1. About these Terms
These Terms of Use govern access to and use of the GemSource Recruitment website, including its pages, content, contact forms, candidate enquiry or registration forms, insights, and linked resources.
This website is an informational and conversion-focused business website. It is not a public job board, open candidate marketplace, self-service recruitment platform, or candidate-facing portal.
By accessing or using this website, a user agrees to these Terms of Use. If a user does not agree, they should stop using the website.
These Terms of Use apply only to website use. They do not replace any separate client agreement, recruitment services agreement, terms of business, contractor agreement, confidentiality agreement, or other written contract issued by GemSource Recruitment.
2. Business model disclosure
GemSource Recruitment operates a client-only, agency-led recruitment model.
GemSource Recruitment primarily delivers services through retained or contingent search, proactive headhunting, referrals, targeted approach, and managed recruitment processes.
The website does not allow users to create public candidate accounts, browse an open list of vacancies, communicate with other users, or participate in an open-access employment marketplace.
Where appropriate, GemSource Recruitment may advertise or reference roles using selected third-party platforms, including public job boards. In those cases, candidates may be directed to apply through the relevant external platform or directly to GemSource Recruitment, depending on the mandate.
Any job information, article, link, or opportunity displayed on this website is provided for general informational purposes unless expressly stated otherwise.

4. No public employment marketplace
This website is not intended to operate as an electronic employment exchange, digital labour marketplace, or online application portal for general public use.
Any candidate details submitted through this website are reviewed internally by GemSource Recruitment and handled through an agency-led process.
Submission of an enquiry, resume, or registration form does not create a right to representation, placement, interview, shortlist, employment, contractor engagement, or ongoing consideration for roles.
GemSource Recruitment may decide, in its discretion and subject to law, whether a candidate profile is suitable for current or future opportunities.
5. Accuracy of information
GemSource Recruitment seeks to ensure website content is current, accurate, and useful. However, the website and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, GemSource Recruitment does not guarantee that:
- website content is complete, accurate, current, or free from error
- any role, insight, salary guidance, hiring trend, or market commentary remains available or up to date
- the website will be uninterrupted, secure, or free from defects, malware, or third-party interference
Information on this website is general in nature and does not constitute legal advice, workplace relations advice, migration advice, tax advice, financial advice, or any guarantee of recruitment outcomes.

7. Privacy, consent, and collection notice
GemSource Recruitment may collect personal information through contact forms, candidate enquiries, referral communications, direct sourcing activity, email correspondence, telephone discussions, and other recruitment-related interactions.
Personal information may include a person's name, contact details, resume information, employment history, qualifications, referee details, compensation information, right-to-work information, and other information reasonably necessary for recruitment or business development purposes.
GemSource Recruitment handles personal information in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable privacy law obligations.

- share a candidate profile with a client only with the candidate's consent or where otherwise permitted by law
Where sensitive information is involved, GemSource Recruitment will seek consent where required by law and will only collect what is reasonably necessary for its functions.
A person may choose not to provide requested information, but this may limit GemSource Recruitment's ability to respond to an enquiry, assess suitability, progress a recruitment process, or provide services.
