Indeed, Inc.

Indeed.com is a major global employment website that aggregates job listings and allows job seekers to create detailed profiles and upload resumes. The platform's primary customers are employers and recruiters who pay for premium services like sponsored job postings and access to a vast database of candidate resumes to find potential hires. Job seekers can create profiles that include personal information such as their work history, educational background, skills, and contact details. While users can set their profiles to private, a public profile can expose this personal data to a wide audience of employers and recruiters, and even be copied by third-party search engines. This visibility, while beneficial for job hunting, creates privacy risks including receiving unsolicited offers and the potential for identity theft or scams if the information is misused by bad actors. Individuals can protect themselves by setting their profiles to private, carefully curating the personal information they include on their resume, and being cautious of unsolicited contact.
