Indeed Reviews in November 2026: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

Said placing a job advert was free

Said placing a job advert was free. This proved not to be true.

Placed an expensive ad for a vacancy

Placed an expensive ad for a vacancy - no responses, zero follow-up from Indeed and then I find they are taking money each month for the same ad from my credit card. Also billed from Ireland with no VAT charged! Sharp practice and a complete scam

I'm almost %100 sure that Indeed is almost entirely fake job postings. Had anyone had success worth indeed?

Blew through my budget in 24 hours

Indeed sent me coupon/brochure, so I used it to advertise, I have a very small business. Both the brochure the company sent me and the verbiage on their site assures the buyer that your company will not be charged for unqualified candidates. The ad was placed around June 16th, 2021 my budget ceiling was $800. I directly stated in my job ad that I needed a candidate who was local/located in NH, that they need to have a specific license and a specific certification, and I made those 'deal ...

Waste of space job centre recommended…

Waste of space job centre recommended indeed regretted it a month later, when registering with them gave them a specific distance and that I was looking for part time work. What a joke sent me emails proudly stating that they had found positions in my area of Hertfordshire thirty mile north of London unless my geography is wrong Brighton and Hove is on the south coast it's over two hours drive one way I have heard of coastal erosion but that's ridiculous another email catering department ...

I have a village pub/Inn and advertised for all members of staff including General Manager, after spending £500 and not filling any position I got in contact, talked with someone called Jamie, who also works for Glass door. He seemed very helpful, and a nice friendly chap - He offered me a full refund of my money and a promise to get me sorted by tweaking how the advert was set up...One month later Indeed have helped themselves to nearly £2,000 and i now have had to closed my unstaffed ...

Save yourself the headache and go elsewhere.

I was trying to find qualified applicants for 2 different job postings. I had specific requirements and asked that applicants do a phone questioner that I could listen to. I was served several applicants that were not qualified. I reached out to 3 different people, only 1 responded. After a few days I noticed I was being charged $200, for what? I closed both jobs immediately. Applicants kept coming in and then I was up to $595. How do they justify the dollar amount? Can't find that info on ...

Try using them for multiple times just…

Try using them for multiple times just waste of money and I never got one employee from them , very easy on pushing up for charging you but no any results in the end Awful customer service definitely not recommended they need to be shut down.

Over 1000 jobs applied and zero response

Not a single response to over 1000 job applications in two years and a lack of structure to the website making it difficult to add a letter of application. Quite often I would see the same job reposed a few weeks later. Use Reed or LinkedIn far better.

Applied for ton and tons of jobs on…

Applied for ton and tons of jobs on indeed. Never get any responses from employers and when do it's a scam low paying job. I used to find high paying good quality Jobs on Indeed, now after the coronavirus the only jobs are for security clearance Jobs and you don't find out till they lure you to click and open each individual job postings to which I keep clicking the reporting button yet now they send me emails with "job match just for you" and when click open it's more jobs that require ...
