About
Global #1 job site by traffic and job postings, dominant player in recruitment advertising with unmatched scale and reach
Indeed is the world's largest job search engine and recruitment advertising platform, operating in over 60 countries and available in more than 28 languages. Founded in 2004 and acquired by Japanese recruiting giant Recruit Holdings in 2012, Indeed connects over 350 million unique monthly visitors with job opportunities across virtually every industry and geography. Employers can post jobs for free or pay to sponsor listings on a pay-per-click or pay-per-apply basis, making it accessible to businesses of all sizes from SMBs to Fortune 500 enterprises. In the AdTech and recruitment marketing ecosystem, Indeed functions as a dominant programmatic job advertising marketplace. Its platform offers sophisticated employer tools including sponsored job campaigns, resume search, applicant tracking integrations, employer branding pages, and AI-powered candidate matching. Indeed's massive traffic volume and proprietary job seeker data give it unparalleled reach and targeting precision in the recruitment advertising space, enabling employers to optimize spend based on application quality and conversion metrics. Indeed has expanded beyond pure job search into a full-stack hiring platform with products like Indeed Hiring Platform, assessments, virtual interviews, and smart sourcing tools. As part of Recruit Holdings' HR Technology segment, Indeed contributes significantly to the parent company's global revenue. It competes directly with LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, Glassdoor (a sister company under Recruit Holdings), and Monster, maintaining its position as the highest-traffic employment site globally by a wide margin.
