About Smart Hiring
Smart Hiring is an online recruitment and job discovery platform that provides users with access to employment opportunities and related recruitment services.
The platform may allow job seekers to browse job opportunities, view job details, submit applications, upload resumes or other documents, and receive application-related communications.
Smart Hiring may also facilitate the publication of job opportunities provided by employers, recruiters, hiring teams, or other authorized parties.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, Smart Hiring is not the employer responsible for the jobs listed on the platform.
Acceptance of These Terms
By accessing or using Smart Hiring, you confirm that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms & Conditions.
If you are using Smart Hiring on behalf of a company, organization, employer, or other entity, you confirm that you have the authority to act on behalf of that entity.
These Terms & Conditions apply to all visitors, applicants, employers, recruiters, and other users of the platform.
User Eligibility
You may use Smart Hiring only if you are legally permitted to do so under applicable law.
Users are responsible for ensuring that their use of the platform complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
If you are below the legal age required to independently enter into agreements or use certain services in your jurisdiction, you should use the platform only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian where legally required.
Job Listings
Smart Hiring may publish job opportunities containing information such as job title, company name, location, employment type, work arrangement, experience requirements, salary information, skills, application deadlines, and other relevant details.
Job information may be supplied by employers, recruiters, hiring teams, or other authorized sources.
While reasonable efforts may be made to maintain accurate and up-to-date information, Smart Hiring does not guarantee that every job listing is complete, accurate, current, or available at all times.
A job opportunity may be changed, paused, closed, expired, cancelled, or filled by the relevant employer or recruiter without prior notice.
Smart Hiring reserves the right to remove, modify, suspend, or restrict access to any job listing where reasonably necessary.
No Guarantee of Employment
Applying for a job through Smart Hiring does not guarantee that an applicant will receive an interview, be shortlisted, or be selected for employment.
Smart Hiring does not guarantee any particular salary, employment duration, working conditions, benefits, promotion, or other employment outcome.
All hiring decisions are made by the relevant employer, recruiter, hiring manager, or authorized hiring representative.
Applicant Responsibilities
Applicants agree to:
- Provide truthful, accurate, and complete information.
- Keep contact information reasonably accurate and current.
- Submit only genuine and legally obtained documents.
- Ensure that resumes and other uploaded documents belong to them or that they have permission to submit them.
- Not misrepresent educational qualifications, work experience, professional skills, certifications, or employment history.
- Not impersonate another person.
- Not submit fraudulent or forged documents.
- Not use the platform for unlawful purposes.
Resume and Document Uploads
Users may be permitted to upload resumes, CVs, cover letters, or other documents when applying for certain job opportunities.
By uploading a document, you confirm that you have the necessary rights and permissions to provide that document for recruitment purposes.
You must not upload documents containing malicious software, harmful code, unlawful content, or information that you are not authorized to disclose.
Smart Hiring may reject, remove, or restrict access to uploaded documents that violate these Terms & Conditions or create security, legal, or operational risks.
Job Application Process
When you submit an application through Smart Hiring, the information you provide may be made available to the employer, recruiter, hiring manager, or authorized representative responsible for the relevant job opportunity.
Applicants understand that Smart Hiring may process and transmit application information for the purpose of facilitating recruitment.
Submission of an application does not create an employment relationship between the applicant and Smart Hiring.
Application Fees
Some job opportunities may require applicants to pay an application fee before submitting an application.
If an application fee applies, the amount should be displayed to the applicant before payment is completed.
The application fee may vary depending on the specific job opportunity.
A fee may be zero, in which case the application may be submitted without payment.
Applicants are responsible for reviewing the application fee, job information, and applicable policies before completing payment.
Payment Processing
Where paid applications are supported, payments may be processed through a third-party payment service provider.
Smart Hiring does not intend to directly store complete payment card numbers, CVV numbers, UPI PINs, banking passwords, or other sensitive payment credentials on its own application servers.
Payment processing may be subject to the terms, conditions, privacy policies, and security procedures of the applicable payment service provider.
Smart Hiring is not responsible for temporary payment gateway downtime, banking delays, payment provider errors, or issues caused by the applicant's bank or financial institution.
Refunds and Cancellations
Refunds for application fees are governed by the Smart Hiring Refund & Cancellation Policy.
Applicants should review the Refund & Cancellation Policy before completing a paid application.
Payment of an application fee does not guarantee employment, an interview, shortlisting, or selection.
Unless otherwise required by applicable law or specifically approved by Smart Hiring, an application fee may not be refundable merely because an applicant is not selected.
Employer and Recruiter Responsibilities
Employers, recruiters, and other parties submitting job opportunities are responsible for ensuring that their listings are accurate, lawful, and not misleading.
Employers and recruiters must not use Smart Hiring to publish fraudulent, deceptive, discriminatory, illegal, or misleading employment opportunities.
Employers and recruiters are responsible for complying with applicable employment, labor, anti-discrimination, privacy, consumer protection, and other relevant laws.
Employers and recruiters are responsible for their own hiring decisions and communications with applicants.
Fraud, Scams, and Suspicious Activities
Smart Hiring aims to provide a trustworthy environment for job seekers and employers. However, users should remain cautious when interacting with any person or organization online.
Smart Hiring does not authorize users to request passwords, OTPs, UPI PINs, banking passwords, or other highly sensitive credentials from applicants.
