Why use Indeed: 3 reasons employers post there
Simple search
The job search process can be incredibly overwhelming and tedious. With Indeed, a Google-like search engine for jobs, applicants find it easy to search. Applicants search by keywords, job titles, company name and by city, state or zip. And this is how it works for applicants around the world – no matter where they are, they search for what they want and where they want to do it.
Mobile friendly
In this market, more job seekers are using their mobile devices to search. Over 50% of Indeed’s traffic comes from mobile and their app has been downloaded over 46 million times globally. Employers who add Indeed Apply to their jobs make it easy for job seekers to apply through mobile.
Mobile job search is an essential part of the process since 59% of applicants believe they have a better chance of being considered if they apply as soon as the job posted. Applicants want the ability to search for jobs, save jobs, and receive alerts about job openings and Indeed’s mobile platform is built with this in mind.
Proven results
Research has shown that Indeed is the leading source of external hires. Job boards do the volume. In our 2025 Recruiting Metrics Report, job boards produced 61% of all applications and 42% of hires, more hires than any other single source.
With the tracking and analytics on CareerPlug, we see the majority of hires made by our clients come from Indeed as well:
We are proud that Indeed is our partner in making hiring easier!
