Indeed's Terms of Service govern all interactions on the Indeed platform for job seekers, employers, and developers, covering job applications, resume visibility, employer advertising, AI-powered tools, and dispute resolution. The most operationally significant provision is the mandatory arbitration clause for U.S. users, which requires individual binding arbitration for disputes and waives the right to class, collective, or representative proceedings, with a limited opt-out available to job seekers. The terms also authorize Indeed to use job seeker and employer interaction data, including User Content and AI-generated outputs, to develop, train, and improve AI and machine learning models, with employer-provided data from tools like Talent Scout and Smart Screening explicitly included.
This document constitutes Indeed's Terms of Service governing use of the Indeed platform (including simplyhired.com, workopolis.com, and resume.com) by job seekers, employers, API developers, and participants in specific programs such as Smart Sourcing, Smart Screening, Talent Scout, and Career Scout. The agreement states that job seekers grant Indeed authorization to make their profiles available to employers, that employers assume sole responsibility for all hiring decisions, and that Indeed retains broad discretion to reject, remove, or limit visibility of any user content or account for any or no reason without notice. Notable provisions include a mandatory arbitration clause with class action waiver applicable to all U.S. users (with an opt-out available to job seekers), an explicit disclaimer of all liability for virtual interview data security, and authorization for Indeed to use employer and job seeker interaction data to train and develop AI and machine learning models. The document engages GDPR, CCPA and state-equivalent U.S. privacy laws, TCPA, ADA, OFCCP regulations, Illinois BIPA (via third-party identity verification services), and EU Digital Services Act and UK Online Safety Act frameworks; a dedicated Data Processing Agreement is incorporated by reference for employer-side data processing. Compliance teams should note that the terms assert Indeed's measurements of ad activity (clicks, impressions, started applications) are binding on employers for billing purposes, and that the document places responsibility for cross-border personal data transfer compliance squarely on employers posting job ads in regulated jurisdictions.
