User Testimonials
Indeed ResumeLinkedIn Recruiter
Likelihood to Recommend
Indeed Resume has been well suited in areas where there is not a lot of traction or candidates to apply. It has been less appropriate in heavier areas where there are many more candidates available to apply on their own without the invite or having to search for their resume.

I can manage candidates from the search to moving them to projects to messaging in one place, which makes it a more streamlined and efficient process. If a candidate does not respond to an outreach message from my LinkedIn Recruiter mailbox, I can then send a connection request and a message directing them, to the recruiter message.

Pros
  • It uses boolean search functionality, which allows me to target specific candidates
  • I like that it shows me how long it's been since someone has been active on Indeed
  • The messaging functionality to reach out to candidates and have them respond back to you is very user-friendly

  • The scheduler is my most favorite part of Recruiter. Super easy and organized to use.
  • It also can integrate with my applicant tracking system when and if I hire from LinkedIn Recruiter.
  • The fact that you can see an applicants full profile gives more information than just a resume when selecting candidates to interview.

Cons
  • I find it does not always recommend the best resumes to invite to the job we are recruiting for, based off the experience needed or job titles in the candidates resume
  • I don't like how invites don't roll over into a new month if you don't use all of them in a said period of time.

  • For some reason, whenever I click "View in Recruiter" it takes me to the project summary screen instead of that candidate's profile in Recruiter
  • It would be nice if candidates got automatically moved to the appropriate stage when an action is taken (ie "Contacted" after sending them a message)

For at least the time being, this appears to be where the talent is. They do an awesome job of getting the right jobs to candidates. As a user of the product for myself in the past the jobs that it sends me are 100x better than other tools

Usability
Overall it is the best product for quick searching and sourcing, but it is costly and prices continue to increase each budget year. We will continue to use it as it gives us the best conversion rate for finding candidates and hiring them over any other job page out there right now.

This portals helps to source the profile directly from the LinkedIn where I don't need to check the resume and LinkedIn separately every time. LinkedIn Recruiter is the best platform for posting the job effortlessly. It requires only few details and we can get response quicker.

This tool allows you to do so much for such an affordable rate. If you want to scoop up your competition's talent, you can filter searches for resumes for people who have or currently work at their business. You can also you Bollinger searches for individuals who have experience with a specific type or word. And my favorite, you can set up search criteria that alert you of any new resumes with specific criteria so you are first to reach out. Highly Recommend.

Alternatives Considered
Indeed Resume is by far the most popular product we use to recruit new talent. This is where everyone is and is the most widely known. I can have some luck with the other platforms, but nothing like Indeed Resume. As a Recruiter for a large organization, we needed a versatile platform, and from experience, nothing does that quite like Indeed Resume.

LinkedIn Recruiter provides a large pool of candidates across all these job boards and a vast number of filters that you can use to find specific talent. Features like Inmails do wonders in connecting with candidates. With the help of LinkedIn Recruiter, we are able to identify fake candidates or profiles.

Scalability
While we don't need it to scale, I see how easy it would be to separate by departments and projects

Return on Investment
  • Some managers reported decreased time spent searching for applicants.
  • This is another site to check for applications.
  • If you want to make it work for you, it can: decrease time to hire, increase candidate responsiveness, but you are missing out on a large section of applicants, thus decreasing your applicant quantity and quality.

  • It's a must have for reaching passive candidates.
  • Love being able to identify candidates we may need in the future and saving them in a project.
  • It's difficult to cut through the noise using Inmails since everyone is using the tool.
