All users Users with apply for me enabled

Indeed removed language stating that Auto Apply impressions (applications sent via the Apply For Me tool) could be counted as impressions. Previously, the terms permitted Indeed to count automated applications as impressions; the updated terms no longer include this provision. This changes how Indeed may measure and report application activity for users who have activated the Apply For Me feature.

What this means for you

Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

The updated terms remove language that previously permitted Indeed to count Auto Apply applications as impressions. This means Indeed's measurement and reporting of application activity for users with the Apply For Me tool enabled may operate under different criteria. The practical effect depends on how Indeed implements this change in its measurement systems and reporting.

Previous text
Removes language defining impression counting for auto-applied job applications via Indeed's Apply For Me tool.
2026-10-11 · Impact summary edited · summary regenerated by summarize_events
Previous text
Indeed removed explicit language describing how applications sent through its 'Apply For Me' automated tool are counted in impression metrics. The previous terms stated such auto-applications could be counted as impressions; this disclosure has been removed. The practical effect is that users no longer have a stated definition of how Indeed measures or reports impressions for automated applications. No specific action is required; this is a removal of a prior disclosure statement rather than a change to user rights or obligations.

Previous text
Indeed removed a sentence from its Terms of Service specifying that applications sent through the 'Apply For Me' tool could be counted as impressions. The previous terms stated that such auto-applications would register as an impression metric; this language has been deleted. The operational effect is that Indeed no longer explicitly represents how it counts or reports on applications generated through its automated application feature.
