In this section you will learn how to connect your Indeed employer account to Double Nickel, sync your job listings to Indeed, and receive Indeed Apply applicants directly in your dashboard.
Overview
The Indeed Integration connects your Indeed employer account to Double Nickel so your team can:
Post jobs to Indeed automatically using Indeed Job Sync, directly from your Double Nickel job listings.
Receive applicants instantly when candidates apply on Indeed, with their information mapped to their Double Nickel applicant profile.
Track where applicants come from with Indeed lead source attribution on every applicant.
Setting up the integration has two parts: connecting your Indeed account, and syncing your job listings to Indeed.
Part 1: Connect Your Indeed Account
From the sidebar, click Settings.
Under Integrations, click Job Sources.
In the Indeed section, click Connect Indeed.
You will be taken to Indeed to authorize the connection. Log in with your Indeed employer account if prompted.
Select the Indeed employer account you want to connect.
After authorizing, you will be returned to Double Nickel and see a confirmation that Indeed was connected successfully.
Your connected account will now appear in the Job Sources table with an Active status.
Note: You can connect more than one Indeed employer account. After your first connection, the button changes to Connect another.
Part 2: Prepare Your Job Listing
Before a job can be synced to Indeed, make sure the listing has the required information filled in.
From the sidebar, click Job Listings.
Open the job listing you want to post to Indeed.
Click Edit.
Make sure the following fields are complete:
Description — a full job description is required for Indeed Job Sync.
Compensation — employment type, pay, and pay unit are required.
Click Save.
Part 3: Sync the Job to Indeed
In the job listing, go to the Tracking Links section.
Click the + icon to add a tracking link and select Indeed.
The Indeed Job Sync panel will appear on the Indeed tracking link.
If you have more than one Indeed account connected, select which Indeed account to post under.
Click Sync to Indeed.
Indeed usually publishes a status within a few minutes. Once the job is live, you can open the panel's menu to Re-sync the posting after making changes, View on Indeed, or Expire on Indeed to close the posting while keeping your Double Nickel job open.
Note: Public questions on the job's template will be posted to Indeed as screener questions.
Receiving Applicants from Indeed
Once your job is live, candidates who apply on Indeed will appear in Double Nickel automatically:
New applicants are created with their Indeed application information mapped to their profile, including resume details where available.
Each applicant shows Indeed as their lead source, so you can filter and report on Indeed applicants.
An activity log entry is added to the applicant's timeline when their Indeed application is received.
Managing or Disconnecting Your Indeed Account
From the sidebar, click Settings.
Under Integrations, click Job Sources.
Find the Indeed account in the table and open the actions menu.
Click Reconnect to re-authorize the account, or Disconnect / opt out to remove it.
Note: Disconnecting an account opts out of Indeed Job Sync and Indeed Apply for that account. Live Indeed postings will be expired, but your Double Nickel jobs stay open.
Important Notes
A job description, employment type, pay, and pay unit are required before a job can sync to Indeed.
You can connect multiple Indeed employer accounts and choose which account each job posts under.
Closing a job in Double Nickel automatically expires the posting on Indeed.
Expiring a posting on Indeed does not close the job in Double Nickel.
Applicants from Indeed are attributed to the Indeed tracking link, so lead source reporting works automatically.
Now you can connect your Indeed account, sync your job listings, and receive Indeed applicants directly in Double Nickel!
