Terms of service

1. What TalentShelf is

TalentShelf is a reverse hiring marketplace. Job seekers publish a profile describing their experience, skills, work ethic and expectations. Employers and recruiters subscribe to search those profiles, request introductions, arrange interviews and hire directly.

Listing yourself as a job seeker is free. TalentShelf does not charge candidates and does not take a share of anyone's pay.

2. Your account

You must give accurate details when you create an account and keep them up to date. You are responsible for what happens under your login, so keep your password private.

Candidate profiles are reviewed before they appear in employer search. We may decline or remove a profile that is misleading, incomplete, impersonates someone else or breaks these terms.

3. Employer subscriptions and billing

Employer plans are billed monthly or annually in advance through our payment provider. Each plan includes a set number of introductions per billing period, and extra introduction packs can be bought at any time.

Switching plans takes effect immediately and the difference is prorated. If you cancel, paid access continues until the end of the period you have already paid for and then drops back to the free tier.

If a payment fails we will let you know in the app so you can update your card. Access may be limited until payment succeeds.

4. Fair use

Candidate information is shared with you so you can consider someone for a role. Do not resell it, add people to unrelated marketing lists, scrape the platform or contact candidates about anything other than genuine work.

Discrimination, harassment, fake roles and requests for payment from candidates are not allowed and will end your access.

5. What we do not promise

We do not guarantee that a candidate will be hired or that an employer will find a suitable candidate. We are not the employer and we are not a party to any offer, contract or working relationship you agree between yourselves.

The service is provided as-is. We work to keep it available and accurate, but we cannot promise it will always be uninterrupted or error free.

6. Ending your account

You can close your account at any time from Settings. Closing an account permanently removes your profile, messages, requests and interview records.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, misuses candidate information or puts other people at risk.

7. Changes and contact

If we change these terms in a meaningful way we will tell account holders before the change takes effect. Questions can go to hello@talentshelf.app.
