Indeed is one of the world’s largest hiring platforms—and as the Great Resignation has kicked in, it has focused on scrubbing bias out of the job-hunting process. In March, Indeed launched a virtual hiring platform that has helped more than 2.6 million people schedule interviews. Its screening tech offers all candidates who meet a recruiter’s criteria the option to remotely interview—helping sidestep potential biases based on name, race, or education. For job-seekers, Indeed’s Work Happiness Score grades companies based on survey data on issues like flexibility, compensation, and inclusion.

Employees say: 
&nbsp; 
 
"Before working at Indeed, I was employed by a company focused in social media. I was worried that though I was looking for a more meaningful job, I would have to sacrifice the perks of working in tech (think unlimited PTO, catered lunches, trendy office space, fun team outings). But Indeed proved me wrong, in the best ways. Not only is our mission simple and clear, but everyone is essentially working towards changing the world and bettering people's lives, one job at a time. Making a difference, along with all the same work perks (except better!), helpful colleagues, and the potential to grow in my career (we span so many industries), makes Indeed a great place to work." 
 
&nbsp; 
 
"Although the company is getting larger, Indeed is very good about distributing responsibility. All engineers are expected to understand their product and look for work that has maximum impact. Product managers enjoy hearing ideas from the engineers on their teams and discussing ways to improve the product. Indeed clearly invests in people for the long term. When I started, I spent three months doing rotations (spending one month with three different teams). During this time, I was given real work to accomplish on each team, learned the technology, and built relationships. It was clear that the company wanted to give me time and space to absorb the Indeed Way without lots of pressure."

LinkedIn to tell job seekers how likely they are to get a response

https://fortune.com/2025/02/02/linkedin-indeed-greenhouse-job-seekers-likely-response-interviews/?itm_source=parsely-api

The job search landscape has undergone a dramatic transformation, with online platforms like LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor reshaping a multibillion-dollar industry. As these giants adapt to new competitors and evolving expectations, they're turning to AI to revolutionize job seeking with "personal talent agents." But will the rapidly evolving tech be a good or bad thing for job seekers? 

Inside the $11 Billion Job Recruiting Business

Careers

The job search landscape has undergone a dramatic transformation, with online platforms like LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor reshaping a multibillion-dollar industry.

