Employer Terms

Version 2026-09-14

These Employer Terms govern startups that advertise vacancies on Find a Startup Job. By publishing a job you confirm you are authorised to advertise a genuine vacancy, that the information is accurate and current, and that the role complies with applicable employment and equality law.

Listings stay live for 30 days from publication unless you close or renew them earlier. Find a Startup Job may remove listings that breach these terms or applicable law.

Candidate data and applications

Candidate information made available through Find a Startup Job may only be used for the recruitment process relating to the vacancy for which the candidate submitted their application.

You must keep candidate information secure and restrict access to people who reasonably require it for that recruitment process.

You must not sell, disclose or provide candidate information obtained through Find a Startup Job to other employers, recruiters, recruitment agencies or unrelated third parties except where necessary for the recruitment process and permitted by applicable law.

When a vacancy is closed, expires or is removed from Find a Startup Job, you must stop using and securely delete candidate CVs, application documents and other personal data obtained through Find a Startup Job once you no longer require them for the relevant recruitment process.

You must not retain candidate information for unrelated vacancies, a general talent pool or future recruitment unless:

  • you have clearly informed the candidate of that separate purpose; and
  • you have an appropriate lawful basis for retaining and using that information.

You may retain limited candidate information where reasonably necessary to comply with a legal obligation or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Information retained for those limited purposes must not be used for general recruitment or marketing and should be securely deleted when that purpose no longer applies.

This page is a working draft. Full Employer Terms wording still requires legal review before production use.
