Terms of Service for Job Seekers or Candidate

This section of Kudosjob.com’s Terms of Service applies to individuals or organizations accessing the Site as Job Seekers or Candidates. By using Kudosjob.com’s Site and its content, Job Seekers or Candidates agree to use it solely for non-commercial purposes.

Job Listings

Kudosjob.com may provide Job Listings and may aggregate Job Listings from various sources, which advertise employment opportunities and other job-related content, including links to third-party websites, through the Site. Searching for Job Listings on Kudosjob.com is free for Job Seekers or Candidates. While Kudosjob.com may receive compensation from employers who post Job Listings, all Job Listings are considered advertising.

Job Listings are created by third parties over whom Kudosjob.com has no control. Therefore, Job Seekers or Candidates acknowledge and understand that Kudosjob.com has no control over the content of Job Listings, links to or from Job Listings, or any conditions third parties may impose once a Job Seeker has submitted an application or left the Site. Some third parties may try to charge Job Seekers or Candidates a fee to apply to a particular job, although Kudosjob.com endeavors not to make such Job Listings available on the Site. If Job Seekers or Candidates leave the Kudosjob.com Site and choose to enter a third-party website, they accept any terms and conditions imposed by that third-party.

Kudosjob.com may exclude or remove any Job Listings from the Site or search results without any obligation to provide reasoning for such exclusion or removal. Kudosjob.com is not obligated to present Job Seekers or Candidates with any or all Job Listings and cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any Job Listings or other information provided by any Employer or other user. Kudosjob.com assumes no responsibility for the content, accuracy, completeness, legality, reliability, or availability of any Job Listings or other information provided by any Employer or other user, and disclaims all liability related to such Job Listings or other information. Kudosjob.com also has no obligation to screen or include any Job Listings in its search results or other listings.

Resume and Profile

When using the services of Kudosjob.com to create or upload your resume, you are authorizing us to share your resume with individuals who access our website for a fee, including employers who we believe may be interested in your resume or anyone who has access to the URL associated with your resume. You have the option to set your Kudosjob.com profile to private if you do not wish for your resume to be made available to third parties, or if you do not want employers to contact you. However, if you apply to jobs or share your resume with employers, your resume may still be copied and published even if it is set to private. Changing your profile privacy settings will not affect any previous applications or prevent employers from contacting you.

By creating or uploading your resume, you are also authorizing Kudosjob.com, or one of our vendors, to review and scan your resume to provide feedback, including suggested changes, and to provide additional resume review services. We provide this feedback directly to you, and it is not made available to employers. You agree that any actions you take based on the feedback provided are at your own discretion, and Kudosjob.com assumes no responsibility or liability for these actions.

Kudosjob.com may also share job listings with you that match the contents of your resume and highlight items in your resume that match the qualifications of the job listing. However, these highlights do not guarantee that you are qualified for the job or that you should apply for it. Applying for job listings does not guarantee job interviews or hiring, and Kudosjob.com assumes no responsibility or liability for the content, accuracy, completeness, legality, reliability, or availability of job listings or highlights.

If you have a Kudosjob.com account, a Kudosjob.com resume, or an uploaded file resume, you agree that we may associate your resume data with your profile on Kudosjob.com. Your Kudosjob.com profile may be available to third parties, such as employers, unless you set your resume to private and remove your resume documentation. To mitigate fraud, Kudosjob.com may mask or hide your contact information from your Kudosjob.com profile, resume, or application, and may substitute it with an alias. However, Kudosjob.com makes no promise about whether all or part of your contact information will be masked or hidden, and the decision to do so is in our sole discretion. We may also limit your ability to set your resume to show at any time to prevent illegal conduct, fraud, or for any other reason in our discretion. Kudosjob.com makes no guarantee that your resume will be shown to any particular employer or that any portion of our resume database will be available to an employer at any particular time.

Applying through Kudosjob.com

Kudosjob.com has the right to set limits on your ability to apply for Job Listings or use other Kudosjob.com services to maintain the quality of the Site and Services. Before submitting an application, you are responsible for reviewing and confirming the Employer you are applying to. Once you provide information to an Employer through Kudosjob.com, Kudosjob.com has no control over the Employer’s use or disclosure of that information. If you want to request the Employer to modify, delete, or maintain confidence over any such information, you must make such a request directly to the Employer. If you require alternative methods of applying, you must contact the Employer directly, as Kudosjob.com is not responsible for the Employer application process.

When you request Kudosjob.com to submit your application or other information through Kudosjob.com Apply, you authorize Kudosjob.com to make such information available to the applicable Employer(s) for the indicated Job Listing(s). You agree to Kudosjob.com’s automated processing of your application, as such processing is an essential part of this Agreement.

Kudosjob.com may assemble your application materials, resume, answers to screener questions, assessment responses, and other information you provide into one document when Employers request it. Kudosjob.com will attempt to send your application to the contact information provided to us by an Employer or their Agent when you apply to a job using Kudosjob.com Apply, which may include sending your application to an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) or other service provider selected by the Employer. By applying for a job through Kudosjob.com, you agree to Employer’s use of such service providers, and we cannot guarantee that such messages and applications will be delivered, received, accessed, read, or acted upon.

Kudosjob.com has no responsibility for expired Job Listings or for delivering applications prior to a Job Listing’s expiration. Kudosjob.com and its third-party providers may store your application and related information regardless of whether a Job Listing has been closed or is no longer available on the Site. Kudosjob.com is not responsible for technical malfunctions, including the failure in the delivery of applications, on any third-party sites, including ATSs.

 

You acknowledge that Kudosjob.com is not responsible for the content of the Employer’s job application, messages, screener questions, skills assessments, or their format or method of delivery. Kudosjob.com does not guarantee the validity of a job offer and advises you to verify the validity of a job offer before taking any adverse action regarding your current employment situation. You are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of any Employer or job offer.

If you are uncomfortable with Kudosjob.com storing your application or messages on Kudosjob.com’s or third-party providers’ servers or sending applications and messages in this manner, do not use Kudosjob.com.
