Considered Both Products	Indeed Verified User Chose Indeed.com ZipRecruiter is current. Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com were used in the past. As far as amount of applicant flow, Indeed.com is head and shoulders above the others. We get a lot of applicants that are not qualified at all, but that happens with any job board. Incentivized Helpful? Jesse Gessel Buyer & Category Manager in Sales at Backwoods 2.0, LLC (Retail, 51-200 employees) Chose Indeed.com Indeed is far and above the best in its space! I have used others like ZipRecruiter and Monster, etc. but Indeed tends to be where we get the most applicants, we use that pool to do our interviews and then ultimately hire from our applicants from Indeed. The functionality is … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Indeed.com Indeed.com is better than most of the job sites that we have utilized, mainly due to candidate flow. However, LinkedIn Jobs continues to take first place due to its search capabilities. Indeed.com, it is more intuitive than Monster and CareerBuilder. Incentivized Helpful? 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. Other options we have used have been Monster and Careerbuilder but weren't that happy with the results that we got on with those … Incentivized Helpful? Hari haran US IT recruiter in Human Resources at Exaways Corporation (Human Resources, 11-50 employees) Chose Indeed.com We use Indeed for the maximum amount of time for job postings since it does its job best. The sourcing of resumes using various filter processes is unique. We can communicate with candidate interns without revealing our originality. Incentivized Helpful?

This portals is specifically for the niche roles Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Indeed.com When compared to the dice portals, Indeed.com is more cost and work effective. Most of the candidate details were not available in the dice where as Indeed.com has the more detail about the candidates and give more insight. Incentivized Helpful? Michelle Melendez HR Manager in Human Resources at The Sourcing Group (Printing, 51-200 employees) Chose Indeed.com ZipRecruiter costs more money but you do seem to get a better quality of resume. Although even with ZipRecruiter we didn't necessarily always fill the position with the resumes we received. Given the choice I would prefer free rather then paying if I am not going to get a … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Indeed.com Each one has its positives and negatives. If you are a job seeker the site to use would be Indeed.com because they list a lot of jobs. If you are an employer just use the job posting features instead of the resume search. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Indeed.com [Indeed.com] brings in far more candidates that are also more qualified for the positions we have available. Indeed is also the most affordable and user friendly. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Indeed.com Indeed.com seems to be more simplistic than some of the other mature job listing sites and we like this ease of use factor. When it's time to list a job we do not want HR dreading a complex setup that other sites seems to have. It should be almost as easy as sending an email … Incentivized Helpful? John Hinson Administrative Director & Marketing Manager in Marketing at Spotlight Branding (Marketing & Advertising, 11-50 employees) Chose Indeed.com [Indeed.com's] reputation as the #1 job site makes it easy to hire new talent. You'll have access to the biggest job pool, and you can customize your job posting to hire the way you want, even if you don't use all of Indeed's features (many of which need improvement). Incentivized Helpful? Colleen CHENWORTH HR Manager in Human Resources at AMM (Hospital & Health Care, 201-500 employees) Chose Indeed.com Indeed.com was cheaper. Incentivized Helpful? Darian Rawson Senior Designer Developer in Marketing at AdventHealth (Design, 10,001+ employees) Chose Indeed.com I believe [Indeed.com] is far beyond the competitors as they are evolved versions of pre-existing hiring models. Indeed seems to focus on what newer cultural process are applicable to hiring rather than replicating the process from what has always been done in the past. I … Incentivized Helpful? Shanna Kostopulos Paralegal/Supervisor in Legal at Summit Conversions (Legal Services, 11-50 employees) Chose Indeed.com Indeed is easier to use in all aspects. Incentivized Helpful?

Incentivized Helpful? 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. Indeed actively and intentionally hides personal email addresses, and it encourages candidates to use poorly formatted resumes. Indeed could be a much better tool if they … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Indeed.com The other options have less of an applicant pool, in my opinion. However, the cost is typically less than Indeed. Incentivized Helpful?	Monster Verified User Chose Monster Monster.com Vs. Dice.com Vs. Indeed.com Vs. Naukri.com Vs.

Nina Trabskiy HR Generalist in Human Resources at ZOLLER INC. (Machinery, 51-200 employees) Chose Monster We evaluated two more job boards. One of them was free of charge and it is much harder to manage meaning the layout of software is not easy. The other service that we used, we barely got applicants at all. What was not helpful for us, is that in Monster.com we didn't find a way … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Monster The powerful feature that Monster has is its Boolean search, which is incredible.
