Indeed works with over 3 million employers to find and fill job openings with qualified candidates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">This review will give you a good idea of all that Indeed offers. If you find that Indeed isn\u2019t a good fit for you, we recommend trying ZipRecruiter. ZipRecruiter is free for jobseekers and there is free for employers to get started.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>  <a href=\"https:\/\/ziprecruiter.fdcm73.net\/c\/2073174\/1140417\/10589\" class=\"sqs-block-button-element--medium sqs-button-element--primary sqs-block-button-element\" \n  ><br \/>\n    get started with ziprecruiter<br \/>\n  <\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Below is a comprehensive Indeed guide for employers. You\u2019ll learn about the online job board\u2019s free and paid hiring services so you can determine if Indeed is right for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Indeed Features for Employers<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.careercloud.com\/news\/indeed-review\" >Indeed<\/a> offers free and paid solutions for employers. Both types of services provide value, and the right one often depends on your budget and the types of features you need during your recruitment process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Post Jobs For Free<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Indeed is one of the few big job search sites that lets employers post jobs for free. What\u2019s even better is there\u2019s no limit to the number of free job postings you can create and post online. If your company doesn\u2019t have room in its budget for premium recruiting services, Indeed still lets you get the word out about open positions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">To create a free job post on Indeed:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Create a free Indeed employer account&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Click \u201cPost a Job\u201d and create your listing<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Set your preferences for how you want to receive applications<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Choose from any of the skill assessments listed for pre-screening if desired<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Choose whether you want to post for free or pay for a sponsored post<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"\">Keep in mind that Indeed also offers premium services that boost job postings. Your free job post will show up in general searches but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indeed.com\/hire\/post-job?co=US&amp;hl=en\" >falls further down the search results<\/a> as other companies post jobs or boost posts.<\/p>\n<h3>Boost Job Postings By Sponsoring<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Indeed also offers sponsored posts. The same process is used to create sponsored posts as free ones. After creating a job listing, you have the option to turn it into a sponsored post.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indeed.com\/hire\/post-job?co=US&amp;hl=en\" >According to Indeed,<\/a> sponsored posts are 3.5 times more likely to result in a hire. Sponsored jobs get more visibility on the site and aren\u2019t affected by how long ago they were posted. They stay towards the top of job searches to give you a better chance of being seen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Employers set a daily budget, starting at $5 a day. Pricing is performance-based. You only pay when a job seeker clicks on your sponsored job listing. Employers can change their daily budget or end a sponsored post at any time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Find The Perfect Candidate With Indeed Resume<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Another cool paid feature for employers is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indeed.com\/hire\/resume-search?co=US&amp;hl=en#choose-a-plan-copy\" >Indeed Resume<\/a>. With Indeed Resume, you can search the job site\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.careercloud.com\/news\/resume-search\" >resume database<\/a>. There are over 200 million resumes listed on Indeed, with seven million resumes added or updated every month.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Indeed Resume is offered as a monthly subscription in two options \u2014 Standard and Professional. With both subscriptions, employers get access to:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Unlimited resume searches<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Email reminders to unresponsive candidates<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">View candidate names on resumes<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Free credits when candidates respond<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"\">Standard subscriptions give you access to 30 contacts monthly but only let you contact one candidate at a time. Professional subscriptions come with 100 contacts a month and unlimited contact with candidates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Integrate Your Company\u2019s Applicant Tracking System With Indeed Apply<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">If you use an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.careercloud.com\/news\/applicant-tracking-software\" >applicant tracking system (ATS)<\/a>, you may be able to integrate it into your Indeed job listings. Indeed Apply simplifies the application process through ATS integration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Indeed claims that jobs get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indeed.com\/hire\/easy-to-apply\" >12% more clicks<\/a> with Indeed Apply. With integrated ATS, job candidates can apply for jobs directly on Indeed instead of having to click a link and being redirected to your company website\u2019s career page.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Indeed partners with several of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.careercloud.com\/news\/applicant-tracking-software\" >best applicant tracking software companies<\/a> for integration, including:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">BambooHR<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/breezyhr.grsm.io\/rejoin\" >Breezy<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Bullhorn<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">JazzHR&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Workable&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"\">ATS software helps companies and recruiters efficiently manage the recruiting and hiring process.<\/p>\n<h3>Quickly Evaluate Job Applicants With Indeed Assessments<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">When you create a job listing, you have the option to add pre-screening skill assessments. Indeed Assessments gives employers access to over 150 different skills tests developed by experts. Assessments are available for a variety of industries and job levels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">By testing applicants on their aptitude, cognitive abilities, and skill set during the application process, you can weed out individuals who don\u2019t fit your company\u2019s needs. Indeed gives you access to detailed analysis on each applicant so you can see how they stack up against each other.