These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern access to and use of the website, contact forms, job listings, communications, and related services made available by Propel Recruitment LLC, a California limited liability company (“Propel Recruitment,” “Propel,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). By accessing or using the website, submitting information to us, communicating with us, applying for a position through us, engaging us in connection with recruiting or talent placement services, or otherwise interacting with our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not access or use the website or services.If you are using the services on behalf of a business, employer, or other entity, you represent and warrant that you have full authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and “you” and “your” will refer to both you individually and that entity.

 

1. Scope of Services

 

Propel Recruitment is a professional recruiting and talent placement firm. Our services generally include identifying, sourcing, screening, interviewing, evaluating, and introducing candidates for potential employment, consulting, temporary, project-based, or other professional opportunities with client organizations. Our services may also include communicating with candidates and clients, coordinating interviews, gathering and organizing recruiting-related information, and facilitating discussions regarding role requirements, candidate background, compensation expectations, and potential fit.Propel Recruitment may provide services in connection with direct hire placements, contingent searches, consulting placements, temporary staffing arrangements, or similar recruiting engagements. The exact nature, scope, and structure of services may vary depending on the needs of the client, the role at issue, market conditions, the availability of candidates, and any separate written agreement governing a specific engagement.

 

Our website and related communications are intended to provide information about Propel Recruitment, allow prospective candidates and clients to contact us, and, where applicable, allow users to view job opportunities or submit inquiries relating to those opportunities. Propel Recruitment does not operate a consumer software platform requiring user account registration in order to access basic services. Rather, our services are largely relationship-based and are delivered through direct communications and professional recruiting activity.

 

2. Relationship to Separate AgreementsThese Terms govern general access to and use of the website and general interactions with Propel Recruitment unless and until a separate written agreement applies.If Propel Recruitment enters into a separate written recruiting agreement, placement agreement, staffing agreement, consulting agreement, master services agreement, fee agreement, or other contract with a client, that separate written agreement will control with respect to the subject matter covered by that agreement in the event of a conflict with these Terms.

 

Likewise, if Propel Recruitment presents a candidate subject to a specific fee agreement, replacement guarantee, refund arrangement, confidentiality arrangement, non-circumvention provision, or similar engagement-specific terms set forth in a writing, those specific terms will supplement and, where inconsistent, control over these Terms as to that relationship or transaction.

 

3. EligibilityYou may use the website and services only if you are able to form a binding contract under applicable law. By using the website or services, you represent and warrant that you are doing so lawfully and that your use will comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations.The website and services are intended for adults and for legitimate professional and business purposes. The website and services are not directed to children under the age of thirteen (13), and Propel Recruitment does not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children through the website.

 

4. No User Accounts; Internal ProfilesUsers are not required to create a registered account to access Propel Recruitment’s website or communicate with Propel Recruitment. However, Propel Recruitment may create and maintain internal records, profiles, notes, or files relating to candidates, client contacts, roles, inquiries, and recruiting activity for legitimate business purposes.

 

For candidates, such internal information may include contact information, resume or CV details, employment history, interview notes, work authorization information, compensation expectations, job preferences, or other professional information relevant to recruiting services. For clients, such internal information may include contact information, company information, hiring needs, role descriptions, interview feedback, and recruiting-related communications. Propel Recruitment may maintain such information in its internal systems and through authorized third-party service providers used to support recruiting operations.

 

The creation of such internal profiles or records does not create any ownership right, account right, employment right, or contractual guarantee in your favor.

 

5. Candidate Participation; No Fees to CandidatesCandidates are not charged a fee by Propel Recruitment for participating in the recruiting process, communicating with Propel Recruitment, being considered for opportunities, or being introduced to prospective employers through Propel Recruitment, unless expressly set forth in a separate signed writing.

 

A candidate’s communication with Propel Recruitment, submission of application materials, participation in interviews, or inclusion in Propel Recruitment’s systems does not guarantee that the candidate will be presented to a client, interviewed, hired, retained, engaged, or placed in any role. Propel Recruitment makes no promise or representation that any particular opportunity will be available, that any particular role will remain open, or that any candidate will receive an offer of employment or engagement.

 

6. Client Engagements; No Guaranteed Results

 

Propel Recruitment provides recruiting and placement services to hiring companies and other business clients. Unless expressly stated otherwise in a separate written agreement, Propel Recruitment does not guarantee hiring results, the availability of any particular candidate, the acceptance of any offer, the retention of any placed candidate, the speed of any search, or the success of any recruiting effort.Recruiting outcomes depend on multiple factors outside Propel Recruitment’s control, including candidate interest and availability, client responsiveness, compensation levels, market conditions, competition for talent, role changes, business conditions, interview performance, and the independent decisions of candidates and employers. Accordingly, all services are provided on a commercially reasonable efforts basis unless a separate written agreement expressly states otherwise.Any guarantee period, replacement arrangement, refund policy, prorated credit structure, contingent fee structure, flat fee structure, payment deadline, employer-of-record arrangement, or similar commercial term applicable to a client engagement will be governed by the specific client agreement applicable to that engagement.

Clients may modify, pause, or withdraw positions at any stage of the recruiting process.

Nothing in these Terms or in Propel Recruitment’s website or services creates an employment relationship, joint venture, partnership, agency, fiduciary relationship, or exclusive representation arrangement between Propel Recruitment and any user unless expressly set forth in a separate written agreement.Propel Recruitment is not the employer of candidates for direct hire opportunities presented to clients. For certain temporary or consulting arrangements, a third-party employer-of-record or staffing partner may serve as the employer of record or payroll administrator, and the applicable terms of that arrangement will be governed by the relevant agreements and onboarding materials associated with that engagement.Any feedback, guidance, commentary, or communication provided by Propel Recruitment regarding resumes, interviews, compensation, career direction, market conditions, or opportunities is provided for general informational and recruiting purposes only and does not constitute legal advice, tax advice, immigration advice, financial advice, or a guarantee of career outcome.

Propel Recruitment does not control and is not responsible for the content, availability, accuracy, security, policies, or practices of any third-party service.Links to third-party sites or use of third-party tools do not imply that Propel Recruitment endorses or guarantees those third parties.
