Solid 6 or 7, had interviews from it for my field. Downside. Subway comes up in graphic design searches cuz "sandwhich artist".

Really depends on what role you're hiring for... Indeed is a fine for certain roles but more specialized the skill set less effective can be
@edsfcity
I am a bit bias here but it's a 10!
@DannyEager
7. We have used it to hire 20+ people. Hiring is a game of quantity, and indeed has that. It would be dream to help you more, let me know.
@emjohnson17
7-10, would recommend, but make sure the filters are really honed to what you're looking for. I got a lot of false positives to sift.
@ErikNemes
Depends on the type of work. Check out Jobble if you need hourly workers
@Bobby_Blazer
10. I've used it to find my previous three jobs. You can save your job searches. Even look at different regions (.fr, .Co.UK, .de). Love it.
@nssaltfarmer
2 - barely usable in Eastern Canada

5-6. Last used few yrs ago; was unimpressed w UI & search results. But could be employer types I was targeting were not using the platform.

10 - super easy to use and great applicants.
@AskAuntSandy
I'd rate it a 9. Plenty of jobs listed, plenty of employers review it, it let's you know how many others have applied for that job

yes they are the best for certain industries because of the coverage. i have a friend there if you need

Also, it's just too bare bones. Think the others (and others) are better.
@robflom
Short term weakness: only major job board not included in the Google Jobs indexing / long term: all job boards will die out.
@noelfinney
For job seeking I give it a 5. No matter how specific I am it returns inappropriate jobs for me.

Hi Tim, it is quite popular in Germany. One of the best aggregator search sites for free. I would go for 9 (missing one for exclusiveness).

@bbuffa_WMU
Yes. Currently in post-college job search. Have used for searching, very linear in options. Have resume in database. No success. (1/2)
@bbuffa_WMU
I'd say it's a decent source, but other options like Glassdoor are more appealing and helpful. Indeed is strictly for postings.
@Bachy68
0 was hiring for a sales position got nothing
@SethLieber
I've found jobs to apply for. I'd say 7. The resume section is garbage in regards to formatting.
@ylccstu
We use it lots! It's not as good as it used to be. They have added road blocks and charges to hinder the poster. Did give it 8 now 6

5/10 - agree with above posters. Depends on the job. My co. has lots of low skill laborers, and hasn't been great for that. Good UI though

@fishsticks81
Being on the other side of the table. The employee did not care for it. 2/10

We had a bad experience getting our listing up, and it was impossible to get out of their sales pipeline after. I'll never use them again.

@Rvk32604403
Yep used them for job search in Canada. Good tool but for job search LinkedIn is better
@TomRayner4
Yes have used with good results for hiring. Better for contactor with technical skills.

only job site I've ever used. Also my go-to for hiring. Easily searchable, but I imagine it's better for certain industries. 8/10

@ObjectvInvestor
Indeed is the best platform-many employers use it & great features for email alerts, filters, sorting. I've used it for tech & related jobs.
@AmyEFord
Game-changer in the sourcing world. Can be a very powerful tool for many kinds of roles but ineffective for others.

I'd recommend it for avg. salaries. I think has something on using this in his niche site
@TheDrewClark
7 The bid service is helpful, but costly with a lower talented recruitment. Monitor the bids as they can spin out of control like Adwords

7, is best platform

solid 7 ... like ease of use and reasonable pricing
@Alilaw_5
I liked looking at it to see what employers were looking for in my area.
@GrotonCow
7. Google for job searches
@ThibaulTylerE
6 b/c I landed current job. You can narrow search w/in very specific criteria or based on your different resumes. Too much noise to filter.
@KimboSlice__
I have used this simple website to find work. But I don't like it much b/c employers don't take down old job posts they have already filled
@KimboSlice__
Correction: I have used the website to try and find work. Plenty of options for hourly based jobs. Job descriptions are very detailed.
@OddGeoBlue
We get most of our applicants from that site at my job!
@BYOfuture
I lead hiring at my company and use indeed on a weekly basis. 3/10 for engineer hires. 8/10 for admin/hr/marketing than technical hires.
@scottgtweets
Used it for job hunting. Would recommend, 7+, one stop search engine for job postings.
@TonyRiveraJr
9 it's effective if you set the filters correctly
@wfguy
I'd rate it a solid 8, my wife used it and she received quite a few offers. I've also used it at work to find good sales rep candidates.
@JPetes6
7. I like Glassdoor more though.
@clemsontigersEB
6-great for job seekers not job searches, also sponsored posts get repeated on subsequent pages
@Jon_needs_a_job
3/10. Easy to use. I feel like what's the point of applying through indeed if everyone else does. I've gotten 1single interview from there
@dkolbaba
They do a great job of Seo for their own company. So when you search anything job related, they come up first. Perfect for biz owners 10/10
@rowhby29
9/10. 2nd biggest hiring breakthrough in last 15 years. Like anything it requires finding nuance, but dramatically improves applicant ratios

Good for searching for jobs but subscription service has issues...sends irrelevant job posts. Still one of the better job sites...7 of 10.

@HTFIII
Both @Monster & @CareerBuilder are train-wrecks. @DailyMuse still has promise, but has been trending downward.
@mitchellgoss
6.5 I recommend applying for any jobs posted by recruiters whether you actually want the job or not. Get in their database.
@HTFIII
8 or 9.  Needs some UX improvements here & there. Still best mainstream job board.
@nickvivos
I use them for one of my businesses and I've had adequate responses from candidates both with and without paid ads through their platform.
@ALovingUniverse
6/10 good aggregator, not useful for resume posting, for IT - Dice and Monster get more resume attention
@spencerowland
Great source for hiring part time help. Tons of applicants compared to other options I've used.

Yes, we posted a job opening. Results were 50/50 as far as quality. We did get quite a number of applications. I would recommend
@CigarsGolf
7, would recommend. Easy to use. Downside is you get a lot of junk. But I got better results than more expensive services.
@JosephDitzel
8-9. Much better than careerbuilder and @Monster.com. Less scammy posts.
@mgttrautman
7. Looking at it from both an applicant and business owner it has pros and cons. Lots of applicants not a great user interface
@MarriedMerryman
6 for people trying to get jobs on there. Way too many applicants per job.
@ludz86
I have hired 6 people on indeed since the start of the year. I give it an 8 I would recommend a friend use it to find a job and to hire!
@bmartyna
Yes. 8. Good search and liquidity and not Glassdoor which operates much like a criminal enterprise.
@GregGeter
7.5 The aggregation of several sources is very helpful. Still have to hit Dice for a more complete picture.

@FreedomCKer
My sister has attempted to use it. Seems to be a lot of sh!t jobs, many expired or not even real. Best to go straight to companies directly.
@ThomasGeelens
Used it to find a job, it works, that's all I can say. It's nothing extraordinary.
@Not_Tucker24
7 bc you must have a clear idea of job you want, depends a lot on where you live, for part time work Craigslist is better
@robbartz
Yes, 6 of 10, used to broaden my search, not the best, so many posts are posted across sites... some aren't, very frustrating!
@JermGir
I like that you can follow companies and they will update you when that company posts a job. But may not get a job with an indeed referall
@veeryatin
Use it for free but don't put your credit card.. You will not be able to remove it
@UFHsocial
7.5/10 (above average, worth using) I use it to get an idea of what businesses are hiring in the area before knocking on their door.
@PersonnellyLLC
we use indeed.com very often! And couldn't say more nice things about!
@jeff_billington
10 it's the google of job searches
Marietta Gentles Crawford
Yes, I would give it a 7. it's pretty decent for getting *real* job leads, although I don't recommend it as the only platform to use as part of a job search strategy.
Richard Gawlas
Solid 7. Because it's an aggregator, I've found potential job opportunities that I couldn't find through niche sites. User experience is simple and functional, but leaves much to the imagination.
Bryce Bonnette
I used it to find my current job. Also used it as a recruiting tool for a startup in college. 7 out of 10 for sure. Would highly recommended, it definitely makes job searching simple and efficient.
Kimberly Baillargeon
6 it has plenty of job postings but the system is flooded with applicants that only about 3% of people get a call back for an interview based off of their applications. Employers are able to filter all that junk by searching candidates online. There needs to be a new system but I am not forward thinking enough when it comes to technology to come up with one on my own. Between Monster, Indeed,Careerbuilder, and ZipRecruiter they are all basically the same.
Matt MacLean
6. Pretty good, but not great, leads. Have yet to hire from an Indeed lead.
Alex Drago
2/10 - it just dumps massive amounts of random stuff.
Allan Levine
2, it's hard to get noticed as a small company. Also it's not very well organized in the backend
Kristi Allen
One of the best recruitment sites- may be better that LinkedIn (shhhh....)
Bernardo Buchsbaum
9 - we use the recruiting tools so this is from a recruiting perspective
Adriano Brito
I would give 7. I've added indeed as a tool in my job search to increase the leads, it's an aggregator and that's it.
Sean Douglas
I would say 8 or 9. I use key words and emails come in. For example, I get emails with keywords "conference" and "Speaker". These are the people who hire speakers and that's who I need to know. Different jobs will come up with those words in job description.
John Horn
2 out of 10, I've used it for both looking and hiring. The leads are terrible, I was getting people that honestly seemed to be using it just to say they applied for a job to continue to collect unemployment. So many no shows, so many unqualified candidates.
Michael Schroeder
7.. A focussed Craigslist , decent filters but like Richard Gawlas previously stated, an aggregator which draws from many sites.
Michael Dagenais
6. It's ok, never had as much luck with it as I did with linkedin
Atul Sharma
It's a great aggregator of jobs I'd give it an 8.
Luke Starbuck
Tim It's an 8. Great value (can be free), decent results, simple to set up and fast. I have used their free posting system to ensure our jobs were posted (vs scraped off our website). Had a load of applicants (bay area).. many of whom were not qualified. But some good diamonds in the haystack if you can afford to time to wade through.
Erik Burd (博瑞)
6 - mostly hit and miss. I get contacted periodically from it but it's more like Craigslist
Anuraag Mohan, Ph.D.
For all those who are not happy with Indeed, can you suggest a better site.
Michael Ripa
very close to 10.. we do 99% of our recruiting there
David C. Showell, CRPC
8, much much better than Zip Recruiter
Jenny Garcia
I will give an 8. .. When I applied for a job in a day or less I used to receive a call from the company I applied for.
Stephanie Hardman
I had far better results on Indeed.com than Linkedin when it came to searching for work, Linkedin (sorry!) was a lot of spammy ads, Indeed had higher quality as well as some incredible wage and research data. In short, my latest position I was found on Indeed and then the recruiter reached out on Linkedin. Hope that helps!
Melanie Spritz
2 Lacks relevance with jobs it gives to actual skills as listed in a resume or CV
Bret Thomas
I've used it before to look for local job openings. I'd give it a 6. Nice to see what's around and available for free, but I've never gone further than just looking.
Scott Jennings
In my experience indeed is better for my industry. In fact I'm still wondering why LinkedIn is still in business.
Maura Kolkmeyer
1, overflow of poor candidates, way too many notification emails
Rachael Sutton
For job listings, they are usually the most on target and timely. Not sure how many people get the jobs they list through them though.
Deborah Faust-Irwing
I use it find that the jobs post late on the web site. I do like it though because you can get the notifications on everything you put into the system
Simon Alexander Breedon
To be completely honest, I don't know the answer to the question. It is a toss-up; it could be 0 or it could be 10, because as a job seeker, I personally don't ask recruiters or employers where they found my resume or heard about me. They also seem to be guarded with that information as well. I also believe anyone who seeks a job just on indeed, just on Glassdoor, just on Work Remotely, CyberCoders, totaljobs, LinkedIn, Creative Mornings, or any of the other sites by themselves is not really serious about finding work. I combine them all and wouldn't have the first clue about which one is getting me the best results. I also think most true seekers do this so they wouldn't be able to give a fare answer either way. I will say they seem to have all the listings most other sites have as well as listings other sites don't have.
Michael R. Frazier
As you can see, rankings are all over your scale, depending on individual experience. Indeed is only as good as your job posting, the talent you seek and geography. We're in a period of talent scarcity, which will affect the quality of candidates at many levels. I recommend various job boards/resources based on desired skill/discipline.
Jeremy Bennett
Excellent market research tool for demand in various job markets and niche areas. The best. 10
Michael Scott, MBA
From a job seeker, prospective Indeed is a 6 with more quantity over quality jobs posted. Coupled with added click through to company website it typically is where I start but rarely complete an application.
JW Chang
It depends on your objective for using the site. As a job hunting tool, I would give it a 4. As a market research tool for getting insights into hot workplace job trends, 5 or 6 at best.
Jessika Wynn
A strong 7. I've found a couple positions on Indeed. I enjoy reading the reviews form current and/or former employees. Recruiters have reached to me on Indeed but the jobs were dead end opportunities.
Nosh Ghazanfar
I have used it here in Australia, I would give it a 5. Seems like they pick up postings from other services as well.
David Chappell
I got banned within an hour of signing up. No explanations, just "you're out". I made one post, it wasn't anything that I wouldn't have posted here. I never did find out what I could have done wrong.
Josh Damsma, MA
It's okay a lot is outdated
Paul Hesketh
Depends what it's to advertise. I work in leisure, so have some generic roles such as cleaners, receptionists, etc, so it can be quite useful for those roles, but when I gets a bit less generic, such as a Swim Manager post I advertised recently, I get either a very low number of applications, or applications that aren't suitable. I'd say a 6 overall
Jody Robert Ford
It's okay for job leads. Better than monter. The salary estimates are useless.
Greg Anderson
3 for my situation but I can see the value if looking to fill non-specialized roles. I've tried to use it in Australia to recruit B2B sales professionals but was unsuccessful. I found I was getting a lot of responses from candidates who were clearly under-qualified or just submitting their resume to any and all postings. Realizing we're looking for a more specialized candidate we reverted to LinkedIn filters and word of mouth which has been very successful.
Jayme Smaldone
10 -Works for finding summer interns
Erik Hart
I'm a little biased, okay, a lot biased. ZipRecruiter all the way!
Carl Gilbertsen
It's the best place to start with a job search because all other sites roll up to indeed. If you want to know what's out there it's the place to start
Fritz Eichelberger
3...many, far less than ideal candidates, some outright lie to the qualifying questions, and recently Google Jobs has severely negatively impacted number of Indeed applicants for any job posting.

