The end of free job postings: How Indeed’s shift is impacting recruitment
When Indeed first launched, it was like the "Google for Jobs," of today, offering a comprehensive, free platform where job seekers could find listings from job boards, staffing companies, and employers alike. This freemium model allowed companies to post jobs, receive applications, and even make hires without any charge. But about a decade ago, Indeed made a significant change that sent ripples through the recruitment industry: they stopped accepting job board postings for free. In this video, we explore how Indeed’s shift from organic to paid listings impacted job boards and staffing companies. While some in the industry anticipated this change and adapted accordingly, others were caught off guard. We’ll discuss how this pivotal moment reshaped recruitment strategies and what it means for the future of job postings.
