Indeed account banned without clear explanation
🧭 workproduct problemSingle report ●●●●●
An Indeed user reports being banned from the platform while searching for jobs and is unable to appeal the decision or determine the specific reason for the ban, noting the platform's new requirement for ID verification.
What people do today
- Attempting to contact support
- Searching for alternative job boards
- Creating a new account
🔧 Fix this
Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- A transparent appeal dashboard that displays the specific policy violation and allows users to submit evidence to contest automated bans.
- A third-party verification service that allows job seekers to verify their identity once and share that status across multiple job platforms without re-uploading IDs.
- A browser extension that tracks job application history and account status across multiple platforms to help users manage their job search if one platform blocks them.
