Doesn't work
I spent 3 months looking for a job before finding the ideal post and applying online. 2 weeks later I had an email from Indeed stating that there had been an error in submitting my application. By this time the closing date had expired for the job. Really poor!!!

Hello, Tracey! Thank you for reaching out! A recent technical issue affected some job applications, and some applicants received a confirmation even though their application was not delivered to the employer. This issue has been fully resolved. We understand the confusion this may have caused. We have identified the affected job seekers and have notified them with next steps. No data was compromised. Thank you for your patience while we resolved this issue.
Very frustrating platform
Very frustrating platform. Just had an email to say there was a technical issue delivering my application, so I missed out on the chance of a job as the position had then been filled.
Despite knowing my work and location preferences, I’m repeatedly sent roles that are nothing to do with my skillset or are hundreds of miles away!
Addition after the response:
My application wasn’t delivered at all, so I missed out on being considered for the role. They hadn’t received anything from me.

Hi TG, thank you for sharing this, we certainly understand your frustration with not receiving a response from an employer on Indeed.
While we provide the tools and platform to connect employers with job seekers, hiring decisions and outreach are handled directly by employers themselves. That means we unfortunately can’t guarantee a response to every application. We encourage employers to respond to all applications.
To support you during this time, we recommend exploring our Career Guide, which offers valuable advice and resources: https://www.indeed.com/career-advice. Additionally, this article specifically addresses what to do if you aren't hearing back from employers: https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/finding-a-job/what-to-do-if-you-arent-hearing-back-from-employers.
We will ensure your feedback is shared internally.
Indeed requiring too much information to do a simple search
Indeed has made a change to their website that users cannot do a simple search without having to provide too much personal information.
Just to do a simple search like you can do on Monster.com or Glassdoor.com without entering any personal data, Indeed has chosen to make users enter an email then wait for a six digit code they will send to that email address then they want your phone number.
In this era where spam calls and email are still occurring regularly, I am not giving my information out unnecessarily especially when I don't know what they are doing with the information.
I understand needing this information if I am uploading a resume to their website or applying for a job through their site. BUT NOT FOR DOING A SIMPLE JOB SEARCH.
If you need more information or wish to response please do so to this website or to my e-mail, I DO NOT have a Whatapp account so do not ask me to respond to you via that option.

Indeed & Glassdoor
Indeed - never had any good from this. Glassdoor - the reviews process is far from perfect and anyone with a grudge can write terrible lies and get away with it - nothing is done. Then in order to have an account for Glassdoor you HAVE to sign up to Indeed and HAVE to give your phone number - mine is now deleted. Terrible company

Robotics Have Taken Over Indeed (beware)
Indeed used to be a pretty good job site. 5 years ago they were run well. Today, each day they implement more and more aggressive robotics and the other day those robots changed the preferences and exposed my personal and confidential information contained in my CV to the entire internet causing a avalanche of spam. Those personal details can never be retrieved. After that their robotics then suddenly stole all the data from my uploaded PDF resume and inserted those details into their own very ugly CV formatting system (also without my consent) and reformatted my entire resume. It was impossible to delete their version and the robotics blocked my applications to firms unless I used it. I will be deleting my account. Sadly, robots have taken control of Indeed and they are no longer a trustworthy platform.

Hi there, we are very sorry to hear that you feel this way. To clarify, we do not have an automated system like this where your personal preferences would be changed. These changes would need to be actioned by the account owner. Further to this, if a CV is set to public visibility on our CV database, it is only accessible within that database to employers who have an Indeed account, it would not be published on the wider internet.
Additionally, the process to upload a CV to Indeed and have it converted to our template is actioned by the account owner also, job seekers can use their original CV file to apply for jobs on Indeed. This is not something that we block, we encourage job seekers to choose their preferred method to apply for jobs.
If we can assist in any way please follow up with us by email at trustpilot@indeed.com.

Hi, Lisa! We sincerely apologize for your experience, and we understand how upsetting it is to show up for an interview and be told there are none. To clarify, interview requests on Indeed are sent directly by the employer, not by Indeed. If you believe this employer misrepresented the interview, you can report it so that our internal team can document and further review. When you have a moment, email us at trustpilot@indeed.com and include the direct URL link to the specific job posting on Indeed. Thank you!
Use anything else but Indeed at this point
Indeed.com has consistently gotten worse over the years. Pages and pages full of the same exact jobs to make it appear like they actually have job listings and now they've added a "review details" section when applying to jobs that takes up even more time. Use anything else but Indeed at this point

Hi Manmukh, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. To clarify, when you create an account on Indeed you should have the option to post a free to post job, however, some postings may need to be sponsored due to the nature of the job. All job postings are subject to review with our Trust & Safety team and the decision may be made that a job posting will require sponsorship if it is in the best interests of our job seekers and our job posting policies.
If you would like us to have a look at your job posting please follow up with us by email at trustpilot@indeed.com with more details.
Deliberately misleading advertising costs
I’ve been using their platform to advertise for my small business for 12 years. Over the course of the last two years, their billing has become deliberately not transparent and confusing. My last ad ran for two days cost for $38 and didn’t have a single hit or impression. The one before that cost me way more and 98% had no qualifications for the job whatsoever. Warehouse stalkers and forklift drivers as opposed to Spa receptionists. Both times when you write to complain, you get a very standard exactly phrased. Oh this was your fault because you didn’t write the ad right but we’re gonna be really kind to you and give you a credit this time only for your next ad. It’s only now that I’m starting to see these horrendous reviews on trust pilot. They clearly don’t care about small businesses anymore, but still want to take what they can.

