Every so often a dream job comes along; one that, like me, you might have been dreaming about as a kid. What if someone paid me to watch my favorite sport?

At Indeed, we know that behind every candidate is a person with a lifelong passion just waiting for the right door to open. That’s why we’re excited to announce a first-of-its kind partnership with FOX Sports and FOX One to hire a “Chief World Cup Watcher Hired Through Indeed.”  

This isn’t just about finding a sports fan; FOX Sports is looking for a seasoned creator capable of navigating the world’s greatest sporting event with social agility, journalistic integrity, and on-camera charisma. From the first kickoff to the final trophy lift, this person will be the voice of fans throughout the tournament, reporting live from a custom public viewing studio in New York’s Times Square.

For FOX Sports and FOX One, finding a specialized candidate in a sea of millions is a massive task, so they are leveraging Indeed’s sophisticated job matching technology to find the best person for this high-profile role. Those interested just need to update or create an Indeed profile to be sourced directly by the Fox Sports recruiting team and invited to apply.  

The Indeed profile is the ultimate connector. It transforms a static identity into an active signal for employers, ensuring the right jobs find the right job seekers.  

The impact of a complete profile is clear. Data shows that job seekers with detailed, up-to-date profiles are:

  • 2.8X more likely to show up in employer searches.
  • 3.8X more likely to be surfaced to employers looking for talent. 
  • 90% more likely to move forward in the hiring process after applying.Indeed data (US) Job seeker accounts set to public

Then, by using our Smart Sourcing platform, FOX Sports can automatically surface the profiles that best match their hiring criteria directly, so they can easily and quickly decide on who to move forward with. Sourcing Assistant, a brand new feature of Smart Sourcing, acts as an extension of the recruiting team, building a pipeline of high-quality candidates and delivering completed applications directly into the workflow. In fact, in initial testing candidates engaged through Sourcing Assistant are hired 31% faster than from other sources.

Whether you are a media giant like FOX or a small business, our goal is the same: connecting people to jobs based on experiences, skills and preferences.
