Reply to comment by jsboklahoma1987 in LPT: When applying to jobs on indeed message the employer directly if you are interested in the position. by jsboklahoma1987

I’ve had a similar experience to the person you’re replying to. Not sure why you feel the need to diminish their experience. I wouldn’t be surprised if somebody told me different workplaces handle various tasks very differently

Contacting the employer through the app they posted their job on is not “going around the system”. It’s not diminishing anything I think they fundamentally misunderstood my post.

So you are saying contact the employer directly but through indeed? I agree your post seems to lack clarifying details and thus is causing confusion

It’s literally in the title.

Title unclear, contacted employer directly through company site and was rejected. LPT: Be clear in your messaging and don’t be so defensive

“When applying to jobs on indeed” I was intentionally specific. Indeed has the capability to message employers.

It’s not clear my friend, i would apply on indeed and then find a way to message an employer DIRECTLY rather than indirectly through a third party site per your instruction. I don’t know what to tell you. Let’s both be wrong and move on who cares

What? Lmao omg if you would do that, no wonder you have had a “similar” experience as the person who commented.

I wouldn’t, that’s why I’m advising the advice you gave, the way it’s being interpreted, is not good

Well for anyone who was unclear, if this little back and forth didn’t clear it up I got nothing for them.

I understood what OP was saying...I was confused how to do so but This link OP provided , explains that if the employer chooses to do so, they can set up a "Post-App follow up question". This is not skirting the process if the employer enabled this response on Indeed.
