Free and Paid Job Boards
SyncHR Recruit offers its users the option to indicate a preference to post an active job posting(s) in a user’s SyncHR Recruit account to SyncHR Recruit’s network of free job boards. SyncHR Recruit also offers its users the option to purchase advertising for an active job posting(s) in a user’s SyncHR Recruit account to participating members of SyncHR Recruit’s network of paid online job boards. 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.
