The benefits of Smart Sourcing
In a recent survey, Indeed found that 92% of employers are interested in hiring platforms designed to improve efficiency and help save time in the hiring process.
Smart Sourcing helps ensure that your talent team gets what they’re looking for by enabling new methods of matching, connecting and collaborating in the recruitment process.
Instantly match with quality candidates
Smart Sourcing users automatically receive a shortlist of candidates who match job criteria across a variety of industries, skills and educational backgrounds, eliminating the need for you to manually search for candidates. Matching is based on information collected from the job seeker such as skills, experience and preferences.
Matched candidates you invite to apply are 15x more likely to apply to your job than job seekers who only see it in search.
Seamlessly works across teams and tools*
Smart Sourcing’s collaboration options allow you to team up to provide feedback on candidates by adding and sharing notes, enabling a streamlined evaluation process and greater transparency. With Smart Sourcing you’ll have the ability to manage and add new team members, assign subscriptions, and monitor activity from one centralised administrative dashboard.
Smart Sourcing subscription options
Smart Sourcing provides you with flexible options to meet your organisation’s changing hiring demands. You can choose between our Standard or Professional subscription plan.
Standard: Best for occasional hiring
The Standard Smart Sourcing plan is designed for employers who hire periodically and want a simple way to discover, contact and organise candidates in one place. You get access to Indeed’s hiring platform, with unlimited searching, saved searches and project tools that help you keep promising candidates organised for current and future roles.
For each job you list on Indeed, Smart Sourcing provides a shortlist of matched candidates so you can quickly focus on people who are more likely to be a good fit. You can refine results using advanced filters and Boolean search to zero in on candidates for hard-to-fill or highly specialised roles.
Standard includes a monthly allocation of candidate contacts, so you can reach out directly to interested job seekers, with the flexibility to add more as your hiring needs grow.
Professional: Best for continual hiring
The Professional Smart Sourcing plan is built for teams that are hiring on an ongoing basis and need to move quickly while staying aligned. In addition to everything in Standard, Professional adds collaboration and optimisation tools that help you work efficiently across your hiring team and scale your outreach to more candidates.
With Professional, you can use advanced filters, bulk messaging and shared projects to reach more of the right candidates in less time. Teams can pool and share contacts across Professional subscriptions, so colleagues in different locations or business units can tap into the same talent pools and avoid duplicating effort.
Professional also includes features like template performance insights, customisable subject lines and reminders to help you continuously improve your outreach. These analytics make it easier to see which messages resonate, increase candidate response and engagement over the hiring journey, and understand the return on your sourcing efforts.
Professional plans include a larger monthly allocation of candidate contacts, with the flexibility to purchase more as needed, so high-volume teams can take full advantage of Smart Sourcing.
