for LocalJobs.com
Updated as of September 25, 2020

LocalJobs.com LLC (hereinafter "LocalJobs.com", "Site") provides a Job Board that allows Job Seekers to post resumes and apply for Jobs and Employers and Recruiters to post job postings using the Internet. The following are the terms and conditions for LocalJobs.com.

TERMS OF SERVICE FOR JOB SEEKERS

1. Job Ads or Job Listings

   LocalJobs, which is free to those individuals searching for employment openings (“Job Seekers”), may make available Job Ads advertising employment opportunities and other job-related content, including links to third-party websites (“Job Listings” or “Job Ads”), through LocalJobs’s search results or otherwise through the Site. Searching for Job Ads on LocalJobs is free for Job Seekers. Job Ads are created and provided by third parties over whom LocalJobs exercises no control; you acknowledge and understand that LocalJobs has no control over the content of Job Ads, links to or from Job Ads, or any conditions third parties might impose once a Job Seeker has submitted an application or left the Site. For example, some of these third parties may attempt to charge Job Seekers a fee to apply to a particular job, although LocalJobs endeavors not to make such Job Ads available on the Site. If you leave the LocalJobs Site and choose to enter a third-party website, you accept any terms and conditions imposed by that third-party. Except for featured or paid placements, the Job Ads contained on, or linked from, the Site are indexed or posted in an automated manner. LocalJobs has no obligation to screen any Job Ads, or to include any Job Ads in its search results or other listings, and may exclude or remove any Job Ads from the Site for any or no reason. We cannot confirm the accuracy or completeness of any Job Ad or other information submitted by any Employer or other user, including the identity of such Employer or other user. LocalJobs assumes no responsibility, and disclaims all liability for the content, accuracy, completeness, legality, reliability, or availability of any Job Ads, Company Pages, screener questions and responses, and assessments. Additionally, LocalJobs may provide search options to narrow down Job Ads search results by job type categories (i.e. full-time, part-time, etc.), and such categories are created independently and entirely by LocalJobs, and may not directly or accurately reflect the content of the Job Ads. LocalJobs may reformat Job Listings so that you may read them more clearly on a mobile phone. While LocalJobs may in some circumstances be compensated by employers who post Job Ads, helping keep LocalJobs job search free for Job Seekers, all Job Ads are considered advertising. LocalJobs displays Job Ads based on search terms and other activity on LocalJobs. You are not permitted to use LocalJobs’s Site or its content other than for non-commercial purposes. For purposes of this Section A of the LocalJobs General Terms of Service, all references to “you” or “your” shall mean you, the individual or organization accessing this Site in your capacity as a Job Seeker.
    

2. Visible and Public Resumes and Recommended Jobs

   By creating a VISIBLE resume through the Site, you are requesting and authorizing LocalJobs to make available your resume to third parties, such as Employers, that LocalJobs believes may have an interest in your resume. To protect your privacy, LocalJobs may mask or hide your contact information, such as your email address and phone number(s) and require that an Employer request a CONTACT/CONNECTION with you in order to unmask and reveal your contact information.  Such information will not be revealed without your personal approval.

   By creating a VISIBLE resume also set to PUBLIC on LocalJobs (an “LocalJobs Resume”), LocalJobs may promote your resume publically by showing a snippet, including your profile photo.  Your resume will be publicly visible EXCEPT your contact details (email and phone number) will remain masked.  An Employer must request a CONTACT/CONNECTION with you in order to unmask and reveal your contact information.  Such information will not be revealed without your personal approval.

   Additionally, by creating or uploading a resume on LocalJobs, LocalJobs my share with you Job Listings that match the contents of your LocalJobs Resume. LocalJobs assumes no responsibility and disclaims all liability for the resume or application information you post, send or receive through the Site. If you see any inaccuracy in any such material, it is your responsibility to correct such information or to contact LocalJobs to do so. LocalJobs may also automatically send you recommended jobs via the email address you use to create a LocalJobs account or apply to a job. LocalJobs may determine what these recommended jobs are on the basis of a variety of factors, including but not limited to, any information you input on the Site about yourself (including in your LocalJobs Resume), searches you run on the Site, jobs you click on, jobs you apply to, or the materials you provide in a job application to an Employer through LocalJobs.
    

3. Applying to Jobs Through LocalJobs

   Any resume or application information that you submit through the Site, including Personal Data included in a resume, application or responses to JobAlert pop-ups are subject to this Agreement and to LocalJobs’s Privacy Policy. Once you provide information to an Employer (whether in the form of a job application, resume, email, or otherwise), LocalJobs does not have control over the Employer’s use or disclosure of that information. If you want to request the Employer delete, modify, or maintain confidence over any such information, you must make such a request directly to the Employer. (All references on the Site to “Apply” or “Apply Now”, or any similar references mean “LocalJobs Apply.”) LocalJobs may use your application materials to determine whether you may be interested in a Job Listing, and LocalJobs may reach out to you about such Job Listing. LocalJobs may store such information regardless of whether a Job Listing has been closed or is no longer available on the Site. To maintain the quality of the Site and Services, LocalJobs in its sole discretion may impose limits on your ability to apply to Job Listings or to other LocalJobs services. In addition, when you indicate your interest in a Job Listing through LocalJobs Apply you are requesting and authorizing LocalJobs to make available such application information to the applicable Employer(s) for such Job Listing(s). When you ask LocalJobs to transmit an application or a message to an Employer via LocalJobs Apply or LocalJobs’s relay system, or store such application, you understand that this is without warranty, and that LocalJobs reserves the right to reformat such application or message.

