Affiliate disclosure

Indeed US is an independent, advertising-supported site. We publish free guides about types of work. We are not an employer, a recruiter or a staffing agency, and we do not post job openings or process applications ourselves.

How we make money

When you choose to continue to a partner from one of our “See job listings” links, you are taken to a third-party company that hosts job listings. If you submit your information to that partner, we may be paid a commission (typically a fixed amount per lead). This is called cost-per-action or affiliate marketing.

This costs you nothing. You never pay us, and the price or availability of anything the partner offers is not affected by our link.

How this affects what you see

Being paid this way can influence which kinds of work we choose to write guides about, because we tend to cover fields where a partner offer exists. It does not change the facts in a guide: duties, requirements, the honest downsides, and the pay figures all come from our own research and public sources such as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, and we cite them. We include the downsides of a job even though doing so costs us some clicks, because an accurate picture is worth more than a click.

What actually happens when you click a listings link

• You leave Indeed US and go to a third-party partner.
• The partner will typically ask for your email address so it can send you listings. Read the partner’s own privacy policy before you submit anything.
• We may receive a signal that a lead came from a particular guide, along with an anonymous click identifier, so we can be paid correctly. See our privacy policy for exactly what we collect.

Our commitment

This disclosure is provided in the spirit of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s guidance on endorsements and affiliate relationships. We do not publish fake reviews, invented testimonials or fabricated review counts. If anything here is unclear, please contact us.
