ADDITIONAL TERMS OF SERVICE FOR RECRUITERS

These additional terms of service form part of the general terms and conditions [link] for use of our website. In the event of any conflict between these additional terms of service and the general terms of service, the former shall prevail.

Data protection

If you register as a recruiter on this website, you may have personally identifiable information (“personal data”) about individuals made available to you from time to time. You must only use this personal data for the purposes for which it is provided, namely in relation to a specific vacancy for which you are seeking to recruit. You must not use this personal data to create any kind of database, or distribute the personal data outside your own organisation. You must process the personal data with due care and attention, with respect to the privacy of the individuals concerned, and in accordance with all relevant data protection legislation, including without limitation the Data Protection Act 1998.

Job descriptions and advertisements

All job descriptions and advertisements must:

• comply with all applicable legal, statutory and regulatory requirements, including any applicable codes of practice;
• not discriminate (directly or indirectly) against applicants on the grounds of race, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion or disability;
• be for specific, currently available vacancies and not relate to opportunities generally or to other goods or services;
• be appropriate for applicants who are educated at the minimum of graduate level; and
• not include links to any other website which contains material which is illegal, defamatory, obscene, offensive or which may otherwise bring us into disrepute.

We reserve the right at our absolute discretion to refuse, or remove, any job description or advertisement which in our opinion does not comply with the above requirements, or which in our opinion is not otherwise suitable for our website.

Responsibilities regarding applicants

Where we are selecting applicants who may be of interest to you, we will use all reasonable care. However, for Services 1 & 2 (Standard job description with advert and full database search and access to ten CV’s) we cannot guarantee that all or indeed any of the applicants who apply will be suitable for the vacancy in question.

It is your responsibility to:

• take all such steps as you deem are necessary to satisfy yourself as to the suitability of applicants for vacancies, including without limitation in respect of their qualifications, work experience and right to work in any country to which the vacancy relates;
• take up any references provided by applicants and/or us;
• arrange for any advisable examinations and/or investigations into the medical history of applicants; and
• treat all applicants during the recruitment process in accordance with all applicable laws and legislation.

Payment

Where we require payment for any of the services we provide on the website:

• all amounts must be paid in full in advance in pounds sterling;
• if your payment is not made in time, or rejected or refused, we will be entitled immediately to cease or suspend the provision of the service in question until successful payment has been made; and
• you must be the person responsible for paying the bill for the particular method of payment you have chosen (or have the prior permission of the person responsible to make the payment).

Refunds

You acknowledge and agree that you may, when paying for our services, receive no, or no suitable, applicants for any vacancy for which you are seeking to recruit. No refunds will be made once we have accepted your payment, unless we subsequently decide (at our absolute discretion) that we are unable or unwilling to provide the services for which you have paid (for example, and without limitation, if we decide that a job description or advertisement is not suitable for our website).

ADDITIONAL TERMS OF SERVICE FOR GRADUATES

These additional terms of service form part of the general terms and conditions [link] for use of our website. In the event of any conflict between these additional terms of service and the general terms of service, the former shall prevail.

Data protection

If you register as a graduate on this website, personally identifiable information (“personal data”) about you may be made available, in accordance with our privacy policy, to third parties who have registered with us as recruiters. These recruiters have agreed only to use personal data of people who have registered as graduates for the purposes for which it is provided, namely in relation to a specific vacancy for which they are seeking to recruit. They have further agreed to process the personal data with due care and attention, with respect to the privacy of the individuals concerned, and in accordance with all relevant data protection legislation, including without limitation the Data Protection Act 1998. However, we cannot guarantee that they will do so, and we accept no liability in this respect.

In your dealings with any recruiter, it is your responsibility to take all such steps as you deem are necessary to satisfy yourself as to the standing of the recruiter and the suitability for your purposes of the vacancy.

PRIVACY POLICY

We are committed to respecting and protecting the privacy of people who use our website. We are registered as a data controller under the Data Protection Act 1998 (“the DPA”). We comply with the data protection principles and process all personally identifiable information (“personal data”) with due care and attention and in accordance with the DPA.

The information we collect

When you visit our website, we may use “cookies” to help personalise your use of the website, even if you have not registered as a user or provided us with any personal data. For example, cookies may be used to recognise your computer by its IP address, so that the next time you come back to the website we know that you are a repeat visitor. It is normally possible to alter the settings of your computer so that cookies cannot be used in this way, but this may affect the way in which you can use our website.

When you register as a user of our website, you will need to provide us with some of your personal data. We (or our contractors) may check some of this personal data against third party databases to confirm that it is accurate.

How we may use this information

This privacy policy forms part of the terms of service for use of this website. By agreeing to these terms of service, you are consenting to our use of your personal data in accordance with this privacy policy.

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which it was collected, unless you have given us permission to use it for other purposes. We will not disclose your personal data to any third party without your permission, other than in the circumstances set out in this privacy policy or where such disclosure is required by law.

We may collect and analyse data from the personal data provided by you to help us to understand our users as a group so that we can provide a better service. We may share aggregated data with selected third parties, without disclosing individual names or personally identifying information.

We will use your personal data to aid the recruitment process connected with our website and for associated administrative functions. We may use your personal data to communicate with you on any matter relating to the website.

If, having registered as a graduate, you upload your CV to our website, we will store your CV and/or your personal data in our graduate database. We may then make your CV and/or your personal data available to third parties who have registered with us as recruiters and who we believe may be interested in employing or otherwise engaging you for a specific vacancy. Some of these recruiters may be based outside the UK, including in countries outside the European Economic Area which do not have data protection legislation which is equivalent to the DPA.

We may change this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be displayed on the website.
