Disposition Sync API FAQs
Disposition Sync API FAQs.
When an employer changes the status of an Indeed candidate in the ATS, the ATS sends the new status signal to Indeed, along with an anonymized application ID and a date/time stamp.
Indeed's job seeker product team aggregates and analyzes the disposition data Indeed collects from global ATSs. Indeed uses this data to improve job advertisement targeting and the application experience, so candidates can better understand how the skills on their resumes meet your requirements.
When clients are already opted in, encourage them to move candidates through the stages within their ATS. For example, after a recruiter reviews a CV, change the status to reviewed/screened, and so on.
Statuses vary by ATS. The most important thing is that Indeed receives as many updates as possible for every candidate in the employer's pipeline.
Clients who send continuous stage and status updates can:
- Help Indeed deliver better-matched candidates over time.
- Quickly identify which roles do not yet have enough candidates, so the client can shift focus and budget to the roles that need help.
- Better understand hiring timelines by analyzing how long each stage typically takes.
Indeed considers any signal beyond NEW, INCOMPLETE, and UNABLE_TO_MAP a quality signal. To qualify for tiered status, an ATS must reach a quality signal adoption rate of at least 55%.
Indeed measures an ATS's disposition adoption rate as the share of Indeed Applyable jobs that send disposition signals back to Indeed. If every one of your clients opts in to Indeed Apply and the ATS confirms applicant receipt, your disposition adoption rate is 100%. If half of your clients opt in to Indeed Apply but the ATS sends disposition signals on every one of those jobs, your disposition adoption rate is also 100%.
Indeed understands that ATS partners cannot control how their clients move candidates through the hiring funnel. Indeed measures disposition signal adoption as the share of Indeed Apply-enabled jobs that send a signal. If Indeed receives confirmation that the ATS received the application, that counts as a signal sent. Indeed encourages partners to map every quality disposition signal, encourage clients to use the signals, and automate signal delivery to Indeed when applicants reach milestones to improve the performance of the Indeed Apply integration and build a higher-quality pipeline over time.
Salary and location fields are data nodes that partners send to Indeed with their clients' jobs. According to job seekers, salary is one of the most important pieces of information. Job location is one of the most-requested details for a job description, and ideally as precise as possible.
Jobs with salary and a precise location perform better. Sponsored indexed jobs with salary and a precise location receive:
- 2.5X more impressions per job
- 2.3X more clicks per job
- 3.3X more apply starts per job
