Indeed Flex

Review:

Launched in the U.S. in 2020, Indeed Flex offers a workforce management solution for temporary staffing. The platform features a talent marketplace, where employers can post shifts and temporary employment opportunities across the industrial, hospitality, retail, clerical, and facilities management sectors in the U.S.

Similar to other talent marketplaces and staffing agencies, Indeed Flex charges a fee on top of the wages paid to candidates hired using the site. Indeed Flex is a particularly convenient solution for employers looking to fill shifts at the last minute, which is something traditional job boards are not suited for.

Pros:

• Indeed Flex offers a range of employer solutions, including a talent marketplace for temporary staff.
• Employers can post and fill shifts within minutes.
• The platform caters to a range of industries, including facilities management, retail, and hospitality.
• The platform uses a smart matching algorithm to help employers find the right candidates.
• A convenient mobile app makes it easy for job seekers to accept shifts on the go.
• The platform offers workforce management software and a vendor management system.
• The Indeed name is globally recognized and highly regarded.

Cons:

• The platform does not feature live chat support.
• The accessible talent pool is limited to candidates who are registered on Indeed Flex.

Reputation:

On Facebook, Indeed Flex has a 1.8-star rating based on a dozen reviews. The majority of the reviews are from employees who have had a negative experience with the company.

Indeed Flex vs. Indeed:

While Indeed Flex is a flexible staffing platform for shifts and temporary roles, Indeed is a traditional online job board. Both platforms allow employers to post jobs and browse candidate profiles. However, unlike with Indeed, reach on Indeed Flex is limited to candidates who are registered as Flexers, and the service covers only a few industries.

Indeed Flex vs. Speedlancer:

Speedlancer and Indeed Flex are both talent marketplaces, where employers can post jobs to find suitable candidates registered with the respective services. However, the platforms differ in the markets they serve, with Speedlancer covering creative and IT-related jobs and Indeed Flex listing jobs in hospitality, retail, and similar industries.

Indeed Flex vs. Poached Jobs:

Unlike Indeed Flex, which caters to several industries, Poached Jobs only serves the hospitality industry. However, while Indeed Flex is a staffing platform for shift work, Poached Jobs features a traditional job posting service and distributes job posts to other job boards in addition to facilitating shift hires.
