Welcome to your new adventure as a home care agency owner! 🎉 Starting out can feel like juggling flaming batons while learning to dance the tango — but we’ve got your back.

One of the very first steps to get your caregiver hiring engine running is to create and verify your Indeed Employer Account. This is essential for posting jobs and receiving applicants through Augusta.

Let’s walk you through it step-by-step.

🚀 Step 1: Create Your Indeed Employer Account

1. Go to Indeed Hiring
   Visit 👉 https://indeed.com/hire
   Click “Post a job” — this kicks off account creation.

2. Fill in Your Info
   You’ll be asked to provide:

   • A business email address (try to avoid personal accounts like Gmail/Yahoo)

   • Your company name (exactly as registered)

   • Your phone number and company location

   • A password to secure your account

3. Optional: Post a Starter Job
   You can create a draft caregiver job post during setup — even if you’re not ready to go live. It helps speed up your verification.

✅ Step 2: Verify Your Indeed Employer Account

Once you’ve created your account, Indeed will need to verify your business before you can start receiving applicants. This is a standard step to keep the platform safe and trusted for job seekers and businesses alike.

🔎 What Happens Next?

• You’ll often be prompted to verify your account after creating it.

• In most cases, you’ll need to call Indeed’s employer support to complete the verification:

  • 📞 1-800-475-4361

  • Press 2 for Employer Support

  • Let them know you’re calling to verify your new employer account

📋 What You’ll Need to Provide on the Call:

To make the verification smooth and fast, be prepared to share:

• Your business name

• Your business address

• Your business phone number

• Your website URL (if you have one)

• A short description of your business type and services (e.g., “We’re a non-medical home care agency providing in-home caregiving support to seniors”)

• Your job title or description (if you’ve already drafted one)

💡 No website yet? Totally fine. If you don’t have a website, Indeed may ask for one or more of the following to verify your business:

• Your business license

• State registration documents

• Your business tax ID

• A copy of a recent utility bill tied to your business

• An EIN confirmation letter from the IRS

• Even a business card or flyer with your name and business details

Basically, any official documentation that proves you're running a real, registered business can help get your account verified.

⏱️ How Long Does It Take?

The call itself typically takes under 5 minutes. Once verified, you’ll be able to post jobs and receive applicants without delay.
