Premium Job Postings: A subscription service whereby the Client's job postings will be given greater prominence in job listings.

Guaranteed Response: The Client will receive a minimum of 10 applications or CVs to each job posting for which this Service is ordered. In order to achieve this, Haljobs will do one or more of the following: give relevant job postings greater prominence in job search results, job alert emails and job listings; feature relevant job postings in Featured Jobs pages/spaces; email details of relevant vacancies to the 20 candidates who best match the criteria set by the Client. In the event that the Client does not receive 10 applications within one week of the Commencement Date, access to CV Search will be given to the Client in order to make up any shortfall.

CV Search: The Client will be given access to a search engine to search for candidate CVs which match the criteria and filtering set by the Client. Various bundles of CV downloads may be purchased, subject to a fair usage cap.

Branding Opportunities: various opportunities to promote Client brands are available, including Recruiter Profile, where Haljobs will post a profile of the Client's company or organisation on the Website for an agreed time.

Email Services: various email services are available, including targeted emails, where Haljobs will send a one off email with details of the Client's job(s) to an agreed number of the most recently registered candidates who match the criteria set by the Client.

Haljobs shall provide the Services in accordance with these Terms. Clients must set up an account with Haljobs in order to gain access to the Services. The Services do not constitute an offer by Haljobs, and Haljobs reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to refuse to offer the Services to any person or organisation.

A legally binding contract between Haljobs and the Client comprising these Terms and the Order Confirmation will come into effect when Haljobs has received the Client's completed Order Confirmation. Haljobs will acknowledge receipt by sending a confirmatory email or fax to the Client.

Haljobs shall perform the Services using information and criteria supplied by the Client. It is the Client's responsibility to provide accurate and up to date information.

The Client undertakes not to submit for inclusion in any job posting, its Recruiter Profile, or anything to appear on the Website, any material which is illegal, defamatory, offensive, fraudulent, violent, discriminatory, obscene or sexually explicit or which may adversely affect Haljobs or Haljobs's reputation.

Other than Freecruitment and Services paid for online, Haljobs shall issue an invoice to the Client on completion of the Services.

For the avoidance of doubt, Freecruitment, Premium and Featured Job Posting credits and CV search credits do not roll over beyond the end of the contract. For Services purchased online, refunds may occasionally be given at Haljobs’s sole and absolute discretion.

Haljobs may, in its sole and absolute discretion, add to, modify or discontinue any of the Services from time to time. However, this will not affect any Order Confirmation agreed prior to any change or withdrawal of the relevant Service.

Haljobs reserves the right to change the fees and/or these Terms from time to time, provided that no change shall be retrospective.

Without prejudice to any other remedy, Haljobs may terminate the Client's account and any or all contracts and Services with immediate effect in the event of material or persistent breach of these Terms by the Client or if Haljobs has reasonable grounds to believe that the Client cannot or will not pay its debts.

These Terms and, where appropriate, the Order Confirmation contain the entire agreement and understanding between Haljobs and the Client. The Client acknowledges that it has not relied on any representation made by Haljobs in entering this contract, however, nothing in this clause shall exclude any liability for fraudulent misrepresentation. To the fullest extent permitted by law, all terms implied by law or statute are excluded.

In the event that the Client makes a claim against Haljobs for whatever reason, Haljobs's liability (if any) shall not exceed the price paid or to be paid by the Client for the Services. Under no circumstances shall Haljobs be liable for any consequential, indirect or special losses, including without limitation, loss of profits, revenue, interest, goodwill, business and/or savings. Nothing in these Terms shall be construed to exclude Haljobs's liability for death or personal injury by negligence or any other liability which cannot by law be excluded.

If any clause or part of a clause is held to be invalid or unenforceable, this will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining clauses or parts.

Notices to Haljobs shall be sent by email to recruiter.support@haljobs.co.uk and notices to the Client shall be sent by email to the address supplied on set up of the Client's account.

From time to time Haljobs will contact Clients in order to evaluate the service they receive and also to promote Haljobs's services and products. Haljobs monitors the quality of vacancies from time to time in order to provide a better service to candidates.

The Client undertakes not to solicit, or endeavour to solicit, for employment or engagement with itself or any associated company or organisation, any employee of Haljobs or of any member of the Haljobs Corporate Family.
