“Used to be good. Now it’s trash. — Indeed is completely useless now. Keeps showing me jobs that are completely irrelevant based on my qualifications and preferences.” — ★☆☆☆☆“Trash — You put in the location that you’re at and it gives you jobs that are an hour to two hours away when you put 15 to 25 minute commute no wonder nobody can find jobs on your app” — ★☆☆☆☆“Location — It’s really annoying that I can’t exclude states or cities. I live next to Philly so majority of my job results are based in Philly, which is useless because I don’t want to work over there.” — ★★☆☆☆

I thumbs down and still see the same jobs the next time. Also while reviewing job descriptions the page freezes and won’t scroll up or down - drives me crazy!

Most employers throw their listings on there nowadays and either forget to take them off after hiring someone or use AI to screen applications and automatically throw out a bunch of resumes. Many will not update you on your status as a candidate as well. I appreciate Indeed’s messaging feature, but most of the time,…” — ★★☆☆☆
