Is it even possible to job search on Indeed without getting flooded with scams? Ever since I started applying, my email and phone have been bombarded with fake offers. I’m so glad I use a Google Voice number, but it’s still overwhelming. Is anyone else dealing with this?

It’s been the same for me. I’ve gotten so many spam offers that it makes me second-guess every job listing. Using a Google Voice number is a really good idea.

I receive these same scam texts. I didnt even connect the dots here. I like the idea of Google voice. I wonder if a separate email would be helpful as well.

I've used Google Voice on my resume since 2012. I only use it for job search and spam. So I can tell which calls/texts are legit.

Haven't dealt with this... even when I used Indeed. LinkedIn is definitely more reliable for corporate/big company jobs.
