MetaJobs General Terms of Service
Below you will find MetaJobs’ terms and conditions, along with information about our cookie and privacy policies. We understand that this is a substantial amount of information, but we provide it for a reason: we want you to have complete transparency regarding what we do for you at MetaJobs. We do not want you to have any uncertainty about our processes or policies or to wonder what your interaction with MetaJobs entails. Our goal is to ensure you understand everything clearly, which is why we explain it in detail. We encourage you to read these terms or any section that interests you. By continuing to use MetaJobs, you agree to these terms.
Last updated: 25 March 2025
Introduction to MetaJobs Terms of Service
All users refers to every type of participant who interacts with the platform. These users typically fall into the following categories:
1. Job Seekers (Candidates)
Individuals looking for employment opportunities. Their activities may include:
2. Employers (Companies & Recruiters)
Businesses, recruiters, or hiring managers posting jobs and searching for talent. Their activities may include:
3. Platform Administrators (MetaJobs Team)
Admins responsible for managing and maintaining the platform, ensuring it runs smoothly. Their tasks include:
4. Third-Party Service Providers
These may include:
A. Terms of Service for Job Seekers
For the purposes of this Section A of the MetaJobs General Terms of Service, all references to “you” or “your” refer to you as an individual or organization accessing this site in your capacity as a Job Seeker. As a Job Seeker, you are permitted to use MetaJobs’ platform and content solely for non-commercial purposes. Additionally, you agree that the Terms of Service for All Users also apply to you. In cases where the Terms of Service for All Users overlap or conflict with the Terms of Service for Job Seekers, the Terms of Service for Job Seekers shall take precedence.
MetaJobs 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 the Site’s search results or otherwise through the Site. Searching for Job Ads on the Site is free for Job Seekers. The Site displays Job Ads based on a combination of compensation paid by employers to MetaJobs and relevance, such as search terms, and other information provided and activities conducted on the Site. While MetaJobs may in some circumstances be compensated by employers who post Job Ads, helping keep MetaJobs job search free for Job Seekers, all Job Ads are considered advertising.
Job Ads are created and provided by third parties over whom MetaJobs exercises no control; you acknowledge and understand that MetaJobs 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 MetaJobs endeavors not to make such Job Ads available on the Site. If you leave the MetaJobs Site and choose to enter a third-party website, you accept any terms and conditions imposed by that third party. Except for sponsored, featured, or paid placements, the Job Ads contained on, or linked from, the Site are indexed or posted in an automated manner. MetaJobs 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 or your search results without any obligation to provide reasoning for removal or exclusion. You understand and agree that MetaJobs has no obligation to present you with any or all Job Ads. 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. MetaJobs assumes no responsibility and disclaims all liability for the content, accuracy, completeness, legality, reliability, or availability of any Job Ads, or other information submitted by any Employer or other user.
When you initiate a job application on a website operated by an Employer or its applicant tracking system, MetaJobs may collect certain information about you and any actions taken by you during your visit using automated means, such as via Application Programming Interfaces (API), cookies, pixels, and web beacons. The information collected includes, for example, information about job listings you viewed and job applications you started and completed. An Employer who uses tracker functionality is required under this Agreement to provide any notice and obtain any prior consent that may be required by applicable law. MetaJobs has no control over such an Employer or its website. MetaJobs’ use of, and receipt of information from, any such tracker functionality will be according to this Agreement and MetaJobs’ Privacy Policy.
MetaJobs may provide independent functionality to assist you. For example, MetaJobs may provide search options to help you 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 MetaJobs and may not directly or accurately reflect the content of the Job Ads. MetaJobs may reformat Job Listings so that you may read them more clearly on a mobile phone. MetaJobs may also promote Job Ads by select Employers on certain pages or websites dedicated to a specific topic, such as inclusive hiring or military-friendly job posts. The placement of a Job Ad on a dedicated page or website is not a representation regarding the nature of the role for legal purposes (for example, gig economy postings are not necessarily limited to contractor status jobs and may also include engagements for employment relationships) or a representation regarding the attributes of an Employer. MetaJobs does not guarantee that applying to jobs through a dedicated page or website will lead to a better job application experience, a job interview, or a job offer. The dedicated pages or websites do not contain an exhaustive list of Job Ads, and no inferences can be drawn with respect to Job Ads or Employers that are not displayed on dedicated pages. MetaJobs may also provide functionality to call a telephone number contained in a Job Ad using the phone app on a mobile device. MetaJobs cannot guarantee that the extracted phone number is the correct phone number for the Employer or for the Job Ad you are viewing.
