Terms of Service

The gist:

We here at SyncHR Recruit run an online recruiting service and would love for you to use it. Our basic service has a free trial, and we offer paid plans depending on the number of jobs posted and desired features. Our service is designed to give you as much control and ownership over what goes on your job listing service as possible. However, be responsible in your use of our software. In particular, make sure that none of the prohibited items listed below appear on your job listing service, or get linked to from your service (things like spam, viruses, or hate content).

SyncHR Recruit reserves the right to remove any posting(s) if, based on, but not limited to, the following guidelines, the information contained in the posting:

Each participating member of SyncHR Recruit’s free and paid job board network has its own set of terms and conditions governing the posting of jobs on its job board website. For this reason, SyncHR Recruit reserves the right to suppress from free and/or paid syndication any posting for any reason. Suppressing an active job posting from syndication is not a decision we take lightly, but is sometimes necessary due to participating members’ job posting terms and conditions. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that a user's job posting is in compliance with the terms and conditions of any job board (free or paid) the user wishes to post a position to. SyncHR Recruit will not collect payment from a user for advertising a job posting where SyncHR Recruit does not and/or cannot syndicate the job posting to the paid job board in question. The participating members of this free and paid online job board network are subject to change.
