Job Alerts

Advertisers and users on this Web Site are responsible for ensuring that material submitted for inclusion to this Web Site complies with all relevant laws and regulations.

This Web Site acts as a venue for employers to post job opportunities for candidates but does not screen or censor the listings offered. We are not responsible for any error, omission or inaccuracy in any material posted on this Web Site and do not get involved in the actual transaction between employers and candidates. As a result, we have no control over the quality or legality of the jobs posted, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of employers to offer job opportunities to candidates or the ability of candidates to fill job openings. You acknowledge therefore that any reliance on material posted by other users on this Web Site will be at your own risk and you assume all risks associated in dealing with other such users.

Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult, we cannot and do not confirm that each user is who they claim to be. Because we do not and cannot be involved in user-to-user dealings or control the behaviour of participants on this Web Site, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more users, you agree to release us (and our agents and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential, direct and indirect) of every kind and nature, known and unknown arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.

Posting or transmittal of any unlawful, threatening, libellous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic or profane material or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offence or violation of any law is strictly prohibited.

We reserve the right to monitor your communications with us whether by mail, voice, fax, e-mail or any other form of transmission for the purposes of quality control, security and other business needs.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all personal data provided to us as a result of this Web Site will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Your CV can only be viewed by our customers if you have consented to this within the profile section.

If you choose to create a profile and upload a CV to our database, we rely on you to ensure that your details are kept up to date. You should update your CV at least every six months, particularly if your contact details have changed

Please note that we reserve the right to remove from our database CVs which include any content that we consider to be illegal or offensive. We will also remove a CV if a complaint is upheld, which has been made against it.
