Terms of Service for Job Seekers

VT Job Connect may make available Job Ads advertising employment opportunities and other job-related content, including links to third-party websites (“Job Listings” or “Job Ads”), through VT Job Connect’s search results or otherwise through the Site. Searching for Job Ads on VT Job Connect is free for Job Seekers. VT Job Connect displays Job Ads based on a combination of compensation paid by employers to VT Job Connect and relevance, such as search terms, and other information provided and activities conducted on VT Job Connect. While VT Job Connect may in some circumstances be compensated by employers who post Job Ads, helping keep VT Job Connect job search free for Job Seekers, all Job Ads are considered advertising.

Job Ads are created and provided by third parties over whom VT Job Connect exercises no control; you acknowledge and understand that VT Job Connect has no control over the content of Job Ads, links to or from Job Ads, or any conditions third parties might impose once a Job Seeker has submitted an application or left the Site. For example, some of these third parties may attempt to charge Job Seekers a fee to apply to a particular job, although VT Job Connect endeavors not to make such Job Ads available on the Site. If you leave VT Job Connect Site and choose to enter a third-party website, you accept any terms and conditions imposed by that third-party. Except for sponsored, featured or paid placements, the Job Ads contained on, or linked from, the Site are indexed or posted in an automated manner. VT Job Connect has no obligation to screen any Job Ads, or to include any Job Ads, in its search results or other listings, and may exclude or remove any Job Ads from the Site or your search result without any obligation to provide reasoning for removal or exclusion. You understand and agree that VT Job Connect has no obligation to present you with any or all Job Ads. We cannot confirm the accuracy or completeness of any Job Ad or other information submitted by any Employer or other user, including the identity of such Employer or other user. VT Job Connect assumes no responsibility, and disclaims all liability for the content, accuracy, completeness, legality, reliability, or availability of any Job Ads, or other information submitted by any Employer or other user.

When you initiate a job application on a website operated by an Employer or its applicant tracking system, VT Job Connect may collect certain information about you and any actions taken by you during your visit using automated means, such as via Application Programming Interfaces (API), cookies and web beacons. The information collected includes, for example, information about job listings you viewed and job applications you started and completed. An Employer who uses tracker functionality is required under this Agreement to provide any notice, and obtain any prior consent, that may be required by applicable law. However, you acknowledge and agree that VT Job Connect has no control over such an Employer or its website. You agree to VT Job Connect’s use of, and receipt of information from, any such tracker functionality.

If you subscribe to job alerts by entering and submitting your email, you understand that we will store your email information and that you are agreeing to receive marketing and/or job alert emails from us at any time. You may unsubscribe at any time via email or by contacting support, whose information is at the bottom of this page.

VT Job Connect may provide independent functionality to assist you. For example, VT Job Connect may provide search options to help you narrow down Job Ads search results by job type categories (i.e. full-time, part-time, etc.), and such categories are created independently and entirely by VT Job Connect, and may not directly or accurately reflect the content of the Job Ads. VT Job Connect may reformat Job Listings so that you may read them more clearly on a mobile phone. VT Job Connect may also promote Job Ads by select Employers on certain pages or websites dedicated to a specific topic, such as inclusive hiring, military-friendly job posts, or the gig economy (such as VT Job Connect Gigs). The placement of a Job Ad on a dedicated page or website is not a representation regarding the nature of the role for legal purposes (for example gig economy postings are not necessarily limited to contractor status jobs and may also include engagements for employment relationships) or a representation regarding the attributes of an Employer. VT Job Connect does not guarantee that applying to jobs through a dedicated page or website will lead to a better job application experience, a job interview, or a job offer. The dedicated pages or website do not contain an exhaustive list of Job Ads, and no inferences can be drawn with respect to Job Ads or Employers that are not displayed on dedicated pages. VT Job Connect may also provide functionality to call a telephone number contained in a Job Ad using the phone app on a mobile device. VT Job Connect cannot guarantee that the extracted phone number is the correct phone number for the Employer or for the Job Ad you are viewing.

