When you hire collaboratively, you build a culture of feedback, transparency and unity with your hiring team. People on your team will know that they have a voice and are an important part of the vision you’re all working toward.
More than that, getting feedback from your colleagues can decrease your stress, improve the candidate experience, educate hiring managers on the candidate market and even cut down on time-to-hire.
Here’s how you can screen candidate applications on Indeed in a collaborative way.
With Indeed, setting up a collaborative hiring is easy. When you provide access to your dashboard via Communications Settings, you can share Notes with one another. Basically, you’ve got a one stop shop where you can all weigh in on candidates’ qualifications.
To invite your colleagues to view applicants:
Click on the profile icon in the top right hand corner of your Employer Dashboard
Choose Communications Settings from the dropdown menu
When prompted, provide your colleague/collaborator’s email address(es)
Set their access level
Here’s what you’ll see when you pull up the Communications Settings for the purpose of adding colleagues.The permissions screen allows you to choose the access level that’s right for you.
An overview of access levels on Indeed

Take and share candidate notes
Candidate Notes provides an easy and quick way to compare feedback on a candidate’s resume, skills and interview performance.
Jot down your first impressions of a candidate’s resume and/or cover letter and take notes during phone screens and interviews to refer back to later. If you’re using an interview scoring rubric, you can use your interview notes to help you assign a score to candidates to help make your hiring process more objective.
During interviews, consider taking notes on a candidate’s demeanor, any interview answers that stand out to you and whether they meet your must-have and/or nice-to-have qualifications.
You can conduct your interviews virtually on Indeed. One of Indeed Interview’s valuable features is the note-taking function. During an interview, you can take notes on the candidate’s responses and refer back to them later when making a hiring decision. This helps ensure that all the relevant information is captured and allows you to make an informed decision. Additionally, notes can be shared with other team members involved in the hiring process, making collaborating easier on a final decision.
The multiple interviewers feature is another valuable tool available with Indeed Interview. This feature allows employers to include up to 50 interviewers in the hiring process, providing a more comprehensive and well-rounded evaluation of the candidate. Each interviewer can ask questions and provide feedback, which can be used to make a more informed hiring decision. The multiple interviewers feature can also help ensure a diverse range of perspectives are considered, leading to a more inclusive hiring process.
