Aaron Pigeon
Aaron Pigeon is Senior Director of Product Management at Indeed, where he leads the company's job seeker profile products. He brings more than 12 years of experience in AI and ML product leadership, having joined Indeed in 2010 and built his career there through roles including Associate Product Manager, Product Manager, and Senior Product Manager.
Building the Matching Engine Behind Indeed
Aaron's team is responsible for deeply understanding job seekers, the preferences, pay expectations, and qualifications that often never make it onto a resume, so Indeed's AI can make sharper matches on both sides of the marketplace. His work sits behind two of Indeed's newer AI tools: Smart Screening, which automatically evaluates applicants against an employer's criteria, and Smart Sourcing, which proactively surfaces passive candidates before an employer ever posts a role. He is a vocal advocate for designing hiring processes that assume candidates are using AI rather than trying to ban it, arguing that interviewers should ask candidates to "show their work" instead. He is also an active angel investor through Full Outer Join Syndicate.
Topics Aaron speaks on
- How AI-powered sourcing and screening are changing hiring
- Designing interviews for a world where candidates use AI
- Why speed alone doesn't win the best talent
- Keeping human judgment central to hiring decisions
- Personalization and candidate experience in a competitive labor market
Sessions with Achieve
Aaron is a featured speaker on the Achieve webcast "The Future of Hiring: Building a Smarter, Faster, and More Personalized Talent Experience" (March 4, 2026), presented in partnership with Indeed alongside Dan Schawbel of Workplace Intelligence and moderated by Zech Dahms, President of Achieve Engagement. The session covered AI-powered sourcing and screening, candidate authenticity and bot detection, and why Indeed sees the optimistic case for AI as one that frees recruiters to spend more time actually talking to people.
