When Using Indeed Resume:

DO

  • Do personalize your message. Use the person’s name and introduce yourself and your company. If you’re using a message template, make sure to replace all placeholder fields with relevant details. 
  • Do explain why the job is a good fit. Be clear about the aspects of the candidate’s resume that make them a good fit for the job and show why it could be a smart career move.
  • Do present a single job that is relevant to the candidate you’re contacting.
  • Indeed Resume is a tool to help find qualified candidates for a particular job. No candidate should be served a list of available positions to sift through.
  • Do make sure to be transparent about compensation structure.
  • Commission opportunities should be identified as such in initial contacts with candidates.
  • Do give identifying information about your company. Be sure to include the name of your company and its location as well as your name and title. Use your company email address, if possible.
  • Do include job details in the body of your message. Your message should include the job’s location, title, requirements and compensation structure. If your message also includes a link, it should send candidates directly to the job information.
DON'T

  • Don’t be vague. Your message should include identifying details of your company, including its name, location and the nature of its business.
  • Don’t make candidates sift through your site to find job details. While general company information is helpful in an introduction, prioritize the details of the job. If the open position is listed on your company career site, provide a link directly to it. 
  • Don’t reach out to candidates about jobs that aren’t relevant to them. Your job should be a good fit for a candidate’s experience and career status. Offering entry level positions to seasoned professionals and other inappropriately matched jobs is a sure way to be disqualified from using Resume.
  • Don’t contact a candidate about anything other than a relevant, salaried job. General interest career fairs, training events and investment or multi-level marketing opportunities are not appropriate for contacts made through Indeed Resume.
  • Don't use Indeed as a tool to advertise or promote your website. Indeed Resume is not appropriate for soliciting services, generating more sign-ups on your website, or promoting non-internal positions from job boards. If you engage in these activities, your ability to contact candidates will be suspended.
  • Don’t use Indeed Resume to solicit money. There should be no cost to apply for any job about which you contact a candidate. If you engage in these activities, your Resume account will be suspended.

Common Questions Asked:

What is a contact?

A contact is a single use ability to initiate a conversation with a job seeker through Indeed Resume.


What are contact credits?

Contact credits are contacts that we grant back to the subscription. The contact credit expires 6 months after the original contact was granted. Contact credits are granted at the sole discretion of Indeed and Indeed reserves the right to change the contact credits system at any time.


How do I receive contact credits?

Contact credits are granted when a candidate responds to your message and if we’re able to track the response sent back from the candidate. Contact credits are granted at the sole discretion of Indeed and Indeed reserves the right to change the contact credits system at any time.


I’ve been assigned a subscription, how do I begin contacting candidates?

Once the subscription has been assigned to a user of a linked account that user can start contacting candidates. Only users with a non-expired subscription (i.e. active or expiring) assigned to them will be able to contact candidates.


What happens when I cancel my subscription?

You’ll be able to continue contacting candidates until your next billing date. If you have remaining contacts left in your subscription they will continue to remain available should you renew your subscription at a later date, or you can move them to an active subscription. Contacts will expire 6 months after they are granted. You will lose access to job seeker names and contact information without a non-expired subscription.


Can a subscription be shared among multiple recruiters?

Each subscription can only be assigned to one person at a time but you can freely move non-expired subscriptions between linked accounts.


How are contacts granted for annual subscriptions?

For annual subscriptions, contacts are granted to you on a monthly basis.


When do my monthly contacts expire?

Monthly contacts expire 6 months after being granted. Older contacts will be used first automatically. Contacts are only usable with a non-expired subscription.
