Indeed, the world’s #1 job site1 and a leading hiring platform, today announced that 31 hires happen through its platform every minute2, up from 27 hires per minute. The milestone reflects how Indeed’s AI-powered solutions are transforming the job search experience and helping employers find and hire quality talent faster than ever before.
With more than 645 million Job Seeker Profiles3, 3.3 million employers, and access to job seeker audiences across both Indeed and Glassdoor, Indeed operates at a scale that gives the company unique insight into how people discover jobs, how employers connect with talent, and what drives successful hiring outcomes. By combining that breadth of insight with AI-driven matching technology, Indeed helps employers move more efficiently from job posting to job offer.
“Hiring isn’t a simple marketplace; both the job seeker and the employer have to say ‘yes,’” said CEO Hisayuki “Deko” Idekoba during the Q4 and Fiscal Year 2025 earnings results call for Recruit Holdings, Indeed’s parent company. “That’s what makes hiring such a unique matching challenge. Over the past several years, we’ve invested heavily in AI tools for both job seekers and employers to help make better matches faster.”
AI and hiring insights that power better outcomes
Indeed’s technology goes beyond matching keywords on resumes or job descriptions. By analyzing skills, experience, preferences, employer activity, and hiring outcomes across the platform, Indeed’s technology connects job seekers to more relevant opportunities, while helping employers identify stronger candidates earlier in the hiring process.
For job seekers, Indeed is evolving the experience from a manual job search into a more personalized and dynamic experience, by surfacing opportunities aligned to an individual’s background and career goals.
For employers, Indeed’s products support the entire hiring journey from sourcing and screening through interviewing and hiring decisions. Through integrations with more than 350 applicant tracking systems, combined with millions of small businesses using Indeed as an end-to-end hiring solution, Indeed has visibility into hiring outcomes beyond the initial application. These insights help Indeed continuously improve matching quality and hiring efficiency.
This combination of scale, hiring insight, and AI-powered innovation allows Indeed to build products focused on driving hiring outcomes, not just clicks or applications.
Product innovation driving faster hiring
Indeed continues to introduce AI-powered tools designed to help job seekers discover new opportunities and to help employers hire faster and more confidently. Recent innovations include:
- Intelligent candidate discovery and sourcing: Tools like Smart Sourcing proactively surface candidates who are likely to be a strong fit, enabling employers to initiate conversations sooner. Indeed plans to introduce additional AI-powered sourcing features to help employers find and engage with candidates in the coming weeks.
- Tailored job recommendations for job seekers: Personalized feeds and alerts, along with tools like Career Scout, help people discover roles based on their skills, background, and stated preferences, connecting them with opportunities that feel more relevant and attainable.
- Premium visibility that drives measurable hiring impact: Premium Sponsored Jobs combines advertising, branding, and sourcing capabilities to help employers stand out in search results and reach high-intent job seekers. Employers who post directly on Indeed using Premium Sponsored Jobs move forward with significantly more applicants and are helping reduce time to hire by up to 50% compared to non-sponsored jobs.4
- Upfront screening to save time: Smart Screening uses employer-defined criteria to help employers identify candidates who meet those requirements earlier in the hiring process. This enables employers to focus their evaluation on the most relevant applications, saving time while retaining full control over hiring decisions. Based on early testing in the U.S., employers using Smart Screening on Indeed saw a 20% average reduction in time to hire5.
- Integrated communication and scheduling: Messaging, interview coordination, and next-step workflows within Indeed help employers move candidates more efficiently from initial interest to offer.
Together, these innovations shorten time-to-hire and help employers focus on candidates most likely to succeed.
Indeed continues to invest in innovations that reduce friction across the hiring journey for job seekers and employers alike. The increase to 31 hires per minute marks another step in Indeed’s mission to help people get jobs while helping employers hire with greater speed, confidence, and efficiency.
