Reviews and Complaints

Indeed charges per click but they will not provide proof of who clicked on your ad. I posted an ad and typically we would get an average of 10 clicks on most other job sites. Indeed showed 480+ clicks in three days. They make sure your daily or monthly budget is always maxed and then hit you up to buy more otherwise your job is no longer posted. It is a huge scam. They rip-off employers all the time.

I recently posted a few jobs on your website. I received calls from Cian who was very rude. I also received the following email (dated 28th June 2018) from him which I found very unprofessional and rude and as for sending candidates to competitors, I was speachless Since this he has even tried to call again and I really do not want to deal with him. If I ever use Indeed again I do not expect this person to have access to my account.

I hope that you take this seriously and this employee is disciplined.

Claire,

I tried to call today but the receptionist seemed incompetent at putting me through.

You told me on Tuesday that you didn't need anything from Indeed at the moment but you have posted three positions on the account this morning. As I have mentioned many times before these positions are not set up for success and from your previous experience you will not make hires.

I know filling these 3 roles will cost £10k+ with an agency, you have told me that you want to reduce this cost. Do you think following the same recruitment strategy will achieve this? Posting roles blindly and leaving negative feedback on Indeed is not a sustainable plan to change this.

Contact me if this is a priority and you actually want want to achieve your recruitment goals. I'll continue to send our candidates to your competitors in the meantime.

Kind Regards,

Cian Burke
Account Executive, UK & Ireland

What a joke. We used indeed in the past and had 'iffy' results. Most of the 'applicants' whose resumes we received said, "I didn't apply with you," when we phone them. I assumed that the site had just slapped some random resumes to us to make it look like they got results. But, because we did hire one employee, we achieved our goal - one we'd weeded through the bogus applicants. Well, just this week, I took a chance and attempted to post 3 more jobs to indeed, giving them the benefit of the doubt - even after reading all their negative reviews. (I figured that perhaps they'd been going through some growing pains and I thought i'd give them another chance.) mistake! This unprofessional, unsophisticated, backwards site rejected my postings and asked me to 'prove my company's identity by sending them business licenses and utility bills!' seriously? Are the so stupid that they can't figure out how to look-up this information themselves and not bother their paying customers?! Sure, if they needed to validate identity, I get it; but to inconvenience a paying customer with such trivial bs is pure insanity! If I had an employee who repelled my paying customers, that employee would be gone! If I had employees who couldn't figure out how to problem solve, they'd be out! If I had employees who made it difficult for legitimate, 30-year companies and industry leaders, to post a simple ad, i'd have no use for such people! I've moved on and have posted my open positions with other reputable sites - and i'm already receiving excellent candidates. But I will never bother with indeed again - ever - and i'll make it my business to share with everyone that this company is, indeed, a joke! Move on, friends, indeed can't help you! They'll waste your time with their exercise in futility! They're ineffective and I can't wait to celebrate the day when they've been forced to shut their doors for good - because they don't deserve to be in business.

Like MANY OTHERS have posted here and elsewhere, Indeed's billing practices are highly deceptive.

I had used Indeed previously with mediocre results. When I needed to advertise again, my Account Rep pitched me on their PPC (pay per click model). He explained we would only get billed for Applications received and asked what my maximum budget was. because our type of job was not in high demand, he implied that I probably would never reach my daily maximum budget, which we set at $10.00/day. I left the ad running for about 40 days because we only got a few applicants and we had not filled the position.

To my shock, we got a credit card charge for over $400 from Indeed for this position. I immediately called my rep who changed his tune and said that the ads would always reach their daily maximum. I asked how this is possible when I only got a handful of candidates. All he could say was that was the way they bill. I argued that it was not what I signed up, not what had been explained previously. He said he would check with his superiors to see if anything they could do. He came back and said there was nothing they could do. So I disputed the credit card charge, offering an explanation similar to this, and I won the dispute, the card company agreed that I had been mislead. Fast forward about 9 months later, I wanted to try Indeed again, of course not using the daily budget option. They told me my account was disabled because of the prior dispute and they would not reactivate it!

So in summary, they mislead me, charged me a ridiculous amount of money for just a few Applicants and offer ZERO customer service to try and make up for it. Terrible terrible customer service.

