FAQs: Opening an Indeed Account
You need to create an employer account to post jobs and manage hiring on Indeed. Read the following commonly asked questions about account requirements and what to expect before your jobs go live.
Account requirements
Question: Do you need to be a certain age to use Indeed?
Answer: Yes. To use Indeed, you must meet the minimum age for your region:
- European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, United Kingdom, Turkey, and Ukraine: 18 years or older.
- Japan: The minimum age permitted under Japanese law.
- All other regions: 16 years or older.
- If you're younger than 16, we must close the account and delete your data.
Question: Is Indeed for Employers available everywhere?
Answer: No. It is only available in select markets. Check our Terms of Service for current availability.
Account management
Question: Can I post a job immediately after creating my account?
Answer: No. Your job won't appear on Indeed until your account is verified (if required) and our Trust and Safety team has reviewed your job posting. We'll notify you by email when your job is live.
Question: I have two Indeed accounts. Can I merge them?
Answer: No. Merging accounts isn't supported. If your email is linked to more than one employer account, you can switch between them from the company menu in the top-right corner of your dashboard.
Question: I'm not a job seeker. Can I remove the job seeker account?
Answer: No. Your employer account must remain linked to a job seeker account for security and sign-in purposes.
Question: I can't bypass CAPTCHA. Can you help?
Answer: Yes, make sure cookies are enabled in your browser. Use the accessibility option shown directly on the CAPTCHA screen.
Question: Can I change the email address on my account? I used Google to create an account.
Answer: Maybe. Review Google's Help Centre for help on using a different email address.
Security and data
Question: Do you have resources on Indeed's security practices?
Answer: Yes. Visit our Trust Centre to learn more about Indeed's security practices and certifications, including SOC 2 and ISO documentation.
