Indeed offers different pricing models for corporations and agencies when posting sponsored jobs. For more details, please reach out to Indeed Support
The Carerix integration with Indeed is free of charge.
But, for recruitment agencies, posting vacancies through Indeed Apply is a paid service.
The Carerix-Indeed integration ensures your postings appear in the Indeed Employer Dashboard, where you can decide if you want to publish them on Indeed as a paid listing.
For Corporates, this is free, and postings go directly to Indeed.
How to make use of Indeed Apply integration
At Marketplace in left menu in Carerix (you need Carerix Admin rights) -> Make sure that Marketplace feature " Indeed Apply" is set to ACTIVATED
By default this option will be activated and visible in your systemCheck your Mediums - Indeed Apply section
By default, any medium with code 'web' will be checked. So all active publications to this medium, will automatically be send to Indeed
Make sure your publication have a correct Job url. See explanation below
IMPORTANT: criteria for Indeed to accept your publications:
publication contains a correct Job URL (See explanation below. In controlled roll out phase, Carerix provides this URL)
vacancy contains Country filled in, in the address field
vacancy contains Postal code AND/OR City
publication owner has a valid emailadres
publication startdate is today or in the past
publication enddate is empty or in the future
publication status in not "stopped"
publication is not archived
publication-text does not contain emailadres or phone number
publication-text is not empty
The Carerix-Indeed Apply integration sends the full content of the publication text blocks from Carerix to Indeed. However, the default headings of these blocks (such as Intro, Organization and Department Description, Job Information, etc.) are not included in the data sent to Indeed.
Job URL setting for generating the Job url
See Settings -> Attributes and fields -> field "jobUrl" (or "vacancyURL")
This settings-field "JobUrl" will generate a proper link to each new publication on your website.
If the setting-field is empty, Carerix wasn't able to find the proper structure of your website. In this case, there are 4 solutions:
Note: For the first group of selected customers (starting 25-11-24), the JobUrl will be added by Carerix in the background and sent to Indeed.
This applies to customers using the WordPress Plugin or a website provided by SecureDesign. These solutions support structured data.
Option 1. (strongly recommended)
Ask your web-builder to make all Carerix publications available on a short URL which will redirect to the correct vacancy page, if a query parameter is present in the URL.
For example: visiting https://vacancies.mydomain.com/?publication_id=<carerix publication ID> will redirect to the correct vacancy page.
Following PHP code snippet might be useful to your web-builder when creating a redirect: if (isset($_GET['pub_id'])){ $get_vars = $_GET; unset($get_vars['pub_id']); $new_query_string = http_build_query($get_vars); $new_query_string = strlen($new_query_string) ? ("?" . $new_query_string) : ""; $pub_id = (int) $_GET['pub_id']; $gotSomething = false; // Do lookup for publication and set gotSomething to true if a publication for pub_id was found if ($gotSomething) { $link = ''; // Create your link URL here header("Location: $link"); die(); } }
Option 2.
Add the correct structure as a whole into the JobURL setting field. This could be quite complex coding, because of cxscripting and management of special characters!
Option 3.
Manually add the Vacancy link to each active publication.
Ofcourse this is only feasible when you have limited amount of active publications on your website. And, you'll need to manually add vacancy url for each future publication..
Option 4.
Your web developer insert the accurate vacancy URL for each publication through our API. This will involve additional effort for your web developer and, as a result, we do not recommend.

How to validate the JobURL field in a new publication
Create publication.
Open publication -> tab "Admin" -> field "JobURL" is filled with an automatically generated link based on the code in the settingsfield "jobUrl"("vacancyUrl").
WordPress Plugin
If your website uses the WordPress Plugin:
The structure of your apply url:
http://www.domainname.com/?pub_id=<cx:write value="$publication.publicationID"/>
FAQ
Q: Setting Job url field is empty
A: Ask your web-builder for the correct structure of your apply url.
Q: Whats the difference between Apply Url and Job Url
A: The Apply url points to your webpage which shows the Apply form.
For many customers the apply form is integrated in the job page. In that case, the ApplyUrl is the same as the JobUrl.
Q: I received the correct Job url setting. Now I want to update the Apply url field in all publications. Can I do this in bulk?
A: There's no option to do this in bulk, from the Carerix interface.
Please send a request to your Customer Succes Manager, that includes the correct JobUrl setting.
