CareerPlug is an applicant tracking system (ATS) and Indeed is a job matching and hiring platform. When job postings are created in CareerPlug, they are sent to Indeed via an XML feed. CareerPlug sends an XML feed twice per day to Indeed, which includes all active jobs in our system.
Due to the volume of job postings submitted to Indeed, new jobs may take up to 24 business hours to appear in their organic job feed. If it’s taking longer for your job to show up, it could be a result of Indeed performing a thorough quality review to protect the applicant experience.
With a CareerPlug Pro subscription, you are able to post unlimited jobs, and your jobs are sent to many major job boards (including Indeed) for inclusion in their organic feeds — as long as they pass the quality review for each respective job board.
The majority of our clients receive a high volume of applicants via CareerPlug's automated job syndication to job boards' organic feeds, but if you're facing an urgent hiring need, sponsoring a job is a solution to consider.
Please note that if you wish to sponsor a job with Indeed — meaning that you want to pay for optimized placement of your posting so that more jobseekers see it — that comes at an additional cost (collected by Indeed).
CareerPlug includes an integration that makes it easy for clients to directly sponsor their CareerPlug job postings on Indeed. An alternative option is to contact an Indeed sales representative after posting a job within CareerPlug and work directly with the Indeed rep to set a budget for sponsoring selected jobs coming from CareePlug. When you sponsor a CareerPlug job posting on Indeed, you will still modify your job posting and review your applicants from CareerPlug.
