What Does the Augusta x Indeed Integration Do?
Augusta's Indeed integration is built around Augusta Smart Posts, allowing your agency to manage jobs from one central location while automatically publishing them to Indeed.
Once connected, Augusta can:
- Automatically publish your Smart Posts to Indeed
- Sync job updates made in Augusta to Indeed
- Send applicant disposition data back to Indeed to improve candidate matching
- Support Indeed's latest ATS integration features and platform updates
- Enable free Indeed job posting through Indeed's ATS integration
- Support either Augusta Apply or Indeed Apply
- Allow you to sponsor your Augusta Smart Posts directly through Indeed
This helps reduce duplicate work while ensuring your recruiting process stays aligned with Indeed's latest platform enhancements.
Before You Get Started
Before connecting your Indeed account, you must first complete your Augusta Smart Posts setup.
This includes:
- Creating your Augusta Smart Posts
- Updating your website's Careers page to display your Smart Posts
This is required because Indeed expects the jobs published through Augusta to match the jobs displayed on your website.

Your Smart Posts also automatically support Google for Jobs, helping increase your recruiting visibility beyond Indeed.

How to Connect Your Indeed Account
Inside your Augusta Dashboard:

Your Augusta Smart Posts will now automatically publish to Indeed whenever you create or update jobs inside Augusta.
Choose Your Apply Method
Augusta’s Indeed integration supports two application experiences:
- Augusta Smart Post Apply
- Indeed Apply
Both methods keep applicants connected to Augusta. Regardless of which option you choose, applicants still flow into your Augusta dashboard, are screened using your Augusta Qualification Criteria, and move through your existing workflows and integrations.
The primary difference is where candidates complete their application and how that experience affects recruiting outcomes.
| Apply Method | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Augusta Smart Post Apply | Candidates leave Indeed and complete the application through your Augusta-powered Careers page. This gives them more exposure to your agency branding, job highlights, service area, caregiver testimonials, application coaching, and immediate interview booking. |
| Indeed Apply | Candidates remain on Indeed and apply using their Indeed profile. Augusta receives and processes the application behind the scenes, then sends qualified applicants a text message and email inviting them to schedule their interview. |
Based on the hiring outcomes we have observed across Augusta customers:
- Indeed Apply is averaging approximately 40% higher applicant volume from Indeed.
- Augusta Apply is averaging nearly 100% higher hire rates than Indeed Apply.
For most agencies, we recommend Augusta Apply.
Indeed Apply may be a good fit for agencies focused on maximizing applicant volume from Indeed. Augusta Apply may be a better fit for agencies prioritizing employer branding, immediate interview booking, and stronger hiring conversion.
Neither method disconnects your Augusta and Indeed integration.

Why Use Augusta's Indeed Integration?
Connecting Augusta with Indeed gives your agency the best of both platforms.
Better Candidate Matching
Indeed has shared that employers can strengthen their participation in its hiring ecosystem by integrating their recruiting workflows and sending applicant outcomes back through their applicant tracking system.
Augusta’s Indeed integration is hosted through Indeed’s Jobs API and sends applicant disposition data back to Indeed as candidates move through your hiring process.

This happens regardless of whether you use:
- Augusta Apply
- Indeed Apply
For example, Augusta can send signals as applicants progress through statuses such as interviewed, rejected, hired, or onboarded. These outcomes help Indeed better understand which applicants are a strong fit for your agency and can support improved candidate matching over time.
You do not need to use Indeed Apply for Augusta to send applicant outcome data back to Indeed. Both apply methods support this through Augusta’s Indeed integration.

Centralize Job Management
Create, edit, and manage your job postings in Augusta while automatically publishing them to Indeed.
More Free Job Visibility
According to Indeed's Free Job Posting Policy, employers posting directly on Indeed are limited to three free job postings per month in many countries.
This limitation does not apply to jobs published through approved ATS integrations like Augusta.
That means Augusta customers can continue publishing Smart Posts through Indeed's ATS integration without being subject to Indeed's monthly free posting limit.
Important: We still recommend sponsoring your most important jobs to maximize visibility and applicant volume.

Stay Current with Indeed
Indeed continuously introduces new recruiting features and updates to its ATS integrations.
Using Augusta's Indeed integration helps your agency stay aligned with these changes while continuing to benefit from features such as:
- Campaigns
- Smart Sourcing
- Smart Screening
- Candidate Scoring
- Resume Search
- Future ATS enhancements supported by Indeed
As Indeed evolves its platform, Augusta continues updating its integration so your agency can take advantage of new capabilities.
Next Steps
Once your jobs are publishing successfully, we recommend sponsoring your most important Augusta Smart Posts to maximize visibility and applicant volume.