Selma Ben Hamouda
I used indeed and I'll give ot a rate of 7/10 for accuracy and easyness to find the right job and to apply for it, once you create your account and apload your CV in it...It's usefull even on a ling term...Hope I helped
Scott Raymond
Maybe a 4 or 5. Don't make your resume public or you will get bombarded with emails and phone calls. I have tried it many times when switching jobs. The positions I switched to did not come from an Indeed posting. Good site to see jobs but too many temp agencies filling up the job posts.
 Needs more options like uploading your own CV or connecting other websites alike and a better graphical design wouldn't hurt anyone. 7/10.
Melanie Ross
For entry level positions it's not bad. Everything else, there are better solutions. 6/10
Chays Love
I have used indeed.com to both find work and hire employees. I have been very pleased with both. The only complain I would give is that their internal email was sometimes spotty. I would overlook something because I hadn't received a notification. So male sure you do a regular check.
Thomas Fallwell
It got me interviews in the small town of Evansville, Indiana, so I have to say it's pretty decent. It doesn't have as much info as Glassdoor, but it makes it easy to apply for several jobs. 7/10.
Jason Wright
Haven't been impressed with Indeed. Hunting people down on LinkedIn is far more effective.
Lori OsterlohHagaman
I've landed three jobs over the last eight years through indeed
Jacob Donaldson
10 their #1 in the world for reason. And all the other sites use Indeed anyway. Lol. Cut the middle men.
Alex Jones
From the perspective of using the free version of indeed to post jobs I would rate it a 2. Very low quality of applicants come through from your postings and then you get spammed by their sales reps. I appreciate that it is a free tool but the hassle and low results made it simply a waste of my time. I no longer use it.
Tim Frietas
2-3. Underdog.io is miles ahead in NYC anyway
Gabor Badonfai
I tried searching for Financial Systems Director positions and it gave me every position with "Director", "Finance" or "Systems in the title. Maybe they could try to use google? From an applicant prospective I would probably rate it a 2 at a glance, but I do not have extensive experience.
Garth Martin
4 out of 10. I used indeed for several job searches and actually ended up getting my current job because of the platform. That being said, can't say that I particularly like the platform or any job search site. I think we're missing a quality solution to the "Job Search" problem - over-saturation of job postings that try to appeal to the widest possible candidate list, yet at the same time with relatively high barriers to actually getting a job. My perspective is only from a job seeker and things may be differently coming from an employer.
Diana Wallace
I've used indeed. I have had numerous interviews.
Christopher Reddick
I've used it, but not for the reason everyone else here is.
Yvonne Garcia
1 or 2 . You will get many candidates but they are unqualified or fail to show for interviews. I was disappointed, but you may have better luck.
Casey Dean
Attention indeed.com! Free market research!
Casey Dean
Tim give me 10 seconds and I'll tell you why can skip indeed and give me an internship instead!
Alvaro Báez
To me it is a 9. It makes it easy and simple. But to be honest i do not know too many others
Srii Srinivasan
5, possibly 6. We got many unqualified candidates and their internal system needs a lot of improvement.
Daly Miskowiec
As a job seeker, I believe Indeed is far superior to any other job boards out there. Any time I try using the competitor job sites I immediately get bombarded with spam emails and sales jobs that aren't at all relevant to my field.

Omer Molad
Joel Cheesman Chad Sowash I believe you may have some views on this topic 😉
Megan Kateiva
As an employer I don't like Indeed - no control over your brand (I understand they pull jobs from a range of job boards), candidates don't follow the application process. Most often candidates aren't suitably qualified. It's a 0/10 for me 😐
Jamie Cunningham
have used it for recruiting in Canada with success. 8/10. Reasonably effective and easy to use.
Atom Joseph McCree
Gotta do sponsored posts.  I have sourced over 500 restaurant candidates using it. Everytime I try No pay, I get no results. It also let's you generate a decent job application page to throw on the site too

Tim Ferriss I have leveraged many employee seeking platforms. Indeed I refer to as the Google Adwords for recruiting. It all depends on the role you are looking for. If you do not monitor it can get out of hand expense wise. ZipRecruiter from my experience has been my personal best investment for recruiting.

Online dating and job site applications typically don't get you anything, or don't get you what you want.
John Hooper, AM.APMP
Hi Tim, I used it when I was looking for a new career and I two polar-opposite experiences in one. The aggregation from multiple sources was great for job hunting but many jobs were expired and scraped from other websites meaning there was a considerable amount of filtering needed.
Justin Smith
A staffing agency I designed a website for uses it and likes it... from my mostly technical perspective, I'd rate it a 7 because their website integration for job posters is terrible. There's no way to have a feed that shows only the poster's jobs, it can only show the jobs based on city search. So silly. It shouldn't be that hard to generate a script. 🙄
Kyle Pursell
As an employer, I give it a 9. Great way to manage candidates through job funnel. No need to sponsor ads, they index well on SERP and all you need is a keyword friendly title & body. Really happy with the results we've seen, 50+ candidates per job.
Jonathan Cole
Steven Rainey

If you are to talk of users of job sites, I think I should be in number two if not number one, but the truth is I never get any responses from those companies up till this moment that am typing so I concluded they are all fake. Just believe in yourself in what you are doing. What doing at all is worth doing well as long as there is consistency, perseverance and integrity in it. T he sky will be the limit
Jayne Taylor
2. Easy to apply yet terrible with response. I never heard back from companies that I applied for using Indeed.. My quick apply went into a black hole. If you see a job here, go to the web site to apply. I did receive responses when I applied directly. This may be due to how these companies are managing their flow of applicants with Talent Acquisition Team.
Chris Henderson
Did not use their application process, but found some prospects that didn't pan out, but not really more than LI. I got more recruitments from LI.
Yaron J. Zoller, DBA
Used it to locate and apply for jobs. Easy to use, search and apply but occasionally the application sent through them are ignored. In some cases, i heard from employers that the application though indeed is incomplete and I should submit additional docs not listed on indeed. It's like Wikipedia for jobs - good place to start looking but do not trust the data. Once you find a hiring company, go to that company website to apply.
Ami Cohen
When it comes to finding a job there's no need to search on a job board like indeed anymore. It's about engaging with the company right away on an app like Switch
Kevin Green
We recommend Indeed to our members it's great way to attract good quality candidates. But they are also a business with ethics and integrity.
Simon Chan
Never used it. In the UK there are only 2 job boards I bother with.

