Indeed has been named one of Fast Company’s 2022 Brands That Matter, which recognizes companies that are “leading on social action, sustainability, inclusivity, and fun.”
The 2022 Brands That Matter awards program recognizes 144 companies that have demonstrated “a clear synthesis between how the brand presents itself and how its customers perceive it.” The award winners are segmented into categories and themes. Indeed is honored with 13 other brands that fit the theme of “Elevating the Everyday.”
Of Indeed’s award, Fast Company writes:
“More than a job board, Indeed has made itself into a complete platform to better serve both job seekers and employers. Over the past year, the brand has launched Interview Days: Restaurant Jobs with OpenTable, a U.S. hiring initiative aimed to accelerate the recovery of the food and beverage industry by providing free hiring tools to help businesses and restaurateurs source, screen and host interviews. The Indeed Hiring Events…allows employers to manage and accelerate the hiring process — from posting through interview — directly on Indeed, with no additional software, all aiming to enable faster, more efficient access to a diverse pool of job seekers looking for the perfect fit.”
“We are thrilled that Fast Company has recognized Indeed as a Brand That Matters for two years in a row,” says Jessica Jensen, Chief Marketing Officer at Indeed. “Our mission at Indeed is to help all people get jobs. It’s an honor to take on this mission every day and to innovate on behalf of job seekers and employers around the world.”
This is the second year Fast Company has awarded Brands That Matter. Indeed was honored in 2021 as well.
As an example of why Indeed was among the 2021 Brands That Matter, Fast Company cited Indeed’s 2021 Super Bowl ad, which “purposely put the focus on the people who use the job site — and their lives outside of work — rather than the jobs and work itself.” The magazine noted that Indeed’s Work Happiness Score was a key part of the 2021 United Nations World Happiness Report and another reason why Indeed was a brand that matters.
World’s Most Innovative Companies Award
Earlier this year, Indeed was named to the Fast Company 2022 list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies. The annual list showcases more than 500 organizations that are making “a meaningful impact — on their own organizations, their industries, and society at large.”
For this year’s Fast Company list, Indeed was recognized as one of ten companies in the workplace category that are “navigating (a year of great upheaval) with novel services.”
In this category, Fast Company editors and reporters “sought to identify the companies that were either providing the kind of tools that were designed to create a thriving, positive environment regardless of whether work was in person, hybrid, or fully remote, or that inherently understood the nature of this tumult and adapted its policies and approach to serve employees.”
Indeed earned recognition in the category by delivering “streamlined features to accelerate applying and interviewing for a job” in today’s challenging hiring environment.
Fast Company cited the launch of Indeed Hiring Events in March 2021 as an example of how Indeed “responded to the Great Resignation with a range of offerings targeting workers looking for greener pastures.”
Indeed Hiring Events is a comprehensive hiring solution that lets recruiters and hiring professionals manage the hiring process — from posting a job to interviewing candidates — directly on Indeed, with no additional software required. The platform helps employers get to the interview more quickly, making the process of hiring candidates simpler, faster — and more human.
To date, more than 5.7 million job seekers have scheduled interviews on Indeed, according to Indeed data. And more than 2.5 million job seekers have completed employer-screening questions and scheduled interviews on Indeed Hiring Events1.
