Their purpose is to ensure that users who search the site or the Blockchain Talent database get results that are presented as clearly and informatively as possible. You agree that we may, at our discretion and without liability to you, remove from Blockchain Talent any advertisement which is posted in breach of these rules. The rules may change from time to time and you are advised to refer to them regularly.

The job posted must exist in the location advertised unless it is a franchise opportunity or remote working (which must be selected when posting an advert and stated in the vacancy description).

The job title should be specific and be the best description for the role. It must not include locations, salaries or company names, and should not be a slogan (e.g. Great Opportunity or Money To Be Made!).

Emails and URLs within job descriptions are not allowed. We will automatically remove these.

The description of the role should mention the required skills as well as details describing the role. Specific contact names should not be mentioned in the job description.

If the job role offers training and there is a charge for this then the vacancy must state this.

Advertisements which discriminate (or appear to discriminate) on grounds of sex, race, age or disability are illegal and may result in proceedings being taken against both the advertiser and the publisher. Advertisements are accepted by Blockchain Talent on the basis that the advertiser confirms that any requirement or qualification which may appear to discriminate illegally follows any exemption available under the relevant legislation. Notwithstanding this confirmation, if we nonetheless believe that an advertisement may be discriminatory, we may at our discretion either amend the advertisement or remove it from Blockchain Talent without liability to you to make any refund of amounts paid or due to be paid in respect of the posting or otherwise and will inform you accordingly.

The vacancy should accurately describe the role and not mislead the Candidate; sufficient detail should be included for the Candidate to understand the nature of the role and the basic requirements of the role. If a role requires a Candidate to work in multiple locations then the vacancy must state this; similarly, if the role is a commission only role then this must be stated on the vacancy.

To protect our candidates from job scams and fraud, we ask employers not to request payments during the recruitment process. Any reports made to Blockchain Talent will be investigated and may lead to the termination of your account without a refund.

Upon notification of such an event, we will render such a password inoperable and will issue a new password by a mutually agreed method (telephone or email or post).
