Job searching in indeed
I got a job through the platform. It's a genuine site for job seekers.
Pros
This is a free platform for a job seeker which is easy to handle it. There are more and more jobs available and easy to communicate.
Cons
It's much better than other job-seeking a platform and easy to get a job without any payment.

Synonymous with excellence in Human Talent Recruiting...!!!
A significant problem arises when applicants do not complete their resumes on Indeed and submit a partial resume for a job. Ease of use is evident when looking at potential candidates for open positions. Be very clear about the quality of resumes based on those sent through Indeed. It makes my work life very simple.
Pros
In addition, the filter questions and interview functions of mobile phones and smartphones save a lot of time, effort, and effort. I used to waste candidate time and schedule the telephonic interview to do what Indeed now routinely does for me. Although it is the best application in terms of recruiting and UI, it is amicable and easy to integrate. We have integrated it with our company software and imported and exported the candidate contacts files directly.
Cons
I don't like being optional for candidates to list their positions. Sometimes we get applications from candidates who passed the evaluation but ended up not being local. I also want candidates to verify their phone number, as some candidates add an inactive number to the question making it difficult to contact them. Apart from that, it is mind-blowing application.

Naukri RMSReasons for Switching to Indeed
After comparing with other alternatives, we matched various pros and cons and their pricing too. In the end, we needed a tool to work over technical profiles mainly, and so we finally picked Indeed due to its good reviews.- Industry: Hospitality

Indeed Bittersweet
My overall experience with Indeed has been a love and hate relationship. Since it is the leading program helping people find jobs we are at it's mercy as it pertains to policy changes and pricing.
Pros
Indeed streamlines applications from potential employees and lets you reach out to them via their many messaging options. The preset templates are a huge help in reaching out to a big number of people at the same time. The amount of people using indeed is also a huge positive for the program as it seems it is the only way to hire and get hired right now. Their assessments and customization of the hiring ad is also a very big plus, if the applicant decides to do them.
Cons
Indeed has many small underlying problems. One of the biggest is the ability for employees to rate employers. Often times this is misused by disgruntled employees and they will leave fraudulent negative reviews. Where this becomes a problem is that there is no resources to deal with fraudulent employer reviews and often times leads potential employees to shy away from applying or withdraw their application because of someone else's experience.
Another negative aspect of Indeed is the way Indeed lets you pay for these services. Often times leading you to overspend on a job posting, you can either set a spending limit or pay by the application. Problem is if you are not sponsoring your hiring ad, it will significantly inhibit your hiring ad from being seeing by potential employees.

Paid Version is Pointless
In general, the free version is useful and should be an automatic posting option for any Recruiting/Talent Acquisition department if it isn't already cross-posted by your ATS automatically. In a free version, you can excuse how bad the software is, which is pretty bad. However, their freemium aggregate model of scraping jobs from thousands of other sites and making their website a one-stop shop for job searchers made them the #1 job posting site quickly. But the dirty little secret is that this model isn't sustainable, and like Monster and Amazon, their first goal was to grow their user base, and then try to force paid versions onto their user base. However, unlike Monster, their product is only good because it was unique and free. There are tons of other sites that now use the aggregate scraping model and are much better programs. In addition, Google-for-Jobs has pretty much made Indeed obsolete by offering the same ability, but using the vast superior searchability of Google with an already existing Millennial user-base. The software is better, and it already syncs with google search. Regarding the paid version of Indeed, it just isn't worth it unless you recruit in large cities, you may need to use the paid version in order to not be buried quickly in their ads, but even then, the effectiveness is debatable when you can update the ad or repost it every few days. Even in larger cities, I haven't seen any quantifiable benefit of using the paid version.
Pros
As an aggregate job posting site, it is a must have for any recruiting department to use on a daily basis.
The free hosting feature is automatically done on most ATS programs.
Because they scrape from so many websites, job postings with them will reach even tough markets like Physicians, whereas Careerbuilder, Zip, Monster, etc. do NOT reach these.
Cons
Google-for-Jobs has made Indeed all but obsolete.
Their "paid" version is pointless compared to the free version. We have tested several times and have seen hardly any, if any, quantifiable difference for the huge cost, regardless of what the sales team says.
Their resume database is horrible in search function and results, although, useful in that you can pay per resume pull.
They are aesthetically the Craigslist of job search websites. The site is ugly (relative), hard to become a power user on (like Linkedin), and is only successful because of their Freemium aggregate model.

Best Job Posting Platform Overall!
My overall experience with indeed has been 7/10. I spent months fighting for my employer account back after a mistake that someone in my company made. Indeed was very hard to get in touch with until I didn’t stop calling or giving up…it’s hard to actually talk to a human at indeed. Other than that, my experience has been great! I’ve made several hires on the application.
Pros
Indeed had access to a very large candidate pool, allowing you to make hiring easier than other job applications.
Cons
Some jobs get flagged easily by indeed and they offer no insight as to why or how that happened. Some of the people that use indeed mass-report jobs because they think they are “scam post” but they aren’t.
