Redefining Talent Matching at Scale
Sliders.AI could be highly profitable for Indeed over the next five years—improving both the frontend (user experience) and backend (data and AI infrastructure). The model draws from parallel wins seen with platforms like Meta, Walmart, and Zillow.
Frontend (User Experience Layer)
1. Improved Job Matching
Sliders let job seekers express nuanced preferences like “mission-driven,” “remote-flexible,” or “low-stress,” instead of relying on blunt filters. This drives stronger engagement and placement accuracy.
Boosts:
- Application rates
- User retention
- Time-on-platform
- CTR on job postings
2. User Trust and Control
Sliders give job seekers more agency, which:
- Enhances brand trust
- Attracts Gen Z and Millennials who demand clarity and transparency
Backend (Data and Intelligence Layer)
1. Clean Preference Signals
Instead of guessing from searches or clicks, Indeed gets structured, labeled data about what job seekers actually want.
2. Better Employer Insights
Slider-informed analytics improve how postings align with candidate motivations.
Benefits:
- Posting effectiveness
- Recruitment efficiency
- Lower cost per hire
3. Training for AI Systems
Structured slider data fuels smarter recommendation engines and helps Indeed evolve into a truly AI-native hiring platform.
