00:00And by the end of 2004, Indeed, Calm had over 1 million job listings.
00:05Indeed, Calm had become one of the largest job search engines in the United States
00:09in less than one year of launch.
00:12The reason for this was that, Indeed, Calm was aggregating job listings from all over the web.
00:17Instead of depending on a handful of job boards for listings, Indeed,
00:21Calm was pulling from over 200 different sources,
00:24including company websites, job boards, and classified ads.
00:27This allowed job seekers to see all the available jobs in one place, making Indeed,
00:33Calm much more useful than other job search engines.
00:36Seeing this success, Paul and his team decided to expand Indeed, Calm to other countries.
00:41The first country they expanded to was the UK.
00:43In February 2007, Indeed, Calm UK went live with over 30,000 job listings.
00:50Since then, Indeed, Calm has expanded to over 60 countries
00:54and is now one of the most popular job search engines in the world,
00:58with over 250 million unique visitors each month.
01:02So how does Indeed?
01:03Calm make money if it's free for job seekers?
01:06Well, Indeed, Calm makes money by charging employers for each application they receive.
01:11Employers can post jobs on Indeed, Calm for free,
01:14but if they want to receive applications through email, they have to pay a fee.
01:18The price depends on factors like the number of applications received,
01:22the location of the job,
01:24and whether or not the employer has an Indeed, Calm account.
01:27As you might have guessed, Indeed, Calm has faced its fair share of challenges.
01:32One of the biggest challenges is staying ahead of the competition.
01:35There are always new job search engines popping up,
01:38so Indeed, Calm has to constantly innovate in order to stay ahead.