I do not recall ever signing up to this site and when I go to attempt to disable my account you get caught in a loop and are unable to disable or close your account. I do not, under any circumstances want to receive information from this site nor do I want them to keep on file my information. I received a letter to review their privacy policy saying that if I do nothing they will continue with my account. It is impossible to close your account.

I do not appreciate being called by an immigrant on Memorial Day, an American holiday just so I can be solicited for a job.

This was rude, annoying and very unprofessional. How did you get my unlisted number and what made you think it was a good idea to harass me on a holiday?

I will never use your service or recommend you to anyone. However, I will suggest in the strongest terms I can that your company should be avoided at all costs.

I have been unable to get into my account. I ask for new passwords but after resetting my passwords they never work.
There is no human to talk to, as is tragically normal now, but there is also no place to complain- nothing.
I used them for job hunting for many years but now they are inacessible for me.
When this stupid company's stuff doesn't work it's just tough.

I did not post a review on my company on March 24, 2018. What can be done about this? I have that only position within the company. Is someone setting me up? Who can delete a review once it has been posted? What happens when my company see's this and approaches me, what can I do? I hope you can help me resolve this issue it will cost me a great deal of negative relationship with my company or my termination.

This is a complaint with regards to online fraud and cheating by Indeed employees from contact nos : #[protected] (Indeed paid services / Airtel / Delhi) & # [protected] (Airtel / Delhi)

The caller Ms. Priyanka and another caller (M) who did not reveal his name from the second number charged me a fee of Rs 2999/ on indeed site www.indeedjob.org.in saying its a paid service for an internal job posting for a senior relationship manager with HSBC Bank and gave me a reference id ABxy45.hr saying that i have been confirmed for the afforesaid position as i booked my seat with that id and now on the second call they said i need to pay another amount of Rs 8999/- for document verification.

This is cheating, i asked repeatedly in my first call about the process and other details and i was not told about the second payment or any extra pay that needs to be done.

I need my money back refunded to me as this is fraud and cheat to innocent job seekers like us.

I shall seek support of cyber cell further.

I got message that 330 AED has been deducted from my debit card on 1st april from indeed account which am not even using and disabled a month before.
This is unfair as they used my debit card without my knowledge and consent. This is a pure case of confidentiality breach.
They send me email as well to conform that my account has been disabled
This job portal is really a scam.strict actions to be taken and my money I need it back.

FEIT Electric, Pico Rivera, CA... went to interview and they ask about previous salaries that you have made. Then they insult you by saying "this is not a very glamorous job... implying about the way you were dressed. I went to the interview and they diverted me into another position that would set me up to fail.

PET PALS, Industry, CA... they gave me an interview appointment for tomorrow, and today I get a message"that they don't need me to come in anymore, as the position has been filled". This is poor business practices.

I have seen the same jobs descriptions listed under different (Fake companies). These cities that these so called jobs were listed in were very local to where I live and I have researched and there is no such company. Also, they list jobs that have already been filled. Been searching for over 4 mos. for a job and they list the same ones over and over - switching names. And then if there is a legit job (which I check name of company, then contact company website or directly), most often - they're not hiring. So it's all a big scam to get your personal info I believe. Never give your social on any website linked thru indeed...go directly to the company if you want to even risk you personal info. (Myself, I will wait til I see employee directly before I had out that info). I have spent hours trying to find work and repeatedly see nothing but fake jobs, fake companies or old jobs that aren't even there. It's sad...and they advertise how they are the #1 job search site.

This company posts job titles that do not even exist. There are one too many job scams on this site. Your information is not safe. Random people will get your number, your resume, and your email address even if its not set to public. I have had several people basically harass my email account about jobs that are not real and that i never even applied for. I have even had a few random people text my phone about the same thing. The people that do this are only trying to get your personal information so that they can scam you. Also the postings on indeed are misleading. You can apply for a position thinking that it is gong directly to the company you applied for but really it is a job recruiting agency who wants to call you and sell you a dream that they are going to help you find job. They never do. They will keep your information on file and never call you back after that first conversation. Indeed is not reliable. They are not helpful. And i personally feel that it is a waste of time.

