Post a JobThe Employer Dashboard is your home base for hiring on Indeed. It’s where you can do everything from managing your job posts to contacting candidates, all in one place. It also comes with useful hiring features such as analytics, job performance reporting, budget management, invite to apply, and interviews. You can access the Employer Dashboard as soon as you post your first job.
The Employer Dashboard empowers you to efficiently manage your jobs from posting to making the hire, all in one place, allowing you to put more time back into your business. As it’s a one-stop shop for all your hiring tasks on Indeed, it streamlines your ability to manage multiple job postings and candidates at once.
Within your Employer Dashboard, you can:
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Let’s dive in and explore the features you can take advantage of within your Employer Dashboard.
The Employer Dashboard allows you to view, manage, and edit all of your job postings in one place. Here’s how you can manage multiple job postings through your dashboard.
Custom tags for jobs serve as a powerful organisational tool that makes managing your jobs easier and faster on Indeed. Using multiple tags per job provides the ultimate flexibility in viewing and actioning different sets of jobs and gives you complete control over how tags and groups of jobs are organised across users.
Job tags are ideal for employers who have:
By attaching custom keywords to your jobs, you can filter specific groups of jobs, streamline your workflow and more easily facilitate bulk actions.
Here are some common tag use cases we recommend:
At some point, you may need to update an existing job post, whether your hiring needs have changed, the role has evolved or you want to optimise the posting to attract more qualified candidates.
You can edit job posts right from the Employer Dashboard by following these steps:
It’s natural that after posting your job on Indeed, over time, as your hiring needs change, you’ll need to pause, close or re-open a job. Pausing a job post temporarily removes it from Indeed’s search results. Closing your job removes it from search results and archives it for future reference.
To update the status of your job, select the status menu on the right-hand side of that job. To bulk edit the status of multiple jobs, check the boxes on the left-hand side of the jobs you’d like to update. From the Set status menu that appears on the upper right-hand side, select a status.
When you have multiple open positions, it can be a challenge to keep track of them all. Indeed makes this process easy. If you want to find a specific job you’re managing, you can filter by job title, location, tags, and much more.
To sort your jobs, use the Sort by list in the upper right of the page. You can sort your jobs by:
To get a detailed understanding of how your job postings are performing, you can generate performance reports from the Employer Dashboard through Indeed Analytics. This can help you identify your highest and lowest performing jobs and campaigns to see what’s working and what isn’t, which can be used to optimise existing jobs and campaigns.
With Indeed Analytics you can view useful reports such as:
A low-performing job could indicate that your job title or job description needs some fine-tuning. For example, if impressions are low for a particular job, it could mean that your job title or job description may not be matching job seeker search terms. In this case, using a more common job title or more relevant keywords to describe duties and responsibilities could help your job post appear in more of the right search results.
To access your performance reports:
Within your Employer Dashboard, you can filter applicants by criteria like location and qualifications. Candidates can also be sorted alphabetically by name or by the date they applied. These filters can help you create a shortlist of candidates whom you would like to learn more about through a phone screen or interview.
Within the Employer Dashboard, you can easily see which applicants meet your job requirements and begin a conversation. Your messages with candidates can be easily tracked through your dashboard – a convenient alternative to managing everything through your email inbox.
To message a promising candidate, click the candidate’s name to bring up their Candidate Detail Page. From there, you can send a message that will appear in their email inbox. You can also go to the Messages tab to see all the messages you have sent and received.
If you’ve invited colleagues to participate in the hiring process through linked accounts, they will also be able to access applicant information and send messages to candidates.
Not sure what to say when reaching out to candidates? Start with a short, clear message that explains why you are contacting them, what caught your eye in their background, and what next steps you are proposing, such as a brief call or virtual interview. Keep the tone warm and professional, personalise at least one detail so it does not feel generic, and end with a simple question or call to action that makes it easy for them to reply.
A common delay in the hiring process can arise from the need to include multiple stakeholders within the business (recruiters, hiring managers, leadership, etc.). With Indeed, you can make hiring a collaborative process, which is especially useful if your hiring process requires input and collaboration from multiple people.
You can add other people to the Employer Dashboard by setting access levels. This allows you to share notes about candidates, forward CVs and notify colleagues about candidate status, which can help ensure that all stakeholders are in agreement about how candidates are being evaluated and which candidates should move forward.
To invite members of your hiring team to view applicants and provide feedback, follow these steps:
Go to your Jobs tab and click the Actions button, then select Edit Jobs from the drop-down menu.
To pause, close or reopen a job, select the Status button on the right-hand side of the job card, then set the status you want.
To bulk set job statuses:
Click the job title to bring up the job details page.
You can also reach this page by clicking the Actions button and selecting View job details from the drop-down menu.
To create new tag(s) for a single job, click on the three dots to the right of the job you’d like to edit and click Create tag. Tags can have a maximum of 40 characters. Other account users will be able to see and search these tags as well.
To create new tag(s) for multiple jobs:
On the Manage your tags page, you can view:

You always have the option to change this later, and any updates you make to a specific job will overwrite your previous settings.

Go to the Candidates tab and search for the candidate in the search box at the top right of the Employer Dashboard. This searches Open and Paused Jobs by default.
If you closed the job, go to the Jobs tab and select Closed Jobs at the top left of the Employer Dashboard. Then select the right job title and search for the candidate you’re looking for.
Your Employer Dashboard brings every part of your hiring workflow into one place, so you can spend less time juggling tools and more time connecting with the right candidates. By managing job posts, budgets, and tags from a single view, monitoring performance through Indeed Analytics, and using filters and statuses to keep your pipeline organised, you can quickly see what is working and where you may need to adjust titles, descriptions, or spend.
When you pair these tools with built-in messaging, interviewing, and team collaboration features, your dashboard becomes a central hub that helps you move candidates from apply to hire more efficiently and confidently.
