In this Itechguide, Victor teaches you how to perform Indeed job search. The guide covers steps for 2 methods to perform Indeed job search – from a PC/Mac or the Indeed App.

Option 1: Perform Indeed Job Search from a PC/Mac

How to Perform Indeed Job Search from a PC/Mac
  • Open Indeed.com* from a browser on your Mac or PC.
*When you click on the Indeed.com link above, you will be automatically redirected to the Indeed site for your country. For example, when I click the link, I am redirected to Indeed.co.uk.
  • Then, on the what field, enter the words that describe the job you are looking to find. For example, to find work from home sales jobs, enter work from home sales jobs and click the search icon on the right side of the what field.
You may enter a job title or some words that describe the job (called keywords). You may also enter the name of a company.

  • To filter your results by city, start typing the name of a city – Indeed search will auto-suggest cities based on the first word you entered. In this example, I want to search for WFH sales jobs in Newbury, Berkshire UK. Select the city you want to filter by.

  • Finally, to start the search, click the Find jobs button.
Once the results of your initial Indeed job search are returned, you can filter the results further. The filter options are beneath the What and Where fields – see the highlighted portion of the image below.

  • The first available filter option is by distance. The default is 25 miles from your location. This search filter option will be more effective if you create an account, sign in and enter your current location.
  • To change the jobs returned by distance, click the drop-down and select an option.
You can also filter your search by Salary, Job type, Location and Company.

You may also scroll down to check that the app selected the right country for you. If not, change it.
  • Then, scroll back to the top of the app. On the what field, enter a few words that describe the job you are looking for. You may also enter a job title or a company name. In this example, I want to search for customer service jobs.

  • The app also has an option to filter your job search by location – to filter by location, in the where field, enter the first few letters of the location name. The app will display some suggestions. Tap one of the suggested locations.
  • Once you have entered a job title, some words to describe the job or a company name and also entered a location, tap Find Jobs. Then, wait for the app to return results.
  • On the search results page, the app offers 3 filtering options. You can filter by Date posted, Salary or Job Category.
If you tap the Date posted drop-down, you can select to display jobs posted in the last 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, etc. The Salary drop-down offers you the option to display jobs within a salary range. Finally, with the Job Category drop-down, you can choose to display jobs in a specific category.
When you filter with the existing filter, the app may display more filtering options.
  • Finally, to view the details of a job in the search result, tap the job. You can also apply directly from the app.