They do not authenticate company's profile or even check their existence. Because of them I have fallen into a fraud consultancy for giving an interview.
The company took my AADHAR xerox and 2 passport size photographs and an amount of 200 Rs. Some job postings are from companies which does not even exist in real world. I think they should check once about the company and then post jobs into their websites. Otherwise how we wiil be able to determine which posting is fake or which is real.

I have been looking at plater welder jobs on this website for a while now and what I am finding is a lot of the jobs are fake. A lot of agencies are advertising the same job in the majority of most U.K. towns hoping that candidates will send there c, v to them so they have a data base full just in case a job comes in that area.Indeed should have a proper area so that you can report these parasites too,

hi,

Last year, we had a number of applications come through your site - despite the fact that we HAD NOT registered any openings with your website.

I had gotten in contact with someone from your team to put a stop to it, and it stopped.

Now, I am getting spammy emails again from applicants for roles that we have NOT posted on your site, let alone anywhere else.

Please also remove our company from your site - and please ensure that this does NOT happen again. This is the second time we have had to ask you do this.

* walk in in-person, met Wendy who claims to be the owner, had interview in Mandarin, she asked how I know about the hiring, told her I saw the ad on Indeed.ca, she looked at me with disgrace and said "but we didn't post any hiring ad online", explained to her that how the website works - that sometimes there are local people who pass by the store, saw the hiring ad posted on the window/door, and they post the information on the website to help job-seekers. (they are nice to do that, and we job-seekers honestly thank you and appreciate your help for posting the information online!)

* asked my work experiences, told her that I have serving experiences abroad, she then mentioned that usually they only hire males for this position. (sexist?!)

*asked if I drive, I replied that I live in the area and only takes about 30 mins walk. She says I require to drive for this position. I said "according to your post on the window, it said 'part-time cashier'. So how does that involves driving?" She replied as if they will constantly need me, but would only pay $11.20 even when promoted to full-time, basically made it clear that only hours will increase, but salary won't. ( Why would anyone be willing to drive to work that pays this little when it is only part-time, and you live within the area that's in walking distant? It's like what you're earning will go to the cost of driving. Then let me ask, if I do go to work for this company, by driving, what exactly am I earning then?! Gasoline is pricey! It's no joke!) She was saying aggressively that it would not be worth it if I walk to work. (How is she to say what's worth it or not when I should be the one who has the right to judge this. It's me who is applying for this job, and is willing to do this job, not her. To me, it is totally worth it to walk to work because it saves me a lot more money on gas and transportation.)

* Wendy refuses to take my resume (for judging me on the fact that I don't drive, instead of my actual working experiences), told me to reconsider taking the job, and when I was packing my papers up, she must have assumed I left the store already, shouted loudly in Mandarin to her husband, saying "That girl is no use and she is a liar! She said she found out we are hiring via online when we didn't even posted a job ad on the internet!" (Seriously? I'm a liar now? Then what's that link I just provided on here? Plus, I did explain how the website works. There's a difference between a liar, and having one tell you a fact but you choose not to believe.)

I just want to say, if any local people, especially high-school boys looking to get hired there, you should reconsider, otherwise, yeah...good luck!...

We are a recruitment agency, and focused on one particular segment. Recently Indeed deactivated all are free postings, and are asking for sponsorship. When I contacted Indeed, they shared their terms where Indeed can choose to stop any free adv. for anyone without any reasons, and ask them for sponsorship. As mentioned, they did this without specifying any reasons to stop free adv... I spoke to their customer care executive and they are not able to clarify the reasons basis they've deactivated our free postings ... and instead are asking us to go for sposorship... There are other agencies who operate in the same manner as we do, and their adv. (free) continue to feature on indeed... In my view this is discriminatory and is a way for Indeed to arm twist companies to go for sponsored adv. I believe Indeed should have a common and a fair policy for everyone who is associated with them, or should atleast inform the reasons for deactivation, so that we can take corrective actions... I've raised the same with them, and am waiting for a response from them.

People, why are you actually using them if there are so many other websites for job searching? Listen to us, other people who suffered from them. All they can do is to send you tons of emails. In short, spamming you. Spamming all the time, non-stop. I never got so many letters from anyone in one day. This is too much and unacceptable, you know. Not even the option of unsubscribing helped. NOTHING, people. Stay away and never apply, never give them your email address, or you will regret it on the same day. It's simply a scam
