Can Application Forms Be Used For Indeed Postings?

Yes. Turn on Match Application Form to Indeed Screener, select an Application Form on the Job, and its questions will appear as screener questions on Indeed.

Written by Kyle Kroeger

Yes. When Match Application Form to Indeed Screener is turned on, the Crelate Application Form selected on a Job is used as Indeed’s screener questions. Candidates answer the questions on Indeed as they apply, without leaving Indeed.


Where candidates’ answers appear

Each candidate’s answers are saved to their Contact Record as an Application Form document. If any questions on the form use Field Mapping, those answers also fill in the mapped fields on the Contact Record. To set up Field Mapping, see Managing Application Forms.


Before you start

You need three things:


Turn on Application Forms for Indeed

  1. Select Settings, then Portals, then Job Portal, and then Job Board Publishing.

  2. Set Job Board Publishing to Enabled.

  3. Next to Indeed, select Yes.

  4. Next to Match Application Form to Indeed Screener, select Yes.

Turning on Indeed makes your Jobs available to Indeed. Whether your Jobs appear in Indeed’s search results depends on Indeed’s quality review and rules.

💡 Pro Tip: Indeed also offers Share Disposition Data with Indeed, a separate setting from Application Forms. Select Yes to send disposition data to Indeed, which can help you get more quality applicants for your Jobs.


Select an Application Form on a Job

  1. Open the Job Record, and go to the Summary tab.

  2. In the panel on the right, select Edit, next to the Job’s status. The Edit Opportunity window opens.

  3. In the Application Form field, select the search icon and choose the form.

  4. Save your changes.

💡 Pro Tip: Select the Application Form before you publish the Job to Indeed, so candidates see your screener questions from the start.


Key takeaway

To use Application Forms on Indeed, go to Settings, Portals, Job Portal, Job Board Publishing, select Select Individual Job Boards, and set Indeed and Match Application Form to Indeed Screener to Yes. Then select an Application Form on each Job you publish. Candidates answer your questions as Indeed Screener questions, and their answers are saved to their Contact Record.
