Frequently asked questions about finding workers

Can I view resumes on Indeed?

Yes, you can search our resume database and see a preview of candidates’ resumes. However, you’ll need an Indeed account and an active Indeed Smart Sourcing subscription to view full resumes and contact candidates.

How do I find the right employee?

Finding the right employees starts with targeting the right candidates. Imagine your ideal employee and write a job description that outlines their skills, work experience and qualifications. Split your list of requirements into must-haves vs. nice-to-haves to encourage a more diverse set of candidates to apply.

Additionally, consider sponsoring your job to unlock matched candidates.

How can I find employees offline?

While more people might see your online job post, posting help wanted ads offline can also be effective. You can post help wanted ads in local newspapers, on college campuses or in your business’s window to attract candidates to your open role(s).

Consider cross-posting your job on Indeed and in print if it makes sense for your business.

What are some tips to attract quality candidates?

To attract quality candidates, make sure your job postings are clear, detailed and highlight the benefits of working at your company. Use a compelling job ad that outlines key responsibilities, required skills and opportunities for growth. Consider promoting your job on multiple platforms to reach a wider pool of applicants. Engaging with candidates quickly and providing a smooth hiring process can help you stand out to top talent.

How can I verify the qualifications of potential employees?

To verify the qualifications of potential employees, you can request references from previous employers, conduct background checks and confirm certifications or licenses relevant to the job. You can also use skills assessments or practical tests during the hiring process to help ensure candidates have the abilities they claim. Verifying qualifications helps you recruit quality candidates who are the right fit for your business.

What is the best way to find employees quickly?

To find employees quickly, leverage our Smart Sourcing feature to access an extensive resume database. This allows you to search for candidates who match your specific job requirements and contact them directly. Combining this approach with well-crafted job postings can help you hire faster while still attracting a diverse pool of qualified candidates.

How can I compete with other businesses to attract top talent?

Competing for top talent means understanding what candidates value most and tailoring your offerings accordingly. This might include offering professional development opportunities or fostering a positive workplace culture. Highlighting your company’s unique story and the impact employees can make helps you stand out from the competition. By actively connecting with candidates and showing why your company is a great place to work, you increase your chances of attracting top talent.
