Sourcing Native

Truffle + Indeed

Indeed applications land in Truffle on their own, with the resume attached, ready to screen.

Indeed brings the volume. Truffle handles what comes next. Connect a position once and every Indeed application arrives on its own, with the resume attached and the candidate scored against your criteria. No app to install, no credentials to hand over, and nobody has to be online for it to happen.

What you can do

Built for the way you hire with Indeed

Every application imports on its own

Indeed emails each application to your position's Truffle import address. Truffle reads the applicant's name, contact address and attached resume out of the message and adds them to that position. Nobody has to be online for it to happen.

Indeed's relay addresses work

Indeed does not hand over an applicant's personal email. It gives you a per-candidate relay address instead. Truffle treats that relay as the applicant's address, so Indeed applications import rather than failing with no contact.

Failed imports say why

A message Truffle cannot read appears as a row in the position's import activity with the reason and what to do about it, instead of disappearing. If imports start failing, you get an email.

Filter the volume into a shortlist

Indeed's strength is volume. Truffle's match scores let you ignore the bottom of the pile and focus on the candidates who actually fit.

Or send applicants straight into Truffle

If you would rather skip the email route, point Indeed's Apply button at your Truffle application link so candidates start screening as part of applying.

Setup

Three steps. About five minutes.

  1. Turn on auto-import in Truffle

    Open the position, go to Get candidates, and turn on Auto-import applicants. Copy the import address it shows you. Every position has its own.

  2. Add that address in Indeed

    In Indeed, open the job, choose Edit job post, then Application method. Under 'Application updates and access to candidates on Indeed', click + Add email and paste your Truffle import address.

  3. Tick the individual-email setting

    On the same screen, tick 'Send an individual email each time someone applies'. This is the step that matters. Without it Indeed sends summaries instead of individual applications, and nothing imports. Save the job, then select Confirm.

  4. Make sure Indeed sends the resume

    Indeed only attaches a resume when the applicant provided one. In the job's application settings, choose the option that requires a resume, and in the application update email settings, turn on the option to attach it.

FAQ

Common questions about Indeed + Truffle

What do I have to install?
Nothing. There is no app, no marketplace listing and no plugin. You turn on auto-import for a position, and point Indeed at the address Truffle gives you. That is the whole connection.
Do I need my Indeed credentials?
No. Truffle never asks for your Indeed login and never signs in to Indeed on your behalf. That means there is no token to expire and nothing to reconnect when Indeed changes something on their side.
How much of this is automatic once it is set up?
All of it. Every application Indeed sends is imported on its own, with the resume when one is attached, and scored against your criteria. Nobody has to be online, and there is no sync to run or queue to watch.
Indeed emailed my import address asking it to create an account. Do I need to do anything?
No. Indeed sends that invitation whenever any address is added, including on correctly configured jobs. It only exists so a person could view candidates inside Indeed, and it has no effect on whether applications reach Truffle. Truffle shows you that it arrived so you are not left guessing.
Nothing is importing. What is usually wrong?
Almost always the 'Send an individual email each time someone applies' setting is unticked. Adding the address alone tells Indeed who to notify, but that checkbox is what sends each application. If a position has had nothing import for a few days, Truffle flags it.
Does this work with Indeed Apply and Easy Apply?
Both, as long as Indeed is sending an individual email for each application. The import reads the email Indeed sends, not the application flow the candidate used.
Will adding a screening step hurt my application conversion rate?
Adding a screening step does reduce applications-to-completion. The candidates you do get are pre-qualified, so most people find the trade worth it. Importing applicants does not itself add a step. Only inviting them to screen does.

We built an entire hiring metaphor to avoid saying “wait, don’t go.” Which is ironic because Truffle helps you get to the point with your candidate pool.