Try Glassdoor. Jobs plus good depth and detail into pay, company culture, benefits, interview stories and questions
James Ashford
lol Stephanie Hardman sorry just read your full comment, now everything makes sense :-) Tim Ferriss seems there is a more indirect success route for candidates on indeed. Stephs comment above is absolutely true, we were contacted by a recruiter who searches for CV's of top notch candidates on Indeed, monster and Linkedin,
David Axel
I have used it for recruiting and overall I like it. The downside for my organization is that indeed,com could not connect to our careers website. That meant that everyone who was interested in one of our positions had to contact us through indeed and then we had to reach out to them to send them to our online portal. It made for a time consuming and manual process. We did get a lot of good applicants.
Fergus Bell
My company use it for recruitment. 5/10 does the job. Beware of their telesales team they call pretending to offer assistance but want you to agree to pay a monthly retainer.
Alex Wilson
2 at best. I use it from both angles as an employee looking and as an employer recruiting for a client. The search is horrible. Not many options to drill down where you want to go or for what skills to look for. I am finding many of my emails to candidates using Indeed as a forwarder are going to spam/junk folders and thus are missed as well. I get virtually no responses from employers I have applied to on it. I get inundated now by recruiters that don't read my resume. They are as bad as the number of people sending me resumes for jobs they are not remotely qualified for. The resumes I have bought on there rarely reply. Many of their scraped ads are scraped poorly and are scrapes of other poor scrapes and thus impossible to figure out. I would prefer other options it but it is out of my hands. Maybe for some jobs it is okay but not the ones I recruit for. I had better luck with DICE, LinkedIn, and hitting job fairs for recruiting activities.
Leandro Margulis
Have you checked searchnwork.com?
Thom Greving

