Indeed Connect for Employers Reviews

I’m so grateful Indeed went back to an app to communicate with applicants on the phone. IndeedConnect functions well & I have enjoyed the ability to access my job position anywhere.

IndeedConnect is simple. And I love that. Until yesterday, loading someone’s resumé was non-existent. Seems like that bug and format was fixed.

However, I add about 3-4 custom questions for each applicant to answer. They are softball questions, like, ‘what are your short term and long term goals?’ and ‘where would you like to vacation?’

When someone applies now, I get a standard email and I can see the custom questions answered right in a one-page review before I even go into the indeed web platform. Would be so easy to add this into Indeed Connect.

I don’t care about the answers to my questions, but it weeds out about 50% of lame applicants that upload a resume and apply to 10 other job positions that indeed recommends they apply to.

Help us (employers) help you. Indeed is a great platform, but if you could help us more easily weed out candidates that were unresponsive, robotic, and lacked bare minimum human behaviors and skill sets, it would give us a leg up to hire quality leads and appreciating the quality of the platform more than the quantity it provides. Just makes us work more.

IndeedConnect is a much more streamed than the website but the chat feature doesn’t allow you to see the text you are typing while your typing it. So it rather annoying having to go back and forth to the keyboard and text box. Hope they can fix this glitch.

IndeedConnect doesn't actually do much. It would be nice to be able to quickly sort or classify applications as they come in. Also, IndeedConnect is pretty buggy. Often I get a notification to view a new application, but after viewing the application and returning to the list, the new applicant doesn't appear on the list.

Helpful app for quick glances, wish I could pause or close jobs from IndeedConnect though and not have to go to the website on safari. The drop down menu is there that makes it look like you can change the status but other choices don’t show.

So glad to finally have a mobile integration of the hiring platform. Only thing I’d love to see is a screen to review screener questions. As it is right now you can only see resumes

I like that they also email you the applicants’ answer to the questionnaire for record.

Indeed has issues across all of their platforms that make it difficult to navigate as an employer. IndeedConnect is no different. When you have a job posting on the screen and click the three dots, then “job details,”.. there is nothing but a spinning icon. I need to see what the details of my own posting are, from IndeedConnect .

This is great for reading and sending quick chats to candidates, but none of the message templates are available. This means you are typing on the fly, and isn’t conducive to first contact messages.

When I pause a job post, indeed connect won’t let me view candidates anymore. But when I try to access this through Safari, it just kicks me over to IndeedConnect . So basically, once you pause accepting new applications, you can no longer see current applicants on your phone in any way unless you delete IndeedConnect.

I’m a tech savvy person and know it’s no user error. IndeedConnect doesn’t work at all.
I sign in and it tells me I can’t view my job postings.
I want to be able to see applicants while not at my computer and weed them out, but IndeedConnect doesn’t function so I can’t.
You would think a company that it tech based would have a flawless app, yet here we are.

I don’t understand the point of IndeedConnect. It has almost no functionality, I can’t see new candidates that I haven’t already messaged, I can’t use indeed through my phone browser because it just keeps kicking me back to IndeedConnect. I deleted it. Indeed already has terrible functionality, I’m not surprised their app was even worse.

Has a simple interface for messaging or calling candidates while on the go. I’m impressed!

This is a very basic app to just view the recent chat between you and potential candidates. Not much options for viewing and filtering candidates etc. Even the chat has very limited options.
Not much of a use.

I am beyond grateful for the indeed platform. It has helped me build and scale multiple businesses with such ease. Highly recommended!

It would be so much more useful if I could mark a candidate as a potential match. Also, can’t see the full answers to my questions to applicants. Why?

Very fast results after verification

IndeedConnect has so few features. Super disappointed in how basic this is. Nothing more than messaging and seeing the applicants resume. At least add some of the more popular features from the website.

I cant access any of my templates, but its nice to use after I send my initial response through the website.

Only lets me see prospective employees I’ve messaged. I need to see resumes…. I will delete this piece of junk and maybe use another job app next time. There’s too many things going on online with I deed anyway. Tons of distractions keeping me Fromm doing my job.

IndeedConnect is practically worthless. Functionality is clunky and frustrating. If I didn’t need it I wouldn’t bother with the struggle. 😩

Update — the more I use IndeedConnect, the more I can’t stand it. Horribly unresponsive. Can’t wait to delete it! I’ll use a different one for future hires. I’d give it zero stars if I could.