How we search for jobs has transformed drastically over the last two decades. Platforms like LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor are among the key players in online recruitment. These companies have reshaped their industry, carving out an $11 billion market projected to grow to $41 billion by 2032. And in a survey of 1000 job seekers, 40% of respondents credit job search engines to securing an interview. 35% say company websites are the way to go, and 34% say word of mouth networking is the best. way to nail down an interview. But today, the industry is more than just listing a job or networking to find one. The rise of AI and evolving expectations from both employers and employees are driving hiring companies to new levels of innovation. But just how are these companies adapting with new competitors coming to the market, and how will AI play a role in our future job searches? Indeed is one of the key players in an increasingly competitive market. It's owned by Recruit Holdings, a Japanese employment agency with a market capitalization of $75 billion. That's larger than some of Japan's biggest named companies like Honda Motor and Nintendo. Indeed flexes as the number one job site in the world with over 350 million unique visitors every month in 2023, and it intends to stay that way. Leading the effort is Chris Hyams, CEO of Indeed, who joined the company in 2010 as vice president of product. Hyams credits the company's job-first approach for building trust in its 20-year history. We exist only to help people get jobs and I believe the most important factor in influencing how a company makes decisions about their products and their services is how they make money. That's because Indeed gives employers the option to sponsor a job listing with prices starting at $5 a day or $150 a month. We only make money when we are helping an employer and a job. Or connect, which means that all of the data that we collect from job seekers is used only to help them better match for the best opportunities possible. They're going to find the opportunities they're looking for, and they won't be finding themselves reached out for irrelevant things or targeted for advertising. That's not why they came to the site in the first place. In deer is a hiring space with other sites like LinkedIn, which offers not only a constantly updating job board, but also a space to network with other career focused professionals. But Hiam says this comes with a cost. If you look at other businesses like LinkedIn, an amazing company, we have a huge amount of respect for them. A portion of the revenue comes from employment. They also make a huge amount of money from advertising and from sales and Other things. And so as a person who comes onto the site, are you being targeted just for employment opportunities or for a whole host of other things? But adding social media into the mix of hiring has been massively successful for LinkedIn. In the 2024 fiscal year, LinkedIn reported revenues exceeding $16.37 billion up from almost $15 billion in the previous year. The platform boasts over a billion members in 200 countries and regions and has also ranked 116th on America's most innovative companies by fortune. LinkedIn's revenue streams include a significant contribution from advertising, which generated $5.9 billion in 2022. Meanwhile, its premium membership surpassed $1.7 billion as of March 2024. Glassdoor, also acquired by Recruit Holdings, has built a reputation for services that encourage transparency in the job market. Christian Sutherland Wong, CEO of the job site, emphasizes that Glassdoor's platform allows people to hold employers accountable, particularly around pay transparency, a critical issue in today's labor market, and at the end of the day, it's. that's going to be the ultimate solve for a lot of pay inequity that we see in the US and around the world. The platform's option to be anonymous has made it a popular outlet for employees to be honest about their employers, and the anonymity has built trust and help prospective employees understand what really goes on behind the scenes at companies. As of 2024, Glassdoor reports. 63 million unique monthly visitors and hosts more than 212 million reviews, salary details, and workplace insights. The value of Glasso's platform is that we have trust with the people who use it, and so we put in a ton of processes and a ton of investment in making sure that people can trust the platform. Without that trust, we can't exist, so we take it really, really seriously. Despite their progress, these companies, like many others in various industries have also faced layoffs. In 2024, LinkedIn reportedly laid off about 200 employees from its engineering and customer support teams. In May, Indeed laid off around 1000 employees, representing about 8% of its workforce. Artificial intelligence has also become a focal point for job sites looking to utilize technology to improve efficiency. Rere Holding is investing heavily in AI. The company's leaders tout this as a new era in hiring that will provide users with a personal talent agent powered by generative AI. I see what AI can do is effectively take this kind of very white glove experience and make it available for the masses. An agents could be on your side to take you through your job seeking journey and make it a much smoother and more powerful experience for you as a job seeker. For Indeed, this approach to AI is also at the core of their strategy. If you think about how a talent agent works for athletes and for musicians, that is someone who understands everything about. You about the market and who works tirelessly on your behalf. This is one of the things that generative AI can actually bring. We have the first versions of this that we are going to be releasing in the coming months, and we see a real future where every single person will have a champion just for them that is helping and working tirelessly to connect them to the best opportunities. As the hiring landscape evolves, platforms like Indeed, LinkedIn and Glassdoor aim to connect people with opportunities in smarter and more efficient ways. AI is set to play a pivotal role in transforming job seeking, promising agent-like chatbots to improve the experience for users. But the question remains Will AI be a force that better connects humans to jobs, or will it diminish the number of humans needed in the workforce?

Leadership Next: Indeed CEO, Chris Hyams

Leadership

Starting in 2011, were still too small to hire a band for our holiday party, myself and three other employees put together a band. And we now, even though we can afford to hire outside bands, all of the entertainment at our holiday parties as our I'm gonna need to hear that that holiday album Welcome to Leadership next podcast about the changing rules of business leadership. I'm Alan Murray and I'm Ellen McGirt. So indeed mission is to help people get jobs. And as I like to to say every time I talk to the company, that's what gets us out of bed in the morning and what keeps us going all day. We're a marketplace, but we put job seekers first. The only connections that we allow on the site and we police very aggressively is someone who is looking to hire someone for an open position right now. Well, we've been using the phrase war for talent for at least the last two decades. So I mean as long as I've been and indeed, which is 12 years and then as long as I've been in in tech trying to hire people in the US right now, there are two open positions for every worker out there. Um, that is potentially uh looking for a job. If you ask the question, especially in the U. S. Three years ago, how are you doing? The answer always was one or two things. It was great or fine. And starting in March of 2020, if you asked how you're doing, you get a big sigh and then a real answer of what's going on in your neighborhood with your family. And and I think that that has fundamentally changed every sector, every part of work in that we're beginning to see human beings as complete, complex creatures that have a life outside and what's going on outside does affect us. You know, one of the things and Ellen you and I spoke about this before that, that's really remarkable that I honestly I hadn't thought about too much is that for many people, their place of work is the most diverse environment. They find themselves in. Most people's neighborhoods are not terribly diverse. Most people's schools, their place of worship might not be. But if you work at a big enough company, you're gonna work with a lot of people from a lot of different backgrounds and experiences and what what changes people's perspectives and ideas is getting to know someone who can share their own personal experience.
