Documentation tips

-   Sponsored job posting spend on Indeed is fully deductible as a recruiting/hiring expense — categorize it under 'Recruiting' or 'Professional Services' in your chart of accounts.
-   If you pay for multiple job postings in a single billing cycle, request an itemized receipt from Indeed to match spend to specific open roles for job-cost tracking.
-   Indeed charges on a pay-per-performance basis, so monitor your monthly spend closely — unexpected click volume can lead to budget overruns that are hard to reverse.
-   Recruitment costs like Indeed ads are deductible in the year incurred, even if the hire doesn't start until the following tax year.
-   Keep records of which postings led to successful hires — useful if your CPA needs to distinguish recruiting expenses from other professional service costs.
