Terms of Use

1Who we are and what these Terms cover

1.1PlacementPlus is operated by Eezyverify (Pty) Ltd (2026/041935/07), trading as PlacementPlus.

1.2These Terms apply when you visit our website, create a candidate account, or apply for a position through the platform. By creating an account you accept them.

1.3If you are an employer, recruiter or public body using PlacementPlus to hire, your use is governed by the Subscription Agreement between us, and not by these Terms.

1.4We may amend these Terms. Where a change materially affects your rights, we will ask you to read and accept the new version when you next sign in. Your account records which version you accepted and when, so a change does not silently apply to something you agreed to under different wording.

2What PlacementPlus is, and is not

2.1PlacementPlus is a platform on which employers publish positions, receive applications, and arrange background verification.

2.2We are not an employment agency, a recruiter, or your agent. We do not find you work, negotiate on your behalf, or represent you to an employer.

2.3We do not decide who is shortlisted, interviewed, offered a position or rejected. Every one of those decisions is made by the employer.

2.4The platform scores applications against a job specification to help an employer rank them. A score is an aid to a person’s decision and is not itself a decision. You may ask us for the components of your score, and we hold them.

2.5We do not guarantee that any position is genuine, that an employer will respond, or that you will be employed. We take reasonable steps to verify that clients are who they say they are, and cannot warrant their conduct.

3Your account

3.1You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. If you are younger, do not register.

3.2You must give accurate information and keep it current. An account created with somebody else’s identity, or in a false name, will be closed.

3.3Your account is yours alone. Do not share your password or let anybody else use your account.

3.4Tell us promptly at privacy@placementplus.co.za if you believe somebody else has used your account.

3.5You are responsible for what is done through your account, except to the extent it results from our failure to keep the platform secure.

4What you tell us must be true

4.1Everything you put in your profile — your identity, qualifications, employment history, skills and referees — must be true and complete.

4.2Employers may verify what you have told us. A qualification you did not obtain or an employment period you did not work will usually be found, and finding it is the point of the service.

4.3Where a verification contradicts something in your profile, we will tell you before any further action is taken, and you may correct the profile or explain the discrepancy.

4.4A deliberate falsehood in your profile is a material breach of these Terms and we may close your account. We may also be obliged to tell an employer to whom you have already applied, where the falsehood is material to an application they are considering.

4.5An honest mistake is not a falsehood. If you realise something is wrong, correct it — nothing follows from a corrected error.

5Referees

5.1If you nominate a referee, you are sharing another person’s contact details with us and with employers.

5.2You confirm that you have that person’s permission to do so, and that they know they may be contacted about you.

5.3You may remove a referee from your profile at any time. We cannot recall details already given to an employer, who becomes responsible for them.

6Verification checks

6.1Verification is not part of these Terms and is not a condition of having an account. It is a separate consent, given when you register and withdrawable at any time from your profile.

6.2An employer may order checks only where they hold your permission for the specific checks in question, and must confirm to us that they do before we will order anything.

6.3Results go to the employer who ordered them. We do not share them with any other employer, and one employer’s check is not reused by another.

6.4If you withdraw your consent, no further check will be run. Checks already completed are not undone, and results already given to an employer remain with them.

6.5If a check produces an adverse finding, the employer must give you an opportunity to respond before relying on it. That obligation is on the employer, and we require it of them in our agreement with them.

7Interviews and recordings

7.1An employer may invite you to a recorded interview or to a meeting. Both are optional and you may decline; declining may mean the employer does not proceed.

7.2A recorded interview is answered in your own time within a stated window. You may practise as often as you like before recording, and practice recordings are never uploaded.

7.3A recording is available to the employer who requested it and to any panellist they nominate for that interview. It is not shared more widely and is deleted according to the schedule in the Privacy Policy.

7.4Do not record anything you are not willing for that employer to see. We cannot recall a recording once it has been submitted.

8How you may use the platform

8.1Use PlacementPlus to look for work for yourself. That is the only permitted use for a candidate account.

8.2You must not: apply on somebody else’s behalf; create more than one account for yourself; scrape, copy or systematically extract listings or data; attempt to gain access to another person’s account or to any part of the platform not intended for you; interfere with the platform’s operation; or upload anything malicious.

8.3You must not upload content that is unlawful, defamatory, or that infringes somebody else’s rights. Do not upload another person’s personal information except a referee’s contact details, with their permission.

8.4We may investigate suspected breaches and may suspend access while doing so.

9Your content

9.1You keep ownership of what you put into your profile.

9.2You give us permission to store it, process it, and show it to employers you apply to, for as long as you have an account. That permission is what makes the service work and ends when your account does, subject to clause 10.

9.3We do not sell your information, do not share it with employers you have not applied to, and do not use it to market anything to you on behalf of a third party.

9.4We own the platform itself — its software, design, scoring method and documentation. Nothing here gives you rights in it.

10Closing your account

10.1You may close your account at any time from your profile, without giving a reason and without charge.

10.2When you close it, your profile stops being visible to employers and no further application can be made.

10.3Applications you have already submitted stay with the employers you submitted them to. Those employers are responsible for that information under their own obligations, and we will tell you who they are if you ask.

10.4We keep certain records after closure, as the Privacy Policy sets out: application and decision records for three years, because that is the period in which an unfair discrimination claim may be brought; consent records for five years, because a record of consent has to outlive the processing it authorised.

10.5We may suspend or close your account if you materially breach these Terms. We will tell you why, and you may respond. Where the breach is capable of being remedied, we will give you a reasonable opportunity to remedy it before closing the account.

11Availability and changes to the platform

11.1We aim to keep PlacementPlus available but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Maintenance, faults and events outside our control will sometimes interrupt it.

11.2We may change, add or remove features. Where a change materially reduces what a candidate account can do, we will give notice on the platform.

11.3We do not charge candidates for access, and nothing in these Terms obliges you to pay us anything.

12Liability

12.1Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything that cannot lawfully be excluded — including our obligations under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 and POPIA.

12.2Subject to clause 12.1, we are not liable for an employer’s decision, conduct, or use of information you gave them, nor for the accuracy of a verification result supplied by a third-party provider.

12.3Subject to clause 12.1, we are not liable for loss of an employment opportunity, loss of earnings, or indirect or consequential loss.

12.4Because the service is free to candidates, our total liability to you in respect of any claim is limited to R10,000, save where clause 12.1 applies.

12.5You are responsible for what you put on the platform and for the consequences of anything untrue in it.

13Complaints, disputes and law

13.1If something goes wrong, tell us first at privacy@placementplus.co.za. We will acknowledge within 5 business days and respond within 30 days.

13.2If your complaint is about how we handled your personal information and you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Information Regulator of South Africa.

13.3If your complaint is about an employer’s hiring decision, we will tell you who the employer is so you can approach them. We are not able to review or reverse their decision.

13.4These Terms are governed by the law of the Republic of South Africa, and the South African courts have jurisdiction.

13.5Nothing in these Terms limits your rights under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008, the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995, the Employment Equity Act 55 of 1998, or POPIA.

14General

14.1If a clause is found to be invalid, it is severed and the rest continues to apply.

14.2If we do not enforce a right immediately, we do not lose it.

14.3These Terms, the Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy are the whole of the agreement between you and PlacementPlus about your use of the platform.

14.4You may not transfer your account or your rights under these Terms to anybody else.

14.5We may transfer our rights and obligations to another company in our group, or to a buyer of the business, provided your rights under these Terms are not reduced.

14.6We will contact you by email at the address on your account, or through the platform. Keep your email address current.
