Is Indeed Down?

Indeed is responding, but blocks automated checks

When we last reached Indeed directly, it answered and refused us — origin returns HTTP 403 bot challenge from all regions. An answer is proof the origin was serving traffic, but it measures our access, not the service, so we publish no percentage.

Last checked · checks run every 30 minutes

Why there is no uptime figure on this page

The last time we fetched Indeed's page directly, the origin answered and turned our client away rather than serving the page. That answer tells us the origin was reachable and responding, but it is a response about our automation, not about whether Indeed works for you.

A percentage built from those checks would measure our own access, so we do not publish one. What this page does show is each region's most recent result, which you can weigh yourself.

Reachability by region

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.

What Indeed does

Indeed is the world's largest job search engine, aggregating listings from thousands of company career pages, job boards, and staffing agencies. It serves both job seekers who search and apply for positions, and employers who post job listings and manage candidates. Indeed processes millions of job applications daily across over 60 countries.

What an outage looks like

When Indeed is down, job seekers cannot search for or apply to positions. Application submissions may fail, losing cover letters and responses. Employers cannot access their candidate dashboard or post new listings. Saved job searches and email alerts may not be delivered on schedule.

What to do about it

Wait and retry after a few minutes, as Indeed outages are typically brief. If you were in the middle of a job application, check your email for a confirmation to see if it went through. For urgent applications, try visiting the employer's website directly and apply through their careers page.

Is it down for everyone, or just you?

If this page says Indeed is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from all 18 regions to find out where it breaks.

Indeed outage FAQ

Will my job application be lost if Indeed goes down?
If you clicked submit and received a confirmation page or email, your application was received. If the site went down before you saw confirmation, the application may not have been submitted. Save copies of your resume and cover letter locally so you can easily re-apply if needed.
Can I still find jobs if Indeed is down?
Yes, try alternative job boards like LinkedIn, Glassdoor, or ZipRecruiter. You can also search Google for the job title and company name to find the listing on the employer's own career page. Many jobs posted on Indeed also appear on other platforms.
Does Indeed going down affect employer accounts?
Yes, employers lose access to their candidate dashboard, job posting management, and Indeed's messaging system during an outage. Sponsored job listings stop receiving applicants, but ad budgets are typically not charged for the downtime period.
Are Indeed job alerts affected by outages?
Job alerts may be delayed during an outage but are usually sent once the system recovers. New job listings posted during the outage will be included in the next scheduled alert. Check your Indeed account once the site is back to see any new matches.

How we measure this

  • We request Indeed's public endpoint every 30 minutes from Fly.io regions across six continents — 18 of them answered the most recent check.
  • A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A 403 or 429 means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage.
  • A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
  • Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
  • Where Indeed publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it — and when Indeed blocks our checks entirely, we report the vendor's own status directly.
