Why you can't find your vacancy on Indeed

There are a few reasons why you may not be able to find your vacancy on Indeed. This article explains how to check if your vacancy is active. We'll also share common reasons why vacancies might not be visible and how to fix these issues.

Important: Indeed may reject or remove vacancies or company listings at any time and for any reason. We do this to help protect jobseekers and maintain platform quality.

How to check if your vacancy is active

Understanding vacancy relevance

Indeed shows vacancies based on relevance. This means:

Different people get different results based on their search, location and interests
Your vacancy may not appear in every search, even when it's active
The vacancy connects with people who are the best match

Because of this, searching for your vacancy may not show accurate results.

Did you know? Sponsored Jobs and vacancies using Indeed Apply receive more visibility when similar roles compete for the same candidates.

Check your Company Page

The best way to confirm your vacancy is active:

Go to your Company Page.
Find your vacancy in the Jobs tab.

Check your Jobs tab

Go to the Jobs tab in your employer account.
Navigate to All jobs to review your vacancies.
Learn more about how to view your job adverts.

Don't search for your own vacancy

Searching for your vacancy on Indeed can be misleading because:

Search results are personalised
Your activity affects your search results
Clicking Sponsored Jobs might use your budget

Reasons why your vacancy isn't visible

Can't find the vacancy on your Company Page? Here are some possible issues and their solutions.

Account or verification issues

Issue: Your account isn't verified.

Problem: Before vacancies you posted in your Indeed account can go live, you must verify your account.

Solution: Follow the steps to verify your account.

Issue: Your account is under review.

Problem: Your account may have reduced visibility while it's under review.

Solution: Contact us for help. Possible reasons for a review are:

A potential violation of our job advert quality standards
You need to supply proof of identity

Issue: You posted a Sponsored Job, but there's no payment method on file.

Problem: Sponsored Jobs require a payment method.

Solution: Set up your billing information and payment method. Learn more about how to pay your Indeed invoices.

Job status or settings

Issue: You paused or closed your vacancy.

Problem: Paused or closed vacancies don't appear in search results.

Solution: Change the vacancy's status to Open.

Issue: Your Sponsored Job reached its daily limit.

Problem: Your Sponsored Job is removed from search results once it reaches a daily spend limit.

Solution: The vacancy will be back once the budget is reset the next day. Contact your account executive if you need help adjusting your budget.

Issue: You posted several similar vacancies.

Problem: If you've posted similar vacancies, we may have grouped them together in the search results. Indeed automatically selects the most relevant vacancy to display.

Solution: Jobseekers can select View similar vacancies with this employer for a list of all the jobs you posted.

Quality and policy issues

Issue: Your vacancy may not meet our quality standards.

Problem: We may remove vacancies that aren't accurate, easy to read or professional.

Solution: You may need to update the job title or description to reinstate these vacancies. Review our job advert quality standards for more information.

Issue: You reposted the vacancy.

Problem: You may have advertised a vacancy that appears to be a copy of an existing role already on Indeed. Advertising the same vacancy more than once may result in it being hidden or requiring sponsorship.

Solution: Review our policy on job advert integrity and duplicates.

Tip: Visit our Indeed Policy Centre for an overview of all our policies.
