Employer accountability
Indeed

General company reviews (culture, pay, management), not specifically about application response behavior.

RecruiterLog

Ghost Index and Trust Score measure one specific thing: does this employer actually reply, and how fast.

Cost to candidates
Indeed

Free.

RecruiterLog

Free forever.

Keep using Indeed

The largest volume of listings in one place, plus general company reputation and salary research.

Knowing an employer's actual reply behavior before you spend time applying.

Frequently asked
Indeed already has company reviews, isn't that the same thing?

Not quite. Indeed's reviews cover overall culture, pay, and management, not whether a specific employer replies to applicants or how long that takes. Ghost Index and reply time are a narrower, more specific signal.

Can I use both?

Yes. Indeed's listing volume and general reviews are useful for finding roles and researching a company broadly; RecruiterLog adds the one thing neither Indeed nor most boards track: real application-level reply behavior.
