Strategy & best practices for posting on Indeed
Posting on Indeed is just step one. Here are the strategies that actually drive applicant volume:
Add a compensation range. Don't leave the comp range blank. Job seekers filter by compensation, and a blank range will dramatically shrink your reach. Be explicit in the job description that the role is commission only so candidates aren't surprised.
Plan to pay to boost your post. Indeed's algorithm classifies real estate agent (and other commission-only sales) roles as low-quality because they are commission-only and contract-based. Organic (free) posts will return very few applicants. You almost always need to pay to boost commission-only sales roles — this is true across all industries, not just real estate. Indeed will try to upsell you on paid boosting during the posting flow; plan to use it.
Refresh your post approximately every 30 days. Indeed is designed for full-time, hire-and-done roles; brokerages are always recruiting. You'll see a burst of applicants in the first 1–2 weeks, then volume drops. Stale posts get deprioritized. When you refresh, vary the content (headline, message, job target, office location) so Indeed's duplicate-detection algorithm doesn't suppress the new post.
Set up an automated follow-up campaign. In Brokerkit, go to Campaigns → Library and search for "jobs" to find a starter template for following up with job posting candidates. Customize it with your collateral (videos, documents, lead gen info) and add a Calendly/Cal.com scheduling link so applicants can book a call. For fully automated triggering, create a Campaign Trigger with source = "Job Posting".
Call applicants quickly. Speed to lead matters. The longer you wait, the lower your conversion. Applicants who uploaded a resume are hand-raisers — they want a conversation.
