Indeed Launches New Product Designed to Discover Top Tech Talent
Indeed Prime uses multiple criteria to match engineers, designers and
product managers with employers
AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Indeed, the world’s largest job site, announced today it has launched Indeed
Prime, a specialty job site that provides employers with top talent
based on coding skills, education and work experience. This product is
specifically designed to address the growing need for technical talent
in a variety of industries.
“It is increasingly competitive for companies to find the technical
talent they need as companies ramp up their demand for these
professionals,” said Terence Chiu, VP of Product at Indeed. “Employers
that use Prime will find talent that they wouldn’t normally see through
traditional university recruiting, staffing agencies and job postings.”
Indeed Prime hosts online coding competitions open to anyone authorized
to work in the U.S. to help discover hidden talent. The top performers
are highlighted to employers, showcasing candidates who have proven
technical capability. “Our data shows that some of our best performers
at the coding competitions are not necessarily from top engineering
schools,” said Chiu. “Prime shows employers a host of talented people
that may have been overlooked in the past. Combine that with the largest
network of job seekers and we have a constant pipeline of tech talent
for employers.”
“I was the only recruiter at my company tasked with hiring dozens of
positions, including the competitive roles of developers and product
managers,” said Katie Smith, HR Generalist at Sparefoot, a technology
startup based in Austin, who was part of the pilot. “Indeed Prime really
simplified my job by bringing me the best candidates quickly, allowing
me to make hires within a couple of weeks.”
Benefits to job seekers include:
-
Opportunity to break into a top technology company with strong
performance at coding competition -
Access to top technology opportunities at startups, technology and
Fortune 500 companies - Talent coach providing support throughout hiring process
- $5,000 signing bonus from Indeed
