Free Job Post Policy

Indeed lets you post free jobs in countries around the world. The number of free jobs you can post each month and how long they'll show up in search results depends on your location.

The basic rule

In select countries (US, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland):

  • You can post up to 3 free jobs per calendar month
  • Each free job shows for up to 30 days in search results

In all other countries:

  • Free jobs show for up to 30 days
  • The number of free job posts is not limited at this time
  • Some countries (listed below) let free jobs show for up to 120 days

When you reach your monthly limit or your job reaches its time limit, you can pay to sponsor jobs. This keeps them visible and helps you reach more jobseekers.

Terms, conditions, quality standards and usage limits apply.

How the 3-job count works for 30-day countries

Here are examples to help you understand how we count your 3 free jobs:

Example 1: Posting and closing jobs

  • 5 January: You post Job A (free job 1 of 3)
  • 10 January: You post Job B (free job 2 of 3)
  • 15 January: You close Job A
  • 20 January: You post Job C (free job 3 of 3)
  • Result: You've used all 3 free jobs for January, even though Job A closed early.

Example 2: Reopening old jobs

  • 3 February: You post Job D (free job 1 of 3)
  • 10 February: You close Job D
  • 20 February: You try to reopen Job D
  • Result: Job D will be free until 5 March. You must sponsor it to make it visible in search results after that time.

Example 3: Duplicating jobs

  • 5 March: You post Job E (free job 1 of 3)
  • 15 March: You duplicate Job E to create Job F
  • Result: Job F counts as free job 2 of 3. Each duplicate uses one of your 3 free spots.

When your count resets

Your free job count resets on the first day of each calendar month at 12:00 a.m. in your time zone.

For example:

  • You post 3 jobs in March
  • On 1 April at 12:00 a.m. your count goes back to 0
  • You can post 3 new free jobs in April

Parent-company mapping

If your company has multiple locations or brands on Indeed, they may be linked under one parent company.

How it works:

  • All locations under the same parent company share the same 3-job limit
    • Example: Your company has 5 different Indeed accounts for different offices
    • All 5 accounts together can post 3 free jobs per month, not 3 jobs per account
  • The limit applies to the entire company, not each location

Why this matters:

  • Check with your team before posting
  • Other locations may have already used the 3 free posts
  • Plan together to decide which jobs to post as free each month