By creating or adding information to a profile through the Site or uploading a file resume on the Site (collectively, “Your Profile” or “Job Seeker Profile” or “MetaJobs Profile”), you are requesting and authorizing MetaJobs to make available Your MetaJobs Profile to anyone accessing our Site, such as Employers that MetaJobs believes may have an interest in Your Profile, users of MetaJobs’ Resume Search Program or Smart Sourcing, or anyone with access to the URL associated with your searchable Profile. We offer you the option to make Your Profile searchable on the Site to help you find a job. You are responsible for keeping Your Profile accurate and up-to-date. Any information that you submit through the Site, including information in Your Profile, is subject to this Agreement and to MetaJobs’ Privacy Policy.
When you create or add information to Your Profile on the Site, Your Profile is set to searchable on the Site (“Searchable”) by default. If you do not want MetaJobs to make Your Profile available to third parties or if you do not want Employers to contact you, set your MetaJobs Profile and uploaded file resume to not searchable or “cannot be found” through the Site (“Not Searchable”). This can be done by going to your “Profile” page and changing the settings to “not searchable” or “employers can’t find you on MetaJobs.” Profiles that are not searchable on the Site are only made available to those to whom the Job Seeker has submitted an application or provided their resume. Applying to jobs or otherwise sharing Your Profile with Employers may result in Your Profile being copied and published even if it is set to Not Searchable. While you may change Your Profile privacy settings at any time, setting Your Profile to Not Searchable will not affect your previous applications or prevent employers you responded to from contacting you. Profiles set to Searchable, including yours, can be copied by search engines and other third parties accessing the Site, who can then make those Profiles publicly available elsewhere. MetaJobs does not control such third parties. If Your Profile is copied in this manner, then setting it to Not Searchable on the Site will not affect those third parties or the copies they have made of Your Profile. Changes to Your Profile on the Site may or may not be reflected on copies made by third parties. Even if your Profile is set to Searchable, we may hide your Profile from your current or prior employers, but cannot guarantee that you will not be found by these employers. If you do not want Your Profile to ever be publicly visible or copyable, you must keep it set to Not Searchable. MetaJobs may set any Searchable Profile to Non-Searchable, or otherwise make it unavailable, if it contains content prohibited by this Agreement or for any other reason in MetaJobs’ sole discretion. MetaJobs assumes no responsibility and disclaims all liability for Your Profile, your information, or application information that you share with Employers or otherwise make public. You can read more about privacy on MetaJobs here.
Do not include sensitive or confidential information, such as a background check, credit report, medical or health information, social security number or other identification numbers, in your MetaJobs Profile that you do not wish to be viewable by employers or others. If MetaJobs discovers or determines that data contained in your MetaJobs Profile is sensitive or confidential, we may hide that data from employers. We cannot guarantee that this data will not be shown to employers or others.
In the United States, MetaJobs may make publicly available information aggregated from various sources searchable by third parties (like Employers) through our MetaJobs Resume Search or Smart Sourcing offering. We make that information available on a limited basis and for a limited time to help connect you to potential Employers about their Job Listings or job opportunities, and such information is not used for apply purposes. You may remove your publicly available information from our MetaJobs Resume Search or Smart Sourcing offering and unsubscribe from receiving potential job opportunities from Employers by following the unsubscribe link in our messages. To delete your publicly available information from our Site, submit this form.
As we continue to improve the Site, you may see phrases like ‘Employers can find you’ and ‘Employers can’t find you’. For the purposes of the Terms, these phrases are synonymous with the previously employed terms ‘Searchable’ and ‘Not Searchable,’ respectively. These phrases are only a rephrasing for the purpose of enhancing user understanding, and they in no way alter the substantive rights, obligations, or protections provided under our Terms.
