Indeed, Inc. is an American worldwide employment website for job listings launched in November 2004. It is an independent subsidiary of multinational company Recruit Holdings. It is headquartered in Austin, Texas, and Stamford, Connecticut, with additional offices around the world.[3] As a single topic search engine, its central functionality is also an example of vertical search. Indeed is currently available in over 60 countries and 28 languages. In October 2010, Indeed.com surpassed Monster.com to become the highest-traffic job website in the United States.[4]
The site aggregates job listings from thousands of websites, including job boards, staffing firms, associations, and company career pages. It generates revenue by selling premium job posting and resume features to employers and companies hiring.[5] In 2011, Indeed began allowing job seekers to apply directly to jobs on Indeed's site[6] and offering resume posting and storage.[7]
