reviews and complaints

I have used Indeed several times over the last few years and hired someone within days. Now I go and open a new business and we need urgently to hire our first 2 employees and after I posted the 2 jobs my account was blocked and I get some template email saying we blocked you for violating our terms. What is happening, these are basic vanilla job postings. I will revert to Craigslist which delivers the same caliber employees for very similar costs and takes just minutes to get a post active.

I would not recommend trusting Indeed, their site is not safe and it seems like Indeed moderators don't care about their own website.
I was in search of a job and Indeed was the first site I decided to try. I found several job offers which were fake. There were also offers which were old but were not removed from the site.
I am not satisfied with Indeed, pretty much waste of time, it's almost impossible to find anything there.
People are posting their job offers on Indeed, but Indeed doesn't check how trustworthy these employers are. Not worth.

It's fraudulent. Be careful! I want everyone to be aware (Like the others that have already been duped), don't let this happen to you. I keep getting ongoing notices offering money, time, credit and I have yet to speak to an individual. Once I texted a message back to the texting individual that they could call me, I have not received another message.

It's unbelievable. I'm not sure what the "gain" is for these people, but I know i'm not going to find out. I hope no one else does either. It's a little scary.

Indeed is a complete scam, do not use their service. I was a job seeker and was scammed by Indeed!
When I reported them and left several negative reviews online they contacted me and demanded me to delete everything! I refused to do that because I want people to know the truth. And do not give them your personal details and contact information, these people are rude and unprofessional.

I am a professional and recently applied for a job and downloaded my meticulously written resume via 'indeed'. The next day I went to the site to check on my resume and I was horrified to discover the poor format and gross mistakes made (for example- all of my past employers and experiences were listed under "Education") It made me look like an unpolished, unprofessional #####! I contacted 'indeed' immediately and they stated that they are "currently looking for ways to improve resume conversion". Seriously? This angered me more than I had been previously as they are obviously well aware that they are having huge problems downloading resumes and this is not a new problem for them. Had they warned applicants that their resumes would not appear as they should, I NEVER would have applied for any position. Your resume is EVERYTHING. They suggested that I go into my account and "edit" my resume. I was not willing to do this as it was so horribly downloaded that it would have required rewriting my whole resume. I immediately deleted my account. ADDITIONALLY ~ I received daily unwanted emails for prospective job openings. I am an RN and they were sending me email alerts for "Floor Cleaner" and "Financial Advisor"-- Really? Why would they do that. You don't need 'indeed' to apply for a job, you can do it better yourself.

while trying to upload my cv i am asked to rate all of my previous workplaces i have already done so and it still continues to ask about the same workplaces. i dont feel rating my workplaces is necessary, i didnt want to build my cv i just wanted to upload it and leave there. there is an option if i want to upload or build my cv but it seems i am still building it even though i have already uploaded it, this needs to be sorted because it makes it difficult to look for a job when i am being asked the review a workplace again and again, i wont be using this website to search for jobs and i wont be recommending it.

Before placing your ad on this site, be sure you totally understand how they charge. I place an ad, having no idea what I was doing and found the website was very unclear as to how they charge.in one week, we got 14 actual responses, and 6 of those were from outside of our state. We were just looking for a laborer to assist in equipment installation, yet we were getting engineers! But in addition to these 14 applicants, indeed claims that we had a total of 205 "clicks" and we were charged $3.71 per click (A total of $759.99 for one weeks worth of advertising) was this someone's kid sitting at a computer "clicking" or does someone in their office do it? Needless to say, we immediately withdrew our ad. The company representative continued to call and email to try to sucker us in for more advertising until we finally informed them that we felt they were disreputable and to cease attempts to contact us. Craigslist is far more effective and much cheaper plus you know in advance what it will cost.

Why is it that I apply for a job and follow up with the company and their is no job. They were not looking for anyone. Then other companies that are hiring do not receive my information.

I believe Indeed is advertising no existing jobs as a way to fill up their pages.

I intend to file a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau of North Carolina and the Online Business Bureau.