By creating or adding information or a resume to Your Profile, you are requesting and authorizing MetaJobs, or a MetaJobs vendor, to review or scan Your Profile and resume(s) and provide you feedback (at MetaJobs’ discretion), including suggested changes, other jobs you may consider applying to because your qualifications may match their requirements, and suggestions for additional information you may want to include with your application to a particular job. We may also provide you with feedback through additional resume review services, such as helping you understand how your resume or profile may be parsed by applicant tracking system software, feedback on ways to build a more effective resume or profile, or a personalized resume review video. We provide this feedback directly to you and may give you the ability to access it within your account. It is not made available to Employers. You agree that your use of any feedback or other information provided through resume review services is at your sole discretion. You are the only one responsible for deciding which jobs to apply to and what to include in your applications. MetaJobs assumes no responsibility and disclaims all liability for any actions you take based on any provided feedback. MetaJobs does not guarantee that any recommended jobs are suited for you.
By creating or adding information to a MetaJobs Profile or uploading a file resume on the Site, MetaJobs may share with you Job Ads that match the contents of Your Profile. MetaJobs may also highlight to you items in Your Profile that may match qualifications from the Job Ad, or highlight to you items that appear in the Job Ad and may be missing from Your Profile. These highlights do not mean you are or are not qualified for the job or that you should or should not apply for it. Applying for such Job Ads does not guarantee job interviews or hiring. Even where MetaJobs highlights items or a Job Ad is shared with you, MetaJobs assumes no responsibility, and disclaims all liability for the content, accuracy, completeness, legality, reliability, or availability of Job Ads or highlights.
Applying to Jobs Through the Site Any profile, resume, or application information that you submit through the Site, including Personal Data included in a resume, application, or responses to screener or other questions (“MetaJobs Apply”), is subject to this Agreement (including Sections D.3 and D.4.) and to MetaJobs’ Privacy Policy (all references on the Site to “Apply Now”, “Easily Apply”, “Simple Apply”, “Apply from your phone”, “Apply with MetaJobs”, “RSVP to hiring event” or any similar references mean “MetaJobs Apply”). To maintain the quality of the Site and Services, MetaJobs in its sole discretion may impose limits on your ability to apply to Job Listings or to other MetaJobs services. Use of any automation, scripting, or bots to automate the MetaJobs Apply process outside of MetaJobs' official vendors and tooling is prohibited.
Prior to submitting your application through MetaJobs Apply, you will be given the opportunity to review the information. It is important that you review this information carefully, including all attached files, to ensure that what is being submitted is accurate and complete, and that you are applying to your desired Employer and submitting the desired information to that Employer. You are solely responsible for the contents of the application that you submit, including all attached files. Once you provide information to an Employer (whether in the form of a job application, MetaJobs Profile data, resume, email, interview material, or otherwise), MetaJobs 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. Unsubscribing from calls from Employers through the Site does not apply to interviews you have already scheduled. If you require alternative methods for applying, you must approach the Employer directly to request such an alternative method, as MetaJobs is not responsible for the Employer application process.
When you ask MetaJobs to submit your application or other information through MetaJobs Apply, you are sending your resume and application information to MetaJobs, and you are requesting and authorizing MetaJobs to make available such application information to the applicable Employer(s) for the indicated Job Listing(s). You further agree to MetaJobs’ performance of automated processing in relation to your application, as such processing is an essential part of this Agreement. When you ask MetaJobs to transmit an application or a message, including, but not limited to, a signed offer letter, to an Employer via MetaJobs Apply or the Site’s relay system, or store such application, you understand that this is without warranty, and that MetaJobs reserves the right to reformat such application or message. Additionally, your application and any responses sent to you by the Employer (including offer letters) through the Site will be processed and analyzed by MetaJobs according to this Agreement and MetaJobs’ Privacy Policy.
