Understanding Job Details and Profile Insights

Job details and profile insights help job seekers understand if your role is a good match. They appear in search results and on your job post as tags. Tags highlighted in green show a strong match to the job seeker's experience or preferences. Adding job details and insights can help increase engagement and applications.

Purpose

Job details give job seekers the information they need to decide if they should click on your job and apply. Profile insights show job seekers whether they're a good fit for the role. Describe what the role offers and what it requires to better match with candidates. Job details and insights also help Indeed show your job to job seekers whose profiles fit your needs.

Adding job details and profile insights

How to add details and insights to your job

Indeed extracts details and insights from your job description. Make sure your job includes relevant tags by:

  • Writing a good job description when creating your job
  • Editing your job to add more details if needed

Did you know? If you're using an ATS or your own career site, you can add details directly to the job description. We'll extract and display them on Indeed.

Best practices

Be specific.

Clear and detailed job descriptions are more accurately extracted.

Keep formatting simple.

Avoid extra symbols, spaces, or long-form numbers.

Describe what is offered.

Phrasing details as "not offered" may reduce extraction accuracy.