I applied to a job posting on Indeed.ca for an "Executive Assistant to the CEO" for "Resilient Management." I submitted my resume with full personal information. I was called by someone whose name came up on my phone as "Maybe:Tara" - I couldn't speak at the time. She texted me the next day saying she and "Steve" were working out of his home that day, texted me the address with an apartment # and asked me to come interview for them that afternoon?! I never even spoke to them once giving or receiving any initial information. She gave no advanced notice for the interview and why would I go to some random apartment for an interview? And why is this person's name coming up as "Maybe:Tara." I went back and found the posting on Indeed.ca. I re-read it more carefully. First I noticed the date of the posting was from May 2016. I applied Dec. 2016! Then made more notice to how grandiose and peculiar the entire posting was. I first called back and received a young girl's vm, whose name was barely audible and definitely didn't match the name "Tara". I then texted back "Maybe:Tara" just to see, if there was some crazy possibility that there was an inkling of credibility to this whole bizarreness. I texted that I would need to speak with her first to gather more information about the job, who the CEO was, etc. She never texted back. And I never heard back from her again, thank goodness. What if I had gone, as a female, unaccompanied to this bogus address for an "interview." Also, they now have my resume, with all of my personal info on it! It is absolutely crazy and dangerous that this site would not check "employers" and that they are up and running, having job seekers, professionals, submit resumes, that contain personal information, your address, telephone #, picture they can associate it all to on Linkedin, etc., to what could be potential psychopaths.

This website www.Indeed.com is absolutely useless if you are really interested in finding a job. There are a lot of jobs on this website but most of them were posted years ago.
I tried to contact several employers and they were surprised to know their job offers were still online.
I did not find any good job offers on this website and the whole thing was just a waste of time.

Very sketchy business practices. Poor communication, staff is clueless on company policies. Speak to 3 people you will get 3 different stories on company policy. Should be sued for unethical and illegal practices. Closes account and blocks listings but does not communicate or provide any information to restore service. However they charge for clicks even though they clocked accounts. Disputed charges and won dispute.

Hi,
I recently apply for a job in a indian restaurant through indeed. After few days later one of staff member of that restaurant contact me and ask for which position do you like to work (Waitress or kitchen hand) then I replied for that and I few days later again he contact me and ask weather still I am interesting about that job or not. Then I told him that I am still interesting about that. Then he asked me to come for a movie after the interview. Then I told him I can come to the interview but not for the movie. Again he forced me to join with him.
This seems to be as a sexual assault.
I have already attached the screen shots for your kind information.
I am looking forward to get further action against this assault. After this, I was very uncomfortable about this conversation.
Please get necessary action to regarding this conversation.

I placed several applications and attached my resume to different jobs through indeed. I spoke with a dentist's office to pay for services provided for my son. While on the phone I asked if they had received my application and resume for their job posting. They had not. I'm not getting calls from any of the postings that I applied for. Is any receiving them?

Hi, my name is jose and I represent creavelabs it solutions.

Am an employer and am writing this complaint because am fed-up with indeed.com's misleading job postings on their job portals. We are getting thousands of emails from their website as well as job seekers who mislead from the info shown on their website. We had disable our hr's email to block these spams. But again, people are searching our company name and getting contact details from there. We have to spend much of our time answering these poor job seekers who thinks we are being sarcastic to them, we are sorry but it is really frustrating.

Indeed.com as well as their other regional portals like indeed. Ae, indeed.Co.In, indeed.Co. Uk etc works the same way.

If you are a job seeker, please avoid these guys, if you are a victim like us, please voice your frustration!

Here are few references of the wrong, misleading info (If they saw this, they might remove these though) :
Http://www.Indeed. Ae/creavelabs-jobs
Http://www.Indeed. Ae/creavelabs-it-solutions-jobs

Earlier, when we detected these issues, we contacted one of their people and told them not to post any jobs on behalf of us without our consent. At that time they simply marked those job listings as "not available". (Eg: http://www.Indeed. Ae/viewjob?Jk=1c40f47dad8e3996)

And they have posted them again now! Very frustrating, unethical bunch of "people".

Upon browsing for jobs on indeed.com, I came across a job advertisement that I could not believe was allowed to be published and approved by indeed.com
The job vacancy clearly stated that no "black people" are allowed to apply as the location in which the job was being advertised does not have a "black" community. I am extremely angered that indeed.com has allowed this to be published on their website. I do not know if indeed.com has a monitoring system in place and if they must first approve of job advertisements or if companies have free reign over what they publish.
I have uploaded the job vacancy in question.
