About Indeed Employer Single Sign-On (SSO)

Single Sign-On (SSO) lets your employees sign in to Indeed using their work login. This means they don't need a separate username, password, or extra security steps. SSO helps protect your account and makes it easier for employees to access Indeed.

Purpose

SSO helps you manage account access in a simple and secure way. Employees use their company login to sign in to Indeed. This can bypass two-factor authentication (2FA) and government ID checks. SSO helps reduce login problems and improve security. It can also remove access for former employees automatically.

Benefits

  • Better security: Employees use trusted work credentials.
  • Easy access: No extra usernames or passwords to remember.
  • Less work for admins: It's simple to add and manage users, especially when many employees join or leave.
  • Simplify access control: Get employees the right permissions in a few steps.

Getting started

Step 1: Contact Indeed support

You can contact us by chat, phone, or message.

Step 2: Eligibility check

We'll confirm if SSO is available and a good fit for your company.

Step 3: Pre-implementation meeting (30 minutes)

We review technical details, plan next steps, and schedule the implementation.

Step 4: Implementation meeting (30-60 minutes)

We complete the setup and prepare for launch. Some employers may use a self-paced setup instead.

Your HR or Talent Acquisition (TA) admin and your IT admin must join the setup process.

More information for IT teams

How SSO works 

We support SP-initiated SSO by default. IdP-initiated SSO is also available if needed.

Supported protocols 

SAML and OIDC (SCIM is not supported.)

Testing before launch 

We can test SSO with a small group of users before going live.

Domain Enforcement for SSO Users

Domain Enforcement adds security by limiting access to approved company email addresses. Users must have an approved email domain (like @yourcompany.com, or approvedagency.com) in order to access your employer organization on Indeed.

How to turn on and edit Domain Enforcement

Follow these steps to enable Domain Enforcement:

  1. Go to your Employer Settings

  2. Select Edit and add any additional approved domains that you want to allow. 

  3. Select Next: set up policies and toggle on domain enforcement for the domains listed.

  4. Then select Done.
