Broadbean vs. Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs)

Broadbean is well suited in the event that a candidate search has come to a standstill, and it's become virtually impossible to find the right person for the job. Broadbean serves as a method and tool to find that "passive" candidate who could lead to a placement. Because it's easy to use and versatile, the posting is not time-consuming or tedious.

In our market Dental Hygienists are extremely hard to find. We started using Indeed Sponsored Jobs for our hygienist positions and immediately received great response from quality candidates. Before we started using Indeed Sponsored Jobs for our hygiene positions we were in a drought. After using this program, we are hiring on average 2 hygienists per week.

• Immediate response, that's what I need. I post the job, there is no waiting one day or two hours to respond to the candidates.
• Gives me better visibility, better ability to choose different candidates, I've tried sponsored jobs with deal-breakers and non-deal-breakers. Sometimes is best not to have a deal-breaker for certain jobs because I might pass on a candidate I wouldn't have thought to maybe take a look at.
• I've also used the instant match, I'm starting to get better at qualifying those candidates and I had a few applicants from that.

Incentivized

• Some of the job boards that serve on Broadbean are not the best, and can sometimes reach the wrong type of candidate (background & experience level).
• The technology needs to be updated with the new ATS changes. There hasn't been an update to the system in quite some time.
• They could work on parsing their data better with social media outlets, like posting on Linkedin, Twitter, etc.

• It would be helpful if in the messages tab you could sort messages into folders and mark messages as unread once you have read them.
• Reposting an old closed job is difficult because it is no longer in the templates. If I go to my closed jobs it would be nice if it had an option to "reopen as a new job".

This is the #1 site where candidates go for a job in our industry. We continue to get the best results from this platform.

They continue to improve their platform. Although sometimes adding more functions can decrease usability, Indeed is very good at adding definitions and information in a very user-friendly way. You are truly able to customize your service and job ads in a way that benefits you and your company. You also have complete control over your ad and your budget

Our Indeed support team far exceeds the support I've received from any other recruitment platform. We have a dedicated account executive AND a client support specialist, both of whom go out of their way to assist with everything from making our job ads more effective to make the billing process more transparent. They are a rock star team that truly takes the stress out of recruiting!

Again, I came onboard after our company had conducted the implementation but from working closely with those that went through process I have heard it went very smoothly

Broadbean is the only tool we as a business have come across that brings most job boards together in terms of posting adverts and managing the influx of applicants. This works better and provides a greater ROI than using Indeed for example because this system forces you to manage your applicants within their built-in CRM as opposed to integrating with your own. This means more time is spent form filling and saving CV's etc than needed if you want to get a candidate into your company database.

I've used Monster as it was linked to a product called Job Target, and I felt it was ok. It seemed larger and I didn't have the capability to input specific parameters for our jobs. It was more generalized and just didn't work as well for us.

Incentivized

• It is great to post adverts to multiple job boards and get that information out to a wide audience

Incentivized

• We have only indeed connected to our ATS for less than six months, so tracking true ROI on time to hire is hard to dive into.
• The cost per hire has increased over the last couple of years due to how competitive it is for hourly employees across the industry.
• The quality of applicants is about the same. We find that Indeed can provide quantity for hourly positions not necessarily quality and we continue to struggle with candidates not showing up for interviews.
