Very poor customer service. The high price point ($35 each!) to reveal candidates that are not guaranteed to even respond back or show up for an interview, let alone become an employee. My account was closed out of the blue while I was in the middle of interviewing candidates. When I contacted support, it took them days to respond and state, "We have reviewed your account and have found it to be unsuitable for Simply Hired. Please note that this is a final decision. No further action is required on your part and no additional details regarding this decision will be provided. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause." I had verified all identity requirements which were accepted and didn't violate any terms and after inputting credit card details to reveal candidates for $35 each, they terminated my account without warning or explanation the next day, in very poor taste. There's way better and cheaper job and recruiting sites out there.

The easiest hiring platform I've used to date. I hired a new team member within 10 days and had over 20 applicants apply

There is 1 thing I appreciate about SimplyHired ... while seeking a Job for my husband, I noticed EVERY OTHER job site will say a job is located locally, then you click on it and it's 50 + miles away (which = we don't want it!)... it's a total waste of my time as they always list wrong locations.. Simply hired is the ONLY JOB SITE that doesn't seem to do this & I much appreciate it not wasting my time! Another plus is.. they don't seem to have endless useless pages showing up when you click on a link for a job - I want to scream with these other job listing sites.. so I revert back to Simplyhired for being Simple & using the CORRECT LOCATION of a job. Thank you.

Posted a job and a day later was notified that the job posting was suspended. I asked for an explanation and was told "The listing was unsuitable for Simply Hired". No specific reason.

Just posted a job as an employer, then discovered they want $13 to contact an applicant. If they applicant doesn't respond do we get a refund? Went to give them a call to ask, then discovered they don't have a telephone number. We're a small local business and have two full time people answering phones. If you can't be bothered to operate a telephone line, I'm not taking you seriously. Deleted the job we posted and moved on.

If I could give it a ZERO, I would! We post on Indeed. We dont post salary. SimplyHired scraped the listing and posted a salary of 80K! Now we are getting massive amount of interest and calls, but we are the ones looking bad since candidates feel we are bait and switching on them. WORST JOB BOARD ON THE INTERNET

Take it for what it is, a website where: 1) Recruiters post mostly fake jobs to feed their database with applicants to present to employers that are willing to pay a fee. 2) Where employers post jobs, not to hire at the time the job is posted, but to research the labor-pool, salary and experience levels, and if they are ready to hire, they may not disclose how little they are willing to pay. Your best bet as an applicant: Reply only to ads that are clear about compensation, where your research shows that the company really exists, and where they are offering compensation in line with their requirements. Stay away from the ads offering "From...", "Up to...", "Competitive...", and that go on for 10 pages of rhetoric intended to confuse, and attract applicants, under false pretenses. A real job, from a reputable employer, is Clear, Brief, gives you the company's name, and a clear numeric salary range. Ex: Smith Advertising seeks a Marketing Director, B.A. in Marketing Required, Master's a Plus, 5 Yrs. Exp. Required, $80K Yr." Notice... how brief and clear it is. Do take notice, that Simply Hired, gives a Salary Estimate for the positions advertised. Don't go by that. Go by what the employer states clearly in their job-description.

I clicked on a now hiring ad I saw on Facebook (my mistake I should've known better) and it didn't even have the job to apply for that they advertised and then all of a sudden i kept getting back to back non stop messages from them saying things like they deposited money into my paypal and to "click here" to go to my account. Another message saying the exact same thing only this time it was saying my Bank of America account and I don't bank with Bank of America and never have. I never clicked on anything but as soon as i hit the x to close it another one would pop up. This is a SCAM and even though I didn't click anything im feeling nervous cause I've been scammed in the past and I know how easily and quickly they can do it.
