Terms of use 8vance Service

1) Description

8vance Service is a platform that enables companies (“Corporate Partner”) to post job offers and to match candidate profiles with their jobs in a very comprehensive way. Herewith it helps our Corporate Partner to ease its recruitment process and to take quicker and more profound decisions.

For You 8vance Service gives the opportunity to present Yourself in a wider scale beyond sending in the standard CV. However, it is pointed out that 8vance Service does not include finding jobs.

a) Registration

To make use of 8vance Service You first have to register Yourself with a user name and a password. You can do this either directly with us or by using the login process via facebook.com or LinkedIn.com with your login data of these social networks.

b) Own Profile

In a second step You are asked to add various data and to answer questions to generate Your profile and to present Yourself.

c) Job Details

Now You are asked to answer some questions about Your desired type of job.

d) Corporate Partner

Our Corporate Partner will use the system to publish its job offers and to match the profile of candidates with it. The first matching process will be conducted with anonymised profiles and the Corporate Partner will decide on the profiles he wishes to view completely. In case the Corporate Partner asks to view Your full profile You will be asked to agree to the publication. Only and as far as You agree to give the Corporate Partner access to Your data the Corporate Partner will be able to view and download Your profile and desired job data.
