Jobs Board Terms

These terms apply when you post a job, apply for a job or browse Expatify Jobs. They add to our general Terms and Conditions and our Reviews and User Content Policy. If these terms and the general terms say different things about the jobs board, these terms apply.

By posting a job, or by using a job ad to apply to an employer, you agree to these terms.

1. Who we are

Expatify is operated by Drakestar Ventures Ltd, a company registered in Cyprus under number HE469158. Full details are in our Legal Notice.

2. What Expatify does, and what it does not do

Expatify Jobs is a noticeboard for job vacancies in Cyprus, and for remote jobs open to people living in Cyprus. We publish job ads written by employers. Each ad shows how to apply: the employer's application email (shown when you click "Apply by email") and, if the employer gives one, a link to the employer's own application page. Candidates apply directly to the employer. Expatify does not receive, read, pass on or keep applications, CVs or messages between candidates and employers.

Expatify:

• is not the employer of anyone who applies for or gets a job through the site;
• is not a recruitment agency or private employment agency. We do not find, select, interview, recommend or place candidates, and we do not take part in any hiring decision;
• does not take part in applications: what a candidate sends, and how the employer answers, is between them;
• does not guarantee that a job exists or is still open, that the details in an ad are accurate, that an employer is genuine or reputable, or that any application will be answered or will lead to a job;
• does not check the identity, licences, finances or working conditions of employers in depth. We look at each job before it goes online to filter out obvious breaches of these terms, but this check is limited and is not an endorsement.

Any contract of employment, or any other working arrangement, is made directly between the employer and the candidate.

3. Who can post a job

Jobs can be posted by employers based in Cyprus, by employers offering remote jobs open to people living in Cyprus, and by licensed recruitment agencies acting for a named or clearly described employer. You must be at least 18 years old and have authority to post on behalf of the employer.

4. Employers' responsibilities

When you post a job, you confirm that:

• the job is real and currently open, and you are hiring for it yourself or for a client you name or describe in the ad;
• the job title, duties, place of work, hours, type of contract and pay (where given) are accurate and not misleading;
• the job and the working conditions comply with Cyprus law, including the rules on minimum wage, working time, social insurance, health and safety, and the employment of young people;
• the ad and your hiring process comply with Cyprus and EU equal treatment law. You must not refuse or prefer candidates because of sex, pregnancy, age, race or ethnic origin, nationality (for EU citizens), religion or belief, disability or sexual orientation, unless a narrow legal exception applies;
• you will only employ people who have the right to work in Cyprus. Citizens of countries outside the EU usually need a residence and work permit before they start work, and it is the employer's responsibility to check this and to follow the procedures of the Civil Registry and Migration Department and the Department of Labour;
• if you act as a recruitment or employment agency, you hold any licence the law requires and you will not charge candidates any fee;
• the application email and application page you give belong to you or the employer you hire for, and you are happy for them to be shown to candidates on the ad;
• you have the right to use any logo or text you include in the ad.

You are solely responsible for your job ad, your hiring process, your decisions and your relationship with candidates and employees.

5. How candidates apply, and applicants' personal data

When posting a job, the employer must give an application email and may add a link to its own application page. The job ad shows an "Apply by email" button, which reveals the application email when a candidate clicks it, and the link to the application page if there is one. Candidates then write to the employer, or apply on the employer's page, directly.

Expatify does not receive, read, forward or store applications, CVs or any other message between a candidate and an employer, and does not know whether a candidate applied. The only personal data we keep about an employer's contact person is their name and email, used to confirm the ad, manage it and send reminders, as explained in our Privacy Policy.

The employer receives applications itself, so the employer decides how to use applicants' data and is responsible for it as the data controller under the GDPR and Cyprus data protection law. Employers must:

• use applicants' data only to consider them for the job they applied for, or for similar roles if the candidate agrees;
• keep it secure, and delete it when it is no longer needed;
• answer candidates who ask to see, correct or delete their data;
• never sell or pass the data to anyone else, or use it for marketing.

Candidates should only send the information needed for the application. Please do not send copies of passports, ID cards or bank details before you have a written job offer. If you have a question about what happens to an application you sent, ask the employer: Expatify never has it.

6. Job ads that are not allowed

You must not post:

• jobs that ask candidates to pay anything, such as registration, training, uniform, visa, work permit or "processing" fees, or deposits;
• pyramid schemes, multi-level marketing or "be your own boss" offers where income depends on recruiting others or on buying stock;
• jobs that are commission-only without saying so clearly, or that hide the real nature of the work;
• undeclared or illegal work, including work without social insurance where it is required, or work that needs a licence the employer does not have;
• adult work, escort or sexual services, or anything that may involve exploitation or trafficking;
• jobs that ask candidates to receive or move money or parcels for others, open bank accounts, or take part in anything that looks like money laundering or fraud;
• discriminatory ads, for example asking for a particular gender, age range, nationality, religion or appearance without a lawful reason;
• unpaid work described as a job, other than genuine volunteering for a registered non-profit or an internship that meets legal requirements;
• ads for several unrelated jobs, adverts for a business or a training course, or ads that only collect CVs without a real vacancy;
• anything that breaks the law in Cyprus.

This list is not complete: we may refuse or remove other ads that we reasonably consider unlawful, unsafe or not suitable for the site.

7. Advice for candidates

• A real employer never asks you to pay for a job, training, a uniform or a work permit.
• Do not send copies of your passport, ID card or bank details before you have a written offer.
• Check the company: a website, an address and a phone number you can call.
• If you are not an EU citizen, make sure your work permit is in place before you start.
• If something does not feel right, report the job to us.

8. Checking, removing and suspending jobs

We look at every job before it goes online and may ask for changes or refuse it. Jobs stay online for 30 days and can be renewed. We may, at any time and without notice, hide or remove a job, or stop an employer from posting, if:

• the job breaks these terms or the law;
• we receive a report that we consider well founded;
• we reasonably believe the job is a scam or a risk to candidates;
• an employer repeatedly posts jobs that break the rules.

When we remove a job or restrict an account, we tell the employer why by email, unless the law or a risk of harm stops us. You can ask us to look at the decision again; see our Report Illegal Content page for how this works.

9. Reporting a job

Every job has a "Report this job" link. To report illegal content in more detail, follow the steps on our Report Illegal Content page.

10. Our liability

Expatify provides the jobs board as a hosting service. We are not responsible for job ads, for applications or the way employers handle them, for employers' or candidates' conduct, for hiring decisions, for working conditions, or for anything agreed between an employer and a candidate.

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from a job ad, an application sent to an employer, or a job obtained or refused after seeing an ad on the site. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or your statutory rights as a consumer. Our general limitation of liability is in our Terms and Conditions.

11. Indemnity

Employers agree to cover the reasonable costs, losses and legal claims that Expatify suffers because a job ad or the employer's hiring process broke these terms or the law, including claims about discrimination or the use of applicants' data, and reasonable legal fees. This does not apply to the extent that a loss was caused by our own fault.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms, for example when we add new features or when the law changes. The date at the top of the page shows the latest version.

13. Law and courts

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Cyprus, and the courts of Cyprus have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer living in another EU country, you also keep the protection of the mandatory rules of that country and may bring a claim in its courts.
