Deep Release: Indeed.Com Integrated With Leading Job Posting Systems, Providing Recruiters With Added Visibility and Applicant Tracking
Employers and recruiters can include their jobs on Indeed with just a click.
Indeed.com, the most comprehensive search engine for jobs, has been added to four additional industry-leading applicant tracking and job distribution systems. Employers and recruiters may now include their jobs on Indeed directly from the systems they use every day, while also benefiting from critical applicant tracking metrics. The four partners that have recently added Indeed are:
These four services deliver a feed of jobs directly to Indeed, keeping their clients' listings fresh and relevant for Indeed's millions of users. Advanced tracking allows each system to monitor the job seeker traffic provided by Indeed and report those metrics back to their users.
"Indeed's inclusion in these leading systems helps both employers and job seekers," said Paul Forster, CEO of Indeed. "Employers benefit from added visibility for their jobs, a high volume of targeted candidates and precision applicant tracking, while job seekers get an even more comprehensive job search experience on Indeed."
"Based on our candidate traffic reporting metrics, Indeed – by far – outperforms all others in their arena for candidate responsiveness to posted positions," said John Malone, President and CEO of eQuest (www.equest.com), which integrated Indeed in June 2006. "We highly recommend Indeed to our customer base."
Indeed continues to work with other leading applicant tracking (ATS) and job distribution (JAD) systems to determine the best ways to include their clients' jobs on Indeed and meet the needs of their users. Indeed also offers integration of its pay-per-click job advertising system to applicant tracking and job distribution partners, so jobs may easily be sponsored on Indeed through these services.

Deeper Release:
John S. Irons on March Employment Numbers
Broader market may be experiencing only minor spillover from the housing sector
The housing market decline and the associated home-lending market troubles continue to loom over the broader U.S. economy. The effect of the housing market decline is still largely unknown, but today's release of new employment data shows some strength remains in the broader labor market.
The economy created a net of 180,000 new jobs in March 2007, up from a revised 113,000 new jobs in February, according to the new Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Yet manufacturing employment continues to decline with a drop of 16,000 jobs in these sectors. Non-residential construction and service providing sectors did see gains over the past month, but there was no increase in residential construction.
The March numbers show a welcome increase, but job market growth still continued on a mediocre upward trend. Monthly job growth averaged 152,000 during the first quarter of 2007, which shows a decrease from the average of 189,000 new jobs per month in 2006 and 212,000 new jobs per month in 2005.
The unemployment rate remained essentially unchanged, falling by 0.1 percentage points to 4.4 percent. This slight change was due to an increase in employment complimented by a decrease in the number of people unemployed.
Residential Construction
Employment in the residential construction industry peaked in September last year and continues to remain weak. The number of people employed last month held roughly constant with a decline of just over 1,000 jobs last month, as shown in the figure below. Yet this change brings the total job loss in the residential construction industry 27,800 jobs, or 2.7 percent, since the peak last year.
Growth areas
Some areas continue to grow despite labor market weaknesses. The health care industry added 29,500 new jobs in March. The leisure and hospitality industries, including restaurants and hotels, added 21,000 new jobs. And the service sector as a whole increased employment by 137,000 last month.
Labor force participation
The labor force increased by 195,000, and the number of people classified as out of the labor force increased by 5,000 last month. The number of people unemployed also decreased by 141,000, which combined with an increase in employment brought the share of the population currently employed slightly up to 63.3 percent, still well below the peak of 64.7 percent prior to the last recession.
Conclusion
The data overall continue to indicate a somewhat stable, but unspectacular, labor market. These employment numbers show that the broader market may be experiencing only minor spillover from the housing sector, but the full extent of the damage may still be to come.
John S. Irons is the director of tax and budget policy at the Center for American Progress.
