Indeed Apply Process

Release 3.7 - February 15, 2016

Upgrade to the Indeed Integration

As an add-on to BALANCEbTRAK's job application workflow, Berkshire clients may take advantage of Indeed Apply, through a system integration.

If Indeed Apply has been activated, Job Seekers who access your organization's job postings through Indeed may complete a "Quick Application," using their Indeed profiles, directly from the job posting. This method is particularly useful for Job Seekers applying via their mobile phones.

Each Berkshire client can choose to retain the current Indeed integration OR select the new, expanded Indeed Apply integration. Existing Berkshire clients will be given an opt-out period, and new clients will be asked whether Indeed Apply should be turned on. If you have any questions, contact your Berkshire Account Executive or Product Support.

How the Job Seeker will interact with Indeed

Default Indeed Integration

When the Job Seeker clicks the Apply Now link in the Indeed job posting, he or she is taken to the balanceTRAK form that is associated with the Job Page, typically a PRESCREENER or APPLICATION.

New Indeed Apply Process

When the Job Seeker clicks Apply Now in the Indeed job posting, an INDEED APPLY form displays. The form will collect contact information, a RESUME (required), and answers for up to five basic questions. The Job Seeker can store a profile within Indeed to assist with applying.

The Job Seeker will then receive an email receipt. A link in the email message will provide access for proceeding with the balanceTRAK application process, as it is currently established in the software.

Note: If a question is duplicated between the Indeed Apply form and the PRESCREENER/APPLICATION, the system will populate the answer for the subsequent occurrence.

Considerations for the balanceTRAK Administrator and Users

Below are some workflow considerations and impacts for the system Administrator and other users.

  1. The balanceTRAK application and notification processes will remain, with the software considering the INDEED APPLY form to be an initial form that precedes other forms. A tab will display for the INDEED APPLY form, under: Form Templates.
  2. Two default questions will appear on the INDEED APPLY form, but you may modify the Questions or add new ones up to system limits.
  3. Two templates for the Job Seeker's email receipt may be customized, based on whether the applicant is new Job Seeker or an existing one, at: Client Settings > Integrations > Indeed.
  4. The Job Seeker who completes Indeed Apply will display in BALANCEbTRAK's lists, based on system settings to show the Job Seeker when a form is completed OR when an APPLICATION is completed.
