Impact Summary

Affected users
All users Job seekers using apply for me feature

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.

What this means for you

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.
