How Jobs Post to Indeed from BrightMove

Jobs marked as Post to Web are:

Published to your Candidate Experience Portal
Exported to Indeed four times per day
Subject to Indeed’s Search Quality policies and review

⚠️ Do not repost the same job more than once every 30 days.
Indeed considers this spamming and may reduce visibility.

🕐 Jobs may take 24–48 hours to appear publicly due to Indeed’s QA process.

Troubleshooting: Why Isn’t My Job on Indeed?

1. Check Integration Status

Go to the job in BrightMove
Open the Job Board Posting tab
Look for:
- ✅ Green check = job is in the feed
- 👤 Green person with check = applications are being received

2. Confirm Job Settings

Make sure Post to Web is checked
Ensure the Company profile is complete
(Optional) Check Indeed Apply settings (affects conversion, not visibility)

3. Check Job Content

Title: Avoid ALL CAPS, symbols, clickbait, or duplicates
Description: Must be original, accurate, and include job location and details
Fields: Ensure required fields (e.g., job type, location) are filled in
Compliance: Avoid screening questions not supported by Indeed

4. Use the Feed Logs

In the Job Board Posting tab, click View Logs
Filter by Job Board = Indeed and date range
Confirm the job was included in the export

Indeed Quality Guidelines (Key Highlights)

BrightMove is an official Indeed partner, but Indeed independently controls which jobs are visible to job seekers. Here’s what their Search Quality Team looks for:

Jobs must:

Be real, unique, and currently open
Include all required info (location, company, job title, duties)
Be easy to apply to (no fees, no complex hoops)
Be written clearly and without discrimination

Jobs must not:

Be reposted repeatedly to game the system
Use clickbait titles or misleading information
Violate anti-discrimination policies
Be used to build a future candidate pool (they must be active openings)

Staffing Companies: Sponsorship Required

Indeed requires staffing and recruiting firms to sponsor jobs to receive visibility on their platform.
If you are a staffing agency and your jobs are not showing, you must:

Contact Indeed at www.indeed.com/support
Request sponsorship setup for BrightMove as your ATS
Confirm with Indeed that Batch Posting via BrightMove is enabled on your account

New to BrightMove or Switching ATS?

If you previously used another ATS or posted directly to Indeed, you may need to:

Ask Indeed to switch your account to Batch Posting via BrightMove
Mention that BrightMove is an integrated Indeed partner with Quick Apply and other supported features