Hi Kate, to explain, employers on Indeed are charged per click, not per candidate. Indeed isn’t involved in hiring decisions and can’t control candidate quality or volume. You have full control: set budgets, and pause or close jobs anytime. As a self-serve platform, please review active sponsored jobs regularly to keep listings up to date and avoid unwanted charges, ensuring a flexible and efficient hiring experience.
If you need any assistance, please email us at trustpilot@indeed.com with some additional details so we can further assist. Thank you.
They sometimes are good
They sometimes are good, but I’ve recently moved areas and I’ve changed it on the app and I keep getting emails about jobs from where I used to live and it’s so annoying. I’ve also put what my skills are on the app and it keeps sending me jobs that aren’t for my skills, like doctor jobs or dentists and I don’t have any of them skills?

Hi Holly, we recommend updating your Job Alerts to receive relevant alerts. From any alert email: scroll to the bottom and click Unsubscribe to stop that alert, or Manage alerts to change settings.
Stop doctor/dentist-type mismatches
Refine your “What” keywords to your skills and titles only; avoid very broad terms.
Add negative keywords with a minus sign (web only in the “What” box), for example:
customer support -dentist -doctor -clinical
Use filters like “Job category/Occupation” or “Experience level” to narrow the field.
They are shielding employers from accountability
They are shielding bad companies from negative reviews.
Just like Glassdoor, Indeed engages in censorship.
Companies need to keep their Glassdoor or Indeed reviews positive to look good on paper without fixing real problems.
Toxic leadership, bad working conditions, bullying and racism gets a pass on such platforms.
They are trying to make companies' reviews shine and when you fall into the trap of a toxic employer, the damage had already been done.
Glassdoor and Indeed are no longer reliable. Use them for sending Resumes if you like but that's about it.

Hi MB, all company page reviews on Indeed are subject to a moderation process. Our goal is to make sure we are posting reviews that are transparent and reflect the true working experience of the company.
However, if any part of a review violates our guidelines, we will not post it. If you wrote a review for a company it may still be undergoing moderation as this process can take up to 48 business hours. If after 48 hours, you notice the review has not been posted or that the review was removed after being posted, it is likely that the review did not conform to our guidelines. Y
ou can view the guidelines at: https://support.indeed.com/hc/en-us/articles/360046789111-Company-Review-Policies.
We advise you to look at our guidelines and revise your review and repost it. Unfortunately, we are not able to discuss individual reviews that may not have been approved.
Allow fake job advertisements
While using indeed I have had my information stolen from fake job adverts and also noticed they allow fake advertisements from the likes of Staffpower Group and Optimum Skills!.
These companies advertise fake jobs to lure people onto their government funded courses while also having a constant rotation of free workers/slaves!
Indeed have been informed about this many times over the years and still allow the fake adverts to be posted because they get paid for posting adverts.
You can apply for 300 jobs and not hear back from 1 which is also a bit suspicious.
Job adverts which have expired still show up in searches.
Select you want to see jobs where a driving license is not needed and results show you jobs where a driving license is needed ect
REPLYING TO INDEEDS RESPONSE.... I have contacted indeed multiple times to inform yous about these companies and yous do nothing about it!. Look at Staffpowers job adverts and please tell me where in any of their job adverts do they mention training courses before any chance of an interview???? They advertise for full time jobs not government funded training courses!!! Yous allow false advertising because yous dont care and just want the money!

Advertised for a Sales person after talking to Indeed about poor response and inexperienced applicants. Took Indeeds advice to change the advert and add in more filters.

Hi Gary — thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry for the frustration.
To clarify how Indeed works: employers pay per click to advertise a role on Indeed, not per applicant. While we don’t participate in your hiring process, we do offer tools to help improve applicant relevance — for example, optimizing the job description, using screening questions and filters, and adjusting targeting. You can also pause or close a job at any time if you’re seeing too many, too few, or irrelevant applications.
If you’d like, we can review your job setup and share tailored recommendations to help you reach more qualified candidates. Please feel free to contact us at trustpilot@indeed.com, and reference this review so we can assist directly.

Hi Sarah, thanks for the feedback — we hear you. To see fresher roles, you can filter by date on Indeed: use the “Date posted” filter and choose options like “Last 24 hours,” “Last 3 days,” “Last 7 days,” or “Last 14 days.” You can also sort results by “Date” to show newer listings first, and set email alerts with the same filters so you only get recent postings. We’re working to make posting dates and freshness clearer — your input helps us improve.
