Indeed Job Search 4+

Only rating it so people who search five stars can really read it.
It seems now a days employers are creating fake job postings to gather data. They won’t even answer or have a position open they just repost to seem as if they are a growing company but never hire. Do not take my word for it do your own research it’s out there semi being suppress but it’s out there. Indeed won’t do anything about it neither will its sister app Glassdoor, it seems it’s all the hiring apps or websites are doing this to an extent.
What a shame I’m struggling to find a job I hate unemployment it’s degrading yet I can’t get a simple email or call back. I don’t know what will happen but I hope to find something soon, just keep that in mind if you decide to walk out without having something in your back pocket jobs don’t care for you so just do what you get paid for and don’t ever over work your self and get out to something else.

While my experiences with indeed have been miles better than most other job search apps, there is still A LOT left to be desired. For one, the search function is pretty bad, and the filter functions are terrible. For example, I could filter my search to only include entry level data entry jobs that require a bachelors, and yet half the jobs are for hospital roles that need a masters and a decade of experience. I also wish there was a way to filter out certain industries or companies. A large amount of almost all my search results are direct sales companies and pyramid schemes, under the pretense of “account manager” or “marketing jobs”. The fact that there is no way for me to filter out crappy and unrelated jobs adds way more time to my job search and bloats my search results to the point that it’s almost unusable. With that being said, as bad as it is, these same issues are much worse in many of the other apps (with the exception of handshake, but that’s not available to everyone).

Edit: Another issue I forgot to mention is scams. If you put your phone number on indeed be ready to be inundated with countless scam calls. I’m pretty sure indeed sells them your info. On top of that be careful because there are countless “jobs” that are just opportunities for scammers to steal your info. You can report them but indeed does nothing about it.

I have major privacy concerns with this app. Despite having done my part in app to secure whatever information I can- I still get texts messages from illegitimate “employers” with “job offers”. NO LEGITIMATE employers are going send you texts like “We saw your resume on Indeed blah blah blah click this link to apply” Clicking that link is a good way to forfeit sensitive information from your mobile device. My information via résumé should only be visible to the jobs that I’m applying to! PERIOD. Despite trying to put as much on private as I can through your app, I still get these text. Which has lead me to believe that it’s likely very easy for illegitimate individuals to create employer accounts. No legitimate employer is going to be so informal! That’s a RED FLAG! The other thing you guys should be aware of any job listing that is “commission only” or “appointment-based only”? Those are NOT in any way shape or form legitimate employers. What they are is scams. If a listing doesn’t offer an hourly wage? IT’s a SCAM. That is just an opportunist looking to make money off of the people in a bind. Who are unsuspecting & none the wiser. Filter those out of your listings IMMEDIATELY! I hope you take the information I have given you & IMPROVE the user experience. DO BETTER!
