What happens when you block an employer

When you set your profile to Employers can find you.

Blocked employers won't be able to find your profile or resume in searches when logged into their account.

When you set your profile to Employers can't find you.

No employers will be able to find your profile or resume in searches.

When you apply for a job.

Employers you've blocked can still access your application and profile details if you've applied to a job for that employer.

Important: Blocking isn't guaranteed. To fully prevent any employer from viewing your profile, set your profile visibility to Employers can't find you in your profile settings.

Can't find your employer?

Here are some tips if you don't see your employer listed:

• Double-check the spelling.
• Try different versions of the company name.
• The employer might not be listed on Indeed.
