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

Be Careful of Sponsoring Jobs

Be careful, my overall experience with indeed started out well, although I was suspicious why some jobs got flagged for sponsorship over others, however I excepted it was in business to make money so decided to sponsor a couple of jobs to see how it went. I sponsored 1 job at £5 for 7 days, so £35 in total. Imagine my surprise when I had been charged £82 and already racked up another £18 in June. On further investigation it appears that because I re-opened the sponsored job it automatically ...

A complete joke

A complete joke! Don't bother. You submit an inquiry through their website then you get automated emails no matter what your response is. You send screenshots of proof and they never receive them - how convenient. You send another inquiry with the screenshots and once again, not received. I don't even think they have anyone in customer service. I think it is completed automated and obviously not helpful at all.

AVOID USING THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!

I have been charged for advertising a job I cancelled. It is proving impossible to try to communicate with Indeed to try to resolve this. This company has deliberately made themselves impossible to contact which should sound warning bells for any employer thinking of using them. Any phone numbers prove to be dead ends. Where there used to be a "contact us" option on the Need Help? part of the employers page this has now been disabled. I don't know what is going on with this company but ...

don't use them

don't use them - they are overcharging 10X times as compared to other job search platforms!

Don't use Indeed

I posted 2 positions with a threshold for charges. I canceled all postings after receiving a charge of $808 on my American Express after 2 days online. I just received another charge and it's been a week since I canceled all postings. What makes it all worse is I didn't find any qualified candidates. Don't use Indeed.

I feel that I was lied to by the indeed representative about the presentation he gave the explanation of how it worked on the sponsored jobs. He told me ours was set up at .25 cents per view and turned out that we had $4.00-$6.00 per view, which he said was due to them looking at us as a metropolitan city and not a rural area. They charged us $1000 (refunding $500.00 after complaining) during the month when you are not to be charged until the end of the month. That being said there is no ...

Never trust Indeed for employment…

Never trust Indeed for employment needs. They charge you for every applicant regardless if they answer your message or not. No-shows are charged. No answers are charged. Their recruiter sends you applicants that I feel do not exist as they do not answer their messages or confirm any appointments. When they do, they never show up. Their sales rep convinces you to search for 150 candidates to "stand out" amongst other businesses, only to up their sponsor price so they can charge you more, but ...

Unauthorized charges of over $500 to my account. Waited on hold for 25 minutes and never got a human representative on the phone. I would never recommend Indeed. They are operating to take money not help people or employers.
