    For once sharing datas between SO and Indeed on a voluntary basis would have been useful, yet "No personal data about users is shared between Stack Overflow and Indeed.". I take this means SO Jobs will just be redirect links to indeed with no added value on top, am I missing something ? Commented Apr 29, 2024 at 16:08

    @Sasha "... will be hosted on its own domain". Assuming it's not a subdomain of stackexchange.com / stackoverflow.com, any chance you could add the domain to this list of domains? Commented Apr 29, 2024 at 16:23

    @Tensibai I guess it could have some value to SO Inc. in that they can get telemetry on what people click on and so get data about jobs their users are interested in, but I don't think that's what you were asking about (value to us- the users) Commented Apr 29, 2024 at 17:01

    you probably want a remote work toggle, too, in addition to those two search boxes Commented Apr 29, 2024 at 20:36

    That was quite the rollercoaster, going from "Awesome!" to "... so it's basically just an ad for an unpleasant job search site" 😅 . As much as the new title is better, it would probably make more sense to just call it was it is "Launching a new ad for indeed". Commented Apr 30, 2024 at 9:27

    @KevinB “Remote” can be typed into the title/keyword field (not the location field) to search for remote jobs. Commented Apr 30, 2024 at 15:58

    Please add an option to hide this from the sidebar so I don't accidentally visit indeed. I make a habit of NEVER visiting Indeed. One of the reasons I never use Indeed is the fake jobs. Commented Apr 30, 2024 at 19:56

    @Ramhound clicking the link to SO Jobs from the left sidebar will not take you to Indeed. The job site will be hosted on its own, separate domain (not SO or Indeed). Once there you will only be redirected to Indeed if you were to hit the "apply" button. Commented Apr 30, 2024 at 20:44

    So if I understand that right, SO jobs is just showing jobs that I could just go onto indeed and look at anyway… isn’t that like going to a StackOverflow clone to find an answer? Commented Apr 30, 2024 at 20:57

    I don't understand how this is different to going to Indeed. What's the advantage of this? Commented Apr 30, 2024 at 21:34

    @RobGrant Take it as just an ad, where StackOverflow sold rights to license their brand for hopefully a tonne of money to Indeed. The idea is that the StackOverflow brand has a certain amount of trust, whilst Indeed really needs that trust, so for StackOverflow they liquidate a bit of the trust into money. As long as they mark it as an ad I really don't mind. Commented May 1, 2024 at 7:00

    @Sasha, users might not be redirected to Indeed, and the domain may be wholly unique... But will that website be running on Stack's servers or Indeed's servers? Which company is operating the infrastructure it runs on? Presumably the new site is just a Stack-Branded website that makes all the same API calls as the regular Indeed site?

    @cocomac Yes, the new domain will be added to this community wiki when the feature goes live, under the category “Related domains, not needed for viewing/using the regular Q/A sites.” Commented May 2, 2024 at 20:53

    I still want an option to remove the ad for Indeed on the sidebar. It’s appearing on every community, it just limited, to Stack Overflow. Commented May 9, 2024 at 5:55

    @markp-fuso users can continue to leave feedback about SO Jobs on this post, I am still monitoring it. Or if there are bugs to report we are collecting those on this secondary post which is also linked i in the update at the top of the post above. Commented May 31, 2024 at 18:37
