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

Do not use Indeed or agencies

I finally got a job after contacting the employer directly and not going through Indeed. I have been using Indeed for over a year and after numerous applications with no response from any of them at all, I decided on the direct route and got an interview then started new job all within a few days. So my advice to jobseekers is do NOT apply though Indeed or recruitment agencies as they are all useless - always contact the employer and company directly yourself. Update; you obviously haven’t ...

Yet again Indeed constantly send me the incorrect jobs and the incorrect Area . For example I state I am looking for a Part time Maintenance Handyman position in Surrey and they send me a job for a health practitioner in Wales !. As I said before I have lost count of the times I have re edited my job profile and area . On their instructions And I have lost count of the times one of many of their customer service agents are going to sort itout The response from them is absolute rubbish Richard

Absolute rip off

Absolute rip off! No responses to job ad and spent almost €100 - spent €22 on social media advertising and got more than enough responses!

Posted for a job with Indeed

Posted for a job with Indeed. Offered four interviews first time. None of them turned up with no explanation, which apparently is not their responsibility after the CV has been posted. Was helped 2nd time which I thought was quite good, but a lack of communication on how much it cost me four times the amount with no appointment still. No acknowledgement of the fact I said I wouldn't have gone through with this if I had understood the costing correctly. Emailed and rang to discuss. ...

Worst business decision ever

Worst business decision ever. I opened my account to post a job and with 5 minutes someone from Indeed called to verify my information and told me I already had an attempted login from Indonesia. Either hacker have a real-time back door into Indeed accounts or someone at Indeed is the hacker. Indeed subsequently locked my account 'to investigate' for the 6 days and counting. I have no way to contact any of my 2 dozen applicants and my start-up is at a complete standstill. Please use ANY ...

suspect review rejections

Very wierd but all my reviews of bad employment agencies doesnt appear on indeed but my reviews of companies i have worked for does i have checked over and over and all reviews are equal so it does seem the employment agencies are getting protection from indeed so no bad reviews go onto there account. It does seem indeed are going downhill fast as they were a very good job site a few years ago but not anymore. i read through indeeds review policy and nothing in my reviews violates them so ...

Money grabbers

Unfortunately I had no choice but to leave this review. We have been using indeed for some years, however we noticed the lack of candidates. We were advised strongly the only way to get more, is to pay more per day. We increased it to £20 per day, that was 12 days ago and we have received the least amount of candidates. 3 people have applied in total. 2 unsuitable, the other person applied on a Sunday evening, we responded the day after, for her to say she had another job! We have stopped ...
