Better Hiring with Indeed

A Sponsored Job is a paid job posting. When a job seeker searches for a job on Indeed, Sponsored Jobs get better visibility and appear for longer than non-sponsored jobs. Plus, we’ve found that sponsoring has a significant impact on hiring. Sponsored Jobs are 2.0x faster to first hire than non-sponsored jobs^{Indeed data, based on median (US)}.

If you need to hire quickly or you’re hiring a hard-to-fill position, sponsoring your job can make a huge difference.

Here are a few things to consider when deciding if you should sponsor your job:

• If you need to make a hire urgently, sponsoring can help you get more quality applicants in less time.
• If the hiring market is competitive for the role you’re hiring, sponsoring your job can attract more candidates.
• If you’re hiring in a location with smaller pools of talent (e.g., small town), sponsoring your job can give it a boost so that it’s seen by more people.

You can post a job directly on Indeed to sponsor it. After adding your job description and other job details, Indeed shows you the cost per application* for your specific job title and location. You can reject applications that don’t meet your qualifications.^{not available to all users}

You can also sponsor jobs from your career site or applicant tracking system. We’ll help you decide which jobs to promote and how to budget. Post your job to get started.

You can sponsor your job at any time from your Employer Dashboard. Just click Sponsor Job on the right-hand side of the job you want to sponsor.