Any resume or application information that you submit through the Site, including Personal Data included in a resume, application or responses to screener questions and assessments (“VT Job Connect Apply”), is subject to this Agreement (including Section D.3.) and to VT Job Connect’s Privacy Policy (all references on the Site to “Apply Now”, “Easily Apply”, “Simple Apply”, “Apply from your phone”, “Apply with VT Job Connect”, “RSVP to hiring event” or any similar references mean “VT Job Connect.”). To maintain the quality of the Site and Services, VT Job Connect in its sole discretion may impose limits on your ability to apply to Job Listings or to other VT Job Connect services.

You acknowledge that prior to submitting an application through VT Job Connect, you are responsible for reviewing and confirming that you are applying to your desired Employer. Once you provide information to an Employer (whether in the form of a job application, resume, email, interview material or otherwise), VT Job Connect does not have control over the Employer’s use or disclosure of that information. If you want to request the Employer delete, modify, or maintain confidence over any such information, you must make such a request directly to the Employer. Unsubscribing from calls from Employers through VT Job Connect does not apply to interviews you have already scheduled. If you require alternative methods for applying, you must approach the Employer directly to request such alternative method, as VT Job Connect is not responsible for the Employer application process.

When you ask VT Job Connect to submit your application or other information through VT Job Connect, you are sending Your Resume and application information to VT Job Connect, and you are requesting and authorizing VT Job Connect to make available such application information to the applicable Employer(s) for the indicated Job Listing(s). You further agree to VT Job Connect’s performance of automated processing in relation to your application, as such processing is an essential part of this Agreement. When you ask VT Job Connect to transmit an application or a message, including, but not limited to, a signed offer letter, to an Employer via VT Job Connect or VT Job Connect’s relay system, or store such application, you understand that this is without warranty, and that VT Job Connect reserves the right to reformat such application or message. Additionally, you consent to your application and any responses sent to you by the Employer (including offer letters) through VT Job Connect being processed and analyzed by VT Job Connect according to this Agreement and VT Job Connect’s Privacy Policy.

You acknowledge and agree that Employers may request that VT Job Connect assemble your application materials, resume, answers to screener questions, assessment responses and other information you provide to VT Job Connect into one document, and you agree that in doing so, VT Job Connect assembles these application materials on your behalf. When you apply to a job using VT Job Connect, VT Job Connect will attempt to send your application to the contact information provided to us by an Employer or their Agent, which may include sending your application to an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) or other service provider selected by the Employer. You agree that Employers can enable such service providers to access and manage their VT Job Connect accounts, including by connecting to and integrating with APIs provided or used by VT Job Connect. By applying for a job through VT Job Connect, you agree to Employer’s use of such service providers, and acknowledge that such use may involve an intermediary’s access to job applications sent to its Employer client. We cannot guarantee that such messages and applications will be delivered, received, accessed, read or acted upon. VT Job Connect also does not guarantee that any Employer will receive, be notified about, access, read or respond to any such resume or other application material, or that there will be no mistakes in the transmission or storage of the data. VT Job Connect depends on the Employer or the Employer’s agent to provide VT Job Connect with the correct destination for all applications, and we cannot vouch for the validity of the contact information provided to us by Employers. If the electronic destination provided to VT Job Connect is incorrect, your application materials will not be sent to the intended recipient of the application. Further, VT Job Connect does not guarantee that the interface will be error-free. However, VT Job Connect may alert you when any of the above events occur.

Please note that Job Ads may expire between the time you submit your application and from the time it is received. VT Job Connect has no responsibility for expired Job Ads or for delivering applications prior to a Job Ad’s expiration, and VT Job Connect and its third party providers may store your application and related information regardless of whether a Job Listing has been closed or is no longer available on the Site. We also cannot vouch for the technical capabilities of any third party sites, including but not limited to ATSs. Third party sites, including ATSs used by Employers, may disclaim liability for technical malfunctions, including the failure in the delivery of applications. We are not responsible if an ATS rejects or fails to deliver an application to an Employer for any reason. If you do not feel comfortable sending an application or messages in this manner, or having your application or messages stored by VT Job Connect on VT Job Connect’s or third party providers’ servers, do not use VT Job Connect or VT Job Connect relay functions and please send your application or messages directly to the Employer by whatever other method you so choose, including the public mail system. You may contact the Employer directly to find alternative methods of application if you do not wish to apply through VT Job Connect. By using VT Job Connect system, you fully consent to the above.

