Ryan Watson Talent Acquisition Manager in Human Resources at 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty (Real Estate, 501-1000 employees) Chose Indeed.com Indeed provides the highest amount of applicants, but from a usability perspective, it is among the worst.

Art Stiefel Digital Strategist in Professional Services at Trajectory (Marketing & Advertising, 11-50 employees) Chose Indeed.com Other than Indeed, we have used ZipRecruiter and LinkedIn as our other options depending on the pressure we're feeling to fill a given role.
