With Greenhouse Recruiting, you can share your job boards with Indeed for free. When Indeed is enabled for a job board, the live, public job posts on that board appear on Indeed.
Note: Starting December 9, 2026, Indeed will be configured at the job board level. When Indeed is enabled for a job board, all live, public job posts on that board are sent to Indeed. You can no longer choose individual jobs to include or exclude.
Greenhouse will automatically enable Indeed for any job board that has job posts currently sent to Indeed. If you currently post only some jobs to Indeed, review the job posts on those boards before December 9, 2026.
As of November 2025, all new clients will be reviewed by Indeed's Trust & Safety team. New clients will not automatically see their jobs on Indeed’s search results until reviewed by the Trust & Safety team. Upon review, the Trust & Safety team will determine the visibility level of those jobs. This may cause some delays to jobs going live.
Actionable Tips & Resources
- Proactive Review: We highly recommend you review your jobs with Indeed's Trust & Safety standards in mind. Following the guidelines increases the chance of passing their reviews.
- Need Assistance? If you have specific questions about potential fraudulent behavior or job visibility, please contact your dedicated Indeed Client Success representative directly. They can be reached through your employer dashboard or by calling 1-800-475-4361.
- Additional Resources:
Disclaimer: Jobs that do not meet Indeed standards may be subject to review and require additional information. Listings that prove misleading, compromise the job seeker experience or those which Indeed are not convinced represent a “real” job may be removed from search results altogether.
Set up the Indeed integration
Note: You need to be a Site Admin in order to set up the Indeed integration.
To enable free job posts on Indeed, open the relevant job board’s settings and turn on Indeed. This setting applies to all live, public job posts on that job board.
Enter a company email address for Indeed job feed company email. If your company has an Indeed account, use the company email address associated with your Indeed account. If you don't have an Indeed account, use any email address from your company email domain.
Note: To authenticate job posts and avoid spam, Indeed requires a company email address. This email address is used to validate your organization's job posts and is not used for any other purpose.
When finished, click Submit.
Share a job board with Indeed
Once Indeed is enabled for a job board, all live, public job posts on that board are sent to Indeed. To check whether a job board is shared with Indeed, click the Configure icon on your navigation bar, then click Job Board on the left. Click the job board to open its edit page, then open its settings.
You can still control where a job appears on Indeed by editing its job post. To open a job post, click Jobs on your navigation bar, select a job, then click Job Setup > Job Posts and click the Edit icon beside the job post.
First, ensure there's a location for your job post. Begin typing a location for Indeed to associate with the job and select the location from the dropdown. This location will appear on your job post. You can add one or more locations to a single job post.
Next, select your work type:
- In person
- Hybrid
- Remote
If you're posting a remote job, flexible job, or job with multiple locations, add Searchable locations. You can add up to seven Searchable locations per job post. These are separate from the main Location field used for your Greenhouse-hosted job post. When job seekers search by location on Indeed, your job post can be surfaced in the results. Searchable locations don’t appear on your job post.
Each Searchable location creates its own listing on Indeed. For example, if you add five Searchable locations, your job appears as five listings on Indeed.
Notes:
- For remote roles, searchable locations can be added at the city or country level. Country-only locations are allowed only for remote roles. Statewide remote isn’t currently supported. To post a nationwide remote role, set Work type to Remote and add the country in Searchable locations.
- It can take up to 48 hours for new job posts or updates to appear on Indeed. 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.
- 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.
You don’t need to select Indeed on individual job posts. If Indeed is enabled for the job board, all live, public posts on that board are sent to Indeed.
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 salaries
If you post a job 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.
If pay transparency is enabled in Greenhouse and you've included a pay range for your post, your job's salary range will be added to your Indeed post. Learn more about pay transparency.
Alternatively, add a salary range to your Greenhouse job post description, and it will be included on your Indeed job post.
