Why Dispositions Matter: Indeed Disposition Sync

Dispositions within an ATS hold an incredible power that you might not realize. Yes, dispositions help others on your team - or even yourself - identify why an applicant is or isn’t a good fit for the position. But did you know there’s another powerful reason dispositions matter? This information can be communicated back to job boards to help the job boards better target and identify more accurately fitting applicants.

What is Indeed Disposition Sync?

Indeed Disposition Sync is a feature that helps improve the quality of applicants you receive from Indeed. It works by sending updates about your hiring process back to Indeed. Example: when a candidate is interviewed, disqualified, or hired.

This shared data helps Indeed learn which types of candidates are a good fit for your jobs. This allows Indeed to send better-matched applicants to your jobs in the future.

Is the ExactHire ATS Integrated with Disposition Sync?

Yes! As a Gold Partner of Indeed, ExactHire automatically includes Disposition Sync for all clients, no extra setup is needed.

How does Indeed Disposition Sync work?

When you update the application stage or disqualification label for an Indeed applicant in your ExactHire ATS (e.g., Interviewed, Disqualified, or Hired), that information is sent securely back to Indeed. This includes:

  • The new status of the application
  • An anonymized application ID
  • A time and date stamp

This data is sent automatically behind the scenes and does not require any extra steps from your hiring team.

What are the benefits of using Disposition Sync?

    • When you consistently update the application stage and/or disqualification label  in your ATS, your job ads may display the Responsive Employer Badge on Indeed. This badge signals to job seekers that your company is engaged and responsive, making them more likely to apply.
    • To qualify, you must:
      • Use a Disposition Sync-enabled ATS (like ExactHire)
      • Update over 50% of your Indeed application stages and/or disqualification labels 
      • Have a verified Indeed employer account
  • Attract Better-Matched Applicants
    • Sending disposition data to Indeed helps improve how Indeed matches applicants to your jobs

    • Indeed analyzes your hiring activity to:
      • Improve job ad placement and ranking
