If you are an individual looking for employment or employment information, whether you are a registered user or not (“Job Seeker”), these Terms of Service constitute an agreement between you and Talent.com Inc. If you are an individual or a legal person looking for Job Seekers or looking to make employment opportunities and information available to Job Seekers, on your behalf as an employer or on behalf of others, including but not limited to, as an agency (“Employers”), these Terms of Service constitute an agreement between you and the following Talent.com entity:

SECTION A.10 CONTAINS A MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER THAT APPLY TO ALL CLAIMS BY JOB SEEKERS BROUGHT AGAINST TALENT.COM IN THE UNITED STATES. PLEASE READ THEM CAREFULLY.

Talent.com offers Job Seekers the ability to search for job opportunities in its database using its job search engine (“Job Search”), to receive information about job opportunities through emails or electronic messages when subscribing to its job alert service (“Job Alerts”) and to find job related information, such as salary data, income tax data and other relevant information about the job market using a variety of tools. Job Seekers can also apply for jobs using our Services. Some of these Services are only available for registered Users and others are available to all Users, whether they have a Talent.com profile account or not.
Talent.com offers multiple methods for creating aa Talent profile account and becoming a registered User of our Services (“Profile Account”).
A Profile Account will be automatically created for you when you sign up to our Job Alerts service or when you apply to a job through our Website. If you no longer want to have an active Profile Account with us, you may delete your account in your settings.
You can manually create a Profile Account by providing your first name, last name, and a valid email address. The email you use must be one where we can reach you. In the event we cannot correspond with you via this email address, your submitted content may be rejected, and your account may be disabled. To complete your registration, you may be required to enter a one-time 6-digit code sent via the email address you provided and/or a password. Once your account is created, you will be given access to your profile and other private areas of your account. We will update your account with jobs you have applied to or favourited.
You may also be able to create a Profile Account and subsequently access such account through third-party websites including, but not limited to LinkedIn or Google (“Social Media"). If you create and access your Profile Account using a Social Media account, you agree that we may access, make available, and store (if applicable) any information, data, text, messages, tags, and/or other materials stored and made accessible in your account with such Social Media so that it is available on and through Talent.com via your Profile Account.
Subject to the account privacy settings that you have set with such Social Media account you use to access your Profile Account, personally identifiable information that you post to that site may be displayed on Talent.com such as name, last name, email address, phone number or location. Please note that your relationship with your Social Media is governed solely by your agreement with such Social Media and we disclaim any liability for personally identifiable information that may be provided to us by a Social Media site in violation of terms and conditions of services of the Social Media, of the privacy settings that you have set with that Social Media or of the laws applicable to that Social Media.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Profile Account. You agree to notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorised use of your account or password. You are solely responsible for any and all use of your Profile Account.
The Talent.com Job Search tool, which is free to those Job Seekers searching for employment opportunities ("Job Ads”), offers the ability to search through a database of job opportunities using key words, both as a registered User and as a non-registered User. These Job Ads are made available on our Website by Employers using our Services or may be automatically indexed by us from external third-party sources and may include links to third-party websites. Talent.com has no obligation to include any Job Ads in its search results or other listings and may exclude or remove any Job Ads from the Website for any or no reason.
Job Ads are User Content, meaning that they are created and provided by third parties and not by Talent.com. Talent.com exercises no control over and assumes no responsibility for any User Content generally and Job Ads specifically. Please read over Section C.3 of our Terms of Service on User Content to find out more.
As Talent.com has no obligation to screen any Job Ads or to verify the identity of the Employer posting such Job Ads, we caution Job Seekers to verify the validity of a Job Ad before taking any actions regarding their current employment situations.
When you submit a job application in response to a Job Ad (“Job Application”), you may do so as a registered User through your Profile Account, or as an unregistered User. A Job Ad will prompt you to apply either directly on our Website (“Apply on Talent.com”) or you will be re-directed to apply on the third-party Employer’s site (“Apply on Company Website.”).
Once you submit a Job Application, whether you do so using the Apply on Talent.com or the Apply on Company Website, your CV (Curriculum Vitae) and other application information you decide to submit will be shared with the Employer and/or entity that posted the Job Ad, as long as any parameters selected by that entity are met, if applicable. You should therefore ensure that the information you provide is complete and accurate, and only contains information that you are comfortable sharing. The Employer account holders receiving your Job Application agree to comply with their obligations under these Terms of Service and applicable laws, including data privacy laws, and should not use the information for purposes other than hiring. However, once a Job Application is submitted, Talent.com cannot guarantee that your Job Application will be held in confidence or properly secured by the applicable recipient nor that the Job Application will be received, reviewed, or responded to by the Employer.
