Indeed modified its terms governing AI-assisted job application drafting. Previously, the platform described drafting application content for users with an explicit responsibility for users to review, correct, edit, or delete before submission. The updated language reframes this as providing 'suggestions' and shifts the user obligation: users must review suggestions before submitting, and by submitting an application, users affirm they have reviewed and adopted all content including suggested content. The practical effect is a narrower framing of Indeed's role (from drafting to suggesting) and a more explicit user attestation requirement at submission time.
Consumers: When submitting a job application, you are confirming that you have reviewed the AI suggestions and are choosing to submit them as your own content.
The updated terms clarify that Indeed provides application content as 'suggestions' rather than 'drafted content.' Users are now required to review these suggestions before submitting an application and must affirm upon submission that they have reviewed and adopted all content, including suggested content. The revised language also explicitly states that users are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy and legitimacy of any employer or job offer. These changes formalize user responsibility at the submission stage rather than leaving it as a general duty.
→ Review AI-suggested application content carefully before submitting each application.
→ Verify employer legitimacy and job offer details independently before applying.
Users must affirm upon submission that they have reviewed and adopted AI-suggested content, formalizing user responsibility at the submission stage.
