Terms of use

2. What the Service does

Ricoom Jobs provides a platform for employers to publish vacancies and for candidates to discover and apply for them. Where an application is submitted through Ricoom Jobs, we make it available to the employer responsible for that vacancy.

We do not make hiring decisions, promise that a vacancy will remain available, guarantee an interview or job offer, or act as the employer of a candidate. A job listing does not create an employment, agency, or partnership relationship between Ricoom Jobs and a candidate or employer.

An employer may provide an external application link. That application is handled through the employer’s process and may be subject to the employer’s own terms and privacy notice.

3. Candidate responsibilities

• Provide information that is accurate, current, and not misleading, and update or correct it where necessary.
• Submit only application materials you are entitled to share. Do not upload another person’s personal information without lawful authority.
• Do not include passwords, payment-card details, or unrelated sensitive information in an application.
• Review a vacancy and the employer’s identity carefully. Contact the employer through an independently verified channel if anything appears suspicious.
• Do not pay a person claiming that payment will secure a job or interview through Ricoom Jobs. Report suspicious listings to hello@ricoomjobs.com.

Applying through Ricoom Jobs is free unless a listing clearly directs you to a separate third-party process. We do not endorse any request to pay for a job opportunity.

4. Employer responsibilities

• Provide truthful organization and vacancy details, and ensure you are authorized to represent the organization.
• Use candidate information and documents only for legitimate recruitment and related purposes, and make them available only to people who need them for that work.
• Handle candidate personal data in accordance with applicable law, including the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019, and provide candidates with any notices required for your recruitment process.
• Keep account credentials confidential, notify us promptly of suspected unauthorized access, and ensure authorized users follow these terms.
• Remove or update listings that are filled, withdrawn, inaccurate, or no longer authorized.

Employers are responsible for their recruitment decisions, communications with candidates, and their own handling of candidate data after receiving an application.

5. Accounts, access, and acceptable use

Some employer features require an account and approval. You must provide truthful registration information and protect your password. You are responsible for activity carried out using your account, except where applicable law provides otherwise. Contact us promptly if you believe an account has been compromised.

You must not use the Service unlawfully; interfere with its operation or security; attempt to access another person’s account or restricted information; introduce malicious code; misrepresent a vacancy or organization; or collect, copy, or use information from the Service in a way that violates law or another person’s rights.

We may restrict or suspend access where reasonably necessary to protect Users, investigate suspected misuse, comply with law, or maintain the Service. Where practical, we will provide a reason and an opportunity to address the issue.

6. User content and intellectual property

You retain rights you hold in content you submit. You give us permission to host, store, display, and transmit that content only as reasonably needed to operate the Service—for example, to display a job listing or deliver an application to its intended employer. You must have the rights and permissions needed to grant this permission.

The Service’s design, branding, software, and other materials are owned by or licensed to their respective rights holders. You may use the Service for its intended purpose, but may not copy, modify, distribute, or commercially exploit protected materials without permission or a legal right to do so.

7. Availability and third-party services

We work to keep the Service useful and available, but access may be interrupted for maintenance, security, technical failures, or circumstances outside our reasonable control. We may change or discontinue features and will provide notice where reasonably practicable.

The Service may link to employer or other third-party websites. Those websites are controlled by their operators, not Ricoom Jobs. We are not responsible for their content, availability, recruitment processes, or privacy practices. Review their terms and privacy notices before using them.

8. Liability and legal rights

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Ricoom Jobs is not responsible for the accuracy of employer-provided listings, an employer’s conduct or hiring decisions, or loss arising from a third-party website or process. Nothing in these terms removes rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded, or limits liability where the law does not permit that limitation.

The Service and its content are provided on an “as available” basis. We do not guarantee that every listing is suitable for a particular candidate or that use of the Service will result in employment.

9. Changes and governing law

We may update these terms as the Service or applicable requirements change. The date at the top shows when this page was last revised. Continued use after updated terms are published means you accept them, to the extent permitted by law. If a change materially affects your rights, we will take reasonable steps to bring it to your attention.

These terms are governed by the laws of Kenya. Any dispute will be handled by the competent courts of Kenya, subject to any mandatory rights or dispute-resolution requirements that apply to you.
