Recruiter Verification Usage Agreement

RECRUITER VERIFICATION USAGE AGREEMENT

By creating an EthicCred Recruiter account, you (the recruiter or recruiting firm) agree to:

1. Lawful Use

Use EthicCred verifications only for lawful recruitment, screening, employer-of-record, and background-context purposes.

2. Consent Awareness

Acknowledge that verification represents data available to the Platform at the time of verification and does not constitute legal clearance, character certification, or guarantee of employment suitability.

3. Confidentiality

Treat data accessed through verification services as confidential, share it only with authorised parties involved in the hiring decision, and not redistribute, publish, or sell verification data.

4. Anti-Discrimination

Apply EthicCred data in compliance with applicable equal-opportunity and anti-discrimination laws.

5. Candidate Communication

Communicate honestly and promptly with candidates regarding verification outcomes where required by law or by EthicCred policy.

6. Audit Cooperation

Acknowledge that verification requests are logged and may be reviewed if abuse, mass-scraping, or impermissible use is suspected.

7. Prohibited Uses

Do not use the Platform to harass candidates, to penalise candidates for raising disputes, or to retaliate against legitimate complaints.

8. Termination

EthicCred may suspend or terminate recruiter access for violation of this Agreement or for security, fraud, or compliance reasons.
