does indeed.com check out the companies that use their website

Why are you contemplating applying to Shady shite?

What's the position

And is it remote?

Someone I know who works in HR told me that people call in all the time to check on the status of the job they applied for. If their name doesn't come up they ask them where did they apply and most of the time they say indeed.

Evidently indeed will take jobs from their site and then puts the starting salary at an average rate, which is usually higher than what the job actually pays.

Take that for what it's worth. It use to be a good site for finding jobs, but they depend on content so there is a lot of bullshite ads posted on there.

I use it and pay to bump the ad up to the top. Works well.

What site is better to find a job?

Zip recruiter is pretty good. There is also glassdoor, dice, and linkedin.

My company used to use Indeed, but very few qualified applicants actually applied. Most everyone seemed to be applying with no intention of getting the job - simply used it as "proof" they were trying to keep getting UE benefits.

I spent hundreds on an indeed ad for a construction manager and I was to the letter specific on what we wanted and required experience. Al I got was resumes from out of work plant workers and CB&I engineers

job is still open BTW
