What is the hiring process at Indeed?

The interview phases vary, depending on the role you apply for. All roles have two or more interview stages: a phone screening with a recruiter, followed by a video or onsite interview(s).

The questions during the interview phase vary from team to team, but all interviews have a strong focus on your background and work experience.

Indeed wants to hear your thought process during the interview stage. It encourages you to "think out loud." There are many questions about why you did something in your career history or personal experiences.

The company encourages you to ask questions too. If you don't understand something, ask the interviewer to repeat it.

It also wants you to state your assumptions when the questions pertain to problem-solving. In some interview scenarios, the interviewer provides more clarity or offers different assumptions while you attempt to solve the problem they've posed.

Indeed encourages candidates interviewing with the company to stay calm and positive. Don't fret if you make a mistake. The company values the humility it takes for you to acknowledge your mistake and sees it as a skill, not a weakness.

Here are some questions to expect in your interview with Indeed:

• Tell us about your special skills and/or qualifications.

• What previous positions have you held and what did you learn?

• How many years have you been in your field?

• Where did you attend college? What was that experience like for you?

• Do you have experience working in tech or career search experience?

• What do you know about Indeed as a company?

• Do you know what the business model is for Indeed?

• Can you describe an experience when you had to deescalate a scenario?

• Do you work well on a team?

• Why should we hire you over another candidate?

Certain roles at Indeed require you to take assessment tests and give presentations. Others may require you to present your portfolio of work.

Indeed asks all candidates to complete a basic background check during the hiring process.

The entire length of the hiring process ranges from a couple of weeks to a month.
