Indeed, the global hiring and matching platform, today announced the launch of Premium Sponsored Jobs in India, a new offering designed to help employers connect with quality candidates faster and more effectively in today’s competitive hiring environment.
The launch comes at a time when Indian employers face growing challenges in securing talent faster, especially in high-demand sectors such as technology, BFSI, manufacturing, and retail. Indeed’s hiring insights show that 76% of employers find sourcing qualified candidates very or extremely challenging, while nearly half (45%) of job seekers say it takes too long to schedule interviews. Premium Sponsored Jobs is designed to directly address these challenges.
Sashi Kumar, Managing Director, Indeed India, said: “India’s job market moves fast, and employers can’t afford to lose great candidates to slow processes. Premium Sponsored Jobs is designed to give them an edge by helping them stand out, act quickly, and connect directly with the right talent.”
Key features available in India include:
Match with quality candidates by instantly connecting with job seekers whose skills and experience align with their requirements, and invite them to apply
Candidate Highlights: Accelerate candidate screening with time-saving AI features using candidate highlights that make it faster to connect with applicants.
Urgently Hiring label: Job listings can display an urgency tag, signalling to job seekers that the employer is actively hiring and making them more likely to apply.
Brand visibility: Employers can stand out in search results by adding their logos and visuals, helping job seekers better recognise and connect with their brand.
Premium Sponsored Jobs is designed to streamline the hiring journey, improve visibility for employers, and deliver more relevant opportunities to job seekers. Globally proven, employers using Premium Sponsored Jobs have seen significantly stronger outcomes compared to non-sponsored listings.
With this launch, Indeed continues its mission to make hiring simpler, faster, and more human for both employers and job seekers in India.
