Why Is There an Indeed Email on My Resume?

Quick summary

We provide job seekers with an auto-generated Indeed email address to communicate with employers on Indeed. This alias helps protect your email and keeps you safe from spam or fraud. Don't worry; emails from employers still go to your email inbox.

How it works

Creating the alias

We make your alias using the name linked to your email account. It looks something like this: 'abc@indeedemail.com'.

Using the alias

When you apply for a job on Indeed, we hide your email. Instead, employers see your Indeed email alias. Emails sent to your alias go to your Indeed Messages and email inbox.
