Solution

Indeed treats AI as core to its mission of helping people get jobs and uses OpenAI APIs across a growing set of hiring and job-search experiences. The company works with OpenAI on more than a dozen products and has embedded AI into recommendations, candidate matching, and agent experiences such as Career Scout for job seekers and Talent Scout for employers. Through Indeed Connect, Smart Sourcing, and Sponsored Jobs, the platform combines personalized recommendations with recruiter control so AI can accelerate sourcing and hiring without replacing human judgment. Internally, marketing teams use AI for creative generation and research, sales and client-success teams build agents for account planning and proposals, and more than 80% of engineers use agentic coding tools. Indeed backs that expansion with company-wide training, bottom-up sharing channels, hackathons, and contests so teams learn by shipping real use cases tied to business outcomes rather than isolated experiments.

Data flow

Job-seeker data, employer requirements, and marketplace signals flow through OpenAI-powered product experiences such as Career Scout, Talent Scout, Smart Sourcing, and Sponsored Jobs. Internal teams also feed sales, marketing, and R&D tasks into AI workflows, while employers remain the final decision-makers on hiring outcomes.
