You can receive messages from employers directly on Indeed via Messaging. During your job search, it’s possible that you may receive a message containing inappropriate, misleading, or concerning content. It’s important to report the message directly on Indeed in order to protect yourself.
Types of Conversations to Report:
Advertisements
Messages that appear to be advertising services, or promoting a company or app and not about specific job or employment opportunities.
Discriminatory or Offensive
Messages that appear to discriminate based on gender, age, race, religion, disability, or any other characteristic may be reported with this option. Additionally, you may report conversations that have inappropriate or explicit content.
Fraud
Messages that appear to be fraudulent or relating to scam activity. These messages may ask for personal, financial, or other information.
Misleading
Messages that have inaccuracy around the job title, description, salary, location, or other requirements. These may not be in violation of our quality standards but may have some information that should be updated.
Other
Messages that don’t fall under a previous category, and are not specific job or employment opportunities. If you’re not sure what type of message you received, please send your feedback with a brief description to Indeed, and we will investigate promptly.

If your report is reviewed and the conversation is found to be in violation of any Indeed guidelines, the job post may be removed or edited.
