Overview
Evolve Recruitment Marketing (RM) has an Indeed job broadcast integration, including full Indeed Apply with Screening Questions. This enables companies to:
- Activate their Indeed job broadcast distribution to include screening questions.
NOTE: Depends on the Apply Workflow license. - Allow candidates to apply on Indeed (Indeed Apply) and complete all required screening questions on Indeed (questions grouped by Apply Workflow step and configured step title).
- Receive completed candidates from Indeed to Evolve RM with all screening questions.
- View a complete candidate with screening questions in ATS (via existing integration).
Audience
This process is helpful to all users.
Prerequisites
The following configurations are required to use Indeed Apply with Screening Questions.
- Apply Workflow License
- Job Broadcast License
- Jobs must have dynamic screening questions synced from ATS
- The Enable Indeed Apply with Screening Questions feature must be enabled
- Either an Evolve RM Career Sites license (for Indeed to pick up organic jobs) or an Indeed Job sponsorship contract (for Indeed to pick up sponsored jobs)
Configuration
Navigate to My Account > Applications > Broadcast > Broadcast Settings. Then, select a job list.
Scroll down until you see Auto-Broadcast Destinations.
Enable the Indeed (Customer Feed) toggle (if it has not already been enabled).
Select Edit Credentials.
Choose a Default Apply Workflow.
NOTE: You can use DYNAMIC or OVERRIDE Job Workflow. This workflow will always be used. All configured questions on any step will be synced to Indeed, and candidates will be asked those questions.
Enable the Screening Questions Enabled toggle.
NOTE: Ignore the Return to Step Email Template and Finish Application URL.
Candidate Process
The process below will display what the candidates experience when they apply through Indeed Apply.
Once candidates locate a job on Indeed, they will click Apply Now.
The candidate completes the application in Indeed.
Indeed will display a set of screening questions set up by Evolve RM.
Indeed sends the candidate data to Evolve RM.
The candidate record is created in ATS (via RMX) with the collected answers to the screening questions.
Additional Information
- Questions for jobs are cached by the Indeed server-side using unique question URLs and refreshed every 20 minutes.
- Questions are ONLY cached when Indeed requests them. This happens when a jobseeker starts the Indeed Apply process. This means if the screening questions change in Evolve RM (via the ATS) for a specific job, Indeed will fetch the updated screening questions when a new candidate applies—assuming Indeed indexed the job with screening questions.
- The following are limitations with Indeed Apply Screening Questions compared to Apply Workflow Questions.
- Default Values (on Short Answer, Date Question types) are not supported in Indeed Apply Screening questions.
- The fields will start as blank values in Indeed.
- Read-only questions (on short answer and date question Types) are not supported in Indeed Apply Screening Questions.
- The fields will not be sent to Indeed and, therefore, not collected.
- If a read-only question is required in the ATS, make it not read-only in Apply Workflow. This may impact usability in regular Apply Workflow, as the candidate can change the values.
- Conditional Questions are not supported in Indeed Apply Screening questions.
- All child questions, including those with read-only status, will be passed to Indeed as configured and answered by the candidate.
- It is recommended that an updated Apply Workflow for Indeed be used, which does not use conditional questions or ensures that child questions are not required.
