Indeed Launches New Platform Designed to Discover Top Tech Talent in Ireland

Indeed, the world’s largest job website has announced it has launched Indeed Prime, an online careers platform that provides employers with top talent based on coding skills, education and work experience. The product is specifically designed to address the growing need for technical talent in a variety of industries.

“It is increasingly competitive for companies to find the technical talent they need as companies ramp up their demand for these professionals,” said Raj Mukherjee , SVP of Product at Indeed. “Employers that use Prime will find talent that they wouldn’t normally see through traditional university recruiting, staffing agencies and job postings.”

Indeed Prime hosts online coding competitions to help discover unknown talent. The top performers are highlighted to employers, showcasing candidates who have proven technical capability.

“Our data from the US shows that some of our best performers at the coding competitions are not necessarily from top engineering schools,” said Mukherjee. “Prime shows employers a host of talented people that may have been overlooked in the past. Combine that with the largest network of job seekers and we have a constant pipeline of tech talent for employers.” 

Benefits to job seekers include:

• Opportunity to break into a top technology company with strong performance at coding competition;

• Access to top technology opportunities at startups and large companies;

• Talent coach providing support throughout hiring process;

• Privacy, so your current employer cannot see you’re currently in the Prime marketplace;

• Two-way salary transparency;

• Access to the most jobs online through Indeed’s network.

Benefits to employers include:

• Curated list of top candidates;

• Diverse candidates including coding competition standouts, experienced engineers and recent graduates;

• Access to the most job seekers through Indeed’s network;

• A weekly updated supply of responsive, top tech talent;

• Vetted, superior tech talent using coding assessments, work experience, project accomplishments, academic affiliations and profile reviews;

• Unlimited tech hires with the Prime subscription plan;

• Delivery of quality candidates via unrivalled access to the world’s #1 hiring platform, Indeed.com.

Mukherjee continues:  “At times, the traditional job application process can be inefficient and feels like applying into a black hole for candidates. Prime gives control back to job seekers, letting them decide which companies they would like to hear from. This fundamental pivot makes it appealing to the most sought-after talent in the industry. Crucially for this group, it’s free to use, simple and fast.” 

Indeed Prime is currently available in Dublin, London and a number of cities in the US.
