Indeed was the only model where we could get visibility for all jobs while only paying for performance.

With Indeed, there’s not a lot of hands-on work involved - the candidates just come. You push a button, set the budget and it’s done.

This got us thinking - why not show how pay-per-click recruitment advertising on Indeed works, and how easy it is for a company to sponsor its jobs? The video below provides an overview and how to get started:

Indeed is also the top search engine for jobs in Hitwise’s top 10 employment & training websites and second in overall market share in this category.

Indeed is focused on providing the most comprehensive and effective search engine for jobs. We are excited that so many people are finding it useful and wish everyone the best of luck in their job search.

Indeed’s jobs data are an alternative to government payroll statistics, offering a more forward-looking insight into hiring activity. If government data show the job market in the rear-view mirror - jobs that have been created or lost - Indeed’s Industry Trends provide a view through the front windscreen: job openings that companies intend to fill.

Our data show that compared with a year ago the number of job postings in the US has declined in all industries, while Education and Healthcare have declined the least. Job seeker traffic grew strongly in all industries; Education, Construction and Healthcare grew the most, experiencing a doubling of clicks in the last year.

Our job data are directionally similar to the government’s payroll numbers. Labor Department data for January 2009 show that Education, Healthcare and Government were the only sectors to grow in the last year, adding 743,000 jobs since December 2007. The US economy as a whole lost 3.6 million jobs.

The decline in job postings in the last year has been much steeper than the decline in overall jobs; the net loss of jobs in the economy is just one of several causes of job posting decline. People are switching jobs less often due to job insecurity, so job openings created by employee churn are far fewer. Also, employers are posting open positions less frequently to job boards because of a greater supply of candidates in the market.

January 2009 Industry Trends Report

Industry	Job Postings	Annual Change
Accounting	119,171	-53%
Construction	57,164	-47%
Education	62,933	-9%
Financial Services and Banking	144,569	-48%
Healthcare	581,625	-8%
Hospitality	57,608	-48%
Information Technology	395,629	-43%
Manufacturing	65,452	-46%
Media and Newspaper	24,104	-47%
Real Estate	16,336	-58%
Retail	298,804	-45%
Transportation	52,966	-47%

Owing to Indeed’s comprehensiveness, Industry Trends provide a unique view of job posting activity in the US. We hope it will be of use both to job seekers and employers - please send us your feedback.
 

But this belies myriad opportunities: hundreds of thousands of companies are continuing to hire. While big layoffs are headline-grabbing, gradual hiring in sometimes hidden corners of the economy often goes unnoticed by the media.

Use Indeed’s job search to ferret out the jobs that fit your own background and our job trends to see which jobs are in demand. If the industry you’re in is struggling, find where you can deploy your skills in areas of the economy that are growing.

Try looking for the silver lining amongst the clouds; foreclosure work, for example, is booming. Or seek out opportunities in new technologies like renewable energy that are likely to transform tomorrow’s economy.

The Times itself found one pocket of growth, noting here that “Indeed.com shows a thriving job market for MySQL and Linux developers.” Not only that, but demand for MySQL and Linux skills is also strongly rising.

Good luck in your job search and please let us know your job search success stories.

This approach also benefits our clients, who sponsor their jobs on Indeed for targeted job seeker traffic and qualified applications to their jobs. While we hear from job seekers all the time about their Indeed experiences, we also hear from our clients about how sponsored jobs are an easy, effective way to meet their recruitment advertising objectives. Here are some recent comments from our client case studies:

We hired five engineers in the first three months through Indeed. We were trying to hire for specific, hard-to-fill positions, and sponsoring jobs on Indeed delivered.
General Dynamics C4 Systems

Indeed was the best solution to get the greatest amount of visibility with the least amount of effort. We were looking for an Organizational Development Manager for just over a year, and filled the job within the first three months of sponsoring jobs on Indeed.
Intermountain Healthcare

It is extremely easy to sponsor jobs on Indeed and gain national exposure to top candidates. It is amazing just how qualified Indeed job seekers are - we were expecting to receive candidates for some of our easier-to-fill job openings and ended up hiring a Certified Cytotechnologist and a Registered Polysomnographic Technologist.
Tuality Healthcare

We thank these companies and all our hundreds of clients using Indeed.

Millions of job seekers succeeded in getting new jobs during 2008, despite the recession. Below is a small sample from thousands of our users who told us how they used Indeed to find a job last year.

