What is Simply Hired?
Simply Hired is not a standalone board - it is a surface of Indeed, owned by the same parent company, and posting here creates the listing on Indeed rather than adding reach on top of it. For agencies, the practical implication is clear: Indeed's free posting restriction on Staffing Firms carries through here, so the free tier is not available to them in the way it appears. With no API, no MCP, and minimal independent infrastructure, it functions as an entry point for employers who find it first rather than a deliberate channel choice.
What are Simply Hired's key features?
Posting on Simply Hired creates a listing on Indeed; no separate candidate database.
Salary Estimator tool lets recruiters benchmark compensation by job title and location.
Knockout questions filter applicants at apply time before they reach your dashboard.
Candidate management dashboard tracks inbound applicants and their status in one view.
No Simply Hired API or MCP server; integrations run through Indeed instead.
How do recruiting teams use Simply Hired?
- Reach candidates on a second surface without a second posting to manage.
- Track postings to see which companies are actively hiring.
- Use that intent to find the decision-maker and open the conversation.
Who is Simply Hired best for?
- In-house teams that want free distribution with no separate workflow
- Not for staffing agencies - Indeed's restriction on free posts applies here too
- Not for teams expecting extra reach - this is an Indeed surface, not a separate board
What are Simply Hired's pros and cons?
Pros
- Free to post, with the listing created through Indeed's standard flow.
- Adds a second candidate-facing surface without a second posting to manage.
- Covered by Indeed's privacy program, including EEA and UK data rights.
Cons
- Not a separate channel: posting here is posting on Indeed, with no extra reach.

- No Simply Hired API or MCP server; integrations run through Indeed instead.
What are people saying about Simply Hired?
Reviews split roughly two to one between employers and candidates. Employers describe free job slots that returned real applicants, with a few filling a role inside a week. Then three of them describe the same thing happening: account verified, card added, applicants arriving, and the account deactivated mid-hire with no reason given and no reply from support. Others object to paying per candidate reveal, and one notes support stopped altogether once it came under Indeed.