Anthony Cessario
8 for candidate experience when looking for jobs; 7 for job board for companies to post to. They make it pretty easy to post jobs to, and have a decent mobile experience for candidates. Both scores would go up if it had a way to align your LinkedIn network with job opportunities, as most top talent is "passive" talent and aren't necessarily looking for jobs unless perhaps recommended by a peer that is respected.
Pushpendu Vimal
I have used it and would give 9 reason being user-friendly , more visible to job seekers and cost effective
Esben Johansen
Interesting, will definitely give it a try.
David Knickerbocker, CISSP
I give them a two.
David Knickerbocker, CISSP
Because you will have better luck just using LI.
Antony Hanson
Zero i eould not tecommend Tbey are all as bad Its all out of date It does not exist It just regenerates other job sites
Daniel Harris
The go to place for a job search
Jordan Davies
I would give it a 4 or 5, seek at least in Australia is a lot more useful.
Jennifer Sanderson
No - waste of time. Way too saturated.
Deano Troy Sutter
I'm giving it a 7 for UX, but a 2 for effectiveness from a job seekers point of view. But I also believe finding a job online through one of these sites is probably one of the most difficult and defeating things you can attempt. Employers will end up getting 100's or 1000's of resumes for a good job and there's no way to fight through the minutiae. Head hunters and personal contacts are the only true way to find jobs these days. You need someone to float you above the noise.
Christine Funk
8 for job seeking in the UK (2 in Germany)
Reydan Gatchalian
So yes I use Indeed for knowing average salary
Faiyaz Khan
It's a reliable job search engine
Robert Keating
I'd give indeed a 10 for their back end web design, algorithms and search engine optimisation. They get a 2 for finding employment.
Tharshany Rajasingham
I have used it and would recommend it. They have an app as well which you can set with your search parameters then you can get the type of jobs you are interested.
Mikhil Raja
Suffers from what economic theory calls 'the overfishing problem'. Employers get hundreds of applications per vacancy without any screening. They don't have the time to go through all the CVs and feel overwhelmed. Therefore they disengage and use other channels (referrals, agencies, walk-ins etc) to hire. This leads to low fulfilment of the job on the platform and low response rates for job seekers. Many comments above reflect this.
Matt Grady
Yeah I latched on to the free recruiter account in April and it gave an instant shot of adrenaline to my searches. Great return on the initial adverts. Seems to have dried up over the last month or so. Indeed are encouraging me to get a paid account but I do think the price point is steep against their competition. Ok branding for employers and it does a good job of integrating all the job boards. So for that reason.......I'll give it an 8 !
Jennifer Inman
I think it depends on the type of work you are looking for - I work in finance and Indeed has been very useful in the past when looking for work locally, particularly for an entry level role but for anything else I would always use Linkedin. You do get a lot of fake jobs on Indeed but they're usually quite easy to weed out (having said that I do know one person who has been stung by scammers).
Alessio Turrisi
0 - Agree with Deano, too much clutter not enough focus.... Head hunter and wom ( word of mouth)
Alexander Türpe
Hi Tim. I use it as a recruiter to get an impression what kind of jobs companys in my region offer. Considering that it is very useful - 9/10. But i also used during jobsearch and then it´s only a 4 or 5. It seems that many jobs are not up to date and some other websites have more useful filter. Of course i can only write about my experience in Germany. All together i would recommend it, but a foremost to get an overview. I´m curious, so why do you ask? Greeetings, Alex.
David Clarke
8 does vary depending on location and industry. Know your keywords if you want to cut through the noise!
Haroon Chaudhry
It depends on how you look at it, some people have had massive success with it and some have struggled to even to secure a job. I have a friends whos used this platform and after a few days secured numerous interviews, then again when I am in the process of looking for roles, there is a lack of quality on the site. Many appear to be cowboy companies looking for the cheapest bargain when it comes to labour, and in some cases they are not what they say they are on the website. Its a hit and miss I would say in terms of the reviews.
Nicola Jones
I've used it from a candidate perspective. Bleh. I'd love a site that wasn't just an ugly pile of bad search terms. I've said this before, but as each industry is different, this one size fits all application process doesn't work.
Ed Andrew
Depends what you want it for. Have used it to drive traffic while scaling a business, it was very effective and very cheap. We were a saas recruitment business with a job board with thousands of jobs, we paid a fractional amount to post a few and the rest were free, those free ones drove a huge amount of traffic back to our site but the quality was poor. So it worked for us for traffic but not in the recruitment sense. Our jobs were mainly high end across front and back office professional and financial services and the quality of candidate was well below that. We used it in Australia and UK.
Bruce M. (INTJ)
Pretty good for job searching...
Michael Craven
Sometimes, I use it as a reference to check salaries scaled by location. Here is list of seven websites. https://www.moneyunder30.com/best-salary-information-websites
Wes Badke
I read a job posting of "Companion" and a bunch of others that looked Hokie. Job boards are not the best place to find jobs, but rather help identify companies.
Joy Suzanne Clarke
Indeed has always been useful for me as company's can also post directly rather than always dealing with agencies, I think you get a good mix of advertisements from various platforms. I have used it as an employer a handful of times and I thought it was great, nice and simple plus it's free to post! I recommend it to everyone :) Sometimes it can seem cluttered but I think that may be just when you're constantly on the lookout for a new position to come up.
Shree Krishna Priya J
I have used it to find jobs. Most of the searches are useful. But, the mobile version of web page is not so impressive. I would recommend it to a friend who badly needs a job in a short span.
Alex Kavel
I'd suggest looking at Indeed Prime.
Jennifer Yeko
Job boards rarely work. That's why Recruiters still exist. If you're an employer, you get 99% random people applying to any job you post and if you're a candidate, you will likely not hear back from anyone hiring.
Teresa Fisher CertHRCertRP
They have almost menacing sales tactics now that its not free . I didnt appreciate their almost blackmailing approach that was used.
Matthew Witchalls (LION)
For candidates looking for a new job maybe a 7 or 8 cause it's simple and easy to use, but for recruiting candidates like maybe a 1... The job posting side of things is okay but for sourcing candidates it's not aweful
Scott Allan
I'm in Australia Tim and is not currently the preferred platform. I trialled it recently with very limited success. With the main player being a company called seek here the UI and CX was limited compared what I was used to. Along with the fact no one here in Oz is overly familiar with it led to a disappointing experience. That being said it was purely an experiment and I will keep an eye on future developments here
Samantha Marshall Dip.RSA
Hubby has picked up many freelance contracts from indeed.com. I landed an interview with Air New Zealand in Auckland. Indeed is no different to the other job vacancy options out there from a seekers point of view. From a hirers point of view, it could be very very different.
Deepa Palande
Have used indeed, it is a good job aggregator and also includes ratings by past employees, similar to glassdoor. Also Indeed is very good in good coverage of local opportunities, having used it both in Singapore and New Zealand.
LeAnda Lewis-Davis
I've used it for job searching. Hasn't Benn super helpful for me but it is a good tool. Has some major annoyances though, like when the same 4-5 jobs show up on every page.
Alex Bandraburu
Up until now it has been proven to be quite the aggregator, meaning I've been seeing quite a few jobs over there that I don't see in other places. I would give it a 7, because of lack of some filters (such as required experience) and their CV upload format is not top notch.
Bryce Nickel
I get a major of my e-mail notifications from Indeed, it is easier to use than a majority of company/job websites, and sometimes you can use it to directly apply. I would say it's the top website for job seekers for actually finding jobs, LinkedIn is great for building a profile, though Indeed is not that far behind.
Dea Martinjonis
I would also suggest taking a look at https://jobbatical.com/
Dürrin Ergün
Hi Tim, I do use it a lot to look at job openings. It offers lots of content, however it could have much richer functionalities. If I compare it to linkedin, it has ,much more job openings. Linkedin itself I find a bit more dissapointing it doesnt refresh and update or suggest much. I see so many possibilities to improve, unfortunately couldnt find any easy option to share my user feedback to linkedin.
Lynn Smythe
I've used to both find and apply to jobs and to monitor a former employers account. I like the email notifications but find the search function still gives me a lot of results that have nothing to do with what I'm searching for. I find a lot of the other similar sites (like Monster and ZipRecruiter) almost spammy compared to Indeed.
Scott Gray
Myself and several former coworkers have used indeed.com to find the next steps in our careers. I give it a 9.
Rick Potter
I have used them and I would rate them a 6. Looking for a job I would give them an 8. They have several postings and they make it easy to look for a specific job or a specific industry. If you are looking to hire I would rate them a 4. I don't know of any success stories where someone was hired using the site and I have never identified a solid candidate.
Hagen Reedy
I would rate Indeed a 6-7. Recently, I have found several scam jobs or job descriptions that are inflated or just incorrect. Although it may not be Indeed's job to verify every posting, there should be something done about this. I have wasted much of my time interviewing and applying to scam. But when postings are true and legit, Indeed is great!
Svetlana Hoffmann
Yes and it's not as good as it was before search results are not picking up the quest well.
Lee McClane
It has a poor search filter, and when you customize your search its impossible to search vacncies in dates sequential order. So as a candidiate you get what you search for but a lot of the content is 30+ days old, which is of no use. This puts candidates off.
Fadi Malouf
Not a fan of Indeed. I use LinkedIn and Glassdoor.
Katherine Chalmers
Not good - it has a lot of scammy/low skilled jobs and does not filter out companies that post dozens of versions of the same job.
Shounak Banerjee
Only 4... it's not connecting users or workers across geographies... lacks feature and not so helpful in terms of networking or sharing ideas
Kristoffer Ritter
8 out of 10
Tiffany Schaible
True Story - after 18 months of unemployment I applied to a job based on an Indeed summary email that I did not even know I had subscribed to. After countless easy apply's on LinkedIn and applications through traditional and employer sites, this one random hit from Indeed is how I arrived in my current position. For me at least - it's worth a shot.
Shawn C.
Until google jobs comes, indeed is a great search engine.
Joshua Ellenburg
6. I found my job through it. You have to sift through a lot of irrelevant job postings and sponsorships but it is a great place to search for jobs.
Tina McGuire
I give Indeed a 7. I like how it's laid out, the app, the notifications, and the lack of Spam. I'm using it as my first choice in my current search, as my IT department will be taken over by IBM on October 1. But, I also use Careerbuilder as a second source. It is more wide reaching but produces a lot of Spam.
Alex Morton
Alistair Dent interesting comments about indeed.com
Hayley Brown
Neil Ray thought this might interest you.
Robert Patterson
0...I have applied to many jobs and get zero responses.
Sharon Venuto
I have tried them once. I have had friends mention success, however for entry level positions it is difficult to tell which jobs are authentic.
Paul Hobbs
I haven't been terribly impressed. The posts are generally old and my search criteria ("attorney" / "lawyer") yield irrelevant results.
Michael Hodgins
10/10 for job hunting. Best resource to find work in my opinion. Would recommend to anyone looking for work.
Stephen Whittle
Yes - found it very useful to recruit a local PA. And my kids have used it to chase jobs - one was very successful at getting what they wanted.
Cole Lutz
Are you hiring?
Neil Ray
Thanks for the tag Hayley , I would say 2/3 Tim for many different reasons. Pm me for the details
Grant Price
From an IT recruiter perspective, it has a good database of technical people, but the UI is not that great, and that causes unnecessary time to be spent sourcing resumes.
Angie L.
Tim, I like using Indeed with Advance Job Search options and would give it a score of 8. I agree with your respondents that one needs to get use to sifting through the sponsorship jobs. Example, Indeed tells you it has retrieved 3 jobs for you, but you see 8 jobs. I would love to see a way that bypasses HR and get directly to the hiring manager. A person who is eager to get to work can waste hours applying for jobs. I hear HR individuals complain that there are not enough good workers out there, but I think there needs to be a better way that improves this process. It sounds like both sides are frustrated. Perhaps, a more interactive networking job site or a non-profit that organizes networking opportunities for job seekers with opportunities for the job seekers to show their skills. It's much easier to find a job through personal contact with people than it is on-line. Best wishes!
Tahnee Donkin
As an employer I'd give it 9 out of 10! I receive more recruitment leads through Indeed, it's free (although you can pay to sponsor adverts), you can set up a branded career page and I love the employer dashboard for managing applicants.
Thomas Coffman
Hey Tim, So over my pass years I have used Indeed to look for work. Once I was able to tailored my resume to indeed I was able to find all of the companies who where hiring in my area. Only thing about Indeed that I did not like is that they did not update there job posting for jobs that were over 30 days old to jobs that were filed by the companies. They do offer a wide range of options for you to search for your own needs. On a scale of 1 to 10. 8.5
Anouk Guelidi
Most of the vacancies in my field of expertise have been either posted in professional websites or hidden market. Most of the jobs in indeed.com have not been relevant to my field of expertise. However, It is a good lead to find employers that have needs and to bring to their attention my expertise. It also a good lead to know employer and which one you would like to work for. So, I give a 7.
Claire Smith
Tim. I would give indeed a 9, always lots of jobs on there when I search and easy to apply as well
Beth Vavoularis
I use indeed for many years I would give it a 7. It was a good platform for our needs and Industry. Was user-friendly and easy to use
Timo Philip Burmeister, M.A.
UX is more like a 4
Rosemary Cox, SPHR , SHRM SCP
I have several clients that use it and seem very happy with it
Gabriella Ronzoni
I use it a lot whenever I search for new jobs. Is a great plataform for Chef's jobs.
James Restelli
Indeed will become irrelevant now that Google has released Google for Jobs. Just like MapQuest became irrelevant after Google released Maps.
Katherine Orihuela
I use it for three things: 1) Post jobs -- I get mixed results, but there are great people using it to hunt jobs so it's still a win-win; 2) Research the trends in my industry -- i.e. What skills are employers looking for now for the same job title I hold (or higher) so I can keep up; and 3) Research on overall job trends -- https://www.indeed.com/jobtrends is a great tool. I'd give it a 10/10.
Pamela (Pixie) Lay
I have used quite a bit in the recent past and I would give the app and overall 7 out of 10. There was a glitch for awhile with it not saving Canada as my country and I was receiving many job offers from Vancouver, WA and beyond. I would definitely recommend them to people alongside myperfectresume.com. I find those two apps/sites although not meant to go together actually work rather well. The reason I would recommend it is because it's easy to use (minus a few glitches)and they are definitely consistent with keeping you on track for finding employment, reminding you of jobs you have saved and messages from potential employers.
Dr. D McNamara Everett
With your expertise I would suggest ladders.com.
Shelley Elmblad
9. It's ugly but it works.
Jeffery Fontenot, PE
8/10 it's a great job finding tool. My wife used it during her search for a nursing job.
Wade Pitts
I think a better and more cost effective solution is www.hiremojo.com which automates the front end of the hiring process. It's straight forward. Added bonus for Tim, in dissecting world class greatness, the founder was part of the US National Rowing team. At under 6 feet, I think that's impressive.
Darrin Helsel
Probably a 6. It's search algorithm isn't great, and it's UI is pretty sparse. Otherwise the simplicity is a benefit.
Jacob Fenuccio
5. Great for leads, not great for applying. Definitely use it to the search job openings to then apply on the employer's site.
Tom Newcomer
I use indeed all the time it has more flexibility than the other job search engines. I would give it 8.
Maria Mancia
Depends on the position you're hiring for. I found its not that amazing for finding licensed Physical Therapists - and I'm looking. Curious to see what other sources people use.
Billy Mitcham
It's my primary source for posting at the moment. 8
Loren Fernandes
Hi Tim! We have indeed in Brasil and I've always recommended it for my friends! This website find job opportunities on few websites, so think it is 6.
Steven M. Mumby
I tried indeed.com and it didn't really turn up much. I'd give it a 4. Dice.com, however, was amazing. I posted my resume and I got calls daily. I found the perfect opportunity and the next step in my career where I am now. 10/10 for Dice.com.
Candace Rodgers
I like Indeed.com for job searching, they post the most up to date positions and applying for a position is very easy. I would rate it a 9.
Eddy Kiersz
Yes for recruiting and it pulls a lot more than other websites I've tried.
Patrick Block
I use it with GlassDoor. I like that I can search within a radius by projected salary. 6/10
Andrew Elkind, CFA
I would give it 8/10 - it's probably the best aggregator for jobs open, but it takes a little time to figure out optimal searching if you're looking for something specific. I would recommend it as a starting point and consistent check-in to provide a broad overview of possibilities.
Audrey DeSisto
People have had good luck with it, that is what I hear.
Peter Hewett
I've used it to employ admin staff and I'd score it an 8. As for professional staff it's not the answer so sadly a 3.
Junaid Inamdar
a 2, that’s because I am being too generous :)
Lynn Nguyen
0, feels like monster - outdated for mid-career professionals who are looking. IF I'm searching I'm utilizing LI, glassdoor, and industry/skill specific search sites/firms.
Anton Mikhaylov
Arif Hermanto
Alexander Hubert, CISSP
10! Any online job site that gets the resume to employers and recruiters is a win! If a job is desired, find all job sites and local recruiters with brick and mortar sites nearby and advertise that you are ready and available! Finding a job is a 8-hour per day job!
Mat Bradley-Tschirgi
3. Visually, the site is bland. The breadth of employee reviews on companies pales in comparison to Glassdoor. Never have used it in an HR capacity.
Melisse Deering
I've used Indeed to find clients / freelance work
Paul G Hilton LLB (Hons), Dip Psych
Can't say that I am impressed by them, they seem to pressure you too much
Justin Campbell
Their SVP of Sales is one of the coolest cats. You should have him on the podcast!
Dusko Justic
I used it religiously when looking for jobs a number of years ago. The research led to no jobs but did give me insight into job descriptions. With that said, I give it a 3.
Allen Adjamian
I've interviewed about a 100 people from there and hired a handful, I'd give it an 8/9 and happy to expand on that in detail. if you want, message me.
Nastasja Kapordelis
I use it to source candidates. It is an easy way to navigate through the site. I would highly recommend it.
Jackson Keyes
Seems like a Craigslist of job boards. A few pages in and I found myself questioning the legitimacy of postings. Pales in comparison to LinkedIn or Glassdoor, which simply have much more to offer. On the flip side, for local, smaller businesses, indeed might be more appropriate as opposed to fighting for attention in one of the larger platforms. 3/10
John Kelly
To Look for candidates-great site
John R. Schafer
I agree with Marietta - Indeed is not bad - but also use Glassdoor; Ladders; Linked In for your job search
Phil Samenuk
They are great! Ryan Conlon Evan Danieli
Archi Roy
I would give it 2 as I didn't find it as an useful channel. There are many job postings and I ended up going from one " APPLY " button to another and reached nowhere.
Ian McGrady
I used it for IT HR recruiting - good quality candidates for free by using filters
Arthi Sharma - Open Networker
10 definitely
Helen Pantuso
I know 2 people who recently landed jobs through indeed.
Robert Campagna
I give it a 5. The problem with these websites is based around all the spam jobs that are not vetted.
Karen Buckley
I think it depends on the kind of position you are looking for. If you are looking for a job, I think it fits the bill very well. If you are looking for a career, you may want to use a Site more specific to you needs.
Susan Salk
I just uploaded my resume. I was a bit annoyed to be required to fill out corporate reviews and commentary about past employers. Will users really write truthful statements there? That said, I'm hopeful that having an updated resume "out there" will lead to something. Oh! And it's easy to apply for jobs via Indeed that you find on Indeed.
Cameron Atkinson
In what context? As a recruiter, I hated the PPC job ads, which were a 0 in my opinion. However, their resume database was easily a 10.
Fred Wucherpfennig
I give it a 7. It seems to have more quality jobs listed than the other "major" jobs sites, but its difficult to search - if you input a few search words you find that it will display some of the search results repeated on multiple page, so its hard to sort through. I think the fact that its "bland" looking is irrelevant. I think the reviews are much more legit than what I typically find on Glassdoor - most of those are by someone with an ax to grind. So, overall its pretty good, imho.
Holly Warnick
I've used it a lot in the past. Its a good source to see whats out there, but I get a better call back rating using a variety of different platforms. I'd say 6.
Issa I.
I receive more responses on Indeed then Linked In.
Charlie Neuberger
For IT recruiting, I give it a zero.
Gina Ehsani
From the hiring side - an 8.
Faizneen Barodawala
i would give it a 6.5. A lot of the jobs are listed on indeed versus others and they seemed genuine.
John Marcoccia
Zip Recruiter for job searches.
Tracey Valliere-Evans
One of the websites I always use when looking. I find the search, & email alerts, easy to read &, not like some I receive, just enough to read & discard/follow-up - not too many to peruse over. I've recommended.
Dr.Larisa Varenikova MBA, PhD
Never used
Shirley A.
I can apply from my Smartphone using indeed, but no job offers.
Jaime Kuschert
Love indeed 10
Mary Ann Borer
I much prefer Indeed to Monster or Careerbuilder. 10
Mark Esposito, CSM, CSPO, SA
7 in my book. Easy to apply from my phone or computer or direct pass through to the company website that has posted the job. Simple design. Hit or miss on callbacks though when I apply, but have received cold calls/emails from recruiters about new opportunities . However, I find it's one of the job boards that overseas 3rd party recruiters scrape when looking to blast apply candidates for jobs.
Elena Metcalfe
0 - Have tried to use on multiple occasion over the last five years in my career and have literally never found my jobs through Indeed. They're the usual click driven waste of space with generic and low quality lead sources. Have used LinkedIn Jobs with far more success.
Andrew Sweet