By using VT Job Connect, you agree that VT Job Connect is not responsible for the content of the Employer’s job application, messages, screener questions, skills assessments or their format or method of delivery, and that VT Job Connect does not guarantee receipt of your application by the Employer, or your receipt of messages from the Employer. Please note that VT Job Connect does not choose the questions asked by Employers or decide the job qualification criteria of Employers. Employers are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act and similar laws, anti-discrimination laws such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and any applicable data protection or privacy laws. Employers are responsible for offering alternative methods of screening, if so required by the Americans with Disabilities Act or any similar law. You must contact the Employer if you require alternative methods of screening. Some questions may be labeled as Optional, indicating only that the application may be submitted to the Employer without providing an answer. VT Job Connect cannot guarantee that the Employer will consider such an application or make a particular determination with regard to such an application. VT Job Connect does not guarantee the identity of an Employer or any individuals working for any Employers, and cautions Job Seekers when applying to jobs. VT Job Connect cannot make any guarantee regarding health and safety measures in an Employer’s hiring or interviewing process. VT Job Connect recommends Job Seekers follow personal health and safety best practices as recommended by the World Health Organization or similar institution. VT Job Connect does not guarantee the validity of a job offer and cautions Job Seekers to verify the validity of a job offer before taking an adverse action regarding their current employment situations. Job Seekers are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of any Employer or job offer.

By using VT Job Connect and answering screener questions, you acknowledge that Employers may have instructed VT Job Connect to send out rejection notices if your answers do not match the answers sought by the Employer, and you acknowledge that VT Job Connect has no discretion in the transmission of these rejections. VT Job Connect may offer Employers the ability to activate a feature on their account called Employer Assist. Activating Employer Assist means the Employer is instructing VT Job Connect to send a message on the Employer’s behalf to the Job Seeker informing them that the Employer has determined not to move forward with their application. These notices are automatically sent after a period of time selected by the Employer, unless the Employer indicates to VT Job Connect their interest in your application. You acknowledge and agree that VT Job Connect has no discretion in the sending of these messages, and that any such messages are solely a result of the Employer’s decision to activate Employer Assist and to not take an action on your application on VT Job Connect within the time period selected by the Employer. Any interactions the Employer has directly with you and not through a tool provided by VT Job Connect (for example, calling or emailing you directly instead of through an VT Job Connect Relay Service) are not visible to VT Job Connect, and would not by themselves prevent an Employer Assist rejection notice from being sent. VT Job Connect assumes no responsibility, and disclaims all liability, for the content, accuracy, validity, completeness, legality, reliability, or availability of any Employer Assist notices.

You acknowledge that as part of its efforts to combat fraud and spam, VT Job Connect may require that users verify their email address. When you apply to a job through VT Job Connect, you agree that you may be required to verify your email address, and that failure to verify may lead to your application being rejected.

When you view, send, store or receive communications or materials (including Job Listings, resumes, messages, applications, questions and responses in applications, and any other information) on or through the Site, you agree to your communication and materials being processed, analyzed, reviewed, and stored, including via automated means, for data analysis, quality control, enforcement of the Sites’ rules and other VT Job Connect policies, content moderation, and to improve the Site or any other VT Job Connect product or service whether via automated means or otherwise.

When an Employer views, sends, stores or receives communications or materials through or using the Site, VT Job Connect may inform you about such actions. Additionally, we may also inform you that an Employer has taken other actions with regards to a Job Ad, your Resume, or your application, such as pausing or closing a Job Ad, opening your Resume or application, viewing your Resume or application, responding to your Resume or application, and making a decision with regards to your application or Job Ad. VT Job Connect may inform the Employer about activities you take on the Site or your use of the Site, for example, whether you are online, recently active, or active on VT Job Connect, and you hereby consent to VT Job Connect taking such actions. As part of this functionality, you may receive messages, including but not limited to text messages, emails or email notifications corresponding with your or an Employer’s (in the event you applied for a job) activity on or use of the Site, VT Job Connect, VT Job Connect Chat, or any other communications service, product, or feature provided on or through the Site. In all cases, such messages or notifications are provided solely as a courtesy, and you should not rely on them. For example, if you accept an interview request, it is your responsibility to follow up with the employer separately to ensure they know your response, do not rely on notifications through VT Job Connect. VT Job Connect disclaims all warranties with regards to the transmission or storage of such courtesy notices, does not guarantee their delivery or receipt, and does not guarantee the date or time at which they may be sent. In the event a message being sent is intended for a closed account, these messages will not be deliverable.

