A data-centric approach to the tech talent war
summary
Indeed uses measured experiments and products to win tech hires: the site runs 516 A/B tests at once with ~70% failing and 30% succeeding, and Indeed Prime delivers ~100 qualified candidates per employer each week with a ~60% positive response rate. A coding-challenge pipeline surfaces candidates in the top 5% nationwide, and an internal incubator (11 projects) moves 5 into production. A mobile Help Wanted app successfully adds real-world listings and drives searches for “Help Wanted” up sharply.