When you make a Job Application using the Apply on Company Website feature, you are leaving our Website and entering into a third-party website. Talent.com has no control over any conditions third parties might impose on such third-party website and Talent.com is not responsible or liable for any such third-party content or for the availability of, or the materials located on, or through, any external websites. Your use of all such external websites is at your own risk. When you are entering into an agreement with such parties, you are giving them your data and your rights, and their obligations are determined by their privacy policy and terms of service. You will be notified on the site that these are third party sites and services, and not Talent.com.
When you are making a Job Application using Apply on Talent.com, we collect and process you application data, which may contain Personal Data. To see how we handle your Personal Data when you make a Job Application using Apply on Talent.com, we invite you to read our Privacy Policy.
Talent.com may use your application materials and location to send and present you information and Job Alerts about Jobs Ads that may be of interest to you.
We offer our Users a Job Alerts service where they can receive Job Ads that may be of interest to them based on their profile, job search activity, saved jobs and applied jobs. Our Job Alerts service is accessible via email, and, in certain countries, via text messages (SMS) and WhatsApp.
In addition to manually subscribing to our Job Alerts service, either directly on our Website or through our partners' websites, if you make a Job Application and/or create a Profile Account, you may agree to receive email Job Alerts that may be of interest to you. You can edit or change the type of Job Alerts you want to receive by accessing the Job Alerts tab in your Profile Account. You may unsubscribe to Job Alerts by (a) clicking on the unsubscribe link in your Job Alert email, (b) by unsubscribing from Job Alerts in your Profile Account under "My notifications", (c) by contacting our Customer Service department at [email protected] or (d) by closing your Profile Account. If you have subscribed to SMS or WhatsApp Job Alerts service, you may also unsubscribe by following the instructions in Section A.5. of our Terms of Service. Note that while you can opt out of Job Alert and marketing messages, you cannot opt out of service-related email communications, including those related to security, legal notices, your account, or your use of our Services unless you deactivate your account and stop using our Services.
Depending on your country of residence, Talent.com may offer its Job Alert service through text messages (SMS) and/or WhatsApp. If you subscribe to this Service, you have to be the owner of the mobile telephone entered or be authorised to use this mobile telephone to receive our messages. The number of messages you receive may vary depending on the number of recent jobs matching your search, the jobs you applied to, and if you sent us a message asking us for extra support via text message. Your carrier may charge fees for you to receive messages and may set limits to the number of messages you may receive, which are solely governed by the agreement you have with your carrier. Talent.com is not responsible for undelivered messages caused by any restriction linked to the plan and mobile carrier you have. If you are receiving our Job Alerts via WhatsApp, you acknowledge that your relationship with WhatsApp is governed solely by your agreement with WhatsApp. We disclaim any liability for personally identifiable information that may be provided to us by WhatsApp in violation of the privacy settings that you have set with WhatsApp, of their terms and conditions of services, or of the laws applicable to them. By agreeing to these terms and/or subscribing to Job Alerts, you consent to receive recurring calls and texts by or on behalf of Talent.com and our affiliates and marketing partners for information and advertising purposes, including by automated technology or recorded message, to the numbers(s) you provide. You understand consent is not a condition of purchase, and that you can opt out of future communications as described below.
If you want to stop receiving Job Alerts via SMS, you can do so by following the instructions provided in Section A.4 of our Terms of Service or, if you are in the US or Canada, you can stop receiving Job Alerts via SMS by texting STOP to +1 (844) 794-9497 via your mobile device or, if you are in the UK, by clicking on the unsubscribe link you received from Talent.com via your mobile device. If you want to stop receiving Job Alerts via WhatsApp, you can also revoke your consent at any time by replying "STOP" via WhatsApp.
