Benefits of Advertising IDs

Advertising IDs are useful for a several cases:

  • You might have an opening that is 's based out of a small town in between two larger markets.  Create a couple advertising IDs showing the job based in the larger markets in an effort to drive more traffic.

  • The Opening may have a title that doesn't make it clear what the job role is - or that spans a couple of usual roles.  For example, such as a job that's a hybrid sales/marketing position.  You can create an advertising ID with a title of 'Sales' “Sales” and one of 'Marketing' “Marketing” to attract job seekers in both markets.

  • You may have an Opening (requisition) that hasn't been filled, but is getting stale.  Creating a new advertising ID helps drive fresh traffic.

  • You can set up your Advertising advertising IDs to automatically refresh after a certain number of days (cannot be less than 14 days).

Info

If you are sponsoring paid ads on Indeed, auto-refresh must be '0' set to “0” for the jobs sponsored.

Each time your job refreshes, a new advertising ID number is sent to Indeed. Indeed view views this as a new job posting and will drop your paid ad.

can’t I set auto-refresh for less than 14 days?

New jobs opening too frequently on job boards is behavior associated with misleading, shady job opportunity opportunities or a virus/hacker.  The job board vendors can (and will) set job postings to invisible or denied until further investigated.
