As an update after my issues I do keep coming back to this bad app. You need to get your notifications fixed. I get a notification on my phone from a place I have been talking to and excitedly open it and it’s a comment from over 24 hours ago. How is your stuff that bad. This needs to be fixed as your gonna get peoples hopes up thinking they might be getting good news or a new opportunity only for it to be the same thing we already talked about with that job.
Used the app a while ago so don’t remember or cant find my password. Do the link and change my password and it says I’m doing the wrong password. So do the forgot password link a second time using the same password and when I go back into the app again I get the same error. I have written down the password and know I’m doing the correct one. Way to make an app that actually works. Keep up the great work. I’m glad that I’m trying to just find a second job cause if I need a job this would be very much more frustrating. So third time trying the password and finally got it to work. So immediately get a screen with do you want to start a resume or upload one and at the bottom of that page is a rate the experience on making a resume. Why is it so hard for people to understand let us create or use something before you ask for a review. It shouldn’t be common sense but man is it ever. So I skip all that to start looking at jobs and select the city I’m at. All of a sudden the list is all over the place. It’s my city then downtown then 40 minutes from me then back to downtown. Is it really so hard to have this function right. Each job had a city listed so how is it you don’t have something in place that groups up all the city’s together. I’m trying to find a job and this makes it harder. YOURE BETTER OFF JUST CALLING PLACES AROUND YOU AND SEEING WHERE IT IS YOU NEED TO APPLY AND GO THAT ROUTE THAN USE AN APP LIKE THIS THAT IS OF NO HELP. In this day and age a system that functions so pathetically bad is unforgivable it really is. We should be at a point tech wise that we can sort things better than this. Lol was reading reviews of the company I work for and after so many they start to blur them out. They state review this company to be able to read reviews. Your going to get places bad reviews or fake reviews so people can just read the reviews. Great job.
Okay tool and probably the best one currently available. Three things that are incredibly annoying. 1) The same job gets reposted sometimes daily and over and over, so even though you’ve seen it on prior days, your filter to see new jobs picks it up again. 2) There should be an option to hide postings by company. Too many recurring gig jobs posted by the same companies end up in my lists. 3) Lastly, my last position was a volunteer position yet Indeed kept pressuring me to review them. I couldn’t even see full reviews for posted jobs until I did so. Ninety percent of the review questions I was “required” to answer were irrelevant for the position and to require textual responses also? Silly….
Indeed used to be a great app to find employment. For the last few months just about 60% of the ads are scams. Now this a place where they all want to flock over to. It gets discouraging now. The scammers will take the name of a real business/company, made everything look legit and reach out to you for an interview. I’m so disappointed, i know it’s not indeed fault but I just wish there was a way to scan out credentials or business EINs etc to make sure it’s a legit company. I feel bad for any person who is desperate looking for a job, I understand but just be careful please. Check the reviews, if you can’t click that Companies’s name on indeed and view their info, stay away
Since I’m open to doing a variety of things and I don’t want to miss a job I might not have thought of, I search for “all jobs” in a city close to me within a reasonable radius in which I would be willing to commute.
The Indeed app responds by including job listings well outside of my area, including on the opposite coast! If these were six-figure or remote jobs I would understand, but I’m not going to be moving across the country for $25/hr, or commuting 250 miles one way for $18/hr!
I guess employers are Indeed’s real customers, so if an employer wants to pay to spam their job listings in a city far away, Indeed doesn’t feel the need to stop them for our sake.
If indeed a job is to help you look for a job why are there so many scams? Indeed is the most popular job site that help you find legit jobs and it also help you find scam jobs. They have no customer service to ever speak to. Jobs that are removed that you applied for should still be accesible for documenting or reporting purposes. I was recently scammed out my money for a “job” I applied through indeed. If your job is to help one get a job you should be making sure all these jobs are legit and scam proof. My recommendation is to apply places in person paper application or on their official website. I would not recommend using indeed any more.
If you’re looking for a job, it’s a nice app because they have a lot of job listings. However there’s a lot of times that they email you a job that you might be interested in and it’s not anywhere near where you live, like 3 hours away or in another state far away. Also they send a lot of spam emails pretending to be a company that is interested in you and inviting you to apply. I’m assuming it’s part of their algorithm trying to match you with a company but they need to really work on that because a lot of these companies they try to match me with, I don’t even have qualifications for.
It was great at first but now I get Bot emails from jobs all over the US saying “Hi ___, we saw your profile on indeed and thought you would be a great match for ________” it’s just spam!, half the jobs don’t even want you / aren’t in your area/ you aren’t even qualified for! But you get like 7 emails a day. My inbox is flooded by the indeed bots sending me completely random jobs I am completely unqualified for that are in whole other states. Without this I’d give a 4-5 star but I cannot handle the level of spam they’re either putting out or slowing the employers to put out with bots
I’m a Home improvement business owner and used Indeed a few times with some luck (hired 2 great people). My first complaint is I kept being charged after the cut off date that you can put in place, second time I set up a job post and DID NOT post it yet (so I thought), indeed posted my job anyway and a few days later I had a bill close to $300. When I called them about this, they pretty much said tough crap for you. I felt violated and canceled the job post and I’m not using INDEED again. I’m still in search of one more worker though.
Indeed deleted my account and said I requested to delete it myself. Confusing considering I would never delete my account nor risk it being removed! Tried contacting indeed to no avail and I really need answers.
Upon indeed helping me resolve this issue, I came across more startling information. They track everything! All of your information literally! Definitely read all information before accepting all terms and conditions because omg! This hurts because I generally love the app it’s full of opportunity
This app is mainly for data mining off of desperate people. When my profile was active, my spam calls, emails, and snail mail exploded. This was directly associated with my resume since they sell my data, even though I have it private. My resume was stolen by a fake company, then indeed just sent me a link for how to deal with identity theft. I’m no longer working or have faith in job sites due to this “company.” Just be unemployed, it will be a better use of time than trying to use this site.