Depending on your country of residence, Talent.com may provide you with a variety of tools giving you access to salary data (“Salary Tool”), income tax data (“Tax Calculator”) and other career and job market information (“Talentpedia”). Our Salary Tool, Tax Calculator and Talentpedia rely on data submitted to Talent.com by third parties and such data may not be accurate or reliable and is provided for informational purposes only. For example, our Salary Tool uses approximations of salary figures based upon multiple third-party submissions. These figures are given to Users for the purpose of generalized comparison only. Actual salary may differ by jurisdiction and Employer, and you should consult the Employer for actual salary figures related to a specific Job Ad. Similarly, tax-related information provided through our Tax Calculator is based upon multiple third-party submissions. You understand that Talent.com is not giving any tax advice, suggestions, or best-practices through your use of these Services. You should consult a tax expert before making any career decision based on the information we make available through our Tax Calculator. Any use or reliance upon our Salary Tool, Tax Calculator and Talentpedia shall be at your own risk.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or the provisions of Section C.13 of our Terms of Service: (I) SALARY TOOL, TAX CALCULATOR AND TALENTPEDIA ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS; (II) ANY USE OR RELIANCE UPON ANY PORTION OF THE SALARY TOOL, TAX CALCULATOR AND TALENTPEDIA SHALL BE AT YOUR OWN RISK. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS OF DATA USED BY OUR SALARY TOOL, TAX CALCULATOR AND TALENTPEDIA HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE USE OF THIS DATA AND SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, CORRECTNESS, QUALITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND (III) NEITHER WE NOR ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDER OF THIS DATA AND SERVICES SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, COST OR DAMAGE SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY USE BY YOU OF THE SALARY TOOL, TAX CALCULATOR AND TALENTPEDIA.
Unless otherwise required by law, if you are contracting with Talent.com as a Job Seeker, this Agreement and any dispute related to or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or related in any way to our Services, or our relationship (“Dispute”) will be governed by and under the laws of the Province of Québec and the laws of Canada applicable therein, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles thereof.
Unless otherwise required by law or unless you are a Job Seeker located in the United States (in which case the Arbitration Agreement set out in Section A.10 of this Agreement applies), any and all actions, lawsuits, or other legal proceedings related to such Dispute shall be filed only in courts located in the Province of Québec, Canada and you hereby consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located in the Province of Québec, Canada. You also hereby waive any right to a jury trial in connection with any action or litigation in any way arising out of or related to your use of our Services or these Terms of Service.
By using our Service and in return for the Services offered by Talent.com, you acknowledge that we can only offer you the Services under the terms and conditions as presented herein. As partial consideration for your use of our Services, you agree not to sue Talent.com as a class plaintiff or class representative, join as a class member, or participate as an adverse party in any way in a class-action lawsuit against Talent.com regarding your use of our Services, where permitted. Additionally, as a Job Seeker, you acknowledge that your use of our free Services on our Website is not purchased. Your acceptance of this Agreement, including this Class Action Waiver, is an essential part of this Agreement allowing your free use of our Services. If you do not agree to any part of these terms, do not continue your use of our Services. Nothing in this paragraph, however, limits your rights to bring a lawsuit as an individual plaintiff, subject to Sections A.8 and A.10 of this Agreement.
This Section A.10, referred to as the "Agreement to Arbitrate", only applies if you are a resident of the United States at the time you became bound to the Agreement or thereafter. Unless you opt out pursuant to the opt out procedures set forth below, you and Talent.com agree that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any Dispute will, at the election of either party, be resolved by arbitration, including any dispute about arbitrability, such as scope and enforceability. The right and obligation to arbitrate under this Section extends to all Disputes, including those against or involving third parties such as Talent.com or its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, agents, shareholders, members, partners, subsidiaries, joint venturers, or contractors.
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party (“Notice”), by certified first class mail or overnight courier (signature required) or by electronic mail with return and delivery receipts requested for both methods. Talent.com’s address for Notice is: Talent.com Inc., 5800 St-Denis Street, Suite 604, Montreal, Québec, Canada, H2S 3L5, Attention: Legal Department.
The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Talent.com may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Talent.com shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.
Except as expressly provided herein, any arbitration will be conducted pursuant to the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), or such other alternative dispute resolution body and arbitration rules that may be mutually agreed upon by you and Talent.com (the “Arbitration Rules”). Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by such rules. Should the AAA be unavailable, unable, or unwilling to accept and administer the arbitration of any claim under Agreement to Arbitrate as written, the parties shall agree on a substitute arbitration organization, such as JAMS, that will enforce the arbitration provisions as written. The parties will select a single arbitrator, but in the event that the parties are unable to agree, the arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator will be a practicing attorney with significant expertise in litigating and/or presiding over cases involving the substantive legal areas involved in the dispute. The arbitration will be concluded within three months of the date the arbitrator is appointed. More information about arbitration, including the Arbitration Rules, is available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.
