FAQ
Yes. Many jobs can be posted for free, subject to Indeed's terms, conditions, quality standards, and usage limits. Feature availability for Free job posts is limited and is subject to change at Indeed's discretion. It should be noted that some jobs are considered “sponsored only,” which will be made clear in the product. Some examples of job postings that may require sponsoring include: jobs aggregated directly from a career site or company website, published jobs from a data feed (e.g., XML, API), or published jobs from an Applicant Tracking System (ATS). Indeed reserves the right to require that a job must be sponsored for any reason.
The minimum price will appear on the product sponsorship page and will depend on several factors, including available job seekers in your market, similar job posts bidding for priority placement, the type of Sponsored Jobs plan you select, among others.
The Standard price is generated based on Indeed's recommendation system, which takes into account market factors such as job competitiveness, your hiring timeline and the supply of job seekers for specific job titles, among other factors.
The Premium price is set above the Standard price to help ensure more applications from quality candidates quickly compared to Standard Sponsored Jobs. This way, your Premium Sponsored Job is competitive against similar roles on Indeed.
No. You're free to set a different amount as long as it meets the minimum required for that job.
You'll be billed on the first day of the month or when your account spending reaches $500—whichever comes first. Your invoice will reflect the amount spent on job seeker interactions like clicks or started applications from the previous billing period.
You can make changes to the Sponsored Job budget from the employer dashboard by selecting “Manage Budget” from the job list.
Access to Matched Candidates through Premium Sponsored Jobs is limited to a specific job and can be accessed through your Candidates tab in the employer dashboard. Premium Sponsored Jobs also have a daily Matched Candidate contact limit. For access to additional contacts that can be used across all jobs, consider a Smart Sourcing subscription.
No. Premium Sponsored Jobs contacts will not be deducted from your Smart Sourcing contact credits.
