Job Posting Quality Standards

This policy applies to all employers posting jobs on Indeed. Our goal is to make job posts clear and easy to understand. All jobs should be accurate, easy to read, and professional. Posts that do not meet quality standards may be hidden, removed, or require sponsorship.

Policy requirements

Write clear job descriptions.

  • Include the company name, pay, work hours, benefits, and duties.
  • Use full sentences and professional language.
  • Avoid spam-like content, like all caps, extra punctuation, or too many abbreviations.
  • Keep the tone clear and focused on the job.

Example:

  • Do: "We're hiring a full-term cashier at [company name]. Pay starts at [amount] per hour. Duties include helping customers, managing the register, and keeping the checkout area clean."
  • Don't: "HIRING CASHIER $$$ APPLY NOW!!! GREAT PAY!!!"

Use professional job titles.

  • Keep titles simple, short, and accurate.
  • Use the real job title only.
  • Don't use clickbait, emojis, symbols, or unclear text.
  • Avoid adding details like location, pay, or shifts. These belong in the job description.

Example:

  • Do: "Warehouse Associate"
  • Don't: "Warehouse Associate - $20/hr Night Shift!!!"

Avoid keyword stuffing.

  • Don't repeat the same keywords to boost search results.
  • Don't list competitors' names.
  • Don't include long lists of job titles or company names.
  • Write short sentences that describe the job in a clear way.

Example:

  • Do: "We're looking for a customer service representative to assist clients by phone and email."
  • Don't: "Customer service, customer service, sales, call center, data entry, admin"

Next steps

If we removed or hid your job post:

  • Check the title and description for clear, simple language.
  • Remove extra symbols, repeated words, or spam-like content.
  • Make sure all details about the job are correct.

Contact Indeed Support if you believe we removed your post by mistake.
