How do I post my jobs on Indeed using CVMinder ATS?

If you have elected to publish your jobs to Indeed, CVMinder ATS sends them to Indeed periodically during the day. It sends your jobs in an XML feed, as specified by Indeed.

Jobs sent to Indeed in CVMinder ATS’s XML feed are enabled with Indeed Apply by default. That means your applicants can use their Indeed Resumes to easily apply for your jobs. They can also give you more information and answer specific questions without leaving the Indeed platform. You just set those up in CVMinder. If you are unsure how to do that, then just ask your CVMinder Account Manager who will be happy to help.

How do candidates apply for my jobs on Indeed?

CVMinder ATS supports two application methods for Indeed applicants:

1. Indeed Apply: Your candidates will complete all or some of their application on Indeed. To achieve this, CVMinder delivers either all or just part of your application form to Indeed. CVMinder then receives all of the information requested to create the initial application which will be available for your review. CVMinder also opens a CVMinder account for the applicant if they don’t already have one.
   
2. Application Redirect: When applying for your vacancy, the jobseeker will be redirected to your CVMinder AdLink. An AdLink is a shortened URL that is unique for each advert. There they will find a branded copy of your advert and your electronic application form. 

How do I discover which applicants are from Indeed?

You can learn which candidates have arrived from Indeed in several ways:

• Go to Reports and select Application Analytics. Choose the Applicant Sources report.
• Go to the Info tab on any advert. Access its Source tab to see the source of all applicants for that advert.
• In an application, go to the Overview tab to discover the source of that specific application.

CVMinder differentiates ‘Indeed Apply’ applicants from those who have been redirected to your AdLinks. You can identify the following sources:

• “Indeed Apply” – applicants arriving via this application method.
• “Job Board: Indeed” – applicants arriving via AdLink redirect.

What can I do if I don’t see my jobs on Indeed?

If it has been more than 24 hours since you created a job in the CVMinder ATS platform and you do not see your job listing on Indeed, contact CVMinder ATS customer support and they will help you troubleshoot why your job may not be appearing. Should they not be able to help you, you should log into your Indeed account and request help. If you don’t have an Indeed account, you should request help via the form on www.indeed.co.uk/hire/contact and say:

“I am a new client of CVMinder ATS, an Integrated ATS with Indeed, and my jobs are included in their comprehensive XML feed. I need a CS rep to review my jobs to determine if they are suitable for organic visibility per Indeed’s Quality Standards.“

How can I attract more candidates to my job listing on Indeed?

Without Indeed Apply: Sponsor your jobs on Indeed to attract more candidates. Free postings lose visibility over time, but you can sponsor a job by logging into Indeed and creating a campaign to make sure your listing gets noticed by more relevant talent. Sponsored Jobs get up to 5X more clicks¹, and you only pay when people click on your jobs.

With Indeed Apply:  With the partnership between CVMinder ATS and Indeed, you automatically reap the benefits of Indeed Apply, Indeed’s easy, mobile-optimised application process [but you need to opt-in with CVMinder]. Jobseekers see an “Apply Now” button and can easily use their Indeed resume to complete their applications from any device, including mobile devices. Indeed Apply also supports screening questions and can be configured for most custom application processes, ensuring you have the information you need to make the best hiring decisions. Indeed apply jobs get up to 8X more applicants than non-Indeed Apply jobs¹, so you’ll see more applicants flowing into your pipeline as a result of the partnership between Indeed and CVMinder ATS.

How do Sponsored Jobs work?

Since thousands of jobs are added to Indeed each day, free job postings lose visibility over time. Relevant Sponsored Jobs stay visible for as long as you run the campaign. When you need to hire quickly, open hard-to-fill roles, or attract talent in a competitive field, you can promote those roles on Indeed straight from CVMinder ATS. Jobseekers conduct a search for jobs on Indeed, entering keywords relevant to their experience and background. Indeed then matches the job description and location to those keywords, and the job appears in search results.

How do I sponsor a job?

You can set up one or more advertising budgets with your Indeed CS representative. You can also agree tags (we call them #hashtags). When Indeed identifies an agreed tag in your advert it can automatically allocate that advert to one of your advertising budgets.

CVMinder ATS support tags. Your CVMinder Account Manager can hep you set those up. Once they are available, you can control who can add your agreed #hashtags to your adverts. You can also quickly identify which adverts are tagged.

CVMinder ATS clients who want to sponsor jobs or learn more about how / when to sponsor a job on Indeed can complete this contact form. Indeed’s sales team closely monitors these form submissions, and an Indeed representative will reach out to you to help.
