Indeed.com - Revoluntionizing the Job Search


Indeed.com has become the premier choice for job seekers searching for a new job. Although the Indeed site officially launched in 2004 they have increased their service offerings over the last 10 years to be the primary source for job seekers and employers surpassing Monster and CareerBuilder and having more unique visits to the site annually than Monster and CareerBuilder combined.

Indeed is a job aggregator site that pulls job listings from all over the Internet giving job seekers a “one-stop shop” for viewing job postings. Rather than utilize the traditional job posting or advertisement philosophy Indeed does a web scrub to hundreds of job postings sites to one centralized search location utilizing a Google type model for searching allowing candidates to hone directly in on the type of job they are seeking.

Sites such as Google, YouTube, Yahoo and hundreds (if not thousands) all feed into Indeed.com when job seekers click on “job listings” on those sites. Last year Indeed implemented their resume database allowing job seekers to post their resume for employers to search and find. In one year Indeed has acquired 2.5 million active resumes.

Indeed has revolutionized the way job seekers search for jobs but also the way employers advertise for job openings. With one 30 days job posting/advertisement a potential of 60 million job seekers could view and apply for your job. Realistically (depending on the job scope) a job could yield 500-1000 views making Indeed the most efficient way to look for a job or new hire.
