📢 Recruiters and employers may want to pay attention to a significant change happening on Indeed. A recent update from Indeed indicates that free job postings will no longer receive consistent visibility in search results. While free postings aren't disappearing entirely, visibility will increasingly prioritize sponsored jobs, particularly in competitive markets and hard-to-fill positions. This isn't entirely surprising. Many technology platforms have followed a similar path: ➡️ Build market share through free access ➡️ Become the dominant platform ➡️ Shift toward monetization For employers, however, this raises an important question: What happens when your recruiting strategy depends heavily on a single job board? One of the biggest advantages we've seen with applicant tracking systems is the ability to diversify job distribution rather than relying on one source of traffic. In a recent Workforce Solutions ATS case study, a CPA firm was able to: ✅ Reduce cost-per-hire by more than 90% ✅ Decrease job board spending by nearly 87% ✅ Increase hires by more than 300% over time Not because they stopped recruiting. Because they improved how and where jobs were distributed. The lesson isn't necessarily "stop using Indeed." The lesson is that employers should understand the risks of relying too heavily on any one recruiting channel.
