Step 6: "Application Settings"
Select how you would like to receive applications.
Keep in mind an application setting of "in person" will only provide contact information and NO resume.
You will be notified when job seekers apply. Add an email to let us know where you'd like to be notified.
Step 7: "Application Qualification" (optional)
If your ideal candidate needs to have certain experience, credentials or skills, you can specify these here.
When applying, applicants will be asked if they have what you're looking for.
Step 8: "Automated Assessment Types" (optional)
Select a ready-to-use assessment type that will be sent to applicants automatically when they apply.
After applicants complete their assessment, Indeed scores the assessment for you.

Step 9: "Preview Job"
If there are any changes you would like to make, make them here.
If not, you're ready to post your job!
Step 10: "Sponsor Job (Recommended)"
Sponsor your job for better placement in the search results.
“Sponsoring” your job means you’ll be accruing charges to keep the ad prominently displayed. Sponsored jobs are easier to find and see more applications than unsponsored/free ads.
More general information on Sponsored Jobs here. Learn about sponsorship costs here.
If you choose to post your job unsponsored/free, the ad will become increasingly harder to find as time goes by.
To post free, click “don’t optimize my job”
To be able to post free, you must advertise under the company name and the ad must read as if you are seeking to fill a position for one person.
