Employment Agencies and Employment Business Regulations 2003

For the purpose of the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Business Regulations 2003 (the “Regulations”), we operate as a venue only and are not an employment business and do not introduce or supply work-seekers to hirers (or vice versa). This means that we do not:

  • obtain sufficient information for potential recruiters to select a suitable jobseeker for the position which the recruiter seeks to fill;
  • obtain confirmation of the identity of a jobseeker or that they have the experience, training, qualifications or authorisation to work in the position to be filled or that they wish to undertake the role to be filled;
  • take any steps to ensure the jobseeker and recruiter are each aware of any requirement imposed by law or otherwise which must be satisfied by either of them to permit the jobseeker to fulfil the position to be filled;
  • take any steps to ensure that it would not be detrimental to the interests of the jobseeker or the recruiter for the jobseeker to fulfil the position to be fulfilled;
  • give any indication to recruiters whether jobseekers are unsuitable (or suitable) for any position to be filled in any circumstances;
  • propose jobseekers to recruiters or provide any information about them.
  • take up any references in relation to a jobseeker; or,
  • make any arrangements for accommodation of jobseekers.

The Regulations seek to ensure that jobseekers are only proposed by employment agencies for roles for which they are properly qualified and that recruiters are only offered jobseekers who have the appropriate levels of experience, training, qualifications and authorisation for the position to be filled. Since we are only a venue and do not propose or introduce jobseekers to recruiters or vice versa, it is recommended that, if you are a jobseeker you undertake the steps set out in the Regulations to ensure your suitability for the role advertised or, if you are a recruiter, to ensure a jobseeker’s suitability for the role.

These could include:

  • If you are a jobseeker; checking the identity of the recruiter and the nature of its business, the commencement date and duration of the position, the position to be filled including type of work, location, hours and risks to health and safety, experience, training, qualifications and authorisation which the recruiter considers necessary or are required by law or otherwise to undertake the position, whether any expenses are payable by you as a jobseeker or whether there are any requirements imposed by law or otherwise for you to satisfy before taking up a position.
  • If you are a recruiter; checking the identity of the jobseeker and that the jobseeker has the experience, training, qualifications and authorisation required by law or otherwise for the position and whether there are any requirements imposed by law or otherwise for you, as the recruiter, to meet to enable a jobseeker to take up a position.

In addition, where professional qualifications are required or where jobseekers are to work with vulnerable persons or children, you should obtain copies of the relevant qualifications or authorisation, obtain at least two references from people who are not relatives of the jobseeker and undertake a criminal records bureau check of the jobseeker. For more details of how to undertake a criminal records bureau check, please click here.

Any searching or screening tools provided by us for use in your assessment of the suitability or otherwise of any particular candidate or advertised vacancy are to assist you in taking these steps, but are not intended as a substitute.

IR35 Tax Legislation

Recruiters will need to be aware of the IR35 legislation when posting job adverts, namely that targets candidates including but not limited to independent contractors, freelancers, interim and/or consultant. The recruiter must comply to the rules derived from the IR35 legislation and apply where necessary.

The application of the legislation in question must be done with reasonable care when defining the IR35 of the Jobseeker’s status and in the absence of reasonable care the recruiter will automatically become liable for any omission. The discretion lies with You to be updated with your obligations under the IR35 legislation.

Equality Act 2010

Subject to the clauses above, you must comply and adhere to all applicable laws when using Our Services, including but shall not be limited to the Equality Act 2010 and the Code of Practice on Employment provided by the Equality and Human Rights Commission. You must not use Our Services with the intention to discriminate or place the Jobseekers at a disadvantage when deciding or approaching them to fulfil a job vacancy. You hereby confirm that the content of the job advert and when using the CV database as per clause 15, you will comply with all your obligations hereunder and within the aforementioned Legislation and Code of Practice on Employment.

16 APPLICATION DATA

16.1 When a Jobseeker submits a response to an advertisement, details of their application will be loaded to your account. Your account allows you to record notes against the application and track its progress (together with the details of their application, “Application Data”).

16.2 You acknowledge that We may delete such Application Data without notice to you in line with our general policies on retention and deletion of data relating to Jobseekers, including where the Jobseeker to whom the Application Data relates decides to delete his profile.

16.3 As a controller of Application Data, We will comply with Our responsibilities under the General Data Protection Regulation in respect of such notes, which may include disclosure of Application Data to the Jobseeker if the Jobseeker submits a request to access his data;

16.4 For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation you are a joint controller of Application Data held on your account. You agree you will be responsible for ensuring that any Application Data which you enter is accurate, deleting Application Data when you no longer require it, and responding in a timely fashion to any request from a Jobseeker seeking to exercise his rights under the General Data Protection Regulation, including requests which we receive and pass to you because we are not able to assess them, for example where a Jobseeker asks for inaccurate data to be corrected.

