Hesed VS Indeed

Stop Paying $27/Click for Caregivers Who Never Apply

Why Agencies Switch from Indeed

Three pain points that drive home care agencies to pay-per-lead.

The Pain

"Paying $15–30 per click… I funded a $500 budget and got 3 applicants who never responded."

The Solution

$10 per lead, flat rate. You only pay when a verified caregiver arrives in your dashboard — name, phone, and email included.

The Pain

"Shared leads — my applicants were interviewing with 10 other agencies at the same time. I lost half of them before the first call."

The Solution

100% exclusive leads. Every lead is delivered to your agency only. We never resell or share the same person with a competitor.

The Pain

"Locked into monthly contracts… I spent $1,200 during slow months when I wasn't even actively hiring."

The Solution

Pause anytime, no contracts. Turn lead delivery on when you're hiring, off when you're not — with zero penalties.

The Math: Indeed vs Hesed

Same hiring outcome. Very different invoice.

Indeed

Clicks purchased 100 clicks
Average cost per click $22/click

More applicants, less money, and you only pay for what you actually receive.
