2. Update Your Careers Page with Augusta Smart Posts

To add your Augusta Smart Posts to your website’s Careers page, you’ll need to submit a support ticket to Home Instead Corporate 👉 here.

Before submitting your ticket, first:

• Log in to your Augusta Dashboard
• Click Copy Application Link (top right corner)
• Save your Augusta Application URL — you’ll need this for the ticket

When filling out the ticket:

• Select Need to Submit a Request > Website

• Under What do you need help with on your website, select "Augusta"

• In the Short Description, enter: Augusta Smart Posts

Suggested Ticket Message:

"Hi,

I’d like to update our website’s Careers page to include our Augusta Smart Posts.

Here is our Augusta application URL: <Insert Your Augusta URL here>
 

Let me know once it’s been implemented.
 

Thanks!"

3. Connect your Indeed Employer Account to Augusta

To allow your Augusta Smart Post jobs to appear in your Indeed employer account (for sponsorship), you need to connect the two systems.

This is done only once, and then you’re set for all jobs you post in the future!

Input the following information in your “Indeed settings” tab within your Augusta dashboard.  Here is a guide on how to do this

• Indeed Employer Account Owner Email
• Indeed Company Name (Source Name)
   

Once completed, email hello@augusta.care so we can verify your account is connected properly to Indeed.

4. Close Out Other Caregiver Job Postings

To comply with Indeed’s job posting policies, you must close out all caregiver job postings from other sources, including:

• ATS platforms (e.g., ApplicantStack, Hireology)
• Jobs posted manually on Indeed. 

💡 Heads-up: If you're working with a third-party marketing company that posts jobs on your behalf, be sure to let them know to pause or remove any active caregiver job listings as well.

This ensures Augusta Smart Posts are prioritized in search and avoids any risk of duplicative job listings. Learn more about Indeed’s posting policies

5. We’ll do the magic of connecting your Smart Posts to Indeed 

Within 24 to 48 hours of verifying your information and sending it to Indeed, your Smart Post jobs will appear inside your Indeed employer account. You’ll be CC’d on all communication with Indeed during this process.

Be patient — Indeed refreshes their job feed every 24 to 48 hours.

6. Sponsor Your Augusta Smart Posts on Indeed

Once jobs appear in your Indeed dashboard, you can sponsor them directly:

1. Go to your Augusta Dashboard > Smart Posts
2. Select a job
3. Scroll to the bottom and click Sponsor job on Indeed
4. You’ll be taken directly to the posting inside your Indeed Employer Account
