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 jobseeker. Can I remove the jobseeker account?

Answer: No. Your employer account must remain linked to a jobseeker 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.
