I noticed when I downloaded a resume to myindeed account I selected viewing preferences for all to see but my contact info such as email address, street address, phone, etc.. are hidden. Does this mean a prospective employer cannot contact me if my resume is of interest? Why post the resume if an employer cannot do a headline search and contact you? Can they contact me through my personalized indeed link? Or is indeed just for people looking for jobs and not a site for employers to find people?

Hello Beuchamp,

We are currently testing features that allow employers to contact you through Indeed. Please stay tuned for further Indeed Resume options.

For now, rest assured that employers are able to contact you using the Contact Form on your public resume page without seeing your email address or any other contact information.

If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us through www.indeed.com/support

Best,
Indeed Host

From that, it looks like anyone can see potential job seekers' resumes, even if they're not logged in. Who's to say that a scammer or spammer won't take advantage of that?

I agree with TryingHardToFindWork. I don't see an option to edit my resume or actually take it off the site. I personally do not want everybody (like spammers & scammers) seeing all of my information out there. What can be done about this as far as removing the resume altogether?

I agree with. I don't see an option to edit or even remove my resume. I sent an email, but haven't had a response yet.

I saw that there is a way to hide your resume from employers. But for people who want to have visible resumes, there needs to be a way to protect them from people with intentions to scam people.

Sign in to MyIndeed, click "Resume," and on the right sidebar there should be something that says "Edit Resume Privacy" or something similar. You have the option of making it private or public.
