Their purpose is to ensure that Job-Hunters who search the website or our databases get results which are presented with accuracy as clearly and informatively as possible. You agree and accept that we may, at our discretion and without liability to you, remove from BEST SEARCH LIST any advert which is posted in breach of these rules. The rules may change and amend at any time and you are advised to refer to them regularly when you use this website.
XVIII.1. The job posted must exist in the city or town advertised unless it is a franchise opportunity (which must be clearly stated in the description).
XVIII.2. The job title should be specific and be the best description for the advertised role. It MUST NOT include locations, salaries or company brand names, and should not be a slogan (for example Great Opportunity to Make Money).
XVIII.3. Company/Brand Emails and website URLs within job descriptions are NOT ALLOWED. We will remove any ads that contain this information and restrict account access.
XVIII.4. Premium rate or Extra charged phone numbers MUST NOT be used on job adverts.
XVIII.5. The description of the role must contain the required skills as well as details describing the role and responsibilities of the Job-Hunter. Contact names must not be mentioned in the job description. Recruitment agencies / Sole Traders are only permitted to include the Client Name / Brand Name that they are recruiting on behalf of once within the description unless client-branded adverts have been purchased.
XVIII.6. If the job role offers training (or skills development) and there is a CHARGE for this then the vacancy must state this in the description and this vacancy will then be branded with our ‘more skills, more money’ banner. All training and development courses MUST be advertised separately within our training widget sections on the website.
XVIII.7. Adverts which discriminate against any person (or appear to discriminate) on grounds of sex, race, age or disability are illegal and may result in proceedings being taken against both the advertiser and the publisher. Adverts are accepted by BEST SEARCH LIST on the basis that the advertiser/publisher confirms that any requirement or qualification which may appear to discriminate illegally complies with any exemption available under the relevant legislation. If we nonetheless believe that adverts may be discriminatory we may at our sole discretion either amend the ad or remove it from our database without liability to you to make any refund of amounts paid or due to be paid (for our charged services only) in respect of the posting or otherwise and will inform you accordingly.
XVIII.8. The vacancy/role description should accurately describe the role and not mislead the Job-Hunter; sufficient detail should be included for the Job-Hunter to understand the nature of the role and the basic requirements and responsibilities of the role. If a role requires a Job-Hunter to work in multiple locations then the vacancy must state this; if the role is selling a product/service ‘door-to-door’ then the vacancy must state this clearly; similarly, if the role is a commission based only then this must be stated on the vacancy description clearly.
XIX. To protect our Job-Hunters from job scams and fraud, recruiters MUST NOT request payments during the recruitment process. Any reports made to BEST SEARCH LIST will be investigated and may lead to the termination and removal of your account without a refund (for our charged services only).
XX. All admin or other specific information requested from and provided to you is confidential. You MUST not disclose your password to any person(s). If disclosure occurs we reserve the right to terminate this agreement, remove your account immediately and seek compensation. Your selected password is for the sole use of our system. Passwords MUST be kept confidential and secure at all times. We may deny access to your account (username and password) if we reasonably believe that it is being used by an unauthorised person or that the user/member is breaching these Terms of use. You agree to notify us as soon as reasonably possible if your password is, or maybe, known to any person(s). You MUST change (update) your password periodically to ensure better security on your account. Other than through our negligence or wilful default, we shall not be liable for any losses, damages or claims which result directly or indirectly from any person obtaining any passwords.
XXI. We are NOT a Recruitment Agency, and we are not responsible for the content of job adverts from different employers/agencies. If you have an issue with a job advert that is not your own, you should deal with this directly with Advertiser or Publisher and not through us.
XXII. Payment Terms for our charged services only
XXII.1. Job posting credits MUST be used within the Fixed Term – one month; time will not be extended for job credits that have not been posted or posted part of the way through the Fixed Term (for example, if you sign up for an account and purchase job credit over a one month fixed term and this is started on the 18th day on the month, the job will expire on the last day of the one month fixed term or 17th the next month).
