When you enable integration with Indeed, job requisitions that you post to your client career sites are also automatically sent to Indeed through an XML feed, every four hours. This allows candidates to find and apply to your jobs more easily using Indeed's streamlined Indeed Apply process.
Important: See Do Not Embed Questionnaires or Assessments when Using Indeed Apply.
Note: To conform to privacy regulations and standards, Recruiting separates questions related to compliance and demographics from standard screening questions when interacting with Indeed. Questions related to compliance might ask about Equal Employment Opportunity, official disability status, or official veteran status. Questions related to demographics might ask about ethnicity, gender, self-reported disability status, or self-reported veteran status. These types of questions are regulated in certain jurisdictions and are handled accordingly in the Indeed systems.
The following client properties (in Recruiting Setup > Client Properties) are used to configure the integration with Indeed:
|
Client Property |
Configuration |
|---|---|
| Indeed Integration |
Controls whether your job postings are sent to Indeed. Select either the Enable this feature or Disable this feature radio button to set the parameter to “True” or “False.” The default value is “True.” You must provide an active monitored email address, which is required by Indeed. If you don’t provide it, Indeed might hide your jobs. If you leave this field blank, the system sends a "no reply" address to Indeed, which won't be accepted. This email address isn’t provided to candidates or shown in job postings. Note: You can override this client property for individual client career sites using the Exclude job postings to Indeed checkbox in Recruiting Setup > Client Career Site Management. See Add Custom Client Career Sites. |
| Indeed Apply Enabled |
Controls whether the Indeed Apply button is displayed for your job postings on the Indeed website, so that candidates can apply using their Indeed profile. Select either the Enable this feature or Disable this feature radio button to set the parameter to “True” or “False”, respectively. The default value is “True”. |
| Company Name for Job Feeds |
Enter your company name as it will be displayed in the Indeed job postings. Note: You can override this client property to customize the company name for individual client career sites using the Job Feed Company Name field in Recruiting Setup > Client Career Site Management. See Add Custom Client Career Sites. |
When you configure Indeed, these client properties are set to “True” by default. When you create job postings, Dayforce posts the job posting information to Indeed and receives applications through Indeed. To disable this functionality so that your job postings aren't posted to Indeed, set these properties to “False”.
Do Not Embed Questionnaires or Assessments when Using Indeed Apply
The jobs posted on Indeed include Dayforce information that you configured, including any screening questions and answer configurations as configured in Recruiting Setup > Job Application Configuration in the Question Configuration tab.
However, Indeed's job posting guidelines do not allow job applications that embed questionnaires or assessments. For example, you can't include the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) survey as an embedded questionnaire in the job application and use Indeed Apply.
To ensure that your organization does not post jobs to Indeed that include embedded questionnaires in the application, you might decide to set the Indeed Apply Enabled client property to “False”. In this case, candidates who apply to one of your jobs on Indeed are redirected to your client career site, where you can include any questionnaires and assessments you require.
If you want to use Indeed Apply, you must avoid embedding questionnaires in your job application templates. Instead, you can send post-application questionnaires where candidates are asked to provide information after they have submitted their job application. See Configure Post-Application Questionnaires.
If you want to embed questionnaires for some job postings and use Indeed Apply for the other job postings, you can create a separate client career site. See Add Custom Client Career Sites. For the site that includes postings with embedded questionnaires, ensure that the Exclude job postings to Indeed checkbox is selected in Recruiting Setup > Client Career Site Management.
If you use assessments and want to use Indeed Apply, ensure that users do not choose the Embedded in Application assessment delivery method when they create job requisitions. Instead, they must select either Post-Application Email – Manual or Post-Application Email – Automatic in the Delivery Method list. Note that you can't change the delivery method for open job requisitions after candidates have applied to them.
Other Indeed Apply Limitations
The jobs posted on Indeed include Dayforce information that you configured. However, when candidates apply through Indeed Apply, Indeed doesn't enforce the visibility settings configured for specific fields in Recruiting Setup > Job Application Configuration in the Section Configuration tab. This means that, when using Indeed Apply, some fields in the job application might be left blank even if they were configured as Visible - Required in Dayforce.
If it's mandatory to capture all required information on your job application, set the Indeed Apply Enabled client property to “False”. This turns off the Indeed Apply option and redirects candidates to the job posting on your client career site where the required field settings are enforced.
Note: Indeed doesn't support the Work Hours Availability section of job applications. If this section is included in your configuration, it isn’t sent to Indeed or included on your postings there. As a rule, Indeed doesn't include general application job postings (that is, postings that don’t refer to a current job opening) in their website’s search results.
