Disposition data is the information Indeed uses to track applicants' progress in Eddy as the hiring process unfolds. Statuses can include updates such as “job offer”, “rejected”, or “hired”.
What are the benefits?
There are several benefits to sharing your candidate progress (also known as "disposition data") to Indeed, including:
- Get more quality applicants for your jobs. Indeed says that the disposition data you share is aggregated and analyzed by the job seeker product team to improve the targeting of job ads and the application experience itself. That way, candidates better understand how the skills on their resumes meet your requirements.
- Earn an Employer Response Badge. This is a "Responsive Employer" icon that shows up on jobs in Indeed search results highlighting you as an employer that is highly responsive to applications from job seekers. Indeed says that the badge is a "valuable insight for job seekers as they decide which jobs to apply to".
Can sharing the data be turned off?
Yes, you can disable the data share with Indeed at any time. Indeed says that "Opting out of sharing disposition data means missing out on the benefits that contribute to overall job performance. This information is crucial for optimizing job performance through improved matching. Early data shows that jobs with disposition data enabled perform better, with a possible improvement of 30%. Additionally, employers who do not actively use disposition data won't be eligible for the "Responsive Employer" flag on their jobs."
Opting in or out
When you connect your Indeed account to Eddy (by entering your Indeed email address) we will automatically enable data sharing with Indeed. You can adjust this setting by going to Admin settings and clicking the Hiring page. You'll see on this page the option to disable or enable the toggle to "Share candidate disposition data with Indeed".
What info is shared with Indeed?
Eddy will only share disposition data to Indeed for candidates who applied to your job from the Indeed platform, and not from any other source. Examples of data sharing include:
- When a candidate is added from Indeed
- When you send a message to a candidate
- When a candidate is sent an offer letter
- When a candidate is hired
- When a candidate is rejected
Does the job candidate give permission to share this data with Indeed?
Yes. Job seekers who apply through Indeed agree to the platform's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, which define the relationship between them and Indeed.
In this process no Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is passed to Indeed. The data sent in Disposition Data cannot be used to identify a candidate in isolation; it includes a timestamp, an anonymized application ID, and the application status.
