Indeed's recruiting ecosystem is evolving to focus more heavily on quality, employer engagement, and stronger matches between job seekers and employers.

As Indeed continues investing in AI and its candidate-matching technology, applications are only one part of the picture.

Indeed knows when someone applies to your job—but what happened next?

Did you contact them? Did they interview? Did you make an offer? Were they hired? Were they ultimately not selected?

Indeed Disposition Sync helps answer those questions.

When you use the Augusta x Indeed integration, Augusta sends supported candidate status and hiring outcome signals back to Indeed as you process applicants through your hiring workflow.

What Is Indeed Disposition Sync?

Disposition data is information about what happens to a candidate after they apply.

At a high level, a candidate's hiring journey might look like:

Applied → Interview Booked → Interviewed → Offer → Hired

Another candidate might follow:

Applied → Interview Booked → Interviewed → Not Selected

Indeed already knows the candidate applied. Disposition Sync helps Indeed understand what happened afterward and how far that candidate progressed through your hiring process.

Indeed refers to signals throughout the hiring process such as candidates being contacted, screened, interviewed, offered a position, hired, or not selected.

You don't need to worry about the technical status mappings behind the scenes—Augusta handles that as part of our Indeed integration.

Why Does Disposition Data Matter?

This is part of a larger shift happening within Indeed.

Indeed is increasingly focused on creating an ecosystem that connects quality job seekers with quality, engaged employers.

Think about the difference between these two scenarios:

Employer A: 100 candidates apply → Indeed receives little information about what happens next.

Employer B: 100 candidates apply → candidates are reviewed → interviews happen → offers are made → caregivers are hired.

The second journey gives Indeed much stronger information about whether the applicants it sent actually aligned with the employer's hiring needs.

According to Indeed, these ongoing hiring signals can help its systems improve future candidate matching and understand how candidates progress through an employer's hiring funnel.

It's a feedback loop.

Indeed sends candidates → You process them in Augusta → Augusta sends supported outcomes back to Indeed → Indeed learns more about your hiring results.

That's why disposition data is becoming an increasingly important part of participating in Indeed's recruiting ecosystem.

How Does Disposition Sync Work with Augusta?

The good news: Augusta handles the connection for you.

When you're using the Augusta x Indeed integration, supported candidate status changes can be sent back to Indeed as applicants progress through Augusta.

Some activity is automatically captured when it happens inside Augusta.

For example:

Candidate applies → Candidate books an interview

Other outcomes happen outside of what Augusta can automatically know.

For example:

Candidate interviews → You make an offer → Candidate is hired

That's where your recruiting team comes in.

You continue processing candidates normally in Augusta, and Augusta handles sending supported hiring signals back through the integration.

The easiest way to think about it: Indeed knows someone applied. Augusta helps tell Indeed what happened next.

What Does My Team Need to Do?

Keep your candidate statuses in Augusta up to date.

Augusta automates status updates when we can based on activity happening within the platform. However, Augusta can't know the outcome of an offline conversation, interview, or hiring decision unless your team records it.

For example:

This is why updating statuses shouldn't just be an end-of-month dashboard cleanup.

Update candidates as you process them.

Indeed specifically encourages employers to move candidates through their hiring stages consistently because continuous status updates provide stronger hiring signals than simply knowing an application was received.

Keeping your statuses current also gives you more accurate Augusta reporting about your hiring funnel.

Does This Work with Augusta Smart Post Apply and Indeed Apply?

Yes.

This is an important benefit of Augusta's Indeed integration.

Augusta supports sending disposition data back to Indeed when you're using either supported application method through our integration:

• Augusta Smart Post Apply
• Indeed Apply

You do not need to choose Indeed Apply solely to benefit from Augusta's disposition connection with Indeed.

Indeed's current Disposition Sync API supports disposition data for Indeed Apply and non-Indeed Apply jobs through supported application identifiers.

Your apply method determines the candidate's application experience. Your Augusta x Indeed integration allows the hiring feedback loop to continue.

What Information Is Sent to Indeed?

Disposition Sync is designed to communicate what happened to an application.

At a high level, that means hiring-stage information such as:

Applied → Contacted/Screened → Interviewed → Offer → Hired/Not Selected

Indeed's documentation explains that disposition updates can include an application identifier, the candidate's hiring status, and the timestamp associated with that status.

You don't need to manage this connection or manually send these updates to Indeed. Augusta handles the technical communication through the integration.

The Big Picture

Applicant volume tells Indeed that people are interested in your job.

Disposition data tells Indeed what happened to those applicants.

And that's becoming increasingly valuable as Indeed focuses on improving the quality of connections between job seekers and employers.

For your agency, the workflow stays simple:

1. Attract candidates through Indeed.
2. Process those candidates consistently in Augusta.
3. Keep their statuses accurate as they progress.
4. Augusta sends supported hiring signals back to Indeed.

Those signals can contribute to a stronger feedback loop between your agency, Augusta, and Indeed.

They can also support Indeed features such as the Responsive Employer Badge, which helps communicate to job seekers that an employer is actively processing applicants.

The important part for your team is simple:

Process candidates in Augusta and keep your hiring outcomes accurate. Augusta handles the rest of the disposition connection with Indeed.