You acknowledge and agree that Employers may request that MetaJobs assemble your application materials, resume, answers to screener questions, and other information you provide to MetaJobs into one document, and you agree that in doing so, MetaJobs assembles these application materials on your behalf. When you apply to a job using MetaJobs Apply, MetaJobs will attempt to send your application to the contact information provided to us by an Employer or their Agent, which may include sending your application to an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) or other service provider selected by the Employer. You agree that Employers can enable such service providers to access and manage their MetaJobs accounts, including by connecting to and integrating with APIs provided or used by MetaJobs. By applying for a job through the Site, you agree to the Employer’s use of such service providers and acknowledge that such use may involve an intermediary’s access to job applications sent to its Employer client. We cannot guarantee that such messages and applications will be delivered, received, accessed, read, or acted upon. MetaJobs 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. MetaJobs depends on the Employer or the Employer’s agent to provide MetaJobs with the correct destination for all applications, and we cannot vouch for the validity of the contact information provided to us by Employers. If the electronic destination provided to MetaJobs is incorrect, your application materials will not be sent to the intended recipient of the application. Further, MetaJobs does not guarantee that its integrations or the interface will be error-free. However, MetaJobs may alert you when any of the above events occur.
Job Ads may expire or otherwise be removed between the time you submit your application and the time it is received, in which case your application will be void. Employers and third-party sites (including but not limited to ATSs) may reject applications for other reasons, such as duplicate applications, in which case your application will be void. MetaJobs has no responsibility for expired or removed Job Ads, for delivering applications prior to a Job Ad’s expiration or removal, or for delivering applications that an Employer or third-party site, including but not limited to an ATS, has otherwise rejected. MetaJobs 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. We also cannot vouch for the technical capabilities of any third-party sites, including but not limited to ATSs. Third-party sites, including ATSs used by Employers, may disclaim liability for technical malfunctions, including the failure in the delivery of applications. We are not responsible if an ATS rejects or fails to deliver an application to an Employer for any reason. If you do not feel comfortable sending an application or messages in this manner, or having your application or messages stored by MetaJobs on MetaJobs’ or third-party providers’ servers, do not use the MetaJobs Apply or MetaJobs 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 the Site.
By using the Site, you agree that MetaJobs is not responsible for the content of the Employer’s job application, requirements, messages, screener questions, skills assessments, or their format or method of delivery, and that MetaJobs does not guarantee receipt of your application by the Employer, or your receipt of messages from the Employer. Please note that MetaJobs does not choose the questions asked by Employers or decide the job qualification criteria of Employers. Employers are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws. If you have questions or concerns about an Employer’s application materials, please contact the Employer directly or refer to their privacy policy. MetaJobs does not guarantee the identity of an Employer or any individuals working for any Employers and cautions Job Seekers when applying to jobs.
Applying to Jobs Through the Site
Any profile, resume, or application information submitted through the platform, including personal data in resumes, applications, or responses to questions, is subject to this agreement and MetaJobs' privacy policies. Terms such as “Apply Now,” “Easily Apply,” or similar references indicate applications processed through MetaJobs. To maintain service quality, MetaJobs may impose limits on job applications and restrict automated submissions outside of official integrations.
Before submitting an application, users should carefully review all information and attachments to ensure accuracy and completeness. Once submitted, MetaJobs does not control how employers use or disclose application details. Requests for modification or deletion of submitted data must be directed to the employer. Unsubscribing from employer communications does not affect previously scheduled interviews.
When requesting MetaJobs to submit an application, users authorize MetaJobs to share application details with the intended employer. Automated processing may be applied, and formatting adjustments may occur. MetaJobs does not guarantee the delivery, access, or response to applications sent through the platform. Employers may use third-party systems to manage applications, and MetaJobs is not responsible for issues related to those external platforms.
Job ads may expire or be removed after an application is submitted, rendering applications void. Employers and external applicant tracking systems may reject applications for various reasons, including duplication. MetaJobs is not responsible for expired listings, transmission failures, or employer-related rejections. Users should contact employers directly for alternative application methods if they prefer not to use MetaJobs.
MetaJobs does not control employer job descriptions, screening questions, skill assessments, or hiring criteria. Employers are responsible for compliance with applicable labor and anti-discrimination laws. If alternative screening methods are required, users must request them directly from the employer. MetaJobs does not verify the legitimacy of job offers, and applicants should confirm offers before making employment decisions.
By using MetaJobs, users acknowledge that employers may instruct the platform to send automated rejection notices based on screening criteria. MetaJobs has no discretion over these messages. Some employers may enable automatic interview scheduling based on job seeker qualifications. However, interview confirmation remains the responsibility of both the applicant and employer.
