    Indeed launches AI-powered product, ‘Smart Sourcing’ designed to make hiring faster

    Mumbai: Indeed, a global job matching and hiring platform and a subsidiary of Recruit Holdings, today announced the launch of a new AI-powered product to make the hiring process faster and simpler.

    For employers, Indeed has unveiled Smart Sourcing, an AI-powered tool that enables them to source an active talent pool of nearly 300 million workers globally, based on profiles and resumes shared on Indeed. Indeed’s AI-powered matching engine instantly recommends the best candidates for a job based on an individual’s skills, experiences and qualifications. Employers can then quickly review matched candidates, directly connect with them, and ultimately hire faster.

    Sourcing Remains A Challenge For Employers

    A recent survey by Indeed revealed that one of the biggest challenges faced by employers is finding the right talent with the required skills. In India, 76 per cent of employers struggle to source qualified candidates with the necessary skills. Indeed’s Smart Sourcing, powered by AI, empowers employers to find the most suitable candidate matches that align with job specifications and offers AI-generated summaries for suitable candidates.  

    The product’s customizable, AI-generated outreach feature streamlines the process of contacting potential hires with personalized messages based on their resumes and job descriptions, ultimately saving time and enhancing efficiency during the hiring process. The survey also found that 83 per cent of Indian employers feel that a hiring platform designed to enhance efficiency and save time during the hiring process is the need of the hour.

    Indeed senior product director Abhishek Dhasmana said, “At Indeed, we believe that people are at the core of any successful organization. That’s why we’re committed to simplifying the hiring process, not just for efficiency, but also to create a positive experience for both employers and job seekers.

    Abhishek added, “We are pleased to introduce an innovative AI-powered ‘’Smart Sourcing’ that demonstrates our commitment to revolutionizing job matching and hiring in India.

    Making hiring more efficient for employers and job seekers

    Smart Sourcing offers a plethora of benefits to employers, revolutionizing the hiring process through AI-driven technology. By effectively matching the most suitable candidates to specific job requirements, Smart Sourcing saves employers an average of 8.1. hours per week in recruiting and hiring. By instantly matching and recommending quality candidates tailored to specific job requirements, 95 per cent of employers agree that ‘Smart Sourcing’ significantly reduces time-to-hire.

    Job searching can be a challenging journey for most job seekers. Indeed’s recent survey reveals that 77 per cent of job seekers emphasize the importance of employers understanding their preferences before reaching out to them. However, more than half of job seekers in India have been contacted for jobs that don’t align with their preferences. To address these issues, Indeed’s Smart Sourcing aims to streamline communication and improve the matching process, leading to more relevant opportunities for job seekers.

    Indeed also recently launched Specialist Media Networks in India, designed to support employers in filling competitive and hard-to-fill job roles.

    Indeed launches media networks for tech roles in India

    Mumbai: Indeed, a global matching and hiring platform announced the launch of Specialist Media Networks in India, to help employers hire for competitive and hard-to-fill job roles. These industry-specific networks enable employers to reach more candidates with specific, in-demand skills through targeted advertising.

    Tech Network, the first of Indeed’s specialist media networks, is focused on enabling employers with more options to target and reach qualified candidates in the technology sector. In the last year, ‘technical lead’ was one of the hardest-to-fill tech job roles in India. Similarly, job positions such as ‘JavaScript developer’, ‘senior .NET developer’, and ‘senior technology analyst’, are also proving to be hard to fill. This is largely due to the limited talent pool with the right skill set who would be interested in niche tech roles. Tech Network allows employers to target jobseekers where they engage most, to attract the right talent in the competitive tech sector. By opting into Tech Network when sponsoring a job on Indeed, employers can attract millions of qualified technology professionals in a competitive hiring landscape – all within their usual Indeed Ads workflow.

    “In today’s rapidly changing job market, the demand for skilled talent is high in India. We are committed to simplifying the hiring process for Indian employers by providing them with new and efficient ways to fill critical roles more quickly and connect with highly qualified candidates who possess the specific skills they need. Our goal is to streamline the hiring process and make it easier for employers to find the right talent.” said Indeed senior product director Abhishek Dhasmana. “Our new solution provides employers with more options to target and reach qualified candidates, whether they’re actively job searching or passively open to new opportunities. This is just the beginning, based on the need and demand from other sectors, Indeed will launch other Specialist Media Networks.”

    Indeed has already collaborated with top tech platforms to distribute an employer’s job ads across more than 50 technology-specific sites, globally such as Stack Overflow, Amply, and HackerNoon. These sites receive over 500M total monthly visitors, providing additional visibility to an employer’s job ads. Employers using this network to hire are already receiving a significant rise in relevant applications, a 4.1X increase in relevant applications from skilled candidates.

    This product launch is in line with Indeed’s commitment to better support the needs of employers and job seekers in India. In the near future, Indeed plans to strengthen its targeting and matching capabilities and launch new AI-powered products to help employers hire more easily and quickly, streamlining recruitment across industries.
