Employment Agencies and the Employment Regulations 2003

The job seeker and employer must be aware that this job board acts only as a meeting place and does not introduce or offer job seekers or employers (or vice versa).

This means that we do not:

• Obtain sufficient information for potential employers to select a suitable employee for the job they wish to fill.
• Confirm the identity of the job seeker or their experience, training, qualifications, or authorization to work in the position being filled nor whether they wish to assume the responsibility of the position.
• Take steps to ensure that the job seeker and employer are aware of legal or other requirements that must be met by either party to enable the job seeker to fulfill the position.
• Guarantee the registration of candidates for employer advertisements.
• Take any steps to ensure that it would not be detrimental to the interests of the job seeker and employer in fulfilling the duties of the position.
• Provide any indication to employers whether job seekers are unsuitable (or suitable) for any position to be filled in any circumstances.
• Suggest job seekers to employers or provide any information about them.
• Take references concerning job seekers.
• Arrange accommodation for employees.

The Employment Agencies and Employment Business Regulations 2003 (hereinafter referred to as "Regulations") aim to ensure that job seekers are proposed only by employment agencies for roles for which they are qualified and that employers are offered only job seekers who have the appropriate level of experience, training, qualifications, and authorization for the position being filled. Since we are only a meeting place and do not propose or introduce job seekers to employers or vice versa, it is recommended that if you are a job seeker, you take the steps outlined in the Regulations to ensure your suitability for the advertised role or if you are an employer, to ensure the suitability of the job seeker for that role.

Recommendations:

1. If you are a job seeker; check the employer's identity and the nature of their business, the start date and duration of the job, the position to be filled including the type of work, location, working hours, and health and safety risks, experience, training, qualifications, and authorizations that the employer considers necessary or are legally or otherwise required for the requested position, whether you pay any costs as a job seeker, or if there are any statutory requirements or requirements you must meet before taking up the position.
2. If you are an employer; check the identity of the job seeker and whether the job seeker has the experience, training, qualifications, and authorizations required by law or otherwise for the job position and whether there are any statutory requirements or other requirements that you as an employer need to fulfill to enable the job seeker to take up the position.

Additionally, if professional qualifications are required or when job seekers need to work with vulnerable persons or children, you should obtain copies of the appropriate qualifications or authorizations, obtain at least two references from non-relatives of the job seekers, and initiate a criminal record check for the job seeker.

All search or review tools provided to us for your use concerning your assessment of the suitability or any other specific candidate or advertised vacancy will assist you in taking these steps but are not a substitute. All search or review tools provided by us for you will assist you in assessing the suitability of candidates or vacancies, but their purpose is not to substitute.

Using the candidate base

You may only communicate with candidates for the purpose of filling a specific job vacancy and may not use the data for other activities. Data must not be copied and processed outside the purpose of employment. All copies of personal data must be destroyed in accordance with EU Regulation 2016/679 after completion of the hiring process.

8.3 As a data controller of the application data, we will comply with our responsibilities under the General Data Protection Regulation regarding such notes, which may include disclosure of application data to the job seeker if the job seeker requests access to their data or other rights set out in EU Regulation 2016/679.

Deletion of Job Seeker Data

On average, the search for a suitable worker is completed within three months. For this reason, you agree to collect consent to store job seeker data directly from job seekers or delete this data after a period of three months. This does not apply if you have other legal grounds for retaining job seeker data.

Dealing with Job Seekers

You agree to deal fairly and professionally with individuals seeking employment and may contact them using data from the candidate database and will not do anything that could bring us or the website into disrepute.