MetaJobs may offer employers features that categorize applicants based on resume details or screening question responses. However, employers retain full discretion over hiring decisions. MetaJobs does not substitute human evaluation in the hiring process.
When applying for jobs through the MetaJobs platform or external job sites, suggested profile details may be included in applications. Users must review and confirm these details before submission.
MetaJobs may require users to verify their email addresses to prevent spam and fraudulent activity. Failure to verify an email may result in application rejection.
Job Matching and Recommended Jobs
MetaJobs recommends job listings based on user profiles, resumes, applications, and search activity. Employers may also receive profile recommendations matching their job postings.
Job recommendations may be sent via email. Users can disable these alerts in their settings or set their profile to "Not Searchable" to avoid employer matches.
Communications and Actions on the Site
All communications and materials exchanged through MetaJobs—such as job applications, messages, and interviews—may be processed and stored for quality control, compliance, and service improvements using AI-driven analysis.
Employers’ actions on applications, such as viewing or responding, may trigger notifications. These are courtesy alerts, and users should confirm interview details independently.
MetaJobs offers messaging, email relay, and call relay services but does not guarantee message delivery or employer responses. Alias emails may be used to protect user privacy.
Text reminders for interviews are available, and users consent to automated messages when providing a phone number. Bulk messaging is restricted.
MetaJobs may integrate with email providers to track job applications. Chatbots assist with applications and scheduling but require user verification of accuracy.
Users can manage push notifications and SMS preferences in their settings. Phone-number-only accounts have limitations, including loss of access if the number changes.
Your Job Seeker Data
As a Job Seeker, you take a variety of actions on our platform and provide various information. For example, you search for jobs, and MetaJobs knows and stores the titles of jobs you search for and click on, where those jobs are located, the general salary range or experience level of the jobs you view (if indicated on the Job Listings), the Job Listings you apply to, your amount of activity or time of most recent activity on the platform, and any other information you provide directly to MetaJobs, including desired salary, past experience, any information in your MetaJobs Profile, and any of your other behavior on the platform. You know exactly what this data is because you are the person who provided the information or undertook the activity, and the data pertains only to your activity. By using the platform, you acknowledge and agree that MetaJobs collects, records, processes, analyzes, and stores any and all information you provide and activities you take on the platform, as well as any and all interactions and communications you have with, on, or through the platform. You further acknowledge and agree that MetaJobs may inform the Employer about activities you take on the platform or your use of the platform, for example, whether you are online, recently active, or responsive to Employer messages.
When you initiate a job application on a website operated by an Employer or its applicant tracking system, MetaJobs may collect certain information about you and any actions taken by you during your visit using automated means, such as via API, cookies, pixels, and web beacons. The information collected includes, for example, information about Job Listings you viewed and job applications you started and completed. An Employer who provides tracker functionality is required under this Agreement to provide any notice and obtain any prior consent that may be required by applicable law. However, you acknowledge and agree that MetaJobs has no control over such an Employer or its website. You agree to MetaJobs’ use of, and receipt of information from, any such tracker functionality.
You agree that any data contained in or associated with Your Profile may be used to suggest jobs to you and to suggest you or your Profile to Employers that might be interested in a person who matches your behavior on the platform. You also agree that MetaJobs may contact you based on this observed behavior or provided info on behalf of Employers or MetaJobs itself. Please note, the aforementioned actions do not include information sent to you by a third party; however, MetaJobs may publicly display the fact that you have recently used the platform to correspond with a third party. In addition, if Your Profile is set to Searchable, this means that MetaJobs may share all of the aforementioned information about yourself with third-party Employers. If you do not wish to share such information, you may set Your Profile to Not Searchable. When you make changes to your MetaJobs Profile, including but not limited to updating, deleting, or changing settings, it may take a few days for the changes to be reflected.
MetaJobs, in its sole discretion, may add labels or badges to Job Seeker profiles, such as “Responsive Candidate” or “New Applicant.” MetaJobs determines the method by which such labels or badges are added or which Job Seekers qualify based solely on Job Seeker activity. The lack of a label or badge may indicate that MetaJobs does not have sufficient data to determine if a Job Seeker qualifies. MetaJobs does not guarantee the accuracy of any label or badge and reserves the right to change or remove such label or badge features at any time.
