Indeed Candidate Screening

Never read another resume.

Your Indeed posting attracts dozens of applications — most of them off-target. We screen every single one, every day, and you only meet 3 to 5 quality candidates, ready for your phone or video interviews.

You pay Indeed to receive noise

Sponsoring a posting works: applications come in. The problem is what comes in with them.

Random applications

Profiles that apply to everything, answer "yes" to every question, or skip your questionnaire entirely.

Your time, evaporating

Every resume takes a few minutes. Multiplied by dozens of applications, that's your evenings gone — while the good candidates wait for a reply.

Good candidates going cold

A qualified candidate who waits a week without news is already interviewing at your competitor. Response speed makes the difference.

How it works

No software to install, no password to share, no phone call required. You keep using Indeed — we handle the rest.

STEP 1

We write your posting

We write (or optimize) your Indeed job posting to attract the right profiles — and stay within Indeed's rules.

STEP 2

We install the screening filter

Custom screening questions, asked automatically to every applicant. Random applications eliminate themselves.

STEP 3

We screen every candidate

Every application is read and evaluated, every business day. Off-target applicants are politely declined, incomplete files followed up.

STEP 4

You run your interviews

We leave you only the good, quality candidates — and we book their phone or video interviews right into your calendar. All you do is show up.

Simple weekly pricing

No percentage of salary, no contract. One payment of $475 to start (setup + 1st week), then $125 per week, plus tax — and you stop as soon as your role is filled.

No contract. No commitment. No surprises.

You pay week by week and stop whenever you want, with no notice and no penalty. Our access to your account is revocable in one click. And every candidate evaluation is documented in writing — you can audit our work at any time. If we don't save you time, you leave — as simply as you arrived.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to give you my Indeed password?

Never. Indeed officially supports adding users to an employer account with defined access levels. You add us in two minutes, and you can revoke access in one click, whenever you want. It's the method Indeed itself recommends.

What happens to the candidates you decline?

Every declined candidate receives a professional rejection email — nobody is left without an answer. Your employer brand stays intact, even with the people you don't hire.

How do you decide who makes the shortlist?

At setup, we define the target profile and the knockout criteria together. We translate them into a screening questionnaire and an evaluation grid. Every application is then scored against that grid — and every recommendation is documented, so you can verify our work at any time.

Why not a recruiting agency?

An agency typically charges 15 to 25% of annual salary — that's $7,500 to $12,500 for a $50,000 role. We do the screening (the part that eats your time) for a fraction of that price, and you keep control of the interview and the hiring decision.

Does it work for every type of role?

The service is built for roles that get volume: sales, trades, customer service, admin, operations. For a highly specialized executive role that gets three applications a month, a headhunting approach makes more sense — and we'll tell you so, honestly, after your questionnaire.

Is there any commitment?

No. Billing is weekly and ends when your role is filled — or whenever you decide, with no notice and no penalty. Most roles fill within a few weeks with rigorous screening.
