    We currently use ZipRecruiter, LinkedIn Jobs, and the free job ad services on Indeed. We do this do to the expense of Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs) and the low return on investment. We have seen significant improvements by learning how the algorithm places job ads without cost …

    On Indeed, we receive far more qualified candidates for the positions we post. I also think that Indeed is more user-friendly than most of its competitors. ZipRecruiters' layout is cluttered and harder to connect with other employers. Indeed allows for us to access twice as …

    Handshake is mainly for the college-age group. We have listed some of our jobs on here before, but never had a good turnout of applicants. We tried ZipRecruiter, but it was easier to manage all of our jobs if they were listed on one site. We would also sometimes have people …

    Indeed just has a better user experience platform. ZipRecruiter does feel clunky, however, our sponsored jobs have already resulted in several more applications and a couple of hires.

    Chose Indeed Ads (Sponsored Jobs)
    Indeed Sponsored Jobs has a better reach for the hourly positions that we are trying to fill, while the other platforms speak to a different clientele. There are some that I will not use again just because their platforms are too cumbersome to use, and they have not provided …

    I enjoy Indeed more because of the larger candidate pool, the reps, and the resume tool.

    As I mentioned earlier, everyone knows what Indeed is so that's a huge plus. I don't tend to get the number of candidates coming in with either of the others I've used in the past. Almost a waste of money if I'm being honest, I'd rather post 3 or 4 similar positions on Indeed …

    Indeed performs significantly better than the other two boards from my experience in comparison to what you spend to get your jobs out there.

    Indeed Sponsored Jobs gets the lion's share of our recruiting dollars simply because it is more effective than our competitors. It reaches more people faster, for less money.

    Indeed Ads doesn’t recycle applicants like some other platforms I have used. With other platforms, I have to go back and check to see if we have interviewed the person previously. Indeed Ads usually gives me new applicants daily. It’s exactly what I need with a high turnover …

    It is better than the more expensive tools like Dice and Ladders. Indeed does offer the option to post nationwide as with ZipRecruiter you have to have a city state to post in and only mark the job remote.

    Indeed is our number 1 platform that helps us fill the most jobs. We have a high success rate with them. It is one of the biggest money makers for our recruiters in our company. If we had to end a contract with any of our platforms Indeed would be the last on the list to go.
