Indeed updated its Terms of Service on July 3, 2026 to disclose that the platform may use job seeker profile information and preferences to draft application content with AI assistance. The updated terms establish that job seekers remain responsible for reviewing, editing, and approving any AI-drafted content before submission. The change also removes language describing a voluntary third-party bot validation process that was previously available to job seekers in certain locations.
Job seekers: Job seekers in certain locations no longer have the option to voluntarily verify their identity through a third-party process at no cost to deter bot activity.
Job seekers: Indeed disclosed a new feature where job applications can be automatically drafted using AI, and job seekers must review these drafts before submitting them to employers.
The updated terms state that Indeed may automatically draft job application content based on job seeker profile information and preferences. The drafted content may be AI-generated and subject to Indeed's AI-Generated Content Terms in Section D.9 of the General Terms. The agreement continues to establish that job seekers remain responsible for reviewing, correcting, editing, or deleting any drafted applications or application content before submission. You should review any AI-drafted content carefully to ensure it accurately reflects your qualifications and preferences before adopting and submitting applications.
→ Review the AI-Generated Content Terms in Section D.9 of Indeed's General Terms for All Users to understand how AI content is generated and used.
→ When Indeed drafts application content for you, carefully review the drafted text for accuracy, tone, and relevance before adopting and submitting it to employers.