Famata Coleman
It's a great app, I use it for job search and it is perfect for me, you should try it and see
Steven Cospewicz, LCSW
I've been contacted by a lot of great job recruiters, accepted one job, pursuing a per diem position, contacted old colleagues... I give an 8.
Charlie Ludlow
I think Indeed is just ok, a 6 maybe. Bottom line is who you know, how well are you connected. Job boards yield very low response rates.
Desiree Daniels
I'm using indeed website, easy and user friendly but no response .... then again people responding to this post are not from South Africa...where are my fellow members?
Carlee Rossiter
As a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor, I have used Indeed.com for the majority of my clients. From looking in specific areas, to specific types of jobs, and getting clients information out, I've found a lot of success with Indeed. Yes, there can always be ways to improve it, but it also depends on the user. I've been able to use it for mock employment searches, getting clients out to employers who are actually hiring, and informing clients about the job they are interested in and if they are qualified for those positions. I would give it an 8 out of 10.
Rob Schmidt
I receive many contacts and simple to respond to the inquiry. However, no offers yet. I'd say 6 based on outcomes.
Paulo Sobral
8. Like a google for job searches. I don't think I've gotten a job interview from it, but it helps me research the job market
Paul Spinella
What are you trying to measure specifically?
Danielle Green
They are good - I had the app but nothing is consistent and you get jobs still advertised no longer available so they can be counter-productive when you have to send a CV, Fill out a long winded application through a link, I get annoyed at help wanted Pictures of stores carelessly just taking pictures of the window signs. Create accounts for companies ... all to be turned down or never hear anything but that goes with a lot of Job sites. Recruitment process sucks when its long! Even more annoying when you have to do a video CV to some companies! Very intrusive ect... So Job sites should ensure EMPLOYERS are managing this! I would Give www.Indeed.com a 6 out of 10 & Recommend Indeed to friends/close family that need a role that's easy to apply or look up and filter to their needs.
Heather Young
I used it to look for work and found great opportunities. On scale of 1-10 would 8 or 9 recommend it to my friends. Most definitely!
Blake DiMaio
I get much more responses and better feedback using LinkedIn's job search engine. If people can put a face to the name before they even send an email, it helps put the hiring parties at ease.
Rafael D. Mikhrali
Easy to use, user friendly. I'd give maybe 6. There some responses, had even interviews back in 2015 but for some reason didn't work after. In terms of responses. In anyways I would definitely advice this page to newcomers to Canada for instance. It can be helpful for sure. Worth to try
Natasha S. Chowdory
Job searching - 9/10 really good!!
Lisa Cotter MBS
10/10 but I'm biased!
victoria givens
I find indeed.com to vague. You can do a search and the site will come back with offers, but not really what you are for.
Tavia Holmes
Tim Ferriss why not try Linkedin where the interconnectedness of all of us leads to opportunities.
Amanda Martin
I use it all the time for job searches and often recommend it because it gathers results from open websites and job search engines. It's much easier to filter your search criteria than most other job sites, including LinkedIn. I would rate it 9.
Atif Ul-Haq
Nice app 6/ 10
Leslie Brown, MBA, PHR, SHRM-CP
Yes, I found my currently role with indeed. I would give it a 7. My specific search gave a lot of random opportunities that didn't match.
Matthew White
#1 source of hire for 6 years in a row! 65% of all hires come from Indeed
Sarah McClellan-Brandt
I found two great employees there for a small company I used to work for. I recommend it all the time.
Mercedes Stevenson
I've used it and it is a great site. I'd give it a 8-9.
Jennifer Darrah, M.Ed.
I have used Indeed for six months and haven't found any viable leads.
James Byun
Anthony Nguyen
Jacob Donaldson
Remember folks you get what you pay for. Lol.
Ruth Banther
The go-to site for time and cost-conscious hiring managers.
Steve Stocking
8-9. I agree, I have had more responses from this site too. They also clean up the listings faster than other sites making them more current. I would still check for the job on the posting companies site too to try to determine if it is still open when your friend finds it.
Shawn McDonald
Worthless spam-meisters repackaging some other site's postings weeks later and presenting them as new.
Kathy Colquitt
I give it an 8-9. Used it and was really helpful especially for hiring.
Gary Bechard
I use it everyday in my job search and have for the past year in conjunction with other sites. Good leads , current information and good linkages to the job posting site . I would give it a solid 8 (but you can't dance to it )
Jason Guyan
I have found very few jobs on the site, at least for my role(s). However it is useful for some roles, where a recruiter doesn't exist. For the most part I use it to find companies I did not know about, these are often the smaller lesser known ones.
Fletcher Struye
Gregory Wang
Polina Perdue
Better then anything at all out there including : Glassdoor , ZipRecruiter , Craig's list and career builder . Oh and Dice!  And leads to government job opening that you wouldn't know unless went on particular city /county website or governmentjobs.com So far it the best we have available and it's sad there should be more up to date dynamic local candidate aggressive website . Indeed comes somewhat close. The only one!
Craig Schlabs
Tim, I agree with John Horn 2 out of 10. They do not have proper filters in place and send me information on other jobs that I'm overqualified for or jobs that I have no experience in such as computer programming. Networking seems to be the best source available now days or a company that has a specialist Recruiter and not one that does HR AND RECRUITMENT. They only get about 20% of their time to recruit and it could be a month before you hear from someone.
Nipun Choudhary
Hi Tim, I'm using Indeed since past 1 year and it is the best job portals I'm using. I'm giving it 10/10.
Joanna Kennedy
I find it subpar even for search as a candidate. The layout isn't very user-friendly and many of the roles are no longer available when you click through to the employer's page or seem to have never existed in the first place. I prefer Glassdoor and LinkedIn for search as well as highlighting specific companies of interest and searching their boards periodically. No matter what though, a connection at the company, a good recruiter or a friend of a friend is always the most effective way in.
Kavish Jash
8 - Can Provide you filtered leads & response at free of cost unlike to other paid portals with no results
Eric Brennan
It's one of the best ones out there for job searching. I'd give it an 8
Thomas Shearin
It is indeed garbage
Brian Simmons, MBA
I'd give it a 8/10. Great for searching. Not as nice as Glassdoor but gives more up to date posts. Both platform have issues with multiple posts for the same job.
Mark Yates
3/10 They clearly have a lot of roles that remain long after. Once you go passed a few pages with the same criteria a lot of the roles appear again.
Rachel Lark
8/10 Better than zip recruiter and monster.
Christopher T. Lawson ☞Digital Mktg Strategist ☞Social Media Mgt
I've gotten tons of applicants for each of my job postings. In my experience, it seems to be better for lower skilled positions. The dashboard is easy to use and keeping applicants and communications organized is very simple. Overall 8.
Nikki Kelso
Solid 10. Ease of applying to jobs,shows you exactly the jobs you are looking for in your specified area, alerts when new ones are available, automatically puts out your resume to employers, messaging system for potential employers to contact you is very sinple
Alton Zheng
My unbiased opinion: LinkedIn is better :)
Ian Amberson
6/10 The site is decent for aggregation of job information, but horrible to apply through.
Shawn McDonald
There's a definite chasm between the job posters and the job applicants in this thread.
Shawn McDonald
I've never seen a job posting on Indeed that I hadn't already seen on LinkedIn days or weeks (sometimes months) before.
Erik Berg
Every day, posting for jobs I am staffing and looking for qualified candidates.
Alicia Marie Fawcett
2/10, they send me irrelevant jobs to my email
Belinda Ross
It's arguably the best first stop for job searching - it captures everything !
Arthur Grygoryan
0/10 I'm a product designer in a specialized field and indeed can't tell the difference between product design and digital (ex toys vs UI/UX) on top of it often glitching out and not allowing me to respond to offers sent to me. It needs an overhaul.
Michael Gerard-Rousseau
Indeed I have.   It is a waste of time. Most resumes don't get read. Keyword search games shouldn't be a thing when looking for a job. It is impersonal--the entire thing. If you like jumping through hoops getting the same results, then online job shopping is the place for you. Stock up on the Jack Daniels though.
JAMES ZAGUROLI
Job board that lets you initially scope out possible job opportunities Downside : often does not filter to specific job title and repeats same job months down the line (even after position is no longer available).
Thaddeus Aid
I just put my resume up there last night and woke up to an inbox full of recruiter contacts.
Daniel Takara
8. Why? Because of market fragmentation. Employers don't seem to post there AND monster AND Craigslist, etc.
Lori Myers
Don't do it. Nonstop spam. Spare yourself; I'm already at their mercy.
Rayford (Rafe) Bruton
It is very hit or miss if you are searching for jobs. Sometimes it will bring up jobs that exactly meet your search or alert and sometimes it is completely off. 2 out of 10 for me
Emily Pitts
10 out of 10 so far!
Scott H.
I would give Indeed a 5 as well. Quite a few spam jobs listed multiple times and when I search for something (e.g. Program Manager) well over half of the results have nothing at all to do with the type of job I'm looking for.
Ric Johnson
7 for individual search, 6 for finding candidates Zip Requiter was interesting - would have been a great experience if they had not used dark patterns to try to keep charging me.
Mayur Nirkhe
I would rate it 9/10. I would highly recommend to my friend because If you want to find jobs, indeed gives you jobs straight away. Nothing more, nothing less
Margie Reynolds
I vote 4.... same with all the others, if you're not 'perfect' or a 'rock star', you drop into a never ending black hole never to get a response.
Robert Bortolin
3. Some decent postings but most of the stuff they send me is totally not related to my skill set or my searches.
Frederik Scherpereel
5 for finding candidates.
Sam Trekur
It's good if you are not on a time crunch and want to source resumes. I would never do the paid version, but that's just me.
Adam Petriella
1: my ads attracted all the wrong candidates. they could not help me target my needs. Spent over $10,000. Useless.
Justin Novello
I have, there are some features I use to check on Indeed then contact them on LinkedIn. My response rate is very high on LinkedIn as a result. While the UI stinks for the most part, they have a very easy search option. However, I use it much less since the "Open to New Opportunities" has been featured.
Steven C. Sorrough
I would agree with Steven M. Mumby indeed definitely has alot of "information" rather than viable jobs. Dice I haven't used for personal search yet have referred many friends too which have had great success.
Kristina Ojdanic
I found my current assistant on Indeed.
Dylan Kelly
10! It is the best place to look for a job hands down
Mohammed Ali
I will vote around 8 depending on the sector you use it for !
Natalia Real
Found a stellar intern via Indeed. It lets you screen people by asking them questions first, and I like to add some questions for them to answer when applying, which filters out 80% of applicants right there because most don't follow directions. The platform also allows you to reach out to applicants directly and mark who you've already reviewed, etc. - it organizes things nicely. I'd give Indeed a 9.
Christy Suerth, SPHR
Networking > Postings. . . Whether a job seeker or hiring manager.
Brian Jarvis
1- get more training web site traffic than job offers
Mary Cantrell
I think it had God's hand on it....but ...my previous job was driving me crazy...had all that I could take...came back from lunch..pulled indeed up...there it was....my new job!!....send in my resume...got the call to come in....was offered the job...so I'm going to give indeed a 10!!!!!!!
Adam Tranchida
Here's an objective look at online recruiting sources http://hr1.silkroad.com/sources-of-hire-2017
Belinda Ross
Hope my boat comes in too ... indeed
Javonte Austin
Indeed.com has definitely been good to me over the years I have definitely recommend it to my family and friends
Rosalind Mays Welch
Used, got a few interviews from them
David Philpott
@matt mclaurin
Helen Eilert
I found my current position through indeed, and now do hiring through the site. It has worked well for me!
 You spend the time calling them in for interview and very few show up. Bit hit and miss so a 5.
Jose DelaRosa
I give Indeed.com a 9 , in combination with LinkedIn and glassdoor. They are like the 3 kings of job searches. Each have their own strengths in different areas . Alone more like a 7. Indeed is good at just compiling new and different jobs, LinkedIn is obvious why, and glassdoor is excellent at company backgrounds and details its like Yelp for employees reviews.
Sheeraz Ullah
It's hit or miss. My best results have come from headhunters approaching me.
Jose Hernandez Arroyo
I think better than LinkedIn have gotten more interviews there
Ezra Pollak
As a jobs search engine I give it a 9/10. I would recommend it to a friend as the best way to find jobs that are "out there" without visiting dozens of company websites.
Jared Cornell
9, all the time
Edgar Sahakyan
9. I got my previous 2 jobs from there. Recruiters and employers both use. Seems more quantity then LinkedIn and is easier to operate when using it mobile
Sylvia Domerese (LION)
I give it an 8, from the job hunter perspective. I have found that the site finds jobs that match my interests, abilities and experience -- jobs I actually have a chance at getting. Other sites will send job leads that are nothing like the search. For instance, on a different search site I had a search out for education technology and got a lead for a pet trainer at a pet store...wait, what?? Haven't had dead leads like that with Indeed.
Carlos M.
8 I will recomend it if you are looking for some jobs in UK.
Heather Pollard
I give it an 8
Kaytee Thrun, SPHR
10 totally a go to site to hire
Alicia Bell
There always seems to be an overabundance of dubious job posts with very little detail and long-ago posting dates. Maybe there's a secret to successfully using it, but for me Indeed is too cumbersome to use.
Ken Walker
10 out of 10. Clean interface, great consolidation of many job sites in one place. This would be a full on happy face with NPS.
Robert F. Cavalear M.S
I have heard from Recruiters and other placement professionals that Indeed is one of the very best recruitment/placement site to be had.
Rick McCartney
3 - I don't see any differentiation from other sites, and Monster has more exposure in my experience. We still post there, but don't expect anything great from it. Angel.co for technical talent
Robert Norton
I use it. I would give it a 7 out of 10.
Scott Distasio
I think it depends on your industry. We have used it to find legal staff for my law firm. Our experience was that many many unqualified people applied. So many that it was a large task to sort through them to find qualified candidates. I would give it a 5.
TeCasha Andrews
i have, i may rate it a 7 only because you still have too fill out a full application, on some job posts
Oscar Guerra
I personally have submitted over one dozen applications over time and have NOT ever received a response.
Bassem Eskander
8/10. Easy and fast to use. I landed a couple jobs and helped a few friends get work on there too.
Patricia Gail Norman
I use indeed looking for work I find it is one of the better ones to use
Nick Teulon
Scott McNally some good insights on this thread for you.
Anna Sheinman
good if one is looking for the physical office job
Nako Mbelle
I'm a headhunter and I'd say 1 for highly skilled technical talent. ie. software developers For non-technical talent such as admin and accounting - 6 For non-technical talent such as high performance sales and marketing - 4 You're better off sourcing on LinkedIn. It's pricier but it's of a higher quality. Good luck.
Kevin McNichol
8; it's a decent aggregator, search tools could use some refinement though.
Alex Fergus
I found my current job on it. I find that it has the most job listings and has a helpful tool for tracking applications. It could have better company info and employee reviews (a la Glassdoor). 8/10
Vera Michaels
Indeed is the best job listing aggregater on the market. I would give them a 10. Instead of looking all over the internet setting up job alerts with several sites, just set up one on Indeed.com.
Quenton Marrow
It's pretty good, I used it a few times. I had good experience with it finding jobs. Over all 8 out of 10
Andre Buckles
Used to promote jobs for a prior employer based on geography. Very effective in driving traffic.
Liz Riggs
8 - Easy to use to find posted jobs. Provides a broad and up-to-date set of job results based on your search, which can be filtered by useful criteria like title, sector, key word, geographical area, salary, etc.
Brianna Zajicek
Yes---find interesting resumes, use key terms/past jobs to find person on LinkedIn and message them for recruiting purposes
Mazin Osman
Highly recommended it 10/10. Indeed is responsible for 3 of my best positions including my current one. The recruiter outreach and the job application process quite useful. And the job area where you can update the application status or archive or also very intuitive.
Kabir Banerjee
Few things- fed jobs via RSS feed to Indeed from the job marketplace I was working for to generate leads (was quite effective, 7/10). Have posted jobs as a hiring manager, nothing consistent and a lot of noise (4/10). Used it to search for jobs but rarely use it to apply, I use it more for initial discovery and then try using relatively less saturated platforms (i.e. LinkedIn, Angellist, company site) to actually apply.
Charlotte Warren
10 - Indeed is my best source for finding great candidates, accessing critical hiring data, and working with consultants who truly partner with you to set up your company for success. I'm pretty seasoned yet I'm always learning new things and I've been lucky to have such great tools and support at my fingertips. I'm a big fan of Indeed. #wehelppeoplegetjobs
Nichole LaBombard
8; it definitely has an endless listing of careers and jobs. I found my travel company and my permanent career there, I am really impressed
Tony Kochhar
I'd give it a 0 for good tech talent...Cannot comment on other roles
Andrew R. Chase M.A.
Curious to what your friend's goals are for using the service otherwise this is too generic a question.
Denise Cornett
7, its a slow process for employers to contact you but I did find my current job through Indeed within a month of being laid off.
Zander Keig, LCSW
I have included them in my previous job searches, but never landed a job through them. I like their non-profit slant.
Veretta Wallace
All the time
Aaron Glassenberg
It's a giant mess. Most of the positions are outdated and they have completed interviewing. If you submit anything through there, you will be 1 of 1000 and no hiring manager will see your resume. Most companies want submissions through their own talent management portal anyway.
Steven Raft
I'm looking for a CxO position and I get email alerts for Assistant to CxO openings or positions that report to CxO's more than CxO positions. Not unique to Indeed, but ziprecruiter and others as well.
Mark Graves
Found it to have the best blend of jobs for Canada.
Julie Wood
I find it better than most, all jobs in one area, no need to search 20 different sites anymore, and if you know how to use it properly it's a great tool. Jobs are up to date and relevant.
Daniel Zierk
Jessica Rongen?
Torie Pendleton MA,LPN,NJCALA,CDP
I found my last three positions using Indeed and have hired ma y employees using the site. I find the customer service engaging and the site easy to use for hires.
Jonathan Goldhill -
My clients use it and so did I to hire manager level positions. Great app allows you to sort, video record answers to questions...all at a great price.
Sam Woolley
Sponsoring the job putting say £20 budget per role will get you more applications than the free listing for small £investment. CV Dbase / alerts worth doing for ad-hoc CVs - you can then find them on Linkedin or pay the £1 to contact them through Indeed directly - I can help further with specific tactics / approaches etc but that's a good start ;) won't be all encompassing but don't rule it out for any role completely...
Simon Jackson
5 a bit boring as a site and cv import sometimes is wrong
Srinivasan Saivenkat
I have used but didn't find any use
FAHEEM BHAT
always posts old jobs .nt worthy
Evan Waters
Boolean expressions are your friend with indeed
Richard Williams
As a recruiter I use Indeed all the time, and have placed candidates through the site. However there is a major issue in that CVs are often corrupted significantly when they go through the Indeed formatting process. If you are going to use Indeed as a candidate then I would advise uploading a very simply formatted CV to reduce the risk of this happening.
Tanveer Kedia
I am using it but still no fruitful result..
Diana Waters
Ditto Vera. Largest, widest reach, best, easiest to use aggregator, from BOTH the employer/recruiter side, and the candidate side. They are currently the 10. Would be interesting to see Indeed do a validating benchmark study of what we n the field know to be true.
Thomas Healy CIPD SHRM ☁
I use Indeed.com somewhat, in Europe its good for applications but to search CV DB, I would recommend LinkedIn as you can search more effectively
Dr. Bonita Best
8 - applied to and secured many opportunities via Indeed. I also like the integrations with several employers in which I don't have to fall into the double data entry trap. 10 - found several qualified candidates as an employer and appreciate the screening features.

