The Importance of Indeed

Indeed is the #1 job site in the world with over 180 million unique job seekers visiting the site each month. So if your job postings are not on Indeed, think about the number of qualified candidates who are not viewing your jobs.

CareerPlug partners with Indeed to allow our users to advertise current positions directly on the site. Candidates will find your postings and click to apply via your CareerPlug account.

Here’s why we love Indeed:

Simple Search

The job search process can be incredibly overwhelming and tedious. With Indeed, a Google-like search engine for jobs, applicants find it easy to search. Applicants search by keywords, job titles, company name and by city, state or zip. And this is how it works for applicants around the world – no matter where they are, they search for what they want and where they want to do it.

Mobile Friendly 

In this market, more job seekers are using their mobile devices to search. Over 50% of Indeed’s traffic comes from mobile and their app has been downloaded over 46 million times globally. Employers who add Indeed Apply to their jobs make it easy for job seekers to apply through mobile.

Mobile job search is an essential part of the process since 59% of applicants believe they have a better chance of being considered if they apply as soon as the job posted. Applicants want the ability to search for jobs, save jobs, and receive alerts about job openings and Indeed’s mobile platform is built with this in mind.

Proven Results

Research has shown that Indeed is the leading source of external hires. According to a study by SilkRoad, Indeed is the primary source of interviews and hires with 52% of interviews and 54% of all external hiring coming from Indeed.

Chris Igou

VP of Business Development

Chris accidentally started a 20-year career in franchising when he was 18 years old and took a job painting houses for College Pro Painters. That job turned into the ownership of his first franchise (a house painting franchise). While at Monmouth College in IL, he operated his business, played on the varsity football team, and studied to become a teacher.

The taste of entrepreneurship and desire to coach others led Chris deeper into franchising, working with a few franchise brands helping them grow their businesses. He lived in the Chicagoland area his entire life until recently moving his family to Austin, TX.

In his free time Chris coaches youth sports, especially youth football, and spends as much time as he can with his wife and 2 children.

Native to Texas, Jenny graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2004 and joined CareerPlug in 2017. She retired her first career path as a Registered Dietitian after 10 years, and has found her true belonging in business operations.

As CareerPlug’s President, Jenny leads all teams to an aligned effort toward achieving our vision. She works to build healthy and scalable internal systems to equip and empower the CareerPlug teams to bring their best for our clients. She loves contributing new ideas and rethinking the status quo. Jenny really connects with the company’s core values, but especially with our intent to “Keep Growing.”

In her non-work life, Jenny enjoys time with her family, playing drums and performing with the Austin Samba School, and finding excuses to be on the lake.
