Source-derived summary

Indeed, Inc. is an American multinational employment website for job listings launched in November 2004. It is an independent subsidiary of Japan-based company Recruit Holdings. It is headquartered in Austin, Texas, and Stamford, Connecticut, with additional offices around the world. Indeed is currently available in over 60 countries and 28 languages. In October 2010, Indeed.com surpassed Monster.com to become the highest-traffic job website in the United States.

The site aggregates job listings from thousands of websites, including job boards, others like staffing firms, associations, and company career pages. It generates revenue by selling premium job posting and resume features to employers and companies hiring. As a single topic search engine, its central functionality is an example of vertical search. In 2011, Indeed began allowing job seekers to apply directly to jobs on Indeed's site and offering resume posting and storage.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Indeed” as american worldwide job listing search engine. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2004, 2010, 2011—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2004-11. The account is most persuasive where Indeed, American and worldwide can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as american worldwide job listing search engine. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1045367. 2 of 6 selected statements include explicit references; 5 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2004, 2010 and 2011.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
