When you see a job on Indeed or Monster or other similar sites do you apply for the position through that site or do you go directly to the company site and apply there or find the hiring manager and apply directly?
Does anyone know the path your resume etc takes when you apply through Indeed etc vs. direct through the website. Does it get to HR or the Hiring Manager more quickly? Does it go through an applicant tracking system through these sites too? Advantages, disadvantages etc?
I am especially interested in hearing from HR type people but all feedback is welcome.
Thanks
It's always best to apply through the company's site. Depending on the size of the company, most companies prioritize direct applicants over external job site applicants.
Indeed usually takes you to the company site, if it doesn't, I go to the company site and apply from there. I think it's better to use a company site if you can.
Is there any other better job sites than Indeed and Monster with fresher leads? I'm looking for MBA, business grad types of positions. Thanks!
