Millions of job seekers rely on Indeed’s job search engine to find the most relevant jobs for themselves. Sponsoring a job is not only affordable but also an effective way to get the visibility you need for your job posting among thousands of jobs that exist on Indeed.
WHAT ARE SPONSORED JOBS?
Sponsored jobs are paid listings displayed prominently at the top and bottom of relevant search results. They do not drop over time in search rankings like the free listings.
With increased and continuous visibility over time, sponsored Jobs deliver more quality applicants as compared to free listings.
HOW DO SPONSORED JOBS WORK?
When posting a job, you will have the option to sponsor it after you provide job details, including title, description and location. To help you decide how much to spend, an estimator tool next to the budget field will give you an idea of how many applications you can expect. This estimate is based on the performance of jobs like yours and only appears if we have enough data to provide an estimate. A higher budget will generally attract more applications for your job.
Ideal daily spends depends on the kind of job that you are offering, including job location and how quickly the position needs to be filled.
- Do you have 60 days to hire or do you need someone next week?
- Does the job require common skills that many candidates would have or are you looking for particular qualifications and specialized skills?
Indeed gives you enough flexibility to tailor your spends to find the right candidates within your timeframe. Increase budgets if you want more applications or reduce budgets if you’re receiving too many.
To stop advertising or to modify budgets, click on the ‘edit job’ tab in the employer dashboard. You can choose to either change budgets, pause the job or close it altogether.
HOW TO CHECK THE PERFORMANCE OF A SPONSORED JOB?
Your sponsored jobs and their spends can be monitored by performance metrics on your dashboard. This report tracks views, clicks and applications that come in from listings. Accordingly, the data here can help you adjust your Sponsored Jobs budget to reach the best possible candidates.