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Collaborate With Your Team on the Employer Dashboard<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Indeed\u2019s employer dashboard serves many functions, including a chance for you to include other people in the hiring process. Whether it\u2019s company management or members of your recruiting agency, Indeed lets you easily open up access to other people as needed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">There are times when you might need to include other people in the hiring process. This may be to evaluate talent, choose who to interview, communicate with applicants, and more. To add more people, head to the communication settings on your employer dashboard, enter your team members\u2019 names and email addresses, and set their access level. You can give them full access to your Indeed account or limit it to specific features. Indeed also lets you keep candidate notes to share and forward resumes for feedback from your team.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Communicate with Applicants on the Employer Dashboard<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Employers can also easily communicate with job applicants directly from their employer dashboard. You can send messages and schedule interviews through the employer dashboard. Having detailed records of your communication with applicants in one spot will help you stay organized through the hiring process.<\/p>\n<h3>Notify Applicants That They Are Not Moving On With Employer Assist<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Indeed makes it simple to communicate with applicants not moving on during the hiring process. Employers can set an automatic response of 7, 10, or 14 days. If you haven\u2019t taken action or shown interest in a candidate, Indeed automatically sends a message letting them know you aren\u2019t interested at this time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Employer Assist is especially helpful if you receive dozens or hundreds of applications for a single job posting. You and your team have more time to focus on qualified candidates instead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Schedule Interviews via Indeed Dashboard<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">As mentioned, you can schedule job interviews with candidates directly in Indeed from your employer dashboard. Employers can use the interview scheduling tool to:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Set up interviews<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Receive confirmations and responses from candidates<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">View upcoming interviews<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Update or edit interview details<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Cancel or reschedule interviews<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Provide post-interview feedback<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"\">There are three different interview options to choose from \u2014 in-person, phone, and video interviews. Indeed doesn\u2019t host the interviews, but you can add interview details and links from external platforms as needed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Get Recruiting Help through Indeed Hire&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Another paid service available through Indeed is Indeed Hire. It\u2019s geared towards employers who want extra help locating qualified candidates for open positions. Through the service, Indeed sends qualified candidates directly to your inbox. Indeed Hire relies on the latest technology to source and screen candidates to find ones that fit your specific needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Indeed works with the employer and candidates throughout the process to provide a pleasant and helpful experience for both parties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Become a Featured Employer&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Employers can\u2019t sign up to become a featured employer on Indeed. The job search site chooses qualified employers based primarily on how much you use and spend with Indeed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Featured employers have access to premium features like:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Branded ad impressions<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Hiring Insights<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Indeed Resume subscription<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Indeed Targeted Ads<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Another way to attract attention to your company and job openings is through targeted ads on Indeed. Employers can create targeted ads based on factors like location, industry, experience, and search terms. You only pay when a job seeker completes a job application through your ad.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Indeed Pricing<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">Employers can always post jobs for free, but not all of its services are free. Here\u2019s a look at some of the costs associated with premium services available through Indeed:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Sponsored Job Posts<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Daily budgets for sponsored job posts start at $5 and can go up to $499, depending on specific needs. Contact Indeed for exact pricing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Indeed Resume<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Below is pricing for the two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indeed.com\/hire\/resume-search?co=US&amp;hl=en#choose-a-plan-copy\" >Indeed Resume<\/a> monthly subscriptions.<\/p>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Standard Subscription: $100\/month<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"\">Professional Subscription: $250\/month<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"\">Paying annually (instead of monthly) can save employers up to 20% on Indeed Resume services.<\/p>\n<h3>Indeed Hire<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Indeed\u2019s recruiting service costs 10% of a candidate\u2019s starting salary once they are hired.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Indeed Featured Employer<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Contact Indeed for exact pricing.<\/p>\n<h3>Indeed Targeted Ads<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Contact Indeed for exact pricing.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<h3>How much does Indeed cost for employers?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Employers can post job listings online on Indeed for free. Indeed also offers several paid options, starting as low as $5 daily, including sponsored job posts, targeted ads, and recruiting services.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Do employers hire from Indeed?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Free job postings on Indeed redirect applicants to your company website\u2019s career page to apply for jobs unless you choose to integrate your applicant tracking system (ATS) with Indeed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Is Indeed for employers free?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Yes, employers can post jobs online for free with Indeed. Free job postings are budget-friendly but also drop down the job search results quickly. You\u2019ll need to sign up for Indeed\u2019s premium services to make your job listing more visible to job candidates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Which is better ZipRecruiter or Indeed?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Indeed is better if you\u2019re looking for a free way to post jobs online. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.careercloud.com\/news\/ziprecruiter-vs-indeed\" >ZipRecruiter and Indeed<\/a> offer paid job posting and hiring solutions, and the better option depends on your company\u2019s specific needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">Indeed offers several solutions for employers looking to hire new employees.
