I have, on at least two occasions informed them that their system is returning false positives. I program using Assembly language. This has been around since at least 1964 with the S/360 from IBM. Here is part of one of my emails: "assembly language" is what I am searching for. Can you please tell me how these are matches: Field Vehicle Maintenance Supervisor Substation Engineering Lead Financial Analyst Virtual Educational ASL Interpreter (Missouri Certified) And I get this back as the answer (boiler plate): Our search is a keyword search. This means that when you enter multiple words without quotation marks, the search will return results with job listings that contain all of those words in either the job title or description. Those words may not necessarily appear together in the job listing. I may as well talk to a wall.

I came across a job advert on the simplyhired website today that is titled "7.5 tonne flatbed driver (with Stanley John, Newbury, Berkshire). Further down in the ad under full job description & requirements it asks that applicants have a Class 2 license minimum. This is ad is deseptive and confusing as it does not make it clear exactly what is required for the role - with a job title of "7.5 tonne flatbed driver" and minimum requirements Needed "Class 2 Licence" It makes it hard for employeed interested in 7.5 tonne work who Dont have a class 2 licence, to apply for roles like this. My Suggestion, when placing an ad for work that requires drivers who only have a certain level of skill (such as 7.5 tonne, and dont have a class 2 license) please make it cear in the title what the job requirements are...and not halfway through the advert in the job reuirements section. Doing so would make it alot clearer to applicants what the Actual role requirements are.

It is ok, I like the website

True- This website is not user-friendly not like Naukri. The website name is simply hired, It was very complex to apply for the jobs. I am not getting a single response.

I just think the system is very difficult to use. As I'm trying to review applicants, I'm just given initials of each applicant so I can't really remember which was good or not when I finish going through all the applications. I can put a star but that's really not enough. You can't even contact applicants without paying to reveal them even to thank them for applying or give some sort of update. Then the cost of 'revealing' an applicant is just random. It also randomly pauses your jobs every day due to inactivity - i don't even know what that means. There were applicants and I reviewed the applications. It's much better to get a spreadsheet on your computer with all the applicants or a printout. It's just annoying going through on the website.

Employers beware! You will pay to reveal each application if so desired. SimplyHired has no way whatsoever to protect your company from the unemployment scammers out there still trying to milk the system since the epidemic days. Entry level applicants are filling out applications, simply hired is having you pay for the reveal and then applicants are ghosting. Huge drain on resources. Big waste of money and time. Applicants are requesting absurd amounts for entry level employment. Find an alternate, more reliable route. Simply Hired is a waste.

We started using Simply Hired last year because we liked that they post to multiple hiring platforms and their rates are competitive. However, they are not easy to deal with. When we first created an account and posted a job, the job was paused by them....AFTER we received applicants. They did this because they wanted to verify that we are a legit business. That is fine, but how about do that before allowing us to post a job?? Gave them documentation proving we are a legit business and they unpaused the job. Fast forward a year, we now need to post for a new position....SAME ISSUE!!! We received 5 applicants for the job but we are not allowed to do anything with those applicants because they suspended our account. When I sent them an email inquiring as to the reason, they advised me that they need to verify our business. Ummmmm....you did that already! So, I responded at 8am advising them that we have already verified that we are a legit business and asked for them to reinstate our account....12 hours later and I still haven't received a response. Will just post our job on another platform that we haven't had these issues with.

I have noticed that many too many jobs go to sites like Doostang and Velvet Jobs that require payment in order to access the site. It seems like you should either put some burst or other indicator on those jobs so people don't waste time looking at jobs they don't want to pay for OR alternatively don't take the jobs that don't have direct access without payment. This does not happen on Indeed. On Indeed it is pretty much only direct non-paid sites, whether it takes you to a link or right to the company website.