Unless otherwise provided by the applicable arbitration rules, any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, including any potentially recoverable attorneys’ fees, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; or (b) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and Talent.com may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
YOU AND TALENT.COM AGREE THAT CLAIMS MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL, NON-CLASS, AND NON-REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, AND THAT CLAIMS OF TWO OR MORE PERSONS MAY NOT BE JOINED OR CONSOLIDATED ABSENT CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND TALENT.COM HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JURY, EVEN FOR DISPUTES NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. You and Talent.com agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration and will instead be adjudicated by the appropriate court of the state where you are located: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or Talent.com intellectual property rights; (2) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy or unauthorised use by you; and (3) any claim or dispute for which applicable law (as determined by a binding court decision) or the applicable arbitration rules do not permit arbitration and require adjudication in a specific civil court.
You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in this Section A.10 by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to Talent.com Inc., 5800 St-Denis Street, Suite 604, Montreal, Québec, Canada, H2S 3L5, Attention: Legal Department or to Talent.com Inc., 2915 Ogletown Road, #4411, Newark, DE 19713. The written notice must include: (1) name; (2) address; (3) phone number; and (4) a clear statement that you wish to opt out of this Agreement to Arbitrate. The notice must be sent to Talent.com within thirty (30) days of you registering to use the Services or agreeing to these Terms of Service, whichever occurs first, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of Section A.10. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them. Please note that you will continue to be bound by any older arbitration provision that you did not out opt of and any arbitration provision that otherwise governs the Disputes.
Unless prohibited by applicable law or the Arbitration Rules, the substantially prevailing party in any Dispute between the parties may recover their reasonable costs and fees incurred in connection with such matter, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
If any provision of this Agreement to Arbitrate is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced, except that if the class action waiver above is found unenforceable, the entire Agreement to Arbitrate is void, other than the jury waiver provision.
Talent.com offers Employers the ability to manage and maximize the efficiency of their recruitment campaigns by allowing them to (i) post and/or distribute Job Ads (ii) manage the parameters of recruitment campaigns and analyse their efficiency through our employer dashboard and (iii) receive, view, and manage Job Applications. As an Employer, you can use our Services on your behalf as a direct employer or on behalf of others including but not limited to, as an agency.
To access some of our online Services available to Employers, including our tool to create and post your Job Ads directly on our Website and our online dashboard to manage your recruitment campaigns, you must create an Employer account (“Employer Account”) where you will be required to provide your name, your last name, a valid email address, phone number, company name, postal address, number of employees, and a password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information. You agree to notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorised use of your Employer Account or access to your password.
As an Employer, your account is for business use and not for personal use. You are solely responsible for all activity, acts or omissions of any person or entity that has access or use of your account (your “Authorised Users”). You may modify user permissions at any time in your settings. Additionally, you agree that: (i) you will not share login credentials and account information with third parties; (ii) you will not sell or sublicense access to your account or the Services; (iii) you will not charge, or receive payment, in cash or in kind, from any individual or entity for use of, or access to, any portion of the Services; (iv) you will ensure that Authorised Users comply with this Agreement and any other Terms of Service or other agreement that you have with Talent.com; (v) you will immediately notify Talent.com of any suspected or alleged violation of this Agreement and cooperate with Talent.com with any investigation. You further agree to indemnify and hold harmless Talent.com from any allegations, claims, actions, suits, demands, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses, settlements, judgments, costs and expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and costs) that result from the authorised or unauthorised access to your account, and any authorised or unauthorised purchases made under your account.
Talent.com will post and distribute your Job Ads and other recruitment-related data or information that you or your Authorised Users provide to us, throughout our distribution channels, including on our Website and mobile applications, through our Job Alerts service to Job Seekers and through our network of third-party publishing partners (our “Distribution Channels”). In addition to your Job Ads, you may provide other recruitment-related data or information, including, without limitation, screening requirements, screening questions, screening criteria, company information, links, logos and trademarks and any other data and information submitted by you and your Authorised Users to the Service (the “Employer User Content”). Your Employer User Content may be provided to Talent.com for posting and distribution on our Distribution Channels either using our job posting Services or via different transmission methods, as agreed to with Talent.com, including XML feed, API or by allowing Talent.com to index the User Content that is present on another website or service you own or control to retrieve such User Content for use on the Services. If you use Talent.com's API, you agree to comply with our API documentation.
