4. Employment Agencies and Employment Business Regulations 2003

4.1. Jobseekers need to be aware that this job board operates as a venue only and does not introduce or supply jobseekers to recruiters (or vice versa). This means that we do not:

  • obtain confirmation of the identity of a jobseeker or that they have the experience, training, qualifications or authorisation to work in the position to be filled or that they wish to undertake the role to be filled;
  • take any steps to ensure the jobseeker are aware of any requirement imposed by law or otherwise which must be satisfied by either of them to permit the jobseeker to fulfil the position to be filled;
  • take any steps to ensure that it would not be detrimental to the interests of the jobseeker to fulfil the position to be fulfilled;
  • give any indication to recruiters whether jobseekers are unsuitable (or suitable) for any position to be filled in any circumstances;
  • propose jobseekers to recruiters or provide any information about them.
  • take up any references in relation to a jobseeker; or,
  • make any arrangements for accommodation of jobseekers.

4.2. The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Business Regulations 2003 (the “Regulations”) seek to ensure that jobseekers are only proposed by employment agencies for roles for which they are properly qualified and that recruiters are only offered jobseekers who have the appropriate levels of experience, training, qualifications and authorisation for the position to be filled. Since we are only a venue and do not propose or introduce jobseekers to recruiters or vice versa, it is recommended that, if you are a jobseeker, you undertake the steps set out in the Regulations to ensure your suitability for the role advertised.

4.3. This could include checking the identity of the recruiter and the nature of its business, the commencement date and duration of the position, the position to be filled including type of work, location, hours and risks to health and safety, experience, training, qualifications and authorisation which the recruiter considers necessary or are required by law or otherwise to undertake the position, whether any expenses are payable by you as a jobseeker or whether there are any requirements imposed by law or otherwise for you to satisfy before taking up a position.

The Agreement for your account between you and us will come into effect when we activate your account.

6.1.2. The completion of the registration by you only constitutes an offer to enter into a contract. We reserve the right to accept or decline the conclusion of the contract in its own discretion. There is no right to claim a conclusion of contract.

6.1.3. You must provide the requested information and data completely and truthfully. You are responsible to keep your contact data (especially your email-address) up to date and to secure that you can be contacted under the address provided and that the email-address is not transferred to another person.

In the event of incomplete or false information provided by you, we shall have the right, to block your account and the access to our Platform temporarily or permanently and/or terminate in accordance with clause 8.

6.2. Your Profile

6.2.1. You can create a profile (“Profile”) within your account, which will consist of various CV related pieces of information, your job preferences as well as attachments provided by you. It will also keep a record of your activity on our Platforms. You have a number of options when deciding how much of this information recruiters can see. The default when you sign up is for recruiters to be able to see your profile (but not any photo on your profile). This includes your CV and your “Last Active” date (see below for more information on this). You can change the visibility of your profile at any time – here.

6.2.2. We will also share your application history (jobs you have applied for and when you applied for them) unless you tell us not to. You can change this at any time.

6.2.3. You can use your Profile to apply to job advertisements that are published on the websites or apps. If the respective recruitment company is registered with us, it will then have access to your Profile even if it is not generally available and will be able to see the data you provided. However, they will not be able to see your application history if you have chosen not to share this. We will also use the data you have provided as part of your Profile to provide you with job ad recommendations tailored to your needs based on your Profile data. To provide you with the specific Services under the Profile, we will store the date of your last activity on our Platforms (“Last Active” date), which will be the date you most recently updated your profile or CV or the date you last applied for jobs using the Services.

6.2.4. As part of an active and public Profile we may also provide a link to a profile about you on a publicly available business related social media website we have found about you to CV Database search users. Such access to CV Database can also be provided through browser plugins or other software that we or our group companies offer and which will allow our recruiters to access your CV if they visit certain social media websites.

6.2.5. If you choose to create a Profile with us, then we will keep your CV on file until you ask us to delete your account from our Database.

6.2.6. We do not warrant or guarantee a minimum volume of storage capacity for your Profile. We reserve the right to temporarily or permanently restrict the data volume for uploads of data, especially if necessary due to technical reasons, for example in order to maintain or optimise the Service.

6.2.7. We do not guarantee that you will be offered a job by the recruiter. The decision to recruit or hire a candidate solely lies with the recruiter. We recommend that you check regularly that your profile, including your CV and other details, are accurate and up to date so the recruiter can determine whether you are a suitable candidate or not.

6.3. Application Scoring

6.3.1. We use an algorithm which compares certain factors from the job listing the recruiter had posted and the CV which you had submitted with your application to provide you with a score based on how well you fulfil the job listing requirements. The score, in the form of categorisation as “top match” or “great match”, is passed to recruiters who may if they wish use the score to help them prioritise applicants, including by arranging applicants by best match.

6.3.2. The comparison is mainly focused on your skills and job titles and there does not have to be an exact match as different titles may have the same meaning in practice which the algorithm will consider. The score is only visible to the recruiters and for the specific job you had applied for, if you do not want the CV to be scored, you may delete or edit the CV under your profile area.

6.4. Candidate Recommender

If your profile is searchable, we may recommend you to a recruiter for a particular job vacancy that matches your criteria. When you set your profile and/or account to searchable, you consent to recruiters viewing, accessing and receiving details of your profile. You may change your details, settings and/or update your CV or skills within your account area. We will collect and use Profile, Technical and Usage Data for data analytics purposes to improve the Website, products/services, marketing, user/Recruiters relationships and experience. This involves building a profile of your interests based on the job specifications you have interacted with in the past 45 days. This is necessary for our legitimate interest to ensure that website content is presented in an effective manner for you and for your computer/device.

6.5. CV Search

By registering for our Services, parts of your Profile information and CV (if uploaded during your registration) will be visible on the Platform to Recruiters and we may also suggest your Profile to Recruiters if you have set your profile as searchable.

7. Term and Termination

The agreement with you regarding your user account and the services provided under these terms is for a fixed term unless you voluntarily request us to delete your account. Either party may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect and without cause.

8. We may make changes to the terms of these terms

We amend these Jobseeker Terms from time to time. Every time you wish to use the Site, please check these Jobseeker Terms to ensure you understand the terms that apply at that time.

9. Which country’s laws apply to any disputes?

However, if you are a resident of Northern Ireland, you may also bring proceedings in Northern Ireland and if you are a resident of Scotland, you may also bring proceedings in Scotland.