   When you apply to a job using LocalJobs Apply, LocalJobs will attempt to send your application to the contact information provided to us by an Employer or their Agent. We cannot guarantee that such messages and applications will be delivered, received, accessed, read or acted upon. LocalJobs also does not guarantee that any Employer will receive, be notified about, access, read or respond to any such resume or other application material, or that there will be no mistakes in the transmission or storage of the data. However, LocalJobs may alert you when any of the above events occur. Please note that Job Ads may expire between the time you submit your application and from the time it is received. LocalJobs has no responsibility for expired Job Ads or for delivering applications prior to a Job Ad’s expiration. In addition we cannot vouch for the validity of the contact information provided to us by Employers. We also cannot vouch for the technical capabilities of any third party sites, including but not limited to Applicant Tracking Systems (ATSs). If you do not feel comfortable sending an application or messages in this manner, or having your application or messages stored on LocalJobs, do not use the LocalJobs Apply or LocalJobs relay functions and please send your application or messages directly to the Employer by whatever other method you so choose, including the public mail system. You may contact the Employer directly to find alternative methods of application if you do not wish to apply through LocalJobs. By using the LocalJobs Apply system, you fully consent to the above.

   If you require alternative methods of screening or application you must approach the Employer directly to request such as LocalJobs is not responsible for the Employer application process.

Please note that LocalJobs does not choose the questions asked by Employers or decide the job qualification criteria of Employers. Some questions may be labeled as Optional, indicating only that the application may be submitted to the Employer without providing an answer. LocalJobs cannot guarantee that the Employer will consider such an application or make a particular determination with regard to such an application. LocalJobs may inform Job Seekers that an Employer’s requirement from a job description does not appear to be present on a resume; this information is presented without warranty and LocalJobs does not guarantee that updating a resume will result in any job offer. LocalJobs does not guarantee the identity of an Employer or any individuals working for any Employers, and cautions Job Seekers when applying to jobs. LocalJobs cannot make any guarantee regarding health and safety measures in an Employer’s hiring or interviewing process. LocalJobs recommends Job Seekers follow personal health and safety best practices as recommended by the World Health Organization or similar institution. LocalJobs does not guarantee the validity of a job offer and cautions Job Seekers to verify the validity of a job offer before taking an adverse action regarding their current employment situations. Job Seekers are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of any Employer or job offer.
    

4. Communications and Other Actions on the Site

   When you view, send, store or receive materials (including Job Listings, resumes, and messages) through or using the Site, LocalJobs may, for example, use such materials for data analysis, quality control, or to refine the Site or any other LocalJobs product or service (including to provide better search results and other listings for Job Seekers and Employers), whether via automated means or otherwise. When an Employer views, sends, stores or receives materials through or using the Site, LocalJobs may also inform you that an Employer has taken an action with regards to a Job Ad, your Resume, or your application, such as pausing or closing a Job Ad, opening your Resume or application, viewing your Resume or application, responding to your Resume or application, and making a decision with regards to your application or Job Ad. LocalJobs may inform the Employer about activities you take on the Site or your use of the Site, for example, whether you are online on LocalJobs, and you hereby consent to LocalJobs taking such actions.

LocalJobs will only send you a text message reminder for such interview and you agree to accept such text message reminder on your cell phone, including messages sent by automated telephone dialing system. Please note that since these text message services depend on the functionality of third-party providers, there may be technical delays on the part of those providers. We also cannot vouch for the technical capabilities of any third parties to receive such text messages.

   LocalJobs may also insert functionality into messages relating to your application allowing you to place calls directly to third parties. Please note this functionality is provided solely as a courtesy and that such calls are not placed through or tracked by LocalJobs. Your standard calling rates with your phone provider will apply.

   You may receive messages, including but not limited to text messages, emails or email notifications corresponding with your activity on or use of the Site, LocalJobs Apply, LocalJobs Chat, or any other communications service, product, or feature provided on or through the Site. In all cases, such messages or notifications are provided solely as a courtesy. LocalJobs may use your email address to create an alias email address for your communication, in lieu of displaying your actual email address to the Employer. LocalJobs disclaims all warranties with regards to the transmission or storage of such courtesy notices, does not guarantee their delivery or receipt, and does not guarantee the date or time at which they may be sent. In the event a message being sent is intended for a closed account, these messages will not be deliverable.

   LocalJobs reserves the right to turn on or enable LocalJobs Chat or other communication options for select Employers or Job Listings, in its sole discretion, and to notify you that LocalJobs Chat or other communication options are available for a particular job or Employer. For LocalJobs Chat, you may access or view your messages by visiting your LocalJobs Chat messages dashboard. LocalJobs may, in its sole discretion, turn off or disable LocalJobs Chat for any Employer or Job Seeker at any time without prior notice. Please note that if you are using LocalJobs Chat to communicate with an Employer, LocalJobs will deliver your messages as instructed by the Employer.

You also agree that LocalJobs may contact you based on this observed behavior on behalf of Employers or LocalJobs itself. Please note, the aforementioned actions do not include information sent to you by a third party, however, LocalJobs may publicly display the fact that you have recently used the LocalJobs Site to correspond with a third party. In addition, if you set your Resume to PUBLIC, this means that LocalJobs may share all of the aforementioned information about yourself with third-party Employers.
