Hi Evgeny, all accounts and jobs are subject to our standard reviewing process. The account has gone through our reviewing process and our team has concluded that we will not show these openings in our search results. The account will remain in its current disabled status. As the account has been disabled by Indeed you do not have the option to post a new position. Please note: Indeed may reject or remove any job and may disable any Company's account, for any or no reason. We cannot give every reason why a job or a company may be removed, and we always retain the right to remove any job, organic or sponsored, if we feel it is in our interest or our users’ interest. If you have urgent hiring needs, we highly suggest utilizing other hiring services. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

I received an email saying my account was disabled. I asked why, they asked me if I had used my account in Asia. I said no, has my account hacked. It has been almost 2 weeks and they have not answered me concerning if my account was hacked and if my personal information including my credit card was taken. It is very concerning that a company can not communicate what it going on with an account especially if they believe that it has been hacked. The security of clients information should be a high priority for a company.

As you can read from their reply - its always the same reply - Why do they not ask for documents before allowing you to sign up? Because they want you to pay to advertise, it is not a free service! It is Indeed a giant scam - ask their directors to show you their drivers licenses & documents first before providing yours.

If you read the reviews & replies from Indeed you can see what type of company this is. They make every excuse in the book. It seems they wish to cater only to fortune 500 companies & the little business man is not welcome on their site. They have the vaguest rules, in fact they can & will shut your account down if you do not apply to applicants within a day or so. Accounts disabled for no reason. You wont hear back from support. BEYOND DISGUSTING.
You post a job, one day it works, the next day it doesnt. Bad support, bad ethics and quite questionable. They want to verify all businesses posting on their site yet the company themselves act in a very shady manner.

I was getting back to candidates when all of a sudden they blocked the account. They say 48 hr review, which is basically you go into a black-hole, you are not getting your account back at that stage.

Unless you are prepared to spend thousands with them per month, do not use them!
It is not a free job board
It is a money making scam.
Poor support, poor communication.
Stay away

Reading Indeeds responses is painful. They make excuses, they make up the rules as they go. Mark my words, in time, they will lose their market share & they just need to read the reviews on this site to be reminded why it went downhill.

I am not waiting for them to review my account, I am shutting it down. PLEASE do not have anything to do with this scammy, slimy, shady, company that uses every trick in the book to throw at you in order for you to get your money. You must give them your bank account details, you must give them your LTD company number - who is this company to demand this?

They think they own the job market.

To explain, it is normal that all accounts will be reviewed as we must verify the connection between the account creator and the company they are hiring for. We must also ensure that our quality guidelines are met.

Please note: Indeed may reject or remove any job and may disable any Company's account, for any or no reason. We cannot give every reason why a job or a company may be removed, and we always retain the right to remove any job, organic or sponsored, if we feel it is in our interest or our users’ interest.

You can submit an appeal through your account. Please note that the review process typically takes 1 to 3 business days and our team will contact you when they have an update, or if they need additional information.

This is simply ridiculous response or rather excuse that our account currently is not accruing any costs to indeed, then whats the point in providing the relevant documents asked by your team and the ad posted was approved after reviewing from your team which went live then why are we are still getting this message " Your ability to post jobs on Indeed has been disabled".

Then why Indeed is keeping the "FREE JOB POST" option when you people want every customer to pay for posting advertisement in indeed. You people seems to be rather confused or making people confused as to what kind or type of job details or posting can be approved. Not a simply ads getting approved and just a robotic response we are getting that " Your account currently is not accruing costs, and this is a final decision".

Its a piece of advise on behalf of all the people/companies who are facing this kind of similar issue, Please if you people have little bit of shame let Remove the "FREE JOB POST" option from your website.

Nothing more is left we would never recommend Indeed to any rival companies nor friends to use indeed services and would post on other blogs about our bad experience with the services Indeed is providing the customers globally.

If you people think that the issue can be fixed or rectified then don't hesitate in calling back. Sorry for the bad experience.

Why don't indeed go off the market rather creating so much confusion or havoc in the market. People are not liking it at all they are getting more frustrated with you guys. Don't you guys go and check the reviews and complaints logged by the customer's or unsatisfied clients in the complaint forum or BBB or any other complaint sites/forum.

Hello Aarushi,

Thank you for contacting us. At this time, we can see you have worked to appeal this decision. Ultimately, Indeed has decided not to show your jobs as there is a job seeker fee required (which is not allowed on Indeed) as well as complaints from Job Seekers. For your reference, please see Indeed’s terms of service(https://www.indeed.co.uk/legal?hl=en&redirect=true#tos) and our Job Posting Best Practices.

No further action is required on your part. No additional details regarding this decision have been provided. I apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.
