These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the TalentChoice website and platform ("the Platform") operated by TalentChoice (“we”, “us”, or “our”). By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to comply with and be legally bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Platform.

1. Eligibility and User Types

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into binding agreements to use the Platform. The Platform is designed for two primary user types:

Recruiters: Professionals who offer recruitment or talent placement services.
Employers: Individuals or businesses submitting job briefs or exploring recruiter options.

By using the Platform, you represent and warrant that all registration information is true and accurate, and you agree to maintain its accuracy.

TalentChoice is a digital comparison and lead facilitation tool, not a recruitment agency, staffing firm, or employment intermediary. We do not:

Vet, endorse, or guarantee any recruiter or employer
Provide legal advice or verify employment contracts
Participate in any final hiring or placement negotiations

All business conducted between recruiters and employers is solely between those parties. We are not responsible for contract terms, outcomes, or performance.

3. Account Responsibilities

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and restricting access to your account. You accept full responsibility for all activities that occur under your account.

You agree not to:

Misrepresent your identity or qualifications
Upload misleading or false information

Allow others to access your account without permission

We may, at our discretion, disable or terminate any account that violates these Terms.

4. Recruiter Use and Obligations

Recruiters agree to:

Maintain accurate and up-to-date profiles
Represent their services, pricing, and experience truthfully
Respond to leads professionally and in a timely manner
Comply with applicable employment laws, licensing, and data protection requirements

TalentChoice reserves the right to limit visibility, deactivate profiles, or remove content deemed misleading, noncompliant, or abusive.

5. Employer Use and Obligations

All job briefs are submitted in good faith and represent real hiring needs

They will not harvest recruiter contact details for unsolicited outreach or third-party use

Employers are solely responsible for screening, selecting, and engaging with recruiters. TalentChoice does not participate in any hiring, selection, or fee negotiation process.

6. Payments, Subscriptions, and Billing

Recruiter subscriptions are processed through secure third-party payment providers. By subscribing, recruiters agree to:

Recurring charges based on selected plans
Payment failures resulting in access restrictions
No refund obligations unless required by law

We reserve the right to modify pricing or plan features at any time with notice.

7. Content Ownership and Use

All recruiter-generated content (text, images, rates, testimonials, etc.) remains the property of the original contributor. However, by submitting content to the Platform, you grant TalentChoice a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual license to use, display, modify, and publish such content for the purpose of providing and marketing our services.

All other site content — layout, branding, code, icons, and copy — remains the exclusive intellectual property of TalentChoice.

Any breach of these Terms
Any violation of laws or third-party rights in your use of the Platform
Any dispute or contract entered into with another user

This indemnity obligation survives termination of your account or use of the Platform.

We may suspend access temporarily or permanently for system upgrades or emergencies.

11. Legal Jurisdiction and Dispute Resolution

12. Modifications to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. All changes will be posted on this page with the updated effective date. Continued use of the Platform signifies acceptance of the revised Terms.
