Is their evidence that Indeed is posting scraped jobs from other services?
The reason this doesn't make sense is as an employer, we found that Indeed produced the highest number of candidates but cost like $400 per listing. We would first post somewhere cheaper and then post on Indeed if we couldn't find a qualified applicant.
We would have loved to post somewhere else for less money and have it be scraped and listed on Indeed for free. It's difficult to believe that their listings are being scraped from somewhere else as the actually customer is the job poster not the applicant.
- RexM 3y agoI’m not sure if Indeed scrapes other job boards, but they (we?) do show jobs scraped from employer sites. They’re called indexed jobs, whereas jobs posted directly to Indeed are called Hosted jobs. https://support.indeed.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002786323-About-Jobs-on-Indeed-What-You-Need-to-Know https://support.indeed.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002786323-Ab... I work at Indeed, but don’t have any part in scraping jobs.
- shiponfire 3y agoI believe scraped jobs are ranked lower, because, like the article pointed out, it's harder to ensure their quality.