By submitting Job Ads to Talent.com, including using a paid feature of our Services, you agree that Talent.com is under no obligation to accept, publish, or distribute your Job Ads or other Employer User Content, including if they do not comply with this Agreement. Talent.com may, under its sole discretion, require Employer User Content and/or Employers to be verified to prevent fraud or abuse of our Services, to improve our Services, or for any other reason.
You agree that Talent.com may solely determine which Job Ads will be distributed to which Distribution Channels. However, you acknowledge and accept that we have no control over the Distribution Channels or communication networks, and therefore we provide no guarantee that your Job Ads will be accepted by an entity in the Distribution Channels or be received, read and/or responded to by a Job Seeker. You accept that entities in the Distribution Channels have no obligation to use or display a Job Ad and may reject a Job Ad for any reason or no reason. You agree that Talent.com is not liable to you or any third party if your Job Ad is rejected or not posted, and you will not be entitled to any refund for Job Ad not posted or distributed. By submitting a Job Ad, you give us permission to distribute that Job Ad and any other Employer User Content in the Distribution Channels.
Talent.com does not guarantee any responses or any number of responses to your Job Ad, nor does it guarantee any number of views, clicks, or applications, or that any responses to your Job Ad will be from individuals suitable for the job vacancy you advertised. We do not verify the identity of any Job Seekers who respond to your Job Ad and thus make no guarantee as to the quality of candidates that you will receive as a result of your Job Ad. You are solely responsible for interviewing, performing background and reference checks on, verifying the information provided by Job Seekers, and for selecting an appropriate candidate. Talent.com also assumes no responsibility for the communications between you and any Job Seeker.
As an Employer, you are responsible for the Employer User Content you provide to Talent.com for posting and distribution, whether you provide such content on your behalf or the behalf of a third party.
In addition, by using our Services, you agree to the following Job Posting Rules, which prohibit Employer User Content that does any of the following:
You further acknowledge that you are responsible for offering alternative methods of screening, if so, required by law. While Talent.com deploys efforts to design and develop accessible offerings, it does not warrant that the method of delivery of these Job Ads including screening questions is compliant with applicable law, including without limitation the Americans with Disabilities Act and any equivalent or similar applicable law.
You agree that Talent.com may, at its sole discretion, remove, prevent the posting, or take any action we deem necessary regarding Employer User Content which in the sole judgement of Talent.com, violates or may violate our Terms of Service, applicable laws, rules, regulations, or third-party terms as we may deem appropriate. We may also disclose your identity or other information about you to any third party who claims that Employer User Content violates their rights, including their intellectual property rights or their right to privacy. We may also take legal action, including without limitation, referral to law enforcement, for any illegal or unauthorised use of the Website or the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, we have the right to cooperate fully with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity or other information of anyone posting any materials on or through the Website.
No reimbursement will be issued for pre-paid services if we decide to remove your Employer User Content. We reserve the right to modify your Job Ad to optimize the listing as we deem appropriate, without notifying you, including by editing the job title and correcting the job location. You agree that we may take any and all actions to identify and reduce spam applications. You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for any liability arising out of the publication of Job Ads or materials to which users can access through such Job Ads.
Job Seekers who wish to apply for your Job Ads may only do so by applying directly on our Website (“Apply on Talent.com”) or when re-directed to apply on your company’s website (“Apply on Company Site”).
Talent.com may make available functions that allow you to monitor and manage job applications, such as viewing and downloading a resume, candidate ranking, and hiring process monitoring. Talent.com may inform Job Seekers that you have taken an action with respect to a Job Application. You further agree that Talent.com is not responsible for maintaining or storing such application materials on your behalf. Talent.com may also make available data and analytics as part of our Services for informational purposes only, and disclaims any responsibility or liability for their accuracy, completeness, or reliability, including but not limited to, data such as clicks and conversion rates.
