Indeed Unveils Comprehensive Hiring Solutions to Empower Job Seekers and Employers
Indeed, the world’s leading job site and a top hiring platform, has announced a groundbreaking suite of hiring solutions designed to revolutionize the recruitment process. The new offerings include two AI-powered agents—Career Scout for job seekers and Talent Scout for employers—as well as Premium Sponsored Jobs and Indeed Connect, tools aimed at improving candidate quality and accelerating hiring timelines. Together, these innovations create a seamless ecosystem that empowers job seekers with personalized career guidance while equipping employers with powerful tools to source, engage, and hire top talent more efficiently.
Addressing Persistent Hiring Challenges
The modern hiring landscape remains fraught with challenges for both job seekers and employers. A staggering 53% of job seekers report feeling stuck in their careers, and nearly 80% wish they had better insights into roles that align with their skills. Yet, only 19% have accessed career coaching, often due to cost barriers or lack of awareness. On the employer side, while quality hires are a top priority, over a third (34%) admit to making suboptimal hiring decisions simply to keep the process moving.
“We know the hiring process can work better,” said Maggie Hulce, Chief Revenue Officer at Indeed. “With our reach, scale, and deep insights, Indeed is uniquely positioned to create new ways for talent and opportunity to connect. Our new solutions give job seekers clearer direction and help employers tap into a broader talent pool—connecting the right people to the right jobs faster.”
To tackle these challenges head-on, Indeed has expanded its platform with a new generation of AI-driven tools. These innovations aim to create a more connected hiring experience, helping job seekers find roles that match their aspirations while enabling employers to identify and engage quality candidates with greater speed and confidence.
Career Scout: Personalized Career Coaching for All
Built directly into the Indeed app, Career Scout is an AI-powered career coach designed to guide job seekers through every step of their career journey. Available 24/7, Career Scout goes beyond simplifying the application process—it provides comprehensive support from career discovery to interview preparation.
Using advanced algorithms, Career Scout analyzes users’ skills, interests, and goals to uncover career paths they may not have considered. It offers tailored job recommendations, salary insights, and company information to help candidates make informed decisions. Additionally, Career Scout streamlines the application process by pre-filling forms, customizing resumes, and organizing all steps in one place. Its built-in tools for interview practice, personalized feedback, and professional communication further enhance candidates’ chances of standing out.
Early results highlight Career Scout’s impact: users find and apply to relevant jobs seven times faster and are 38% more likely to be hired. By reducing the stress and inefficiency of job searching, Career Scout ensures that job seekers feel confident and empowered throughout their journey.
Talent Scout: Smarter Sourcing and Engagement for Employers
For employers, Talent Scout serves as an intelligent, conversational agent that transforms how organizations find, engage, and hire top talent. This AI-powered virtual recruiter combines real-time market intelligence, such as salary benchmarks and job content optimization, with Indeed’s vast talent pool to provide actionable insights that strengthen hiring strategies.
Talent Scout seamlessly integrates with Indeed and popular ATS platforms like isolved People Cloud, Workable, and Workday (via a Google Chrome extension). It scans millions of searchable profiles to surface the strongest matches and assists in drafting personalized outreach messages. This ensures that employers can source high-quality candidates efficiently and effectively.
Employers who have used Talent Scout report significant improvements in their sourcing strategies. “Talent Scout has expanded the scope of what I’m searching for when sourcing candidates,” said a Clinical Recruiter at BrightSpring Health Services. “It’s helped me understand that there are other types of candidates out there that could be a good fit for the roles we’re hiring for. With Talent Scout, I can be confident that all the candidates it gives me are quality and match what I’m asking for.”
Premium Sponsored Jobs: Accelerating Quality Hires
Premium Sponsored Jobs represents the next evolution in online recruiting, combining advertising, branding, and sourcing into a single solution. Designed to attract highly qualified candidates, this tool uses precision targeting to reach individuals who meet specific skills, certifications, and location requirements.
Employers can also leverage AI-driven features to streamline outreach, including auto-generated messages and candidate highlights. The result is a faster, more efficient hiring process. Data shows that employers using Premium Sponsored Jobs move forward with three times more applicants and hire 58% faster compared to free postings. In a recent survey, 93% of employers said Premium Sponsored Jobs helps them reach top talent, and 95% would recommend it to others.
Indeed Connect: Unlocking Exclusive Benefits
To further enhance the hiring experience, Indeed has introduced Indeed Connect, a subscription service that bundles exclusive access to AI-powered innovations, marketplace advantages, and preferential terms on all Indeed products. Two key innovations under this umbrella include:
- Advanced Screening: This feature scores applicants against an employer’s unique criteria and uses conversational AI to gather detailed candidate information, verify licenses for select occupations, and deliver clear summaries directly into the employer’s ATS.
- Advanced Sourcing: Employers can define candidate profiles, outreach content, and tone using natural language. Advanced Sourcing then engages candidates and delivers those who apply directly into the employer’s ATS, allowing real-time tracking and adjustments.
By integrating multiple Indeed products, employers can streamline workflows and reduce time-to-hire. In fact, 75% of employers report shorter hiring timelines when using multiple Indeed solutions together.
A Unified Ecosystem for Success
Indeed’s new suite of hiring solutions marks a significant leap forward in addressing the pain points of both job seekers and employers. By leveraging AI and machine learning, these tools create a more connected, efficient, and effective hiring ecosystem. For job seekers, Career Scout provides personalized guidance and reduces the stress of navigating the job market. For employers, Talent Scout, Premium Sponsored Jobs, and Indeed Connect offer unparalleled capabilities to source, engage, and hire top talent with confidence.
As the hiring landscape continues to evolve, Indeed’s commitment to innovation ensures that its platform remains a trusted partner for both job seekers and employers.
