What is Indeed Hiring Platform?

A hiring platform that delivers the interviews needed to reach and understanding of job seekers with recruiting automation technology in one solution.

Categories & Use Cases

I wish the price was non-profit friendly

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Indeed for all of our hiring and it works just great. I wish there was a discount for non profits posting jobs because 250 for a one week job post is very expensive.

Pros

  • spreading the word
  • i really like the urgently hiring label

Cons

  • price for non profits to be discounted
  • bring back the assessments but without the two levels, bring back the scale

Return on Investment

  • cost effective, its pretty pricey

Usability

Indeed for the win

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use the Indeed Hiring Platform to fill my rotating door positions that I constantly need qualified licensed applicants for. This is the case for many recruiters who have somewhat of a revolving door on particular positions. I also attempt to use this platform for my harder to fill positions.

Pros

  • constant flow of applicants
  • ease of application
  • all in one platform

Cons

  • capturing qualified applicants
  • eliminating applicants who are not qualified
  • better options to sort applicants

Return on Investment

  • DTF
  • Time spent on recruiting tasks
  • screens candidates allowing me to spend time on offers

Indeed Paid Platform

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Indeed Hiring as our main recruiting tool. We post our jobs and have the paid sponsorship which allows us to look at resumes / invite those to apply.

The main problem we see, is that applicants often use the "quick apply" button without really looking at the job posting to see if it is a role they are actually interested in.

Pros

  • Lots of candidates use Indeed
  • Notifications
  • Automations

Cons

  • Remove "quick apply"
  • Screening question options without paying more.

Return on Investment

  • Faster time to hire based on application turn out

Usability

Alternatives Considered

ZipRecruiter, LinkedIn Jobs and Handshake Talent Engagement Suite

There are better platforms out there.

Pros

  • Reaching a broad network
  • Promoting the job listings.

Cons

  • Able to upload documents
  • Have hiring questions

Return on Investment

  • For the cost I would use Hireology, not Indeed

Fill the open position you need quickly

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Indeed Hiring Platform is used by our HR department in order to assess candidates for specific open roles within the company. It has helped us to quickly assess candidates and set up interviews and next steps. The platform decreases the applicant pool and has been of assistance to our HR team when speedy replacements are necessary.

Pros

  • Filtering by experience/qualities needed
  • Providing a large pool of applicants
  • Speeds up the hiring process

Cons

  • Would be nice to have a feature where you can respond to applicants through email instead of through the platform
  • For roles that need multiple interview sessions or a very large pool to choose from the features of this platform are not super accomodating
  • Candidate quality is sometimes subpar, even after filters are used

Return on Investment

  • Hiring process took less than a week, saving us time
  • Speedy hiring process also leads to less money spent
  • Communication worked for both the applicant and us as a company- which was a positive experience