By using our Services as an Employer, you agree to comply with applicable communication, privacy and data protection laws and regulations as they relate to your operations and the residency of the Job Seekers interacting with you in the context of our Services. More specifically, you represent and agree that that: (i) you will use the Personal Data of Job Seekers contained within any Job Application or otherwise obtained or accessed by you through the Services (the “Data”), in accordance with applicable communication, privacy and data protection laws and only for legitimate employment purposes; (ii) you shall not further disclose any such Data to a third party, unless you are an authorised third-party acting on behalf of a client, and you are accessing the Data to source candidates on behalf of your clients for legitimate employment purposes; (iii) you will implement appropriate physical, technical, and administrative measures to protect the Data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction, and you will notify Talent.com immediately in the event of any suspected or actual unauthorised access or disclosure of such Data; (iv) you will not use the contact information from Job Applications to send unsolicited mail, emails, phone calls, text messages, or faxes regarding promotions and/or advertising of your or a third party’s products or services, or to contact or source job seekers for career fairs and business opportunities; and (vi) you will respect the privacy choices of Job Seekers.
For the purposes of this Agreement, “Personal Data” means any information or pieces of information that could identify an individual either directly (e.g., a name) or indirectly (e.g., through pseudonymized data, such as a unique ID number). This means that Personal Data includes things like email/home addresses, usernames, profile pictures, personal preferences, financial information, as well as unique numerical identifiers like a computer’s IP (Internet Protocol) address.
Talent.com makes no representations or warranties regarding any content provided or generated by third parties, including, without limitation, Job Applications. You accept that Talent.com acts as a passive conduit for receipt of Job Applications and has no obligation to screen such information, verify the identity of the person submitting the Job Application, or verify the accuracy of the data or content contained in the Job Application. We do not guarantee any response or the number of responses to your Job Ads or that any responses will be from individuals suitable for the job vacancy you advertised. It is your responsibility to carry out such checks and procedures as are necessary to ensure that individuals who respond to your Job Ads have the required qualifications to meet your requirements.
In addition, you agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Talent.com at your own expense against all costs, claims, damages or expenses incurred by Talent.com for which we may become liable due to any failure by you or your personnel or agents to comply with any of your obligations under this Section and applicable data protection and privacy laws and regulations.
In some instances, you may be able to use Talent.com’s tools for the purpose of measuring the performance of your Job Ads, including for instance, Talent.com’s conversion pixels or server to server integration. These tools are provided as a courtesy, and we may disable them at any time. You are solely responsible for your use of the pixels on your website, and Talent.com disclaims all liability related to such use and provides no warranty regarding the proper functioning of the pixel, any numbers reported, or that use of the pixels would be error free. You are advised not to rely on the pixel. Any such tracking pixel, or analytics generated thereby, shall not be used to dispute, or challenge our click count, which is binding. You agree not to use the information collected using tracking pixels for any purpose other than for measuring the performance of your Job Ads. For example, you may not use the pixel to profile users or for behavioural analytics. To the extent you decide to use such pixels, you agree to be in compliance with all applicable laws, including, but not limited to, privacy and data protection laws and, among other things, update your privacy and cookie policy to describe the use of such pixels and to seek consent for the use of the pixel from users when they enter your website. You agree to defend and indemnify Talent.com from any claim arising from your use of such pixel.
If you access or use Talent.com Services through a third-party platform, such as, without limitation, third-party platforms applicable to Talent.com’s resellers, applicant tracking system partners, job advertising partners, or other strategic partners (each, a “Partner Platform”), you understand and agree that you will only post Job Ads in connection with hiring employees for your own organization, and you agree to abide by our Terms of Service. Talent.com reserves the right, as determined in Talent.com’s sole discretion, to reject or disable your use, or any portion of your use, of the Talent.com Services through a Partner Platform if you post a Job Advertisement in connection with hiring an employee for an organization other than yours.
EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN A SEPARATE WRITTEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND TALENT.COM, THE FOLLOWING TERMS WILL APPLY TO CLIENTS USING PAID SERVICES.
If you are using a paid feature of our Services, you agree to the pricing and payment terms for the applicable Services as set forth below and as outlined on our Website, and you acknowledge that Talent.com may update and modify them from time to time.
Talent.com may charge you in different ways depending on the service provided, including based on “clicks,” defined in this Agreement as a user action that results in a job description being displayed to the Job Seeker. This includes clicks for Job Ads on our Website as well as other websites in the Distribution Channels.

When we provide a free credit for our job posting Services, you may have to provide valid payment and billing information. Your method of payment will not be charged until you have reached your maximum amount of free credit.