You may have the opportunity to provide MetaJobs with certain demographic information about yourself, such as your race and ethnicity, gender, age, LGBTQ+ community membership, and disability status, as well as whether you have an arrest or conviction record (“demographic data”). By choosing to provide your demographic data, you agree that MetaJobs may use it to evaluate and improve our products and share aggregate summaries of job seeker information with Employers. If you do not want your demographic data to be used in this way, do not provide it to MetaJobs (or, if you have already provided your demographic data to MetaJobs, you can request it be removed). You further acknowledge and agree that another Job Seeker’s demographic data is personal information, and to the extent permitted by law, you waive any right to request or view demographic data pertaining to any other Job Seeker.
Please note that MetaJobs may be required to comply with legal obligations or governmental requests or to establish or exercise its legal rights or defend against legal claims. This means, for example, that MetaJobs may receive legal process from courts or law enforcement to reveal user data, including demographic data.
Please also note that some Employers may ask applicants to voluntarily self-identify certain demographic information such as race, ethnicity, sex, disability, and/or veteran status along with their job applications. Some Employers are required by law to ask these questions, and you may see these questions when applying to jobs on MetaJobs. That is a separate process from MetaJobs’ collection of demographic data, and MetaJobs is not responsible for these questions. If you have questions or concerns about an Employer’s application materials, please contact the Employer directly or refer to their privacy policy.
MetaJobs Hiring Platform
MetaJobs Hiring Platform is designed to streamline Employer hiring and employment decision-making processes by allowing users access to various products such as MetaJobs Interview and related services. Employers may offer you the opportunity to participate in hiring activities that might be supported by MetaJobs Hiring Platform. You acknowledge and understand that Employers select the method and manner in which the platform will be used for their job openings and that the Employer determines the job requirements and specific needs of its hiring efforts.
YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT EMPLOYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLYING WITH APPLICABLE LAW REGARDING ITS EMPLOYMENT AND HIRING PRACTICES, INCLUDING TITLE VII, AND THAT EMPLOYER INDEMNIFIES METAJOBS AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM EMPLOYER’S USE OF METAJOBS HIRING PLATFORM OR SIMILAR PRODUCTS. METAJOBS DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY AND MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT EMPLOYER’S USE OF THE SERVICES COMPLIES WITH TITLE VII OR ANY SIMILAR LAW. MetaJobs has no control nor participates in the hiring or decision-making process regarding Employer hiring efforts. Further, you understand that MetaJobs is not an employment agency by offering MetaJobs Hiring Platform and related tools. By using MetaJobs Hiring Platform, you understand that MetaJobs is not procuring employees for Employers or opportunities for Job Seekers. MetaJobs merely provides the platform as a tool that enables Employers and Job Seekers to exchange information as they determine.
MetaJobs Hire
MetaJobs Hire provides recruitment services to its clients. When you apply to a job supported by MetaJobs Hire, or otherwise engage with MetaJobs Hire as a Job Seeker, you acknowledge and agree that MetaJobs Hire may use the platform and its tools as an agent to Employers, such as MetaJobs Apply, Virtual Interviews, and other screening tools. You further agree that MetaJobs Hire may use information you provide and data collected through the platform to present potential job matches to you and potential Employers.
Employers retaining MetaJobs Hire are solely responsible for determining their job requirements, the specific needs of their hiring efforts, and their hiring decisions. By engaging with MetaJobs Hire, you understand that you are not guaranteed job interviews, job placement, suitability for a particular position, or assurance of being hired, and you take full responsibility for your own decisions and actions during the recruitment process, including the acceptance or rejection of job offers.
Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
This Agreement and any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or related in any way to the Site (“Dispute”) will be governed by and under the laws of the State of Texas, United States of America, if you are located in the United States, or the laws of the Republic of Ireland, if you are located elsewhere, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles. Any legal proceedings related to such Disputes shall be filed only in courts located in Travis County, Texas, U.S.A., if you are in the United States, or Dublin, Ireland, if you are elsewhere. Each party consents to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the federal or state courts in these locations.
Despite the application of Irish law, if you are a consumer residing in the EU, you also retain the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law in your country of habitual residence. The application of such mandatory laws, including consumer protection laws, remains unaffected.
