Hiring platform Indeed has recently revamped its user profile page, introducing an AI-powered tool to assist in detailing work experience and incorporating support for multiple resumes. Additionally, the company has unveiled a suite of intelligent recruitment tools aimed at enhancing the recruitment process, including AI-generated candidate summaries and personalized messages.
Owned by Recruiter Holdings, Indeed is enhancing its profile page functionality to stay competitive with platforms like LinkedIn, Talent.com, and ZipRecruiter. The new AI-driven work experience writer is designed to help users craft more comprehensive project descriptions effectively.
Moreover, users can now save up to five resumes on the platform, simplifying the process of tailoring applications for various job opportunities. These updates are set to be implemented soon, as announced by Indeed.

Previously, Indeed offered a feature to toggle profile visibility to recruiters, which is now being enabled by default and made easily accessible through the settings page.
Conversely, the company is rolling out a smart sourcing suite for recruiters to streamline the recruitment process by minimizing “irrelevant outreach,” ensuring that job postings align with candidate profiles. In addition to advanced search filters, recruiters can leverage AI-generated candidate summaries.

Indeed is also introducing AI-powered smart messaging and automated interview scheduling tools. The AI-assisted messaging feature empowers hiring managers to tailor communications with job seekers efficiently. During testing, recruiters utilizing the smart sourcing feature reportedly saved up to six hours per week.
Addressing concerns about biases and data accuracy, Indeed emphasized its commitment to responsible AI practices, with a dedicated team focused on mitigating potential risks.
In comparison, Indeed’s competitor LinkedIn has integrated AI across various functionalities such as learning, recruitment, marketing, sales, messaging, and profile optimization.
Deepti Patibandla, Senior Director of Product at Indeed, highlighted the company’s mission to streamline the hiring process and prioritize facilitating job placements. She emphasized Indeed’s commitment to guiding users towards suitable job opportunities while minimizing irrelevant job recommendations.
Despite a recent workforce reduction of 15%, affecting 2,200 employees, Indeed remains focused on optimizing its operations for future growth, as stated by CEO Chris Hyams during the restructuring.
