Terms of Service and Privacy Policy

1. Description of Services

Recruiter Hi is a recruiting platform that connects talented individuals with job opportunities. Candidates can create profiles, upload information about their skills, experience, and preferences, and apply to or be matched with job openings. We facilitate introductions between Candidates and employers, and we earn revenue through standard recruiting commissions upon successful placements. Our Services include profile creation, job matching, communication tools, and related features.

The Services are intended for users who are at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into contracts. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. User Accounts and Responsibilities

To access certain features, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update it as necessary. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or use.

You agree not to:

• Use the Services for any illegal, harmful, or unauthorized purpose.
• Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.
• Upload or transmit viruses, malware, or any other harmful code.
• Interfere with or disrupt the Services or servers/networks connected to the Services.
• Harvest or collect information about other users without their consent.
• Violate any applicable laws, regulations, or third-party rights.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time for violations of these Terms, without notice or liability.

3. Candidate and Employer Interactions

• For Candidates: By submitting your information (e.g., resume, profile details, contact info), you authorize us to share it with potential employers or recruiters as part of the matching process. You represent that all information you provide is accurate and truthful. We may use AI or other tools to analyze your data for matching purposes, but we do not guarantee job placements.
• For Employers/Recruiters: You agree to use Candidate information solely for legitimate recruiting purposes and in compliance with applicable laws (e.g., anti-discrimination laws). You are responsible for your interactions with Candidates and for any hiring decisions.
• Matches and Placements: We facilitate matches based on profile data, but all hiring decisions are between Candidates and employers. Upon a successful placement, we may earn a commission based on standard industry rates (typically a percentage of the Candidate's first-year salary). Details of commissions will be provided in separate agreements with employers.
