Special Job Posting Types

Tailored applications 

Your job post may not need sponsorship if:

• It matches one clear, specific job
• It lists more than one available shift for the same role
• You split several roles into separate job posts
• You use plural job titles (for example, 'Servers' instead of 'Server')

General recruitment and applications

Your job post may need sponsorship if:

• It is for a specific role, but leads to a general application
• It promotes several different jobs in one post

Job fairs, hiring events and career fairs

Posts that promote or advertise hiring events must be sponsored or submitted through Indeed Hiring Events (IHE). Single employer events do not require sponsorship.

Advertising your event

• Applies to posts created for the event itself, like 'Hiring Event: Retail Roles.'
• These rules apply to all event ads, even when the event is not managed through IHE.
• The job-title, description and location must describe the event, not a single job.

Individual jobs in Indeed Hiring Events

• Jobs that are part of an IHE (for example, 'Sales Associate' at a hiring fair) must still follow all job posting rules.
• The job-title and location should describe the specific job, not the event.

Platform and app-based gigs

What are gig opportunities?

Gig opportunities are short-term or task-based jobs that workers choose one at a time. These can be single tasks, shifts or ongoing projects. Workers can accept or decline tasks at any time. These jobs are usually offered through apps or websites that connect clients and workers.

Common features of gig platforms:

• The platform guarantees payment between the client and the worker.
• Work is temporary and may change from week to week.
• Workers choose their schedule and can work as much or as little as they want.
• The clients are usually individuals.

Post corporate or office-based roles for gig platforms as regular jobs. These are not gig opportunities.

Allowed

We allow real, task-based or shift-based gig jobs where:

• Workers can choose which shifts or tasks to take
• The platform guarantees payment and supports real work
• The platform is already active in the job's location

Examples include:

• Delivery or ride-share apps that operate in your region
• Task-based apps offering paid household or online work

Not allowed

• Platforms focused on renting, lending or selling goods. Examples are Airbnb, Turo, Etsy or OfferUp
• Marketplaces that do not create paid work between workers and clients
• Apps that have not launched yet or do not have active jobs in the posted location.
• Referral code posts or posts used for personal promotion or financial gain
• Posts that advertise platforms only, without real work available
• 'Passive income' offers, fee-based opportunities or personal referral links
• One-off tasks that offer a reward for a single action (for example: taking a single survey for a gift card)

AI training gigs

Requirements

• The job-title must include 'AI Trainer' (or a similar term).
• The salary field should show the average pay per task.
• If the post does not use Indeed Apply, the link must go to the platform's sign-up or task page.
• The company name must be real and specific, not generic.
• The job must meet all gig platform requirements
• Only post where real work is available

Not allowed

• Confidential or generic company names
• Jobs in places where the platform has no active work
• Third-party forms like Google Forms for applications

If we removed or hid your job post:

• Check if the post meets the requirements above.
• Contact Indeed Support if you believe we removed your post by mistake.
