With Greenhouse Recruiting, you can create free job posts on Indeed with your live external job posts.
Note: Beginning April 1, 2023, Indeed will not allow job post questions that seek personally identifiable information (PII) like full birthdates, driver's license numbers, or social security numbers from applicants. If your job post includes a custom question requesting PII, the job post will be removed from Indeed, and your Indeed account may experience restricted functionality. Reach out to your Indeed representative for more information.
Enable a free job post on Indeed
To enable a free job post on Indeed, click Jobs on your navigation bar, then select a job from the list.
Click Job Setup on the left.
Click Job Posts, then add a new job post or click the Edit icon beside the job post you wish to edit.
Publish to free job boards section.
Place a checkbox next to Indeed.
Type a location for Indeed to use to associate with the job and select the location from the dropdown.
With Indeed, you can post the job as remote and available to a specific location, or remote nationwide and available to a specific country.
Place a checkbox next to Remote.
Example: If Omniva Corporation posts a remote job post to Denver, Colorado, United States, then only people in Denver searching for remote job posts will see the post.
To post the job as remote across an entire country, select Enable nationwide remote location for compatible job boards. You'll still need to select a location so the post can be associated with a country.
Note: Indeed nationwide remote job posts are only available in the United States, New Zealand, Canada, and Australia.
When finished, click Save.
Once the job post is live, the job's information is sent to Indeed. To learn about how Indeed promotes job posts, click here.
Candidate source for Indeed job posts
When a candidate applies using a free job post on Indeed, by default their source is listed as Responded to an ad on Indeed.
Indeed salary estimates
When you're posting jobs to Indeed and don't include salary information, Indeed will automatically include an estimated salary. For more information about this feature, contact Indeed's customer support.
Refresh a free job post on Indeed
Websites like Indeed can be a great resource for new candidates when your job posts are first posted online, but over time, your posts can become stale and lose visibility to newer posts.
Because Indeed offers sponsored posts for better positioning on their site, it isn't possible to repost a job ad in Greenhouse Recruiting to generate a new ad on Indeed. Taking the post down and then reactivating it, or closing and reopening the job will simply re-post the stale job instead of creating a new one.
Job boards like Indeed also have filters that check for similar job titles and descriptions to hide duplicates, so creating a new job in order to generate a new ad is likely to fail.
