Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions govern access to and use of Northern Cape Recruitment, including www.northerncaperecruitment.co.za. They apply to candidates, employers, recruiters, visitors and users who purchase services through the platform.

By using the platform, you agree to the Terms that apply to your use of it.

Northern Cape Recruitment facilitates recruitment and employment advertising by connecting employers with job seekers and providing employer recruitment tools, candidate profiles and controlled Talent Search access.

We do not guarantee employment, that an employer will appoint a candidate, or a specific number or quality of applications unless this has been expressly agreed in writing.

Core candidate services are free where they are available on the platform, including:

• candidate registration and profile creation;
• CV upload and job search;
• job applications; and
• Talent Pool participation.

Candidates must provide accurate, lawful and current information. We may remove profiles or content that is misleading, fraudulent, abusive or unlawful.

Employers must provide accurate company information and use the platform lawfully.

• Do not impersonate another business or post fraudulent vacancies.
• Comply with applicable South African employment and anti-discrimination laws.
• Handle candidate information in accordance with POPIA and other applicable law.

Northern Cape Recruitment may verify or approve an employer profile before enabling services or access.

Standard Job Listings and Featured Job Listings are ordinarily available for a 30-day listing period. Featured listings may receive the enhanced visibility or features shown on the Services & Pricing page at the time of purchase.

A vacancy may close earlier where the employer sets an earlier closing date, the role is filled, the employer closes it, or it is removed for policy or compliance reasons. A paid listing does not automatically extend beyond its purchased period.

Three and five Job Credit packages may be used for eligible Standard Job Listings. Credits are linked to the relevant employer or company account and may be valid for up to six months from activation or purchase where configured on the platform.

• Unused expired credits may lapse unless otherwise agreed in writing.
• Credits are not transferable between unrelated companies.
• Credits have no cash value and may not be resold.

Where the current platform promotion applies, an approved company may receive one introductory Standard Job Credit. It is available once per approved company, remains subject to platform verification, and is not redeemable for cash.

Talent Search passes may provide access for seven or 30 days. Access starts on activation and ends automatically after the purchased period.

Employers may use candidate information only for legitimate recruitment purposes. They may not scrape, sell, unlawfully distribute or use candidate information for unrelated marketing without a lawful basis.

Employer Growth is currently presented as a monthly package at R850 per month and may include features configured on the Services & Pricing page, such as up to five active vacancies, Talent Search, candidate search, applicant management, screening tools and profile benefits.

The active features are those displayed at the time of purchase. The platform does not promise automated recurring billing unless that capability is expressly enabled.

Candidate Shortlisting, Vacancy + Shortlisting and Managed Recruitment may need a custom scope, manual review, quotation or separate written agreement. “From” prices are indicative minimums; final pricing may depend on the role, applicant volume, screening level and agreed recruitment scope.

Accepted payment methods may include an approved online payment gateway and EFT / bank transfer.

• For EFT, use the NCR order reference supplied and upload proof of payment where requested.
• Uploading proof of payment is not confirmation that funds have been received.
• Services activate only after payment verification or approval.
• For online payments, a browser return alone is not proof of payment; provider and server verification is required.

NCR order references are used for payments, order tracking, support and reconciliation. Users must quote the correct reference when communicating about an order or payment.

Prices displayed on the website are the current applicable prices. Founding Employer Rates may be reviewed, but a completed purchase remains subject to the terms and price applicable at the time of purchase. Any applicable taxes or fees are handled as shown on the relevant order, invoice or website.

Employers are responsible for the accuracy, legality, closing dates, requirements, remuneration information and lawful screening questions in their vacancies.

We may reject or remove fraudulent, discriminatory, misleading, unlawful, duplicate, spam, unsafe or scam vacancies.

Candidates must ensure that their CV information, qualifications and documents are accurate and lawful, and that applications are made honestly.

Northern Cape Recruitment is not the employer unless expressly stated. The platform does not guarantee an interview, placement, employment, candidate availability or a successful recruitment outcome.

We may carry out maintenance, improve functionality, change features, suspend abuse or discontinue products. Active purchases will be handled reasonably in accordance with applicable law and the applicable service terms.

The website branding, content, logos, software, interface and original platform materials are protected. Users retain responsibility for their uploaded content and grant us the limited right to store, process and display it as needed to operate the platform and provide the requested services.

You may not use the platform for fraud, hacking, scraping, spam, impersonation, malicious uploads, unlawful discrimination, data resale, payment or credit circumvention, or abusive conduct.

The platform is provided subject to applicable South African law. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. To the extent permitted by law, Northern Cape Recruitment is not responsible for indirect losses arising from a user’s recruitment decisions, third-party content or events outside our reasonable control.

Accounts may be suspended or terminated for fraud, misuse, unlawful conduct, repeated policy breaches, payment abuse or data misuse.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa.

We may publish material updates to these Terms on the website. The “Last updated” date will be changed when an update is published.