In the event that you pay for any Services using a credit card or debit card, you authorise Talent.com to charge your credit or debit card (or other acceptable payment method that you have chosen from those offered) ("Payment Method"), for the applicable fees for the duration of the applicable term of your selected paid Services, together with any applicable sales, use, excise, goods and services tax, consumption or other similar tax applicable to the Services. You may change or update your payment method at any time in your settings. Any payments made by credit card are subject to the approval of our financial partner. A fee may be applicable at the time of the credit card verification, which will be automatically refunded by Talent.com once the validation has been made.
You represent that you are authorised to use the Payment Method on your company’s behalf, and you agree to accept an electronic record of a receipt. You may get a copy of your invoice through your Talent account settings. If at any time your Payment Method will not accept the charge for fees due, you agree that Talent.com may retry the Payment Method until it accepts the charges and/or suspend or terminate your access to the applicable Services, including those of which you do not have an outstanding balance, and that you will continue to remain liable for the full payment for such Services even after your access to the Services has been terminated or suspended.
By providing any Payment Method, you agree that applicable credit card, debit card and billing information may be shared with third parties such as payment processors and credit agencies, and/or collection agencies for the purposes of checking your credit, effecting payment, collecting payments and late fees if applicable, and for providing the applicable Services to you or in order to enforce our agreement with you. You agree that Talent.com may obtain updated payment information for credit and debit cards through payment card networks, card issuers or other third-party sources. You further agree that Talent.com may use the updated card information to charge amounts you owe us. We may also share this information with law enforcement authorities and in response to subpoenas, court orders, and search warrants.
If you elect to use a paid Service where payment is processed through the Website, you agree that your Payment Method on file with us will automatically be charged in accordance with the billing cycle stipulated on the Website for the Services you purchased. If your Payment Method will not accept the charges for the payment when due, Talent.com will attempt to process your Payment Method on the following day until payment is made.
If you elect to use a paid Service where payment is not processed through the Website, you agree to pay any outstanding invoices within thirty (30) days of the invoice date.
Delinquent payments may bear interest at the rate of one-and-one-half percent per month (eighteen percent per annum), or the highest rate permitted by law, if less, from the payment due date until paid in full. You will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by Talent.com in collecting delinquent amounts.
In addition, if you are late in payment of any fees, we reserve the right to either (i) immediately suspend or terminate your access to the applicable Services without notice, and in the event of any such suspension or termination, you will remain responsible for the entire amount of fees owing for such Services; or (ii) bill your credit/debit card on file with us, as the case may be, under this or any other agreement.
If you reasonably dispute any portion of an invoice, you must pay the undisputed portion of the invoice and submit written notice of your dispute (with sufficient detail of the nature of the dispute, the amount and invoices in dispute and information necessary to identify the affected Service(s)) for the disputed amount. All disputes must be submitted to Talent.com in writing within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice with respect to which you have a dispute. You waive the right to dispute any charges not disputed within such thirty (30) day period. In the event that the dispute is resolved against you, you shall pay such amounts plus interest at the rate referenced above.
Our paid Services may be taxable, in which case Talent.com will charge you, in addition to our Service fees, any applicable sales, use, excise, goods and services tax, consumption or other similar tax applicable to the Services. Where the responsibility to remit taxes falls upon Talent.com, the taxes will be added to the Service fees and payable to Talent.com at the same time as the Service fees. Where the responsibility to remit taxes falls upon you, taxes shall not be deducted from the payments to Talent.com, except as required by law, in which case you shall collaborate with Talent.com to complete and produce all documents needed for Talent.com to recuperate such withheld payments. The currency in which we bill you and the applicable taxes that may be charged on our Services are determined by which Talent.com entity you contract with and your country of residence. Your billing currency may differ from the currency you select to see your Employer Account information. In such a case, Talent.com may charge you a service fee to affect the conversion.
You may pause or cancel your use of our Services at any time by going online and (a) pausing or deleting your Job Ad or recruitment campaign or (b) deleting your account, or by giving written notice to your Talent.com account representative. You understand that by pausing or cancelling our Services, you will remain liable to pay Talent.com the entire fees due for the Services delivered prior to the pause or cancellation becoming effective.

You acknowledge that after pausing our Services, you will continue to have access to your account and may reactivate our Services at any time in your settings.

You understand and accept that, to the fullest extent available under applicable law, you will not receive a refund of any pre-paid fees if you cancel, terminate, or decide to no longer use a paid Service, prior to the expiration of those services. In the event that Talent.com suspends, limits, conditions, or terminates your access to the Services and/or your account due to your breach of this Agreement or any other agreement that you have with Talent.com, you understand and accept that you will not receive a refund for any unused time with respect to fees that you have pre-paid for a product or service, and to the extent that you have not paid the applicable fees, you will remain liable to pay Talent.com the entire fees due for the product or service, as applicable.

