Indeed Apply (IA) is a feature that provides a quicker more streamlined application process for jobs on Indeed. Indeed Apply allows job seekers to apply easily to your job using an Indeed resume and with its mobile-optimized application process it provides a better experience. On average, jobs with Indeed Apply turned on receive 45% more apply starts per job.[1] Good news, if you posted your job on Indeed you automatically receive Indeed Apply.
If you use an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) or your job was aggregated from your Career Site you’ll need to go to your Jobs Page to add Indeed Apply. By enabling Indeed Apply you can easily access and review applications within your Indeed account.
Custom tags for jobs serve as a powerful organizational tool that makes managing your jobs easier and faster on Indeed. Using multiple tags per job provides the ultimate flexibility in viewing and actioning different sets of jobs and gives you complete control over how tags and groups of jobs are organized across users.
Job Tags are ideal for employers who have:
By attaching custom keywords to your jobs you can filter specific groups of jobs, streamline your workflow and more easily facilitate bulk actions.
Here are some common tag use cases we recommend:

At some point you may want to update or change an existing job post, whether it’s because your hiring needs have changed or you want to optimize it to reach more quality candidates. You can edit job posts right from the Employer Dashboard by following these steps:
It’s natural that after posting your job on Indeed, over time as your hiring needs change, you’ll need to pause, close or re-open a job. Pausing a job post temporarily removes it from Indeed’s search results. Closing your job removes it from search results and archives it for future reference.
To update the status of your job, select the status menu on the right-hand side of that job. To bulk edit the status of multiple jobs, check the boxes on the left-hand side of the jobs you’d like to update. From the Set status menu that appears on the upper right-hand side, select a status.
When you have multiple open positions, it can be a challenge to keep track of them all. Indeed makes this process easy. If you want to find a specific job you’re managing, you can filter by job title, location, tags, and much more.
To sort your jobs, use the Sort by list in the upper right of the page. You can sort your jobs by:
To get a detailed understanding of how your job postings are performing, you can generate performance reports from the Employer Dashboard through Indeed Analytics. This can help you identify your highest and lowest performing jobs and campaigns to see what’s working and what isn’t, which can be used to optimize existing jobs and campaigns. You can also measure the impact of your paid job posts by seeing Sponsored Job spend and performance information.
With Indeed Analytics you can view useful reports like:
A low performing job could indicate that your job title or job description needs some fine-tuning. For example, if impressions are low for a particular job, it could mean that your job title or job description may not be matching job seeker search terms. In this case, using a more common job title or more relevant keywords to describe duties and responsibilities could help your job post appear in more of the right search results.
To access your performance reports:
Sorting through applicants and managing candidates as they move through your hiring process can be challenging, especially if you’re using several spreadsheets, notes, emails, etc.
The Employer Dashboard streamlines this process, making it easier to manage the candidates who’ve applied for your jobs on Indeed. Here’s how you can take advantage of these features.
Jump to our FAQs about managing candidates on Indeed.
The Candidates tab in the Employer Dashboard can help you organize and manage your hiring pipeline. As applicants show up on your dashboard, you can mark whether you’re interested, unsure or not interested. Indeed also automatically assigns applicants in the Employer Dashboard a status as they move through your hiring process.
Candidates can have one of six statuses:
Within your Employer Dashboard you can filter applicants by criteria like location, qualifications, if they answered screener questions, candidate status and your recorded interest level. Candidates can also be sorted alphabetically by name or the date they applied.
These filters can help you create a shortlist of candidates who you’d like to learn more about through a phone screen or interview.
Within the Employer Dashboard you can easily see which applicants meet your job requirements and begin a conversation. Your messages with candidates can be easily tracked through your dashboard — a convenient alternative to managing everything through your email inbox.
To message a promising candidate, click the candidate’s name to bring up their Candidate Detail Page. From there, you can send a message that will appear in their email inbox. You can also go to the Messages tab to see all of the messages you’ve sent and received.
If you’ve invited colleagues to participate in the hiring process through linked accounts, they’ll also be able to access applicant information and send messages to candidates.
Not sure what to say when reaching out to candidates? Try one of these candidate recruitment email templates as a starting point. Indeed’s messaging placeholders and templates also make it quick and easy to personalize your messages.
You can use Indeed Interview to screen candidates quickly via phone or video call straight from the Employer Dashboard without downloading any software or apps. Go to the Interviews tab and invite the candidate you want to interview. Video conferencing is the default, but you can schedule a phone or in-person interview. Interview invitations will sync with most calendar applications, making it convenient to view upcoming interviews, especially if you are considering many candidates or hiring for multiple positions. After each interview, you can log notes in the candidate’s profile in the Employer Dashboard to reference later and update their applicant status.

Interview invitations sync with most calendar applications, which makes it easy to view upcoming interviews especially if you’re considering many candidates or hiring for more than one position. After each call or interview, you can also log notes in the candidate’s profile to refer back to later and edit their applicant status.

A common delay in the hiring process can come from the need to include multiple stakeholders within the business (recruiters, hiring managers, leadership, etc.). With Indeed, you can make hiring a collaborative process. This is especially useful if your hiring process requires input and collaboration from multiple people.
You can add other people to the Employer Dashboard by setting access levels, which allows you to share notes about candidates, forward resumes and notify colleagues about candidate status. This can help ensure that all stakeholders are in agreement about how candidates are being evaluated and which candidates should move forward.
To invite members of your hiring team to view applicants and provide feedback, follow these steps:
