Indeed Apply Sync Guidelines for ATSes​

• Indeed Apply can be provided by an ATS (Applicant Tracking System (ATS) Guidelines), an Employer directly, an Agency, or an Indeed approved 3rd party designated by the employer.

  • 3rd parties must be vetted and approved by Indeed prior to building an integration on behalf of a Direct Employer.

• Indeed defines an ATS as an applicant tracking system that focuses on hosting employer career pages and applicant tracking, sorting, screening, and reporting on applications/hires for their clients. The ATS is the system of record for all jobs data, recruiting processes, and dispositions.

• Screener questions must be available via the Indeed Apply integration. If you are a US-based ATS, an ATS with End Users who advertise jobs based in the US, or an approved third-partybuilder that meets one of the aforementioned criteria, you must also provide EEO functionality if applicable.

• By using the Indeed Apply API in connection with your Job Listings, you agree to require your End Users to agree that they will not require or otherwise burden a Job Seeker to submit a duplicate application through other means if that Job Seeker already applied to their Job Listing using Indeed Apply.

• You further agree to require your End Users to accurately describe to a Job Seeker what information and data your End Users collect from and about that Job Seeker when they apply to your End User’s job using Indeed Apply, including how you handle and share such information and data. You also agree to honor a Job Seeker request for their information and data that you collect in connection with any API.

• You must replicate into the Indeed Platform the Employer screener/application questions present in your Platform. Screener/application questions provided to Indeed via a URL shall be available under that URL at all times.

• You shall not configure any parts of the application experience that aren't clearly provided by Indeed as configurable.

• You must ensure that Job Seeker applications and data remain completely separate and cannot be pooled, commingled or shared across your clients, systems, or platforms.

• You must ensure that all Job Seeker applications are securely transmitted directly to the Employer's authorized hiring system. Redirecting applications to unauthorized systems, intermediaries (e.g., agency databases), or any platform other than the Employer's designated system is strictly prohibited.

• You shall not filter or alter applications submitted by Job Seekers.

• You shall immediately notify Indeed in writing to marketplacesupport@indeed.com of any applications that cannot be processed by your Platform.

• You shall provide an unrestricted and unmodified test Employer account(s) to Indeed and Indeed reserves the right to test the Job Seeker application experience by, among other actions, posting test Job Listings. Indeed is not obliged to perform this test.

• If you are provided with a URL to specify additional steps required from Job Seekers to apply to Job Listings (such as FinishAppUrl) you shall configure and enable such URL and ensure its appropriate availability.

• You must inform Indeed of any domain changes to your career pages (pages where the job advertisements are hosted) that would impact the Indeed Apply HTML, at least 30 days prior to implementing such changes. You agree to inform your clients that the use of Indeed Integration is at all times governed by Indeed’s terms of service (https://www.indeed.com/legal), Indeed’s cookie policy (https://hrtechprivacy.com/brands/indeed#Cookies) and privacy policy (https://hrtechprivacy.com/brands/indeed#privacypolicy), and link to those should be provided to your clients (“Indeed Integration Information”).

Indeed Integration Information shall be provided in the following manner:

• For your clients that are opted into Indeed Integration by default (if any): you must send a prior notice to all such clients (via an email, your Platform or website pop-up or similar means), specifying the date of deployment of and/or date of availability of the Indeed Integration or API bundle that allows for the Indeed Integration
• For all your other clients who must opt into Indeed Integration in order to activate it, within your marketplace page, your implementation guide page or equivalent page, you shall present the Indeed Integration Information on said page to those clients before such clients can choose to opt into Indeed Integration (for example, at deployment of the Indeed Integration; when the client opts into the API bundle that allows for Indeed Integration)

In addition, you shall include the following in the Indeed Integration Information on Indeed Apply Integration:

• How Indeed Apply works, as provided by Indeed;
