The rules may change from time to time and you are advised to refer to them regularly.
1. The job posted must exist in the town advertised, unless it is a franchise opportunity (which must be stated in the description).
2. The job title should be specific and be the best description for the role. It must not include locations or salaries and should not be a slogan (e.g. Great Opportunity or Money To Be Made!).
3. Emails and URLs within job descriptions are not allowed. We will automatically remove these.
4. The description of the role should mention the required skills as well as details describing the role. Contact names should not be mentioned in the job description.
5. If the job role offers training and there is a charge for this then the vacancy must state this and this vacancy will then be branded with our 'learn to earn' banner. Training courses must be advertised separately within our training section.
6. Advertisements which discriminate (or appear to discriminate) on grounds of sex, race, age or disability are illegal and may result in proceedings being taken against both the advertiser and the publisher. Advertisements are accepted by Resume-Library on the basis that the advertiser confirms that any requirement or qualification which may appear to discriminate illegally is in compliance with any exemption available under the relevant legislation. Notwithstanding this confirmation, if we nonetheless believe that an advertisement may be discriminatory we may at our discretion either amend the advertisement or remove it from Resume-Library without liability to you to make any refund of amounts paid or due to be paid in respect of the posting or otherwise and will inform you accordingly.
7. The vacancy should accurately describe the role and not mislead the Candidate; sufficient detail should be included in order for the Candidate to understand the nature of the role and the basic requirements of the role. If a role requires a Candidate to work in multiple locations then the vacancy must state this; if the role is selling a product/service 'door-to-door' then the vacancy must state this; similarly, if the role is a commission only role then this must be stated on the vacancy.
Your job posting(s) can be distributed to and displayed across our network of selected partner sites (for details of our partner sites please see www.resume-library.com/hiring/partner-network). Your job posting(s) can be excluded from selected/all partner sites upon request by contacting your Client Response Coordinator. The following cannot be guaranteed:
1. your job posting(s) will appear on our entire network
2. the job posting(s) will appear on specific partner sites
3. the ranking/positioning of your job(s) on any of our partner sites
Job credits must be used within the Fixed Term; time will not be extended for job credits that have not been posted or posted part of the way through the Fixed Term (for example, if you Register for one job credit over a one month fixed term and this is posted on the 21st day the job will expire on the last day of the one month fixed term).
You agree to deal fairly and professionally with individuals you may contact using information from the Candidate database and not do anything which may bring Resume-Library into disrepute. You will indemnify Resume-Library from and against any claim brought by an individual against Resume-Library arising from your breach of this obligation or any other of these terms and conditions.
All information provided to you by us is confidential you will not disclose your username and/or password to any persons outside of your company. If disclosure occurs we reserve the right to terminate this agreement immediately and seek compensation. Passwords are for the sole use of the person to whom they are issued. Passwords must be kept confidential and secure. We may deny access to a password if we reasonably believe that it is being used by an unauthorised person or that the user is breaching these terms and conditions. You agree to notify us as soon as reasonably possible in the event that your password is, or may be, known to any person(s) other than those within your organization. Upon notification of such an event, we will render such password inoperable, and will issue a new password by a mutually agreed method (telephone or email or post).
Other than through our negligence or wilful default, we shall not be liable for any losses, damages or claims which result directly or indirectly from any person obtaining any passwords that we have issued you. Our total liability to the Customer in respect of any Services, except for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, is limited to the total amount paid to us during the Contract Term for such Services or $10,000, whichever is the greater.
