Global Partnership by Design
As the world’s #1 job site, Indeed operates across the globe, helping millions of people get jobs. With growth accelerating and collaboration at the heart of their mission, Indeed needed more than just AV systems—they needed a trusted global partner.
“Ford has really been a partner to help us along every one of our seasons—not just during massive growth, but also in creating more meaningful spaces. They’ve helped us naviage challenges, find the best solutions, and always focus on what’s right for our people, not just a specific brand.”
— Jeff Joseph, Senior Manager, Global Real Estate Technology, Indeed
Starting Early
Indeed’s rapid international expansion and evolving workplace strategy called for a scalable AV partner who could deliver high-performance solutions across diverse office environments—from huddle rooms to town halls—while maintaining global consistency. They also needed a partner who could engage early in the real estate process, engineer to specific standards, and adjust on the fly.
Global Deployment
Ford AV stepped in as a dedicated technology partner in 2017, quickly establishing trust through technical excellence, project execution, and unwavering consistency. What began as a local engagement in Austin, Texas, has grown into a strategic global partnership.
From Austin HQ to Sydney, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Dublin, London, Miami, New York, Chicago, India, Germany, Manila, and more, Ford AV has completed work in over a dozen countries, supporting Indeed’s AV needs with over $47 million in completed projects to date.
The partnership between Ford AV and Indeed offers many benefits.
Early Integration
Ford AV is engaged at the beginning of each new Indeed project, performing full design-build services, including all AV drawings, engineering, and system planning—before any equipment is purchased.
Global Consistency
Indeed relies on Ford AV to implement global AV standards, while also adapting them for regional requirements and budget realities.
Real-Time Communication
Every Indeed project includes a live, shared Zoom workspace connecting Ford AV engineers, PMs, and Indeed stakeholders across time zones—ensuring instant feedback and alignment.
Custom Engineering
Highlights include a one-of-a-kind retractable video wall at the Austin HQ town hall, which descends from the ceiling like a basketball goal—designed and tested over six months.
Workflow in Action
Indeed’s internal workflow begins with a detailed AV standard developed in collaboration with a third-party designer. Ford AV enters the project early, often before general contractors are engaged, to tailor those standards to the specific space, budget, and use case.
This agile process allows Ford AV to re-engineer spaces as needs shift—especially when designs evolve mid-project. “Indeed loves to tweak and optimize,” says Senior Engineer Jon Atkinson. “So we maintain detailed documentation and change logs for every revision, making it easy for their teams to justify and track updates.”
Ford also supports asset management goals by ensuring system performance can be remotely monitored—allowing Indeed to use data dashboards to determine usage patterns and guide future space planning.
AV Technology Solutions that Power Indeed’s Success
Ford AV delivers a wide spectrum of AV technology systems tailored to support Indeed’s dynamic workplace—from daily meetings to global announcements. These solutions help drive communication, foster innovation, and improve operational efficiency.
“As a team between Ford AV and Indeed, we’re not focused on specific brands—we’re focused on finding a problem, building a solutions around it, and making sure that solutions truly supports our people and how they collaborate.”
— Jeff Joseph, Senior Manager, Global Real Estate Tecnology, Indeed