Feel free to contact me to learn more about Indeed.
Margaret Ward
Indeed is worth the money, especially for entry to mid-level jobs, but not for all categories. Indeed Account Managers assigned to our account are responsive and bring in others on the team to quickly help when we need it most. I give Indeed an 8, rather than a 10, for two reasons; 1. Zip wins a point since it has an awesome resume & report extract feature, so easy to use. 2. Old school look and feel of Indeed needs a refresh.
Craig O'Brien
I worked for them previously in Dublin,Ireland any questions feel free to DM and ask and Il give you some honest insights.
Curt Dalton
0 . Shady company as we worked with them on our job board postings, stay away .
Gina "Gigi" Rosella Terinoni
Something has shifted with Indeed. It's been much easier to track candidates and also matching better qualified candidates, saving me more time. 8/10
Carrie Graham
1. If you work for a smaller company the value is not there. $1 to contact anyone and if I contacted 10 people, 1 might reply and are likely not qualified. If you're looking for a receptionist or laborer position it might be helpful to post an ad and receive resumes, otherwise it's useless for someone looking for technical roles to fill. The ads get lost and then they try and sell you boosting of it because of this. Too many national ads in with local.
Shohini (Sho) Sengupta
We have used it successfully for contract and junior positions but usually request a separate CV from candidates as some of the form-filled information does not give enough detail. Language-proficiency for example, which is a important aspect when hiring in Ottawa, Canada. 7/10
Michael Chinedu Okafor
i have can give the system 7 % ideal for lower job market
Syed Abdul Hadi
since sometime i was thinking to take feedback on indeed.com i think it shows old job postings and you will not get any response from that i dont recommend anyone.
Kimberly Rice
Still using it, but not seeing any results. Not sold on Indeed.
Venu Kuruganti
0. I tried it once and found very old job postings and 75% of them didn't have the name of the company there. Most looked like fake ads just to get traffic to Indeed. Another site is Dice. Both are equally bad. Best is Ladders.com
Mayukh Sarkar
LinkedIn would always be best..but I guess Angellist is even bettering
Patricia Quarles, MPA
I have gotten a few interviews through indeed.
Mary Fitzgerald
We use it for job postings and resume mining . For our industry (commercial truck dealership) I have found them the most useful of all of the job sites.
Gail Combs Oglesby D.B.A.
Yes we use Indeed for job posting and it works great
Michael Theodoulou
It is worth posting to their free listings - this gets us candidates sometimes. Not had any meaningful results from their PPC or prime offering.
Eliana Medina Huiman
I tried it a couple of times to reclute and it worked very well.
Tom Oates
I've been contacted about 3x in the last 4 months by recruiters who indicated they saw my information on indeed, so it appears more companies are using it. I also know my company's recruiters use it as well to search for candidates.
Amy Perez
My current job of 2 months came from indeed. Easiest to use and connect.
Jeff Vegh
Michael Gurevich
Jeremiah Barnett
UI could be better, but least spammy, most "real" jobs, easiest to cut to the chase. I've been on both sides of the coin. They are cheap to advertise through and get quality candidates, plus I have gotten more replies here than through any other job site even though indeed doesn't promote it necessarily. ziprecruiter is also very good but the most spammy of any kind of online site I have ever seen. In reality, 4-hour workweek lifestyle is best.
Kelli Schanze
Actually all of my jobs out of college except for one (4 total) I had found via indeed. Once you learn how to use it, it's a really great tool!
Laurie Lee
I just literally posted a job on there yesterday, I've already received about 20 applicants.
Bruce Bressler
I would never use Indeed or Zip Recruiters! They are in the ads business, not the recruiting business.
Brad Casto
As a job searcher I'd give at a 9. I used it on a few occasions over the past several years and found it to be very reliable. My current company uses it to recruit and scout for talent and it is one of the GoTo sites.
Shara Andrade
I use it to search for opportunities. It is my go-to since it pulls from multiple job sites. I would give it an 8. I like ziprecruiter a little better as it sends notifications when a resume is viewed.
Abhijith Magal
I feel LinkedIn is a much better.
Scott Kaufman
Indeed is good for what it is but recognize the sham that the job boards for the most part are. Advise them to study http://www.asktheheadhunter.com/pursue-companies-not-jobs & http://www.asktheheadhunter.com/7152/the-bogus-ness-of-indeed-com
Mohsin Nisar
2.5 will be good enough for this site.
Sunita Jha
I have gotten a few interviews through indeed.I use it to search for few positions . Indeed for job posting and it works good ,So I recommend indeed to 8/10
Kate Waller
As an employer, I find it a very useful tool and have used it to recruit team members. It does simplify the process of sorting through applications and saves time versus other options. We use the free features of it, which are enough for a small business.
Tyler Deckman
Found my current job through indeed last year. Could not have been happier with the outcome, and the ease of use. The biggest advantage for me was the fact that I could create an "indeed resume" and get my name out as quickly as possible to the jobs I was interested in.
maria mandrick
Not Sure I Never Set Up Interview ! But I Receive Their Emails On Jobs Looks Good
Jay Veniard
If you want to be one applicant in a stack of 100, for the most part, unqualified candidates then Indeed is good. You better just hope your profile is one of the first 20 or it will never get viewed. For real impact, find someone on LinkedIn who looks like they may be the hiring manager and send them a message or even better pick up the phone and call them.
Mercedes Derricott
I use it to search for everything, I like the job forum portion. There's more actual jobs life's there than on here
Tiffany Watford
10 that site is real good...
Barbara Menard
I would give it a 9. I have always found it an excellent source for locating jobs. It also updates me daily with new jobs. I have been hired for many jobs using it including my current one.
Starr Hardgrove
As a person currently searching for a job, it's good to find everyone hiring all in one place. Wish more people would use the Apply Easily with Indeed option.
Harold Greathouse, CPA
Mechanically easy to use and keep track of your efforts. Content is always a question.
Jay Lieberman
Tim, used Indeed recently for 2 positions after ziprecruiter. In first 5 days got about 15 applicants for each position, about 5 that were seriously good. Uses ziprecruiter in the past and didn't come close to Indeed. I believe indeed gets more attention than most portals. Good luck.
Laurence Huff
Great for non-professional positions. Use LinkedIn for Professional hires.
Brett Childs
You should checkout www.glassdoor.com. Fastest growing job site in the country.
Sherry Courington
I applied and interviewed with Indeed in Las Vegas, NV. for a job not requiring a degree. Their recruiter works through LinkedIn. She emailed me after the interview to say they were choosing someone else.
Paul Mulira
It's only good to show you what opportunities are out there. After that it is up to you to work your networks to get interviewed.
Paul Mulira
If your looking for something on the more technical side then Dice.com is the way to go. It gets rid of a lot of the fluff.
Georgi Katrov, CPA, CFE, CAMS

