About Indeed
The world's largest job site, with 3.3M+ employers and reach in 60 countries.
Indeed was launched in November 2004 by Paul Forster and Rony Kahan, two founders who had already sold finance-jobs site Jobsinthemoney.com a year earlier. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, the product started as a search engine that aggregated job postings from company sites and other boards, then added paid sponsorship in 2005. By October 2010 it had passed Monster.com on US traffic.
In October 2012 Tokyo-listed Recruit Holdings (TYO:6098) acquired Indeed for a reported figure between 750 million and one billion dollars, and the company has operated as an independent unit inside Recruit's HR Technology segment ever since. Sister site Glassdoor joined the same segment after Recruit's 2018 acquisition. In July 2025 Recruit announced it would fold Glassdoor's operations into Indeed, putting both brands behind one product organisation.
The reason to pull Indeed into a warehouse is that the in-app dashboards stop at the job-posting boundary. The employer console shows clicks, applies and sponsorship spend per posting, but it does not know which of those candidates eventually signed an offer in your ATS, stayed past the probation date or cost less to hire than the LinkedIn campaign next to it. In a warehouse, Indeed postings, applicants and spend sit next to the BreezyHR pipeline stage, the HiBob start date and the Exact Online invoice for the agency line, and cost-per-hire reads from the joined picture instead of three exports.
