Stop. Using. Indeed.

It's a glorified resumé scraping service for corpos. It's free to use for job seekers right? That means YOUR INFORMATION IS THE PRODUCT. All Indeed does is look at what's on your resumé, and then delivers that insight to corporations for a fee.

Go handout resumés in person. If the company does not want you to do that, submit them through their career portal on their official website.

I'm so glad that when I applied for my first job 10 years ago, having no experience in any field, applications through websites and apps wasn't really a big thing and it was mostly done by sending e-mails. Gathered a list of 200 emails and sent those emails one by one, got a call two days later and then kept getting more calls with offers for the next half a year. I do remember registering to a couple big company websites to apply there - and just like the OP mentions, those instantly became ghost accounts :)