Aaron Jeffers
I would say 6/10 for me. I get job offers, some are not exactly what I am looking for, but closely related to what I do. It depends on your resume and how you describe the work you do when you upload it.
David Maestre
Found a few jobs using Indeed.com
Devin Hutchings
Highly recommend. Not sure any thing comes close to volume of jobs, listings, hires, global, etc.
William Parker
I give Indeed an 8 and I will definitely recommend it to a friend. I get a lot of feedback/interviews from the jobs I apply for and absolutely love Indeed's "Easily Apply" and Messages feature. The site is straight-forward and doesn't have mess all over the place (ads, articles, etc.). You also get an email when an employer views your job application when you use the "Easily Apply" feature. Moreover, I also use it to look at resumes to know who/what I'm competing against.
Danilo López, AIA, CCM, LEED AP BDC
I have. I give it an 8.
Pam Carpenter
6/10 for me, I use it as a tool to look for jobs, then I use LinkedIn to connect with my network to see if someone works at the company. It worked awesome when I was living in San Jose, ca but here in Portland no so much for my industry.
Garret Larson
When I have done job seeking thru Indeed, I was pretty disappointed with the lack of options to refine your search. I prefer sites where you can filter by income range, industry type, years of experience needed, and other metrics. If you have a very specific job title in mind, I'm sure its not that bad,. But for people willing to look a variety of employment options in a certain industry, it was not user friendly enough. 6/10
Lori Thomas
It was one of my favorite sites for job hunting! 9
Scott Kaufman
http://linkup.com is a good jobs site -- company direct only (no relation to linkedin)
Brandon Poynter
Richard Morley this post is useless without your input
Brad Petrie
It was great for recruiters, until you had to spend $1 for every email you sent to a potential candidate. No mas.
Jose Yumet
Not really. Then again, I don't use job boards. Applying for jobs gets you nowhere nowadays. Have to be more pro-active than that.
Shawn Gasaway RN, BSN, NRP
have recently started using this along with a few other sites, large volume of jobs, resume converter does not work properly, no hits as of yet
David Caron
2/10 - One of the least favorite sites for me. If I used Indeed to run the same search parameters that gave me a dozen or so good opportunities on LinkedIn, I would get several hundred returns, most of which had nothing to do with the career opportunities I was seeking. Maybe I need to learn how to manipulate its search better, but since I get good results searching LinkedIn, and industry boards like MassBio.org, I don't feel it is worth the time.
Maria Perry
Iike it.Check it often
Jake Stuck
I found my current job through Indeed.com. Great for browsing current positions. However, I did not apply through Indeed.com. I did that separately.
Elizabeth Craigg-Walker
It is pretty good. 9
Ken Abbott
I'm now using Google Jobs.
Jean Bigoney, RAC, CQE
It's my go-to website. Very user-friendly for job seekers because of the advanced search options.  If I use indeed to search, I sometimes find that position on LinkedIn. I don't consider it a good way to be found, but it is a great way to find opportunities.
Kevin Sun
9/10 Suggest signed an offer for a job that I found on Indeed.com. Got a decent amount of call backs, and their matching algorithm seems pretty good. Showed a lot of relevant jobs to my degree
Tisha Livingston
I found my current and previous jobs and employers find me because I have my resume posted.
Karin Hiolle
I agree, 10!
Cory Groshek
Yes, I used it to find out that almost every single employer in the United States was in violation of the Federal Fair Credit Employment Act's (FCRA) employment-related provisions and that the background checks they were running on their job applicants were illegal/unauthorized, thereby subjecting the employers to the possibly of multi-million dollar class action lawsuits, three of which I filed myself against Time Warner Cable (now Charter Communications), Great Lakes Higher Education Corp, and Alliance Hospitality Management, resulting in this one-sided hit piece by #fakenews propagator Jacob Carpenter of the Milwaukee Urinal Sentinel: http://archive.jsonline.com/news/wisconsin/professional-plaintiff-uses-credit-law-to-threaten-companies-win-230000-in-settlements-b99748699z1-384400481.html/. So, I guess my point is, Indeed.com is a very useful website, especially for Consumer and Employee Rights Advocates like me.
Quanesha Johnson
I love indeed.com. I posted my resume on indeed, and I instantly received a message from a recruiter for a job opportunity from my current employer. I give indeed an 8, only because nothing's perfect and everything has room to grow.
Alexander Belkovsky
Abhi, solid feedback
Marcia Woods
8 - super easy to manage and communicate with applicants throughout the recruitment process. Also has some easy tools to narrow your field of candidates.
Jason Barber
As a recruiter who has used Indeed, I give it a 5 for candidate quality. Their mini applicant tracking feature is a 3. Their search engine reach is a 9.5 and they are the market leaders here for a reason. My software company is vetting ways to help recruiters find work arounds with candidate sourcing and tracking. Will still use them for SEO. Which is Indeed's core competency.
Krista Buschko
I am not biased, well, maybe a little, but Erik Hart has the right idea! ZipRecruiter is the key to better & faster hires!

