The combination of these premium features is already speeding up the hiring process. 78% of UK employers agree that Indeed Premium Sponsored Jobs reaches the right candidates faster with targeted reach#, while a further 74% say it helps reduce the cost-per-hire by helping to fill vacancies faster than when using other recruitment tools7.
“In a competitive hiring landscape, employers need to move quickly to secure the best talent, but inefficient processes are slowing them down and frustrating candidates,” explains Conor McCarthy, Vice President at Indeed. “The pace of change, coupled with rising expectations from jobseekers, means companies can no longer afford to rely on outdated hiring practices. Our research shows that both sides want the same thing: speed, efficiency and quality matches. Premium Sponsored Jobs brings together technology and human connection to create an efficient, personalised experience.”
Hiring is slow, so Indeed is speeding up the process.
