Terms & Conditions

Last updated:

1. Acceptance

By creating an account or using HiringManager.in, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy and Refund Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the platform.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a contract under Indian law. Recruiter accounts must represent a registered business or sole proprietorship operating in India.

3. Accounts

You may hold one of two account types: Candidate or Recruiter. The same person may not hold both account types under the same email address.

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure. Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorised access.

4. Candidate terms

• HiringManager is free for candidates. We will never charge you to create a profile, apply for jobs, or be shortlisted.
• You must provide accurate information. Submitting false work history, education, or identity may result in account suspension and removal of applications.
• When you apply for a job, the employer who posted that listing can see your complete profile. By applying, you consent to this disclosure.
• Your profile level (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) is set by our moderation team. Levels are assigned based on profile completeness, experience, verification status, and platform conduct. Levels can be revised at any time.

5. Recruiter terms

• Recruiters must complete the business profile (company name, address, business contact, company verification document) before posting listings.
• Recruiter accounts are reviewed and verified by our team within approximately 24 hours of profile completion. We may approve, reject, or request additional information.
• Posting jobs requires credits. Each credit enables one job listing.
• You may not share recruiter account access with third parties, hiring agents, or staffing firms without prior written permission.
• You may not use candidate profile data outside HiringManager (for example, you may not sell or share applicant lists to other parties).

6. Job listings

• Each listing consumes one credit at the moment it is published.
• After publishing, you have a 24-hour edit window during which you may revise any field. After 24 hours, the listing is locked.
• A locked listing can only be deleted. Deleting a locked listing does not refund the credit.
• Listings are delisted and archived 45 days after publication. Archived listings cannot be re-activated; you must post a new listing (consuming a new credit) if you want to re-advertise the role.
• Once a listing is archived, you can no longer view its applicants. Export the applicant data (Excel) before the archive date if you need to retain it.
• Listings must accurately describe an actual hiring need. Postings for unrelated purposes (lead generation, MLM, commission-only schemes, training programs being sold as employment) are prohibited and will be removed without refund.

7. Credits & payments

• Credits are sold in packages denominated in Indian Rupees (INR).
• Payments are processed by Razorpay. By purchasing, you accept Razorpay's terms.
• Prices include applicable GST.
• Credits never expire while your account is active and in good standing.
• Credits are non-refundable once purchased, except in the cases described in our Refund Policy (duplicate charges, technical errors, verified fraud).
• Credits are non-transferable between accounts.

8. Verification

Recruiter verification is a manual review by our team. We may approve, request additional documents, or reject an application. Approval is not guaranteed. Rejected applicants will be refunded any credits purchased pre-verification.

We may suspend or revoke verification if a recruiter's conduct violates these Terms or if we receive credible reports of misuse.

9. Acceptable use

You may not:

• Create false profiles or impersonate another person or business.
• Use the platform to send spam, unsolicited messages, or marketing unrelated to a posted listing.
• Scrape, crawl, or extract data from the platform by automated means.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive source code.
• Use the platform for any illegal purpose or in violation of any law.
• Discriminate against candidates on the basis of caste, religion, gender, age, disability, or any protected characteristic.
• Harass, threaten, or harm other users.

Violations may result in immediate account termination without refund.

10. Intellectual property

The HiringManager platform, brand, code, design, and content (other than user-submitted content) are owned by HiringManager and protected by Indian and international copyright and trademark law.

You retain ownership of the content you submit (profile data, listings). By submitting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to host, display, and distribute it as needed to operate the platform.

11. Termination

You may close your account at any time from the dashboard or by emailing [email protected]. Closure does not refund unused credits.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, with or without notice. In cases of suspected fraud or security threats, we may suspend immediately and investigate.

12. Disclaimers

HiringManager is a marketplace. We do not employ candidates, and we are not party to any employment relationship between candidates and employers.

We do not guarantee that any listing will receive applications, that any candidate will be hired, or that any employer will respond. We make no warranties about the suitability, legality, or accuracy of any user's content.

The platform is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, HiringManager is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

14. Governing law & jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New Delhi, India.

15. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify users of material changes via in-app notification at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use after that constitutes acceptance.
