Indeed is an online job search engine and recruiting platform. Jobseekers search and apply for vacancies, upload a CV and set up alerts. Employers post jobs, sponsor listings, screen applicants and manage candidates through an employer account. The service is delivered as a web service and as mobile apps, with country-specific sites in many markets.
Indeed is headquartered in the United States (Austin, Texas, with a second main office in Stamford, Connecticut) and is an independent subsidiary of the Japanese group Recruit Holdings, which acquired it in 2012. For European users, personal data is handled by Indeed Ireland Operations Limited, with the Irish Data Protection Commission as lead supervisory authority; transfers outside the EEA are typically based on standard contractual clauses. Indeed does not state where data is stored, so a European organisation that processes candidate data in Indeed should review the data processing agreement and the transfer terms beforehand.
