Posting Jobs to Indeed

Updated June 01, 2026 19:50

Job orders created in Avionté can be posted to Indeed through a feed-based integration. Once the Indeed Marketplace Connection is configured, jobs can be sent to Indeed by simply selecting the Indeed checkbox during job posting.

Note: Indeed checks for new or updated jobs every 6 hours starting at midnight Central, but the exact time a job will be posted or updated is not guaranteed. Avionté updates its feed every hour. A job posted or updated prior to midnight in the Central time zone should appear in Indeed by 6am Central.

Key Takeaways

Avionté users can seamlessly post job orders to Indeed without entering Indeed credentials. The integration is feed-based, with the XML feed being scraped by Indeed four times daily. However, Avionté only regenerates that feed twice daily, so you may only see one to two updates per day, depending on when jobs are posted.
Talent Questionnaires can be included with Indeed job postings to collect screener information from applicants directly on Indeed's platform.
Enabling "Indeed Apply" on Indeed's platform can significantly improve apply rates for jobs posted through Avionté by optimizing job postings for mobile applicants.
Three requirements must be met: the Indeed job board must be selected during posting, your organization must have an Indeed subscription, and the Indeed Marketplace Connection must be configured.

Setup Requirements

For jobs to be posted to Indeed, three requirements must be met:

The Indeed job board is selected from the job posting step.
Your organization has a subscription to Indeed. Without a subscription, jobs will not be posted.
The Indeed Marketplace Connection must be configured - Indeed Marketplace Job Posting Configuration

Configuring the Integration

During the job posting process, select the External Job Boards checkbox. This reveals a combination of feed-based job boards, as well as subscription-based job boards, depending on your organization's subscription package. To include the job posting to the Indeed feed, select the checkbox next to Indeed.

Posting jobs to Indeed is feed-based, meaning once the checkbox is selected, that posting will be published and Indeed will receive the data.

Once Indeed receives the XML file, they will identify clients with a subscription from the Social Name. The Social Name can be configured from the Careers Page Editor.

If you notice jobs are not being posted to Indeed, contact your Indeed representative so they can confirm the Social Name is correct.

Posting to Multiple Indeed Accounts

Organizations that operate multiple branches or brands with separate Indeed accounts can post jobs to each account using multiple Avionté careers pages. This is supported through the Social Name mapping in the Careers Page Editor.

Indeed uses the Social Name from each careers page as the primary key to match the XML feed to the correct Indeed account. If you configure two careers pages with two distinct Social Names, jobs posted from each careers page will route to the Indeed account associated with that Social Name, provided each Social Name is linked to a valid Indeed subscription.

Note: The Indeed Marketplace tile in Avionté currently supports one email address.

To set up posting to multiple Indeed accounts:

Create a separate careers page for each branch or brand in the Careers Page Editor.
Assign each careers page a unique Social Name that matches the Social Name on file with the corresponding Indeed account.
Contact your Indeed representative to confirm each Social Name is correctly associated with the intended Indeed account and that Indeed's feed URL is on file.
When posting a job, select the careers page for the branch or brand you want the posting to appear under. Indeed will route the job to the account associated with that page's Social Name.

Adding Talent Questionnaires (Optional)

To include Talent Questionnaires with your Indeed job posting, select a Talent Questionnaire from the Talent Questionnaire dropdown during the job posting process. This allows you to collect screener question responses from applicants directly on Indeed's platform.

Best Practice: Keep questionnaires concise. Indeed data shows that applications drop off significantly when more than 20 questions are included. Ensure questions are general, well-formatted, and relate directly to the job (work experience, skills, certifications).

Candidate Experience

Standard Application

When a candidate goes to apply for one of your positions, they will see the Apply with Indeed button:

Once that option is selected, they will enter their Indeed profile information and will then be submitted to the position.

Application with Talent Questionnaire

When a Talent Questionnaire is included, candidates will see the Apply with Indeed button on the job posting:

Once selected, candidates will enter their contact information, upload their resume (if applicable), and complete the Talent Questionnaire before submission.

Optimizing Your Indeed Integration

Understanding Indeed Apply Features

There are two different "Indeed Apply" features that work together but serve different purposes:

Apply with Indeed - The button candidates see on job postings that allows them to apply using their Indeed profile
Enable Indeed Apply - A setting on Indeed's platform that optimizes your job postings for mobile applicants and can significantly improve application rates

How do I enable Indeed Apply on Indeed's platform?

Contact your Indeed representative or Indeed support to enable Indeed Apply on the Indeed platform. Avionté users have noticed significantly better apply rates from jobs posted to Indeed when this feature is enabled. Avionté cannot enable this for you—it is a setting managed directly on Indeed's platform and may not be enabled by default.

What does the "Allow Web Applicants to Apply Through Indeed" toggle in Bold do?

The toggle for "Allow Web Applicants to Apply Through Indeed" under the Job Posting Status and Options widget does NOT impact how jobs posted to Indeed function. This toggle only affects jobs posted to your Bold Careers Page—it allows applicants to use Indeed Quick Apply when applying through your careers page, providing a faster application experience. While this may improve apply rates for talent applying from your Bold career page, it has no impact on the performance of jobs posted to Indeed.

To maximize application rates from Indeed, you must work with Indeed to enable Indeed Apply on their platform.

Troubleshooting

Jobs are not appearing on Indeed

If your jobs are not posting to Indeed, verify the following:

The Indeed checkbox is selected during job posting
Your organization has an active Indeed subscription
The Social Name in your Careers Page Editor matches the name Indeed has on file for your subscription
The Indeed Marketplace Connection is properly configured

Contact your Indeed representative to confirm your Social Name is correct in their system.

How long does it take for jobs to appear on Indeed?

Indeed scrapes the XML feed four times daily starting at midnight Central. However, Avionté only regenerates the feed twice daily, so you may see one to two updates per day depending on when jobs are posted. A job posted or updated prior to midnight Central should appear on Indeed by 6am Central.
