and I've gotten two jobs so far. The new and improved app matched me perfectly with my new job, because it recognizes my previous job experiences with the job I applied for.

May 2nd 2024 terrible update

If I could leave a 0 score I would. The changes you made on the 2nd of May are terrible. You have a one size fits all solution which doesn't take into account the small business owner like myself. My business is not a recruitment agency - if anything, I encourage companies to use your site - making you even more money. Now I have to pay to use the job postings which just doesnt seem very fair to me. My business model is not the same as a recruitment agency - we don't charge our clients big fees. So when you implemented the changes on the 2nd of May - this had a massive impact on my business. Shame on you. You obviously don't like to look after your customers or take into account that some services are different.

Hello Karen, thank you for taking the time to share this feedback with us.

Providing the best possible job seeker experience to job seekers remains a top priority for us at Indeed.

In an effort to provide our job seekers with a high variety of jobs from various employers and agencies, we are requiring that all staffing, recruiting, consulting, and placement firms sponsor their jobs in order to be eligible for visibility on Indeed.

Sponsored jobs appear more often and for longer in search results compared to non-sponsored jobs. Additionally, sponsored jobs come with hiring tools and benefits that can help companies attract candidates faster. We believe this change will help enhance job seekers’ overall experience on Indeed and help companies attract candidates that meet their requirements.

Good for company reviews bad for applying

There’s way too many ghost-listings. It took me 9 months and only ever got 4-5 interviews in that time. Most don’t ever reply to your application/resume. It’s much better to use Indeed for company reviews and to look up salaries. I found it better to apply directly on company websites but research a company/salaries with Indeed.

I am a dedicated employee and will always stive t succeed in my employment

I am very satisfied with Indeed for all the jobs they send me, the alerts, resume suggestions and updates. After being employed for 26 years, I am finding it very difficult to find a job. I personally am seeing that companies are asking job seekers to fulfill a lot of responsibility or the minimum amount of money they are offering.

I feel Very discouraged. I am not having much feedback from many companies.

Hello, we're happy to hear you've enjoyed using Indeed so far!

It can definitely be frustrating having to sit and wait to hear back from an employer. To clarify, when you apply for a job posting on Indeed, your information is sent directly to the employer, subject to Indeed's Terms of Service. As we are not involved in the hiring process, we cannot say why an individual employer may not respond.



We've also created a resource for job seekers called the Indeed Career Guide: https://www.indeed.com/career-advice. It contains many different articles that may be helpful to you in your job search. Please let us know if we can further assist, and best of luck in your search!

The number of job postings is amazing

The number of job postings is amazing. The site is well organized and super easy to use. The ability to apply for the jobs through Indeed is extremely beneficial. The information pulled from the employers ads, and simplified is very useful. The resume builder was great, I haven't needed to deal with creating a resume in years. And the huge bonus....I got the job!

What to expect with indeed

Indeed was helpful when finding a job, because my resume was always available and job location where were rather easy to look up. I would get notifications from indeed with suggestions for jobs, updates on my applications, and text messages when a company would respond. When I found a job and a job I am happy with I may add, I was thankful that there was a source like indeed that could help. So I greatly appreciate your companies assistance in helping me find me job. Thank you
