Quick summary
Some employers let job seekers start a conversation through Indeed after applying. This feature only works if the employer turns it on. After you apply, you'll get a notification to let you know you can message the employer. In this article, we'll explain when you can send a message and how to do so.
Benefits
- Follow up on your application
- Share why you're a good fit for the job
- Introduce yourself
- Ask a question about the role
Important: This feature is not available for every job. The employer must choose to turn it on.
Sending a message
You’ll get an alert if the feature is available for a job for which you applied. There are three types of alerts:
- A 'Send a message' option on your My jobs page under the listing
- An email from Indeed inviting you to send a message
- A notification in your account
Did you know? You won't get these alerts right after you apply. There will be a short delay of at least a few days.
How can I send a message?
- Select the option to send a message in one of the three alerts.
- Enter your message in the text box.
- Click or tap Send to start a conversation with the employer.
What happens next?
Your message will be:
