Indeed Platform Accused of Hosting Ghost Job Listings After 30 Unanswered Applications

12

I have been actively using the Indeed app on my mobile phone for about two months to apply for positions across various companies. During this period, I submitted roughly 30 applications, yet I have not received a single response, message, or update. Despite continuously sending out my resume through the app, failing to receive any outcome whatsoever has caused deep frustration.

I suspect that a large portion of these job postings are not legitimate, appearing as though they are fake or placeholder listings created just to fill space. I am left with the impression that certain listings are published without the featured companies even being aware of them. For a platform that positions itself as a genuine job board to yield zero communication across so many applications has wasted my time and completely killed my motivation as a job seeker.

I demand that Indeed verify job postings for authenticity, purge fake or ghost listings from the platform, and stop putting job seekers through pointless efforts. Furthermore, I request a more transparent tracking and feedback process regarding the status of applications submitted through the platform.
