The disclaimer applies to both job seeker and employer participants and extends to third-party service providers used to facilitate virtual interviews.

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.
