FAQ
Is Indeed free to use for job seekers?
Yes, Indeed is completely free for job seekers. You can search millions of job listings, upload your resume, set up job alerts, and apply to roles at no cost.
What is Indeed Easy Apply and should I use it?
Easy Apply lets you submit your Indeed resume with one click, directly through the platform. It's faster than external applications, but offers less control over formatting. Use it for volume, but tailor your resume and consider direct outreach for priority roles.
How can I beat the Indeed algorithm and get noticed by employers?
Optimize your resume with keywords from job descriptions, complete your profile fully, apply within 24–48 hours of postings going live, and keep your resume updated regularly to signal you're an active candidate.
Why should I reach out to hiring managers directly instead of just applying on Indeed?
Direct outreach bypasses the ATS black hole and gets your application in front of decision-makers before it's buried in hundreds of submissions. Personalized emails dramatically increase response rates and interview invitations.
