209.works vs Indeed
We're not trying to beat Indeed everywhere. Just in the 209.
| Indeed | 209.works | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | $500+/month | $99 (30 days) |
| Subscription | Required | None |
| Applicant quality | 50 apply, 2 qualified | AI pre-sorts top matches |
| Local targeting | State-wide | Area code (209) |
| Setup time | 30+ minutes | 5 minutes |
| Customer support | Email form | Real person |
| Give a shit about the 209? | No | Yes |
When to use Indeed:
- •You're hiring 10+ people per month
- •You have an HR department
- •You need an enterprise ATS
- •Budget isn't a concern
When to use 209.works:
- You're a small business (1-50 employees)
- You need local candidates
- $500/month is absurd
- You want applicants who actually show up
Try us. If we suck, you're only out $99.
If Indeed sucks, you're out $500. Every. Single. Month.
What Employers in the 209 Say
"I hired 2 line cooks through 209.works. Both still here 6 months later. Way better than Indeed."
"$99 vs $500/month? No brainer. Plus the AI screening actually works."
