Indeed finds jobs for more individuals than all other online sites combined, according to the Top Sources of Hire report from SilkRoad, a report based on data gathered from 14 million applications, 655,000 interviews and 329,000 hires.
Indeed.ca is a top resource for job seekers AND employers. While job seekers can search from millions of posted job opportunities, did you also know that employers are doing the same?
Employers are proactively seeking candidates through Indeed’s 90 million-strong resume database. Using keyword searches based on skills, education, job titles, previous employers, and more, employers are not simply waiting for their preferred candidate to apply to them, they are proactively searching through resumes just as you are proactively searching through job postings.
Do you have what it takes to get noticed? Is your resume available on Indeed? It is up-to-date, or is it missing relevant work experience, education, etc. that would help to set your resume apart from the 90 million other posted resumes?
Posting your resume to Indeed is easy, simply create a profile then upload OR build your Indeed resume. By uploading or building your resume within Indeed you are agreeing to create a public resume, that is, a resume that is searchable by employers and recruiters.
While employers will be able to see your resume online, including your name, your contact information is kept hidden. If an employer or recruiter feels that you are a possible match for their hiring needs, they will email you via your Indeed email, an email established for your privacy that is directed to your personal email account – no need to log back into Indeed to check for possible messages.
Once you receive an email from a prospective employer you can confirm your interest or decline. If you confirm, then the employer will have access to your contact information including email and phone number.
Note: While you will have completed an online application within Indeed, once you are engaging with a prospective employer, you may be asked to complete an application within their system. The two systems are NOT connected. With the use of applicant tracking systems (ATS) by more and more employers, having your resume within the prospective employer’s ATS is often how a recruiter will share your interest with their hiring managers, and in many cases, offers are also generated from your online profile built within their system. So, while it may seem redundant to what you have already done, it is a key step in confirming your interest and having your application moved through an employer’s selection process.