If you are located in the United States, you also waive any right to a jury trial in connection with any action or litigation arising from your use of the Site or these terms of service.
Class Action Waiver
By using the Site or any related services, and in return for the services provided by MetaJobs, you acknowledge that these services are offered under the terms and conditions outlined herein. As part of this agreement, you agree not to file a class-action lawsuit, act as a class representative, or participate in a class action against MetaJobs related to your use of the Site.
Additionally, as a Job Seeker, you acknowledge that services such as job search and application submissions are provided to you at no cost. Your acceptance of this Agreement, including this Class Action Waiver, is a fundamental condition for using the Site. If you do not agree to these terms, you should discontinue your use of the Site.
B. Terms of Service for Employers
The following terms and conditions apply to all Employers and other users who access or use the Site as intended for individuals and/or organizations seeking to make available information regarding employment openings, on their behalf or other’s behalf, including but not limited to agencies purchasing for multiple parties, or otherwise indicate their acceptance to this Agreement. You further agree that the Terms of Service for All Users also apply. For the avoidance of doubt where the Terms of Service for All Users overlap or conflict with the Terms of Service for Employers, you agree that the Terms of Service for Employers will govern.
For purposes of this Section B of the MetaJobs General Terms of Service, all references to “you” or “your” shall mean you, the individual or organization accessing this Site in your capacity as an Employer or other user as described above.
When you create a MetaJobs account, a Company Page, or post job listings advertising employment opportunities and other job-related content, you agree that this Agreement, the terms associated with any MetaJobs service you are using, and all of MetaJobs’ policies, including the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, apply to you.
When you create a MetaJobs account, MetaJobs may require that you verify your identity. You may be presented with different options for verification, including verification via a third-party service. When using such services, you will be providing your information directly to them. MetaJobs does not collect or receive any biometric information or biometric identifiers from third-party verification services.
When you access or use the Site in your capacity as an employee or representative of an Employer, or if you create a MetaJobs account on behalf of an Employer, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind the Employer to this Agreement. When you create an account on behalf of an Employer, the account belongs to the Employer, and you acknowledge that any and all information you provide through the account, such as the actions you take and when you take them, will be visible to the Employer. As part of this account, you may have an individual profile (“Employer Profile”), which consists of information you provide in the “Account Settings” and “Employer Settings” sections of the account.
As an Employer, your account is for business use and not for personal use. MetaJobs is not responsible for any misuse of your email by a third party. By registering for a MetaJobs account, you agree to receive mandatory email updates regarding account activity. If you attempt to send an email from a name or email address that is not accurate, current, or complete, MetaJobs reserves the right to drop such email, and such an attempt is a violation of the terms. Employers may request that MetaJobs disable an account at any time. Please note that MetaJobs may be required to preserve business records pertaining to that account to comply with legal obligations.
In some instances, multiple users may be linked to the same account (“Linked Account”). A Linked Account is created when the primary account owner(s) (“Admins”) of an Employer account invites other users to the same account. Admin(s) and other designated users can provide these other users varying levels of access and functionality (“Roles”) within the account, such as accessing account data, including candidate Personal Data, or purchasing services from MetaJobs under such an account. When using a Linked Account, any users with access to certain Roles may have access to account information, including communications and actions of all other users and applicants within the Linked Account, resume contacts, and billing information.
If your MetaJobs employer account has a credit card or other payment method on file, MetaJobs may charge that payment method for any products or services you order and for any outstanding payments, including to correct billing errors.
MetaJobs may offer suggestions, recommendations, or information to users that may support or improve their experience on the platform. These offerings are provided as a courtesy and without warranty. Employers are responsible for their use of the Site, compliance with applicable laws, and decisions regarding hiring. MetaJobs assumes no responsibility and disclaims all liability for any actions taken based on provided information.
If you are a MetaJobs agency partner, you may be eligible to participate in a partnership program. Agency partners in this program may attain ranks based on their MetaJobs usage and engagement, measured by revenue. MetaJobs’ determination of an agency’s rank is at its sole discretion and may be revoked at any time.
MetaJobs may offer the ability to delete candidate and application information stored in your candidate dashboard. If you delete this information, you acknowledge that you will no longer be able to access it through MetaJobs, and the deletion cannot be undone.

