Indeed Hiring Platform Reviews & Product Details

To start, Indeed is one of the most useful and user-friendly platforms. I’ve been using it for over three years and have never had any issues. I can connect with employers and job seekers around the world and have the opportunity to showcase my abilities, experience, education, and skills. Last but not least, it’s free to use and connects you with suitable job postings based on your résumé. How could I forget the video interviews? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, I dislike the fact that I still have applications under review with no response from the employers. I also sometimes get rejected immediately, and I assume it’s because their AI is screening my application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The things I like most about Indeed are that you can create a profile and upload your CV so that every recruiter or employer can see your résumé and easily find you that way, without your having to go to the company to look for a job. You can receive job notifications on this app that match your experience, apply using the app, and get more job offers simply by publishing your résumé online based on your experience.

To be quite honest, there is nothing I dislike about Indeed so far, as it has been the most helpful platform to use when searching for a job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Indeed is the flexibility it offers when searching for different types of job opportunities. The search filters help narrow down roles based on job type, location, and experience level, which is useful when looking for internships or entry-level positions. I also like that I can maintain my resume and profile, apply to different openings, and manage everything through the My Jobs section. The employer profile visibility is another useful feature because it gives recruiters an opportunity to discover candidates. Overall, Indeed makes the job search process more accessible and easier to manage without having to visit multiple company websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike about Indeed is that applying for jobs does not always lead to clear communication from employers. Applications can remain under review for a long time without any update, making it difficult to know whether there is still a chance or whether the position has been filled. I also feel that some listings lack sufficient details about responsibilities, salary, or selection criteria. Improving listing verification and providing more transparent application updates would make the platform more reliable for job seekers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a Finance Manager, hiring isn’t my core job — but when my company asked me to build out our sales team, I needed a platform that was easy to pick up quickly. Indeed stood out because I could create an employer account and post my first job within minutes, without any HR background or training.

The dashboard made it simple to manage applications, filter candidates, and communicate with applicants in one place. For someone like me, who was stepping into hiring for the first time, the low learning curve and clear interface were a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since I’m not an HR professional, I found that some of the more advanced recruiting features (like detailed candidate scoring or pipeline management) took time to understand.

Also, while the volume of applicants is high, I had to spend time filtering out irrelevant profiles, especially for sales roles where many candidates apply broadly. Sponsored postings can also add up in cost if you’re trying to reach enough qualified candidates quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What helps with indeed is that when I am looking for a job within and outside of my profession it will alert me on the advertised jobs, It also allows you to network with another people using the platform by being able to view their profiles. Indeed does not only advertise jobs within South Africa but also advertises across the globe. I received an alert on an overseas job to work at a call center this was exciting for me because it was an opportunity I was willing to take and it was going to be work from home which was a bounce.

What I don't like about the indeed platform, is that after applying to a numerous advertised posts the a few to less responses or feedback. While applying lack transparency which causes doubt, also on this platform when experiencing an issue there is no way to resolve the issue while on the platform.

Over the past 6 years, I’ve used Indeed to post jobs for every company I’ve worked with, across different industries and role types. What I like most is the consistency of the platform — it’s easy to create and publish a job post quickly, and the candidate pool is large and diverse.

The employer dashboard keeps applications, messages, and job details in one place, which makes managing hiring across different companies much more organised.

Features like candidate invites and skills assessments have also helped me shortlist faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside is that sponsored postings can get expensive, especially when trying to reach enough qualified candidates for niche or senior roles. I also find that while the volume of applicants is high, the quality can be inconsistent, so I spend time filtering out irrelevant applications.

Occasionally, I’ve noticed job posts staying live longer than needed or needing manual updates, which can be frustrating when managing multiple postings at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Over the past 3 years, I’ve used Indeed to post multiple job openings and manage applications for our company. What I like most is how easy it is to create and publish a job post quickly, and how large the candidate pool is. The employer dashboard keeps applications, messages, and job details in one place, which makes day-to-day recruiting much more organized. I also appreciate features like the ability to invite specific candidates to apply and see skills assessments, which help me shortlist faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The free job posting for the verified businesses is a great plus as there are lot of businesses where they don't let the H.R Post the job due charges and etc, the free job posting allow H.R from such business to convince the Manager or head and allow them gain some insights on posting.

The one thing that I dislike is the Indeed Resume template, this one feature where indeed allows the candidate to change their resume to Indeed resume and they will have better job chances, the truth is that the indeed resume is not good at all, it doesn't convert the resume properly multiple times the indeed resume template is having wrong details are filled in wrong columns and missing a lot of information.

I like how it can handle many jobs at once. I hire truck drivers in 11 cities in the eastern half of the USA. I can advertise in all locations and tailor my job posting to the needs in each one of my locations. I can also give access to just the local employees for the jobs they are responsible for and no others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have a very hard time with granting access to individual users in various locations. I spent half my day just today trying to give access to my Cleveland Ohio office. I had to give up and let them use my access so they could get their jobs done. I will be contacting cust srvc about this now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how easy it is to search for candidates, review resumes, and connect with potential hires all in one place. It saves me time and makes the overall recruiting process feel smoother and more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, it can be challenging to find candidates with very specific skill sets, especially for niche roles. More advanced search filters and better ways to narrow down relevant candidates would make the platform even more useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
