What is Indeed?
Indeed is a job search engine that allows employers to post jobs, and candidates to apply for them. It's one of the most popular job search engines out there, and it's used by millions of people each day.

How does Indeed work?
Employers can post jobs on Indeed for free, or they can pay to sponsor them. Candidates can apply for jobs by submitting their resume and cover letter through Indeed's system.

How much does it cost to post a job on Indeed?
It is free for employers to post jobs on Indeed, but free postings lose visibility as new jobs are added. Meanwhile, sponsored jobs remain prominently displayed in relevant search results for as long as they are sponsored. Most sponsored jobs are priced on a “pay for performance” model, which means you’ll only pay when interested job-seekers click on a sponsored job.

In 2022, Indeed added a “cost per application” pricing model that enables job posters to only pay for quality applications. In this pricing model, you do not pay for clicks or views of your job; only for applications submitted.

What you're actually charged for an application submitted depends on the market conditions for the job, including how many job seekers are available in a given geographic area and the number of similar jobs already available in that area.

If selecting a “cost per application” model for your jobs, be sure to utilize Indeed’s “deal-breaker” questions, which prevents you from being charged for unqualified applicants. With this pricing option, you can also request a replacement for an application if you reject it in the system within 72 hours of receiving it.
