Indeed Hiring Events allow you to promote a specific date and time when multiple caregivers can interview with your agency—either in person or virtually.

This can help you generate more interviews at once, connect with caregivers looking for immediate work, and move qualified candidates into onboarding faster.

Use hiring events as an additional recruiting strategy alongside your Augusta Smart Posts, Indeed sponsorships, community recruiting, and regular applicant processing—not as a replacement for them.

Prepare Your Event

Before beginning, confirm:

• The job or jobs you are hiring for
• Your event date and duration
• Whether the event will be in person or virtual
• Who will conduct interviews
• How many interviews your team can support
• Any true disqualifying questions candidates must answer

For an in-person event, also confirm your location, arrival instructions, waiting area, and onboarding support.

For a virtual event, prepare a Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, phone, or other interview link.

Start the Event in Indeed

1. Sign in to your Indeed Employer Account.
2. Select Interviews from the left-side menu.
   • 
3. Open the Hiring Event Dashboard.
   • 
4. Select Create an event.
   • 

Choose Your Event Goal

Indeed will ask what is most important for the event.

For most caregiver hiring events, select:

• Finding more candidates, or
• Checking for specific qualifications

Enter the number of interviews you would ideally like to conduct and confirm that you will interview candidates during the event.

3. Select Your Interview Format

Indeed provides three options:

In-Person

Choose this when candidates will come to your office or another event location for interviews.

This format works well for open houses and walk-in interview events where candidates can meet your team and potentially begin onboarding that day.

Virtual – External

Choose this when candidates will interview through:

• Zoom
• Google Meet
• Microsoft Teams
• A phone number
• Your Augusta interview-booking link

For an event where everyone attends during one dedicated window, a shared meeting link is usually the simplest option.

You may use your Augusta booking link when candidates should select individual interview times. Before doing so, confirm that the event date and times are available on your recruiters’ Augusta calendars.

Virtual

Choose this if you want to host the interviews directly through Indeed.

Regardless of the interview format, make sure candidates complete your Augusta application so your team can continue managing them through Augusta.

Select Continue after choosing your format.

4. Select Your Augusta Jobs and Budget

Choose the existing Augusta job or jobs on Indeed that you want connected to the event.

Review the selected jobs and confirm that the title, location, pay, benefits, and job description are accurate.

Use Your Existing Augusta Jobs

Do not create a separate duplicate job directly through Indeed if your Augusta Smart Post is already active.

If you do not have an active job on Indeed:

1. Create an Augusta Smart Post. Learn how to do so here. 
2. Confirm your Augusta dashboard is connected to your Indeed Employer Account. Learn more here. 
3. Allow the job to publish through Augusta’s Indeed integration.
4. Return to the Hiring Event Dashboard and select that job.

Setup your Augusta x Indeed Integration

Add Your Event Budget & Campaign Name

Indeed requires a separate promotional budget for the hiring event with a minimum spend of $500 per event.

This is separate from the budget used to sponsor your regular Indeed jobs.

Set up your campaign name, such as:

Agency Name – August 2026 Caregiver Hiring Event

Then select Continue.

5. Set Up Your Interviews

Enter the date and time your team will conduct interviews.

Interview Time Slots

Select No if candidates can walk in or join at any time during the event window.

Select Yes if candidates should choose a specific interview time. Add the interview duration and the number of candidates your team can support during each slot.

For example, if two recruiters can each conduct one interview every 30 minutes, your capacity is two interviews per time slot.

Hiring Event Team

Add the team members who should receive event information or access the event.

Indeed may require participating team members to have their own Indeed accounts.

Event Instructions

The next questions depend on the interview format you selected.

For an in-person event, enter:

• Event location
• Full address
• Parking or arrival instructions
• What candidates should bring

For a Virtual – External event, enter:

• Your meeting link or phone number
• Clear instructions for joining
• What candidates should expect after connecting

Example:

Join the Zoom meeting during the event window. You may enter a waiting room while our team finishes another interview. A recruiter will admit you as soon as possible.

6. Connect Your Augusta Application

When Indeed asks whether candidates must complete an application before interviewing, select Yes and enter your Augusta application URL.

This keeps your candidates and hiring activity organized inside Augusta, including:

• Applicant information and qualifications
• Recruiting-source tracking
• Interview notes
• Applicant statuses
• Hiring and onboarding progress
• Reporting and integrations

Create a custom application link specifically for the event so you can measure its results separately from your regular Indeed applicants. Learn how to do so here. 

Name Your Event

Use a simple candidate-facing title, such as: Agency Name Caregiver Hiring Event

For the internal event identifier, use a consistent name such as: Indeed August 2026 Caregiver Hiring Event

7. Add Screening Questions and Publish

Indeed allows you to screen candidates before they RSVP.

Keep this to three questions whenever possible and no more than five.

Only ask about true requirements that could prevent someone from being eligible, such as:

• Work authorization
• Required certification
• Ability to travel within your service area
• Minimum scheduling availability

Avoid screening candidates out over information that could be discussed during the interview. The goal is to bring potentially qualified caregivers into the conversation.

Review the event and select Submit.

Indeed will review the event and notify you when it is approved and ready to accept RSVPs.

Promote the Event Beyond Indeed

Do not rely only on Indeed to generate attendance.

Share the event through:

• Social media
• Community organizations
• Schools and certification programs
• Flyers and Augusta QR codes
• Email and text campaigns
• Previous Augusta applicants
• Your Candidate Pool
• Former caregivers eligible for rehire

The Indeed campaign helps promote the event, while your broader outreach helps you reach more of your local caregiver community.

After the Event

Review:

• RSVPs
• Attendance
• Completed Augusta applications
• Interviews
• Offers
• Onboarding starts
• Final hires
• Cost per interview and hire

Use those results to improve the timing, promotion, staffing, and setup of your next event.

In Summary

Indeed Hiring Events can help your agency generate multiple caregiver interviews within one focused window.

Connect the event to your existing Augusta jobs, require candidates to complete your Augusta application, and continue processing them through Augusta. This allows you to benefit from Indeed’s event promotion while maintaining one consistent hiring workflow and accurate reporting.
