Employer Data

Employer Data API Guidelines​

• Identifying Employers:

  • If a client wishes to submit employer details via the Employer Data API, they must first contact Indeed's onboarding partners to get a unique ATS identifier. This ensures their employer data is distinct.

  • While using the Employer Data API, clients must always pair the correct ATS identifier with their internal employer dataset identifier. It's vital that two separate companies never use the same identifier.

  • When utilizing the Job Sync API, clients should consistently use the same combination of ATS identifier and employer identifier. This ensures jobs are correctly linked with their respective employers.

  • It's essential that clients avoid associating jobs with the wrong companies and take active steps to prevent any fraud.

• Data usage:

  • Clients using the API must inform data providers on the ATS side that their information will be shared with Indeed. This data will then be visible to the public on both Indeed and its partner sites.

  • If clients believe data providers might object to how their data is used downstream, they should refrain from sending that data.

  • Clients should never send information if there's a valid concern regarding the illegal use of that content.

• Data validity

  • Clients should ensure that employer information sent through API is relevant and up to date. If employer information is incorrect, misleading or otherwise compromises jobseeker experience, employer and associated jobs can be removed from search results.

  • Clients should be aware that in certain situations, Indeed might display employer information that's different from the client-provided data. This could occur if Indeed believes they have more accurate or trustworthy data about the employer.
