Overview

Indeed Apply makes it easy for people to apply for jobs quickly on their computers or phones. They can use an Indeed Resume or upload their regular resume. If a job has special questions to answer, Indeed Apply shows those questions when you apply.

Every month, more than one million new resumes are added to Indeed. This means even more people can apply for jobs easily using their Indeed Resume, even from their smartphones or tablets.

When someone applies for your job, you will get their application through your recruiting tools.

When people search for jobs on Indeed, they can see which jobs let them use the easy Indeed Apply option. These jobs are clearly marked so job seekers know which ones they can apply to quickly.

If someone wants to apply for your job, they can do it right on your company’s career page or on Indeed. 

Candidates can apply using either of these methods: 

• By selecting the Indeed Apply button on the job posting on Indeed (the job must be posted on Indeed).
• By using the Indeed widget on your career page, which lets them apply through Indeed.

One big benefit of using Indeed Apply is that people can use the resume already saved to their Indeed account when applying. This helps people who do not have their resume with them at the moment.

Set up Indeed Apply

1. Go to People > Hiring > Applicant Tracking. The Active Jobs screen opens.
2. Select Admin, then Company Settings.
3. On the left, select Indeed Integration
4. Select ON.

Note: If you have questions, contact Recruiting Support. 

Applicant experience with Indeed Apply

Step 1. On Indeed, job ads display an Indeed Apply button:

• Applicants select the button and see their progress through your application.
• They stay on Indeed.com to apply for your job.

Step 2. On your Careers page, an Apply with Indeed button appears on each job description. Applicants select the button to begin applying through Indeed.

• Note: Internal Job Postings do not display the Apply with Indeed button.

Step 3. After selecting Apply with Indeed, a pop-up window displays asking applicants to enter their First Name, Last Name, and Email.

• Applicants can also sign in to their Indeed account, which gives them the ability to use their uploaded resume.

Step 4. After continuing, applicants must complete the full application as specified by your admin team.

• Notes:
  • Complete the same application questions when using Indeed Apply as if they had applied directly to Indeed.
  • The only difference is the application questions are presented in the popup window rather than on a separate web page.

Step 5. After completing the application and selecting the Apply button, a message from Indeed appears stating the application has been submitted.

• If applicants select the Continue button from here, they return to your company's Careers page and see the Thanks for Applying message.

Step 6. After completing an application via Indeed, applicants could receive up to 2 emails:

1. An email from Indeed confirming submission.
2. An email from your company based on the Thanks for Applying Email template.

Notes

• When uploading a resume, Indeed automatically parses out some information into the application. For example, if a phone number is detected in the resume, it automatically populates into fields named Phone.
• In some cases, the automatic parsing might not be appropriate. For example, if you ask for a reference's phone number, Indeed might automatically add the applicant's phone number from the resume to that field.
