"Great for non-HR managers to hire quickly, with some filtering needed for applicant quality"

What do you like best about Indeed Hiring Platform?

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.

What do you dislike about Indeed Hiring Platform?

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 problems is Indeed Hiring Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

Indeed solved the problem of me having to hire a sales team without an HR department or dedicated recruiter. I was able to post jobs, collect applications, and manage candidates independently, which saved me from outsourcing the process or slowing down hiring.

The platform gave me a structured way to handle recruitment alongside my finance responsibilities, and I was able to start interviewing candidates within days of posting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
