  • We use both automated systems and human review to help find fraudulent job postings.
  • We also provide a clear and easy way for users to report suspicious jobs to Indeed.
  • To report a job posting, click or tap the Report job button at the bottom of the job post.
  • For more details, check our Jobseeker Help Center article on reporting a job.
