Frequently Asked Questions

With our job search engine, job seekers get access to millions of jobs from all over the Web and employers reach relevant talent for every type of position. Unlike other sites that charge a fixed amount per job posting regardless of results, our pay-for-performance pricing model means you only pay when you get results. And you have complete flexibility – there are no contracts or long-term commitments.

Sponsored Jobs are the first jobs people see in Indeed search results. When someone searches for a job on Indeed, Sponsored Jobs are highlighted in search results and receive greater visibility than free job listings. Sponsored Jobs also receive up to 4.5X more clicks than free listings.

You can post a job directly on Indeed to sponsor it. After filling in your job description, enter how much you want to spend to make your job appear higher in the search results so that more relevant candidates will see it. You can change your budget or stop promoting your job any time.

You can also sponsor jobs from your career site or applicant tracking system. We’ll help you decide which jobs to promote and how to budget. Contact us to get started.

Unlike traditional forms of online advertising, Sponsored Jobs on Indeed use a pay-per-performance pricing model. This means you only pay when someone clicks on your job to view it. You decide how much you want to spend and our technology does the rest, delivering predictable results that meet your cost and budget targets.

The budget you set will determine how many people see your jobs and how you rank against other businesses in search results. Your ideal budget depends on how many jobs you have, the type of jobs, your location and industry. Not sure where to start? Contact us for a recommended budget.

We’ll help you prioritise the jobs you should sponsor by location, job title or industry.
