Quick summary
You may have noticed that the application process is different for some jobs on Indeed. That is because there are two types of job listings. In this article, we will explain the differences between these two types of jobs and answer some common questions. We will also help you fix problems with the Apply now button.
Types of jobs on Indeed
Some employers post their jobs on Indeed. We take other jobs from external sources, such as the employer's website. Here is the difference between the two.
Apply on Indeed
The apply button opens the application process on Indeed.
- Apply without leaving Indeed.
- Save your application as a draft on Indeed and finish it later.
- Communicate safely with employers through your Messages.
- Track your application status in My jobs.
- Receive confirmation emails so you know your application was submitted.
Apply on the company site
Does the apply button bring you to a different site? It is like we scan the World Wide Web for jobs and pull them into your Indeed search results.
- Indeed will redirect you to the employer's applicant tracking system (applicant tracking system).
- You will use your personal communication channels to keep the employer updated.
- You will not receive communication from Indeed about your application status.
- Employers may communicate with you through their hiring platform. They may also email you.
