Note: Indeed has a policy that all staffing companies must have a sponsored visibility to post jobs. If you have not already done so, please contact Indeed support to inquire how to do this.
For direct employers, Indeed does not currently require sponsorship to post jobs.
If your job postings from BrightMove aren't appearing on Indeed as expected, here are specific troubleshooting steps for BrightMove users:
Verification Steps
1. Check BrightMove-Indeed Integration Status
Navigate to the job in question
Select the Job Board Posting tab
Confirm that you see a green check next to Indeed (a green checkmark means the job is included in the Indeed feed, a green person with a check means applications are being received)
2. Review Indeed-Specific Settings in BrightMove
Ensure "Publish to Web" option is selected for the specific job
Check that your company profile is complete and accurate in BrightMove
Verify your Indeed Apply settings are properly configured within Company Preferences (while this won't affect posting, it could adversely impact application rate)
3. Job Content Compliance
Review job titles for Indeed compatibility (avoid special characters or all caps)
Ensure job descriptions meet Indeed's content guidelines
Check that required fields like location and job type are properly filled out
Remove any screening questions that aren't supported by Indeed
Don't continue to resubmit jobs by changing the date; Indeed sees this as spam.
4. Technical Validation
Check the job feed logs by clicking View Logs on the Job Board Posting tab
Make sure you use the proper date and job board filters to search the logs
