Talos has a 'feed' setup with Indeed, where posts can be added to Indeed's job board for candidates to search and apply.

Read below for further information about this feed and what is and isn't supported.

What do I need to provide to set up organic posting on Indeed via Talos?

All we need is the link to your company page.

If you don’t already have a company page on Indeed just let us know the name you would like to be displayed. When you start posting adverts to your Careers Page the company page on Indeed will automatically be created.

You will then have the option to ‘Claim the page’ on Indeed and update the logo.

The display name of your hierarchy team needs to match exactly to the name on your indeed page (including capitals and spacing) you can up date this following the instructions here.

What do I need to do to sponsor roles which I have posted via Talos?

This is something which your Account Manager at Indeed will be able to help you with.

Just let them know that you are using the Talos Feed and would like your adverts to be available to sponsor within your account. If they have any questions, please feel free to loop us in and we can help.

How do I advertise a role on Indeed via Talos?

Simply post the role to Careers Page and Talos will do the rest.

What is Indeed Apply?

Indeed Apply allows the applicant to complete their application on Indeed, without being redirected to your careers page. This helps to reduce the drop out rate of applicants completing their application. Applicants will still complete all your questions on your application form, as long as the field type is supported by Indeed Apply.

What field types are NOT supported by Indeed Apply?

  • Checkbox

  • Education History

  • Employment History

  • File Uploads

  • Conditional Sections

How do I set up Indeed Apply on my adverts posted via Talos?

When saving your application form ensure the ‘Generate Indeed Json’ box is selected. When an advert is posted using this application form this will automatically send the information to Indeed and Indeed Apply will be applied.

Please note, the application form must contain only supported fields.

What adverts will not be posted to Indeed via Talos?

  • Adverts being posted directly to Indeed – this could result in duplicates and may lead to Indeed blocking your account.

  • Self-employed, commission only, internship, and volunteer roles will not be displayed on Indeed.

  • Adverts posted with a URL Redirect (if this is something which you need to do please contact Talos Support as we may be able to offer a different solution.

  • ‘Location Blasting’ – this is when the same role is advertised in multiple locations to gain more traffic for one advert. This is not allowed on Indeed and will be blocked from quality control.

  • Including anything other than the job title within the job title field can result in the advert being blocked by Indeed. For example, ‘Assistant Manager - Part Time’, and ‘Sales Executives Urgently needed’ are not allowed

What do I need to do if my account is blocked by Indeed?

You will need to speak to Indeed directly, if you have an Account Manager at Indeed, they will be able to advise why the block has been put in place.

If you do not have an Account Manager, the Indeed team will be able to help you by calling 0800 652 9825.

As this is your company and your account Indeed will not provide Talos360 with any information regarding your account. Should they require any technical information, or you would like our support we would be more than happy to help you.

How does Indeed determine the location of the role?

The postcode of an advert determines where the location is advertised on Indeed so the location of the postcode will take precedent over the Location field within Talos.

How does Indeed determine the salary of the role?

Talos will send the salary information to Indeed via the Talos Feed. If the salary has been hidden, Indeed’s algorithm will look within the advert text for a numerical figure, this will then be used as the salary.

Indeed does not support non numerical salaries, for example ‘Competitive Salary’.

Why is my advert showing as remote?

Job adverts with certain words and language patterns will be added to different display areas. For example, the mention of remote or home working within the advert copy, Indeed will display the location as remote.

How can I refresh the advert on Indeed via Talos?

A new advert would need to be posted on Talos, either through the ‘Post’ icon or ‘Copy’ on a specific role. Indeed will then view this as a new advert. Please note, reposting the advert will not show the role as new on Indeed.