As a recruiter, I use Indeed everyday. It is my go-to candidate DB. Since most of my searches are very specific, I think the $1.00 email fee is very reasonable. We don't post jobs, so I'm not sure how productive that part of the system rates. We also use Indeed Crowd and have made a few placements there. For our firm, Indeed is a 11/10.

I find employment sites like Indeed.com have their place, however for me I find it's am arduous process for looking for work: You're applying for the same job posts that hundreds or more people are and find yourself 1 resume in a stack of hundreds waiting for a call back. I empathize with employers as I have had to dredge through 100+ applications before and it's an exhausting process for both parties: employer & applicant. In the digital age when face to face resume drops are a thing of the past, the best way to "keep it personal" is to network and use your resources to actively hunt for specific company you want to work for. There are Pros and Cons to the impersonal digital age, but that just means we need to employ new methods to use the tools we do have, i.e. networking.

Tim. We use indeed for most of our hires. The service is great. My caution for you is to beware of the subjective process they use to decide when to charge you for announcing a position. Some positions are free others may garner a daily fee. I would definitely recommend Indeed to others.
Jessica Rongen
I give it a 7.5 - easy to screen, manage applicants, and communicate via indeed or email. About 20% of applicants are incomplete applications.
Deborah P. Amico
I have been filling out a lot of applications on the indeed website. They seem to be legit but I haven't gotten any responses yet.
Christa Avampato
I got a job at an edtech startup through Indeed.com. I use it and would recommend it.
Matthew Vega
9/10 super easy to navigate with a simple UI. My past 3 jobs were found through Indeed!
Heather Vogel, MHRD SPHR SHRM-SCP
Having been in two job searches in the past 6 years, I FOUND my past and current positions through Indeed. We need to remember it's a marketing tool- for candidates to post a great targeted resume and for recruiters to post a great targeted job ad. If you candidates are not getting calls, change your resume. If your ad is not getting quality applicants change your ad!
Angie Cortez
Their search engine for job seekers is great ,they provide excellent job descriptions,and they also provide company reviews. This is how I found my current employer.
Kurt McNeely, PHR SHRM-CP
We sponsor hard to fill job postings with them sometimes with good results.
Cindy R. Mount
I've used it a handful of times to fill administrative seats and it's been a very successful .
Jeffrey Chesky
they have staffed all of our hiring. 22 FTE agent positions filled since 1/1.
Michael Pointer CSM
Most of my contacts for opportunities have come from Indeed.
Walter Buratto
Compared to other job searches indeed.com is very basic and visually not great. However do like the fact you can get reviews/feedback for not just companies but the actual positions within the business as well. Also love the fact you can search in any country easily as well. 8/10
Catharine McDaniel
I used in my job hunt. It was touch and go. It seems some of the jobs I applied to fell to the wayside but I did get the job I have now by using indeed.
sandra S.
Yes, I use it frequently but not just for job searching.
Christine Bell
Indeed.com will help for sure. A little goes a long way.

It's a great job hunting resource, although I find that the sponsored job ads suggested to me are very repetitive and not always as relevant as you would hope.
Jennifer G. (Brooks) Beech
Yeah, it's touch and go for me. I have been using it in my job search now. Applied for some things, got a response for some, but no offers. I've been looking for a job for about a year. Maybe it depends on the industry. My husband's in IT and he likes it. I feel like my apps just go into a black hole.
Jerry Voltero
It aggregates many, if not all job boards. I give it a 9
Dominic Bullano
Good experience with it. I got some interviews out of it and a job. Larger companies usually advertise their positions on their own website. It is very good research tool to view the different types of responsibilities and job titles that are available. 8
Sneha Krishnan
0 - fitment of applicabts with respect to the Job Description way (way) off
Cathryn Hawes
When searching for a new career I used Indeed.com about 60%, lots of great roles posted. I specifically ike how it only emails only jobs with a specifically defined compensation range, in sales as you know the ranges are very wide in roles with the same title.
Roni Kean
From a job seeker perspective: the pros are it can be easy to use- you can store a resume and in some cases, it's a one click application process. The cons are many positions you still have to go through a full application process and enter all of the information that should be parsed from your resume- a second time. Since posting my resume there, I get a lot of spam, drive for Uber emails, and "I am a prince from Nambia and I need to move some money, I will pay you 2.3 million dollars for your time if you can help." Many people do not check their "inbox" on indeed- I know our organization used to reach out to applicants through indeed, with no response. I think it is a good system at the end of the day. There are no major issues from my experience and I have been using it off and on for more than 3 years. (It's been around a while!)

Some months its a 10 others its a 5. Its all about timing and $$$$ spent. We have used it on and off for 3 years to find people.
Pernilla (Penny) Gremyr
Personally got a 1 in 10 interview ratio on Indeed, and found a great job. A 10.
William Parker
I wonder if Indeed.com want some customer reviews, because they certainly have them.
Don Demrow
Both my wife and I have gotten job offers from employers that post on Indeed.com. I'd rate them a 9, and I'd give them a 10 if they had a "Show telecommute jobs only" on their search form like Dice.com does.
Gale Gross
I have used Indeed extensively for 2 clients in the IT field. It was excellent in terms of both jobs & recruiters. I recommend it highly.
LindaMarie Consolmagno
I use it to cross reference with LinkedIn Recruiter to connect, etc....I have placed one person using Indeed when I worked as an IT recruiter and I do get responses here and there when I can email through Indeed.com - it isn't my 1st go too but it does help in changing things up and making the most of all the tools available (:

I agree, Scott. While they are the largest now, it doesn't mean they are a fit for all. I suggest trying them along with ZipRecruiter and Craig's List. Yes, I said Craig's list. Indeed is running a trial promotion now for 30 days, and Ziprecruiter typically does as well. Whether you see a promo or not in their advertising, ASK FOR ONE anyways!
Steve Johnson
We use it as well. It is the ' new, newspaper help wanted'
Casey Pisani
I use Indeed often, and find candidates specific to the fields I need a bit easier, manufacturing, electricians, laborers etc

I didn't get a lot of traction with LinkedIn. After a couple months I posted my resume on Indeed and Monster. I'm not sure which one resulted in my consulting gig but once I posted on one of those two sites, my phone started ringing non-stop.
Lorraine Emch
I use it all the time for resume searches. Definitely would recommend it.
Daniel Jay
Both are great. I look at what is more convenient based on what you are looking for. Have you tried ziprecruiter.com? If anyone is interested in a free trial, please contact me and we can post all your jobs. I always compare the two to Uber and Lyft. Let me know if you want to learn more! Big fan!
Colin Booth
I use it all the time. I got my last 2 jobs through it. I give it a 9.
Jean-Marc Goldsmith
Tim, INDEED is the best 10/10 - i was looking for a new job and i got more traffic and interest sent my way than any other website out there. I would highly recommend them to anybody looking for a job.
Alexa Watkins
Not sure if you're asking from a jobseeker or employer aspect, but I recommend it either way. I personally prefer LinkedIN (or if you're in Entertainment, use EntertainmentCareers.net) but if you limit your search to just one, you may miss out on a lot of great candidates or postings.
Elizabeth Sable
I recently used them for hiring and felt the $200ish so I paid was not worth the quality of candidates I got. Not sure if you meant for hiring or finding employment.
Nicholas Noe, MBA
I've heard good things. I had no success on it looking for jobs though. Many predatory companies that are trying to get young college grads to work for them, receiving pennies (like any job site).
Paul Hanson
9: Clean and simple to use.
Adil Ansari
I always use indeed to search for few positions and profile. it works good ,So I recommend indeed to 9/10
Cory Schulz
I use it for hiring and it absolutely works. I would give it a 9.
Kelly Myles
9-very easy to use, modify, remove and surprisingly good quality candidates.
Catie Banks
It is one of the simplest ways to search for jobs as it pulls from many different sites. I highly recommend it!
Lisa C.
Yes a 10 compared to other job search engines. It is better descriptive on offers and easy apply.
Jake Berlin
I've found it to be more helpful than other job search sites. You still end up with jobs that seem only very vaguely related to your career interests though, and filling out an applications online probably isn't the most effective way to find a job.
Jason Remillard
We use it. Like anything you get a mixture. I find it of the best value so far, even for more senior level roles we try and fill
Cinnamon Alvarez
Absolutely! Currently indeed.com is my #1 go to for hiring. Quick, easy to use, and ample qualified applicants. 9
Jamie Rajotte-Tremblay
Yes and have had positive results from it. The responses vary although I have found those who have responded and I reach out to, are very responsive, unlike other job posting boards.
Gregg Sappington
Yes, I have. 8-9
Bow Archer
Unbiased he says.... :)
Liz Nguyen
7. I would totally recommend it to friends
Kellie Canning
Hi Tim, Yes, Indeed is my Go To for an aggregated job search. I'd give a 8 grade; 10 would be appointed if salary was consistently and accurately available and "phishing" employment agency candidate gathering was filtered out.
Leslie Smith
I've used it and haven't gotten the best results.
Martin Joseph Dudziak
0 as in Zero. All we ever got were people making outrageous claims about themselves, nobody passing even the first-cut of due-diligence or validation.
Anshul Bagai
7/10... they are good...
Sabby Zaatara
10 ! It is a job aggregator not a job board, meaning it holds Majority of the jobs that are on any career sites around the world, and it's easy to use. That's how I found my job !!