16.5 If you use an Applicant Tracking System (“ATS”) which is integrated with the TotalJobs website, jobseekers will be able to submit applications directly to your ATS. When you receive a jobseeker’s application into your ATS (the “Jobseeker ATS Data”), you will be the data controller of the Jobseeker ATS Data. You agree that you will be responsible for deleting the Jobseeker ATS Data when you no longer require it, and responding in a timely fashion to any request from a Jobseeker seeking to exercise his rights under the General Data Protection Regulation, including requests which we receive and pass to you. You also agree that you will use the Jobseeker ATS Data (i) consistently with the General Data Protection Regulation and your privacy notice if your ATS provider has provided us with your privacy notice or (ii) only to process their application for the specific job which they have applied for, if your ATS provider has not provided us with your privacy notice.

16.6 If you do not use an ATS, you will be able to manage the applications made by candidates using our internal system, Application Manager. This will provide you the opportunity to organise and centralise application(s) and other material(s) (“Candidate Materials”) provided for the purpose of the said job advert. Should you wish to store and/or save any of the Candidate Materials, you will need to save and download these onto your own databases in accordance with these Recruiter Terms and applicable Data Protection Laws.

16.7 Subject to clause 16.6, in the event a Candidate exercises their right to erasure under Article 17 of the General Data Protection Regulation, we as a data controller will need to comply with the Candidate’s request which would mean if the Candidate had completed an application or provided further supporting material(s) for any of your job advert(s) it will be removed from Application Manager. For the avoidance of doubt, you will no longer be permitted to download or transfer any Candidate Materials from Application Manager to your own databases even if the job advert is still live once we have actioned the Candidate’s right to erasure.

17 DELETION OF JOBSEEKER DATA

17.1 In average the search for a suitable Jobseeker is concluded within three months.

17.2 Therefore you agree to collect consent for keeping the Jobseeker Data directly from the Jobseeker or otherwise delete this Data after a period of three months. This does not apply in case you have other legal ground to keep the Jobseeker Data.

18 VIDEO INTERVIEW SERVICE

18.1 The video job interview service (“Video Interview Service”) allows customers to a) create customized automated job interviews and/or b) conduct live job interviews (the “Video Interview“). An automated job interview is a structured way of interviewing where the customers’ candidate (“Candidate”) answers a pre-recorded set of questions with a video recording at their convenience. The live job interview is a real-time interactive online conversation between a Candidate and one, or multiple, interviewer(s).

18.2 The web-based software system on which the Video Interviews are generated (the “System”), stored in a database specific to the customer and are made available to the customer. This System can be accessed by the customer through an internet connection, using a username and password.

18.3 The System may also be used for live video interviews using a webcam (see clause 19.1. of the terms and conditions).

18.4 The customer is not permitted to give third parties access to the System e.g. by letting them perform Video Interviews with its Candidates, unless expressly agreed otherwise in the agreement.

18.5 To make use of the Video Interview Service, the purchase of credits is necessary. One credit represents one Video Interview. Every time a Video Interview has been conducted, the relevant amount of credits are depleted from customers’ account within the System. A Video Interview has been conducted if a) the Candidate provided its recorded video or b) the customer has carried out the live job interview with the Candidate. All credits which have been purchased are valid for twelve (12) months from date of purchase. The payment is made in advance after the issue of the invoice.

18.6 Totaljobs has the right to delete the recorded Interview Services from the System after one-hundred-and-eighty (180) days, unless agreed otherwise with the customer.

19 EQUALITY BOOST BADGE

The Customer is responsible to disclose their updated materials.

19.2 We shall apply the Equality Boost Badge to each Customer’s job advert that qualifies.

19.3 Equality Boost Badge shall be made available for the duration as specified in the Order Form and shall be valid until the end date specified.

19.6 We reserve all intellectual property rights in the Equality Boost Badge.

19.7 The Customer shall not publish, display or in any manner distribute any advertising or promotional materials of any kind relating to and/or including the Equality Boost Badge (i.e. the Equality Boost Badge is to be applied by Us only).

19.8 We reserve the right to immediately terminate the Customer’s right to use the Equality Boost Badge if, in Our opinion, the Customer’s continued use could be prejudicial to the reputation of Totaljobs, the Equality Boost Badge and/or other recruiters who have been granted the right to display the Equality Boost Badge (including where, in Our opinion, it is determined that the recruiter does not meet the Equality Criteria at any stage).

19.9 The Customer shall indemnify and hold harmless Totaljobs from any third-party claims arising out of the Customer’s failure to meet the Equality Criteria at any stage and from any claims under the Equality legislation.
