Free Job Post Policy

This policy applies to jobs posted directly on Indeed. Jobs posted through an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) are not affected. 

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

• You can post up to three 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.
• In some countries (listed below), 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. Jobs that don't meet Indeed's requirements may receive limited or no visibility in search results.

Here are examples to help you understand how we count your three 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 three 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 three free spots.

Your free job count resets on the first day of each calendar month at midnight in your time zone.

For example:

• You post three jobs in March.
• On 1 April at midnight, your count goes back to zero.
• You can post three new free jobs in April.

If your company has multiple Indeed accounts – such as for different locations, brands or franchises – they may be linked under one parent company.

How it works:

• All accounts linked under the same parent company share the same three-job limit per month. 
• Example: If your company has five different Indeed accounts for different locations, then all five accounts share a combined limit of three free jobs per month, not three jobs per account.
• The limit applies to the entire company, not each individual account.

Why this matters:

• Check with your company's team before posting.
• Other accounts may have already used the three free posts.
• Plan together to decide which jobs to post as free each month.
