Indeed is no longer offer pay-per-application pricing effective Dec. 18, the company confirmed in a statement to SIA.

It had been rolling out the pay-per-application model starting last year and in April said it would be available to all employers in the US and UK.

Indeed’s statement also said employers with an Indeed Resume subscription will have immediate access to its Matched Candidates product.

Here is Indeed’s statement:

 “At Indeed, our mission is to help people get jobs, and we are committed to helping employers hire more quickly and easily. As part of this commitment, we have two updates to further help employers.

“Today, we are sharing that employers who have an Indeed Resume subscription will now also have immediate access to Matched Candidates. This will allow employers to not only search Indeed’s millions of résumés, but employers will also be able to instantly match and connect with candidates whose skills and experiences fit their job qualifications. This includes the option to invite qualified candidates to apply as soon as an employer posts their job.

“In addition, a core component of our commitment is our ‘pay for performance’ value, where employers are charged only when they see meaningful results. To uphold this commitment, we are continually exploring and testing innovative approaches. Pay-per-application (PPA) was one recent test aimed at providing greater value to employers. Over time, we found that this option required additional effort from employers and was not easy enough to support the different needs of employers. Starting Dec. 18, we have decided to no longer offer PPA. Our journey remains focused on delivering exceptional products to help both job seekers and employers.

“We look forward to continuing to test and learn to help employers everywhere hire faster and easier.”

In a separate note to SIA, the company said pay-per-application users will need to switch to pay-per-click by Jan. 15, 2024. Indeed also confirmed that pay-per-started application pricing will continue.
