Job search engine and hiring platform Indeed introduced its Sourcing Assistant, an AI feature that accelerates candidate discovery and outreach to deliver high-quality applicants faster, on June 15, 2026.
The launch was supported by an Indeed and Harris Poll survey revealing that 71% of hiring managers struggle with high application volumes. These review bottlenecks reportedly caused 93% to lose top talent to slow timelines and 72% to fear missing ideal candidates, though 81% noted better retention with proactively sourced talent.
Indeed said the Sourcing Assistant is integrated within the Smart Sourcing product and automates candidate identification and outreach. The company said the tool delivers pre-matched, active talent directly to pipelines,eliminating hours of manual screening each week.