Prospects for job seekers in 2009 will remain difficult in depressed sectors like housing and financial services, but are likely to remain stronger in other areas like healthcare and education. While there may be little or no growth in net new jobs in the US economy during 2009, job openings will always be plentiful due to natural churn; after all, people continue to change jobs every three to four years on average.

We thank you and wish you the very best for 2009.

[Update: Indeed has also been picked by Search Engine Watch as the #1 web resource for finding jobs in search.]

This is without doubt, the best job-search engine I’ve used. Timely, accurate, easy-to-access and easy-on-the-eye. I did “indeed” find my dream job and look forward to starting a new career.
CM in Westerville, Ohio

Thanks to the daily alerts from Indeed, I found an HR role with a very good financial company three blocks from my house. The ability to search for jobs in one place versus searching several job boards is invaluable. Additionally, having jobs delivered to my email daily helped me stay on top of my job search. Thanks!
LDS in Jersey City, New Jersey

I saw the posting last Wednesday on Indeed, submitted my resume that day, was phone interviewed within the hour, did a walk through the next day and two hours later was called and hired for the position.
SM in Chatham, New York

Thank you for all the help! Some days it would have been easy to get depressed about the job search. But there was the Indeed e-mail on my computer every morning to remind me that there was interesting work out there, and it was like a fresh start every day. Again, thank you!
DF in Rock Hill, South Carolina

I found a job! The job listing came through Indeed.com, and it was a direct hire rather than having to use a recruiter. Without Indeed.com I would have never seen the ad because it didn’t show up on either of the big job sites.
RWD in Brant Rock, Massachusetts

My dream job found me through Indeed Job Alerts. Every morning when I checked my e-mail, there were several jobs waiting for me. I am now online editor for a major metropolitan newspaper, thanks to Indeed. Thanks!
LB in El Sobrante, California

Timing is more important than time. Following months of searching, I responded to a well-defined job posting on Indeed.com. Within two hours I received a call inviting me to an interview that eventually led to winning the CFO position. Indeed, Indeed.com works.
SS in Mobile, Alabama

I am thankful that I was told about indeed.com. As a licensed social worker in a very rural area, it has been a difficult task to find a job in my field. The job alert was an excellent way to stay updated on the most recent positions in my area and I’m pleased to say that I believe I have found the “job of my dreams.” I’m not sure I would have stumbled across it without the help of indeed.com.
EB in Crothersville, Indiana

Thanks to a listing that you included on Indeed, I sent a resume, received a call, relocated from Illinois to Tennessee and start on Monday at an awesome job!! Thank you so much for being the best job search engine there is!!
LM in Columbia, Tennessee

Indeed.com searched multiple sites for jobs that were in my area of interest. Looking for a new job is difficult enough, so having to search hundreds of job sites and sift through all of their postings is extremely time-consuming. Indeed helped me identify the jobs I was interested in quickly, which helped me focus on the important things - getting a job!
C in O’Fallon, Missouri

I found my new job with my Indeed Alert. What I do is “nichey”, Medical Informatics; the alert I set up didn’t produce a lot of hits, but the ones it did were on-target. One day a job came through and I applied, 3 days later I had an interview; 8 weeks later I’m at Stanford University! I continue to use that alert to monitor the industry. Thanks!
PMH in Stanford, California

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! After 18 months of searching for a permanent job on specialized boards, 4 weeks of indeed.com brought me my PERFECT job!
CSA in Cumming, Georgia

What are the most helpful job sites on the Web? … www.indeed.com, run by a privately held company founded by Paul Forster and Rony Kahan, with the New York Times company among its shareholders. This is the answer to a job-hunter’s prayer. There are lots of “job-boards” out there, thousands in fact; these, if you don’t know are websites that list employers’ job-postings, i.e., vacancies. Such postings are also to be found on employers’ own company or organization sites. Want to look through every one of them? No, you don’t. What you want is something that sweeps through all of them for you, and summarizes what it finds-in just one place. What you need is the site called Indeed (URL above). It is the most comprehensive job search service on the Web, as it “plucks” job listings from thousands of company websites, job boards, newspapers and associations. It has a UK site, whose URL, not surprisingly, is www.indeed.co.uk.

Richard Bolles was also kind enough to add Indeed job search to his website, JobHuntersBible.com. Thanks Dick!

Since Indeed.com’s launch four years ago in November 2004, we have grown to include jobs from more than ten thousand websites in seven countries and four languages. More job searches are now performed on Indeed.com than on any other website (comScore Media Metrix, Oct 2008).