Job matches are recommendations which may be presented to both you as an Employer and to Job Seekers in various formats on the Site. For example, MetaJobs may recommend Resumes that match Job Ads you have posted, or recommend Job Ads to Job Seekers similar to jobs to which they have recently applied. Job matching is provided to you on a beta basis.
To generate matches, MetaJobs uses data collected through the Site from both Employers and Job Seekers. This includes Job Ads, Resume, application materials (including responses to screener questions), and user activity on the Site (such as searches run and Job Ads clicked on and applied to). MetaJobs may use this information to present potential matches to you and to potential Job Seekers. MetaJobs' matching system uses classification methodologies to improve relevance.
MetaJobs may provide some information and content to users for informational purposes only. For example, MetaJobs may provide Job Seekers with data regarding estimated salaries for a given Job Listing, the number of applies to a Job Listing, responses to certain screener questions, or provide Employers with estimated applies to their Job Listing. All such figures provided by MetaJobs are estimates given for informational purposes only and may come from AI-Generated Content or third-party sources. They are subject to change and varying levels of accuracy.
MetaJobs may add labels or badges to Job Ads – such as pay types, specialties, benefits, or union associations – based on data contained within the job description.

MetaJobs licenses these tools for Employer use as determined by the Employer.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
This Agreement is governed by the laws of United Kingdom and Wales , with exclusive jurisdiction in Northampton, However, if you reside in the EU, you retain protections under mandatory provisions of your country’s laws, including consumer protection laws, which remain applicable.
E. MetaJobs Digital Services ("DS")
This Section E pertains to MetaJobs’ operations in the EU only, applies to users located in the EU only, and does not apply to users located elsewhere. In the event of any conflict with any other part of this Agreement, this Section E will control.
The Main Parameters are used by MetaJobs to target Job Seekers with Job Ads that are most suitable for them, based on information available to MetaJobs. The appearance of a Job Ad on your job search results page is not a guarantee that the Job Ad is suitable for you. MetaJobs ranks and orders Job Ads within search results based on a combination of remuneration paid to MetaJobs by Employers and the Main Parameters.
In the job search results page, the most significant criteria in determining the Job Ads suggested to the Job Seeker is the search terms. We place the greatest significance on this parameter in order to surface the Job Ads that are most relevant for the Job Seeker (i.e., those that a Job Seeker is most likely to click on or apply to). For all other Job Ad recommendations on the Site, the criteria determining the Job Ads suggested to Job Seekers are equally significant.
In the EU, we return search results in Resume Search/Smart Sourcing based on search terms, Job Ad data, prior activity of Resume Owners on the Site, and/or Resume Owner data. Resume Owner data refers to data provided by Resume Owners to MetaJobs, for example, their current job title and location. Prior activity of Resume Owners means actions that Resume Owners have taken on the Site, for example, jobs that Resume Owners have previously applied to or clicked on. The most significant criteria in determining the information suggested to users is search terms. These parameters are used to try to predict the probability that a Resume Owner will apply to a Job Ad and positively respond to an Employer.
Employers cannot choose the main parameters MetaJobs uses to determine the recipient to whom a Sponsored Job is presented. Sponsored Jobs are presented to Job Seekers based on the Main Parameters set out above, and the Ad Transparency Information in each Sponsored Job reflects this.
Sponsored Jobs and Employer Branding Ads include “Ad Transparency Information.” Ad Transparency Information is generated and accurate as of the time that a user clicks on a Job Ad. The “Beneficiary” represents the natural or legal person on whose behalf the advertisement is presented. The “Sponsor” denotes the natural or legal person who paid for the advertisement, if that person is different from the Beneficiary. The Beneficiary and Sponsor are based on information available to MetaJobs and provided by Employers to MetaJobs. If you are an Employer, you confirm that all information you have provided to MetaJobs is accurate and complete and you agree to the publication of the employer and company name on the Site, as required by law. Within the EU, Employers shall not post a job with a confidential or generic company name.
Users can also proactively identify and report potentially fraudulent accounts and all other user-generated content on the platform, including job posts, company page content, and messages. These reports are reviewed by trained moderators.
Further terms and conditions regarding moderation of User Content are set out in Section 2 of Terms of Service for All Users above.
