Best for

Employers prioritizing employer branding, reputation management and candidate research, especially those already advertising on Indeed.

Employers of any size needing high-volume candidate reach and applicant flow across a very broad talent pool.

Strong when

You want to manage and respond to reviews, showcase branded content and run employer-branding ads across the Indeed and Glassdoor network from one place.

You want performance-based, budget-controlled distribution plus optional proactive sourcing and outreach.

Validate before buying

Since the 2026 merger, branding and job posting run through Indeed's terms and login, and standalone Glassdoor purchasing is largely superseded by the Indeed-integrated model.

Free postings are capped at three per month, Sponsored pricing varies by market, and reviewers cite volumes of unqualified applications via easy apply.

Pricing

Quote-based: subscription employer branding (Employer Branding Hub / Enhanced Profile) plus performance-based sponsored jobs distributed through Indeed.

Performance-based Sponsored Jobs (pay-per-click or pay-per-started-application) with budget controls; up to three free jobs per month.

Implementation

The employer profile is free to claim; premium branding is a subscription and job ads are sponsored through Indeed.

Self-serve posting via the employer dashboard, with ATS integration via ATS Sync, Job Sync API and Indeed Apply.
