FAQs
Question: Can I automatically send applications to my ATS or career site?
Answer: Yes. Indeed offers a few ways to do this:
- Integrations Hub: Check if your ATS works with Indeed. Your ATS usually handles activation, either automatically or after you opt in.
- Build your own: Use Indeed's Developer Docs to build your own Indeed Apply connection.
- Indeed Preferred Partners Program: Does your software not connect with Indeed? This program can help. Partners build the connection for you. Email integrator-referrals@indeed.com to learn more.
Question: Do I need to turn on Indeed Apply in my ATS to get complete applications?
Answer: Yes. Applications may not reach your ATS if you only turn on Indeed Apply in your Indeed account. Turn on Indeed Apply in your ATS too. Your ATS must also support the needed fields and questions. If not, some data may be missing.
Question: Can I use extra features, like screening tools?
Answer: Maybe. This depends on your ATS and setup. Indeed Apply may give you AI tools, automation and advanced screening.
Question: Can Indeed Apply use the same screening questions as my ATS?
Answer: Yes. Indeed Apply supports many types of questions, so your screening process stays the same:
- Basic: Text, multiple choice, tick boxes, dates
- Advanced: Dropdown menus, questions that change based on answers and file uploads for things like certificates or work samples
- Layout: Instructions and page breaks
