Are jobs on Indeed real? I can't count the number of jobs I've applied to and it just feels like these are just scams. Can people here share their experiences?

The jobs on indeed are definitely real, I've gotten a few interviews from jobs that I found on there. I think there's the potential for scams on any website though, so it's always a good idea to check things out and make sure the post is legit.

Most jobs on Indeed are legitimate, but it's essential to verify the company or recruiting firm advertising the position. Recently, I applied for a job and received a call from a woman asking for my National Insurance number to forward my application to the recruiting company. I requested an email for verification. After receiving the email, I researched the recruiter’s company and discovered it was listed as “Liquidation” on Companies House UK and “permanently closed” on Google. Please exercise caution, as not all companies on Indeed are genuine. I reported this to Indeed immediately.

My current job was from Indeed actually! But yeah I agree with you, it looks like you would get 1 response from a thousand applications.

I’ve had the most luck on Indeed compared to yhe five other app I also use. Best luck has also been with non-remote.

Hi fishes, what are the chances of Pwc AC bangalore rescinding an offer given the current market condition?