This Section D is for Users located in the European Union (“EU”) only, pertains to Talent.com’s operations in the EU only and does not apply to Users located elsewhere. In the event of any conflict with any other part of this Agreement, this Section D will take precedence.
The DSA requires online platforms to publish information about their average monthly active users in the EU at least once every six months.
For the six-month period ending on August 31, 2024, calculated as an average, Talent.com had approximately 4.91 million monthly active recipients (as defined by the DSA) of its service in the EU. To calculate the number of monthly active recipients, Talent.com counts the number of unique visitors (excluding bots) who have visited the Talent.com platform through talent.com during a calendar month and takes the average of the past 6 calendar months. This does not include publishers of job advertisements sourced from Talent.com, or other sites connecting to our APIs to pull job advertisements to display to their users.
This information is provided solely to satisfy the requirements of the DSA and should not be used for any other purpose. This information may differ from user metrics reported in other contexts.
Talent.com uses recommender systems (as defined under the DSA) to display Job Ads to Job Seekers. The information used by Talent.com as input into the systems can include information you have provided to Talent.com such as profile information and resume, as well as actions that you have taken on the Website (your “Activity”). These actions can include, for example, previous searches, jobs that you have clicked on, jobs that you have applied to, job alert emails that you have subscribed to and jobs, companies or roles in which you have expressed an interest. To modify or influence the search results you see, you can modify your Activity on the Website.
The appearance of a Job Ad on your job search results page is not a guarantee that the Job Ad is suitable for you. We rank and order Job Ads within search results based on a combination of factors, mainly remuneration paid to Talent.com by Employers and your Activity.
In the job search results page, the most significant criteria in determining the Job Ads suggested to the Job Seeker is the search terms. We place greatest significance on this parameter in order to surface the Job Ads that are most relevant for the Job Seeker (ie, those that a Job Seeker is most likely to click on or apply to).
The DSA states that information is an “advertisement” where it is “presented by an online platform on its online interface against remuneration specifically for promoting that information”. Certain Job Ads published on Talent.com are considered advertisements under the DSA. However, Talent.com does not receive any monetary remuneration for Job Ads that Talent.com indexes organically and therefore, those do not constitute “advertisements” within the EU under the DSA. When Talent.com receives remuneration specifically for promoting information, that Job Ad will be published with a marking, usually the term “Sponsored” or “Promoted”, identifying that information as an “advertisement”.
Employers cannot choose the main parameters Talent.com uses to determine the recipient to whom a “Sponsored” or “Promoted” Job Ad is presented. These paid job ads are presented to Job Seekers mainly based on the Activity as set out above.
Talent.com uses automatic and manual means to moderate user-generated content and identify and remove fraudulent accounts on its Website. We implement rules to automatically flag potentially risky accounts for review by our moderators, and proactively use various tools and subject matter expertise to manually identify accounts that the automatic system may miss.
Additionally, users may report suspected illegal content to Talent.com by writing to [email protected]. Talent.com moderators review each submission and inform the user who has reported the content of Talent.com’s decision in respect of that content. Users who are unhappy with a decision taken by Talent.com in response to a notice of illegal content or a decision to restrict, remove or disable content, services or accounts, may appeal that decision by submitting a complaint to Talent.com’s legal department by writing to [email protected].
If you disagree with a decision we have made in relation to your account or reported content, in addition to filing an appeal with Talent.com’s legal department, you may contact an out-of-court settlement body to settle your dispute. Out-of-court dispute settlement bodies are independent settlement dispute bodies and Talent.com will work in good faith with the selected certified out-of-court dispute resolution entity to resolve the dispute. The European Commission will be maintaining a website listing the available settlement bodies as they become certified by EU member states. Neither you nor Talent.com are bound by decisions made by these out-of-court settlement bodies.
Law enforcement and judicial or administrative authorities, including the European Commission, Member States’ Authorities and the European Board for Digital Services who wish to communicate with us may do so by writing to [email protected].
English or French are the preferred languages for communication with us. Please include your full name and the name of the authority on whose behalf you are contacting Talent.com. The email address that you email from must be associated with the relevant authority.
