Unavailable Jobs on Indeed

URLs

• It is imperative that links directing jobseekers to a third-party site work.
• We may remove jobs with broken URLs from search results until the link has been fixed.

Examples of broken URLs 

• Connection errors or blank pages
• Security or access errors
• Site maintenance or service unavailable
  
  • 'This page isn't working', '503 Service Unavailable' or 'The site is undergoing maintenance'.

Job availability

• Jobs linked to businesses or locations that are not yet open ('coming soon') must show a clear start or hiring date.
• Jobs submitted more than 60 days before the start date may have reduced visibility

Examples 

• Jobs posted more than 60 days before a business opens
• Jobs posted more than 60 days before the role is available
• Jobs advertised as 'opening soon' without a clear start date

Expired jobs

• Jobs that are no longer open must be removed or shown with reduced visibility

Examples

• The application or start date has passed.
• The employer has shared that they are no longer hiring
• The role is generally no longer available.

Internal-only roles

• Jobs that are open only to current employees or members of a specific programme may not appear on Indeed.

Examples

• Work-study programmes
• University research positions for enrolled students only Examples include:
  
  • Graduate assistantships
  • Research positions
  • Work-study jobs that require the applicant to be currently enrolled at the institution
• Roles posted as part of an internal mobility programme
• Jobs stating 'This position is only open to current employees'
• Jobs requiring a referral from a current employee
• Department- or programme-specific restrictions
  
  • For example, 'Only members of the XYZ Leadership Programme may apply'

Application methods

• Jobs must use approved application methods.
  
  • For example, vetted ATS or other integrated apply tools.
• Posts asking jobseekers to apply in other ways may have reduced visibility.
• Descriptions are allowed to include an email address or phone number.

If we removed or hid your job post:

• Compare your post against the guidelines above.
• Test and repair broken links before posting.
• Check for expired and start dates.
• Make sure the role is open to all qualified candidates.
