100Hires connects to Indeed so you publish jobs to the world's biggest job board from inside your ATS, and every applicant flows straight into your pipeline. Indeed is one of 13+ boards 100Hires posts to, with no per-board fee and no second dashboard to babysit. This page covers how the Indeed integration works day to day, what stays free, what actually costs money, and what happens after Indeed sends you a flood of applicants.
Indeed sends you reach, not a shortlist
Indeed's reach is the whole point and also the problem. Post one role and you can open your inbox to far more applications than you can read, most of them nowhere near the requirements and a handful worth a call. The screening burden lands on you. And if Indeed is also where you track and message people, your hiring data sits on a board you do not control, so the day its algorithm or pricing shifts, your pipeline shifts with it.
An Indeed ATS integration fixes both halves: Indeed keeps doing what it is good at, sending volume, while a real ATS catches that volume, lets AI score and rank it down to a shortlist, and keeps the candidates as yours. That AI layer is the whole point of routing Indeed through 100Hires rather than living in Indeed's own tools. Here is how it works.
What is free, what costs money, and who bills you
Posting to Indeed through 100Hires does not quietly turn into a bill. The organic listing is part of your plan; sponsoring is an optional, separate spend that goes to Indeed, not to us. The table makes the split clear.
Does Indeed have its own ATS, and why route through 100Hires
Indeed gives you built-in tools to collect and message applicants, which is fine for a single one-off hire. But Indeed is a job board first. Teams that try to run real hiring on it hit the same wall: you do not own a searchable candidate database to re-engage later, the built-in tools are thin for managing a multi-stage pipeline, and your whole funnel depends on one board's rules.
With the 100Hires Indeed integration you get Indeed's reach plus an ATS that is yours: pipeline stages, Evaluation Forms your whole team scores on, self-scheduling links, nurture campaigns, and a candidate database you keep. Indeed finds the people; 100Hires is where you decide.
100Hires and Indeed versus Indeed's built-in tools
Where 100Hires is not the answer: if you make a single hire a year, Indeed's own tools may be enough, and sponsored placement is always paid to Indeed at rates Indeed sets. 100Hires runs the organic posting and everything after the click. To push the same role to every board at once, read posting a job to multiple job boards, or see the full guide to multiposting and Satellite Jobs for cloning one role across many cities.
