| Abel Personnel vs. Indeed: When Job Boards Fall Short In late 2023, a conversation with a longstanding client highlighted an interesting shift in recruitment strategies. This organization had a strong history with Abel Personnel, evidenced by two employees who remain valuable team members to this day—one placed in 1999 and another in 2018. As new leadership took the helm of hiring decisions, the company gravitated toward online job boards like Indeed. Recognizing this transition, we maintained an open dialogue, ensuring they knew Abel Personnel would be there when they needed an alternative approach. That call came in May. The client's experience with job boards had become increasingly frustrating. While the volume of applications was high, the quality wasn't there. They faced common challenges: Candidates who didn’t match position requirements, often mass applying to dozens of positions Countless hours spent filtering through unsuitable applications Misleading resumes that didn't align with actual qualifications Time wasted scheduling interviews with candidates who ghosted No pre-screening process, leaving employers to verify credentials and experience New hires who failed to show up or lacked commitment after accepting offers Limited ability to assess cultural fit and soft skills through automated systems Abel Personnel's response was swift and targeted. For each position, our recruiters: Invested time to understand not just job requirements, but team dynamics, company culture, and long-term goals Delivered carefully curated shortlists of 2-5 qualified candidates Facilitated efficient hiring decisions The result?
