Terms of Service

These draft terms describe the intended rules for the JPOS.ca job platform (the “Platform”). The Platform helps employers and job seekers connect through job listings, applications, profiles, and application-linked messages.

1. Accounts and access

Users must provide accurate account information, protect their credentials, and use only the account type assigned to them. Employers and job seekers may use only the tools allowed for their account role. Staff access is limited by role and may be audited.

2. User-submitted information

Users are responsible for ensuring information they submit is accurate, truthful, current, complete, and not misleading. Users must not submit forged, altered, fabricated, fraudulent, or deceptive resumes, credentials, references, job details, identity information, or other content.

3. Employer and applicant due diligence

The Platform may review information, investigate reports, retain records, and enforce policies. It does not certify, endorse, guarantee, or warrant the accuracy, qualifications, legality, suitability, legitimacy, or reliability of an employer, posting, applicant, resume, credential, opportunity, or user-submitted information.

Employers are responsible for independently evaluating applicants and verifying qualifications, education, work history, references, licenses, certifications, permits, background checks, and any other requirements before hiring. Job seekers are responsible for evaluating employers and opportunities.

4. Employer posting review

Under the current policy direction, a new employer’s first posting is held from public search while staff review the posting and submitted employer information for policy compliance, risk indicators, fraud concerns, and platform requirements. Approval records a “Reviewed Employer” status; it is not a certification or guarantee. Later review may be required when risk or reporting signals arise.

5. Applications, messages, and external application links

Applications submitted inside the Platform are linked to the selected posting. Some employers may instead provide an external application link; when a job seeker follows it, the employer’s site controls that application and its information. The Platform does not receive or maintain an external application unless the user separately applies through the Platform.

Messages are intended to remain linked to the relevant application or support case. Users must not misuse messaging, harass others, or send unlawful content.

6. Safety reports and enforcement

Users may report employers, job seekers, postings, applications, messages, fraud concerns, safety or privacy concerns, misuse, or other issues through the signed-in Support area or other designated reporting channels. JPOS.ca safety reports are stored separately from support cases and appear in the staff Moderation queue. Authorized staff may review, assign, prioritize, investigate, add internal notes, record an outcome, restrict or suspend accounts, pause or remove postings, and retain records as described in the final privacy notice. A report does not guarantee a particular finding, action, or response time.

7. Posting limits and records

JPOS.ca is currently configured to allow up to five different free postings in a rolling seven-day period. Each free posting is intended to remain public for 14 days. Applications and resume files are intended to remain available for up to 28 days after a posting ends, subject to earlier deletion, legal obligations, and the final retention policy. The live service’s configured behavior must be verified before these terms are published as final.

8. No employment relationship or outcome promise

The Platform is a connection service. It does not make hiring decisions, employ users, or promise that a listing is available or that a user will be hired.

9. Changes and contact

Before launch, confirm the legal operator and applicable governing terms with qualified counsel, choose an effective date, publish a working support contact, and review the final policy against the live service. This draft does not itself create a user agreement and may change before approval.