Employers may offer you the opportunity to participate in virtual, pre-recorded, and remote communications.You understand that VT Job Connect is not a telecommunications service provider and that VT Job Connect is only providing the option for you to communicate with Employers via services that may be offered by third-party providers. Please note that since these telecommunication services may depend on the functionality of third-party providers, there may be technical delays or malfunctions on the part of those providers. We cannot vouch for the technical capabilities of any third parties to receive, transmit, or support such phone or video communications. VT Job Connect does not guarantee any aspect of your Virtual Interview experience including transmission of phone or video communications, quality of audio/visual content, data security, or data usage and restrictions. VT Job Connect is not liable for any claims arising out of your use of Virtual Interviews and you release VT Job Connect from any such claims.

You understand that VT Job Connect does not guarantee the Employer’s schedule or availability for conducting Virtual Interviews and cannot vouch for the validity of the contact information provided to us. You also understand that the Employer is responsible for any and all questions, comments, or hiring decisions made. Further, Employers are responsible for any accommodations you need during Virtual Interviews.

Terms of Service for Employers

You are responsible for the contents of your emails, application form, screener questions or their format, criteria you set for inviting candidates to interview, Company Pages that you create, update, or manage any Job Listings that you post, and any messages that you send through VT Job Connect or otherwise, and agree that VT Job Connect is not responsible for such content and disclaims all liability for such content, including as to whether such content is legal. You agree that you are solely responsible for compliance with applicable law for all content on the Site, including minimum wage requirements, wage transparency laws, or any other law. If you close or change any Job Listings that you post, you agree to promptly update such Job Listings on VT Job Connect or otherwise notify VT Job Connect. VT Job Connect may provide you with a mechanism for responding to requests for accommodations from Job Seekers. You are responsible for ensuring that your selection criteria are job-related, that you do not pose “disability-related inquiries” or medical inquiries in violation of the law, and that you do not screen out people with disabilities or members of any protected category under the law. You further acknowledge that you are responsible for offering alternative methods of screening, if so required by the Americans with Disabilities Act or any similar law. You are responsible for clearly indicating that reasonable accommodations are available, engaging with and responding to any requests for accommodation, and providing information about how to request an accommodation to Job Seekers.

You agree that VT Job Connect may reject or remove any Job Listing or any questions for Job Seekers for any or no reason. For example, VT Job Connect may remove any Job Listing or question that directly or indirectly discriminates against Job Seekers. Direct discrimination means, for example, that a Job Listing or question specifically makes clear that only Job Seekers matching a certain criteria are wanted, thereby excluding others because of, for example, their gender, race, age or disability. Indirect discrimination means, for example, that a Job Listing or question implicitly excludes certain classes of Job Seekers by making it impossible for them to qualify for the job requirements. You understand and agree that it is your responsibility to refrain from posting any Job Listing or question that directly or indirectly discriminates against Job Seekers or otherwise violates applicable law. VT Job Connect further does not guarantee delivery, your receipt of the Job Seeker’s emails or application materials, or that there will be no mistakes in the transmission or storage of the data. You are solely responsible for checking your Employer dashboard to view job applications and other information. Any notifications, such as emails, you may receive about applications or other activities, are provided solely as a courtesy to you and you should not rely on them.

In the event a message being sent is intended for a closed account, these messages will not be deliverable. If you do not feel comfortable sending a message, such as an offer letter, to a Job Seeker through VT Job Connect’s relay functions, do not use the VT Job Connect relay functions and please contact the Job Seeker via another method. When using VT Job Connect function, VT Job Connect will attempt to send applications to the contact information provided to VT Job Connect by you, however, VT Job Connect has no ability to verify the contact information provided by you. In the event you provide incorrect contact information, it shall be your responsibility to correct, appropriately respond, or take any steps necessary to protect the privacy of such Job Seekers, and you indemnify VT Job Connect for any damages resulting therefrom.

If VT Job Connect decides to remove a job listing for any reason, you should not expect to be refunded for any costs associated with the job listing. Though we may initiate refunds to users of the site, we are not obligated to do so.
