“This is a significant win for Connecticut's economy and a testament to the quality of our workforce,” says Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy. “Indeed is an innovative, high-tech company that has been steadily growing services and adding hundreds of new, good-paying jobs, going from a handful of employees over a decade ago to 700 working in Stamford today. The company is now poised to significantly expand again, and we welcome the company's capital investment in our state and the growth of hundreds of high-quality jobs that will follow.”

Indeed's online job site connects job seekers to millions of employment listings in more than 60 countries and 28 languages. The website is utilized by more than 200 million people each month, according to the company.

Stamford Mayor David Martin says Indeed's decision to expand in the city shows that Stamford is attractive to tech businesses. “We have been working hard to make Stamford more business-friendly, and provide new residents and companies the opportunity to work, live, learn, and play in the city,” he says.

The company was founded by Paul Forster and Rony Kahan in Austin and Stamford in 2004. The firm, a subsidiary of Recruit Holdings Co., Ltd., employs more than 5,000 workers worldwide. In addition to its Austin, Stamford and New York City offices, the firm also has U.S. operations in San Francisco, San Mateo, CA and Seattle. Indeed has international offices in Amsterdam, Dublin, Düsseldorf, Hyderabad, London, Paris, Sydney, Tokyo and Toronto.

Dave O'Neill, Indeed's chief financial officer, says the firm found “a great talent pool in the State of Connecticut” that has allowed it to grow its operations there. “Our Stamford employees are the face of the company to hundreds of thousands of our customers, and helped lay the groundwork for our global expansion. It is a huge advantage for us to have access to a well-educated, tech-savvy employee population that is attracted by the high quality of life in the area,” he adds.
