Searching for Job Ads on Biostaffic is free for Candidates. Biostaffic displays Job Ads based on a combination of compensation paid by employers to Biostaffic and relevance, such as search terms, and other information provided and activities conducted on Biostaffic. While Biostaffic may in some circumstances be compensated by employers who post Job Ads, helping keep Biostaffic job search free for Candidates, all Job Ads are considered advertising.
Job Ads are created and provided by third parties over whom Biostaffic exercises no control; you acknowledge and understand that Biostaffic has no control over the content of Job Ads, links to or from Job Ads, or any conditions third parties might impose once a Candidate has submitted an application or left the Site. You accept any terms and conditions imposed by that third-party. Except for sponsored, featured or paid placements, the Job Ads contained on, or linked from, the Site are indexed or posted in an automated manner. Biostaffic has no obligation to screen any Job Ads, or to include any Job Ads, in its search results or other listings, and may exclude or remove any Job Ads from the Site or your search result without any obligation to provide reasoning for removal or exclusion. You understand and agree that Biostaffic has no obligation to present you with any or all Job Ads. We cannot confirm the accuracy or completeness of any Job Ad or other information submitted by any Employer or other user, including the identity of such Employer or other user. Biostaffic assumes no responsibility, and disclaims all liability for the content, accuracy, completeness, legality, reliability, or availability of any Job Ads, or other information submitted by any Employer or other user.
Biostaffic may provide independent functionality to assist you. For example, Biostaffic may provide search options to help you narrow down Job Ads search results by job type categories (i.e. full-time, part-time, etc.), and such categories are created independently and entirely by Biostaffic, and may not directly or accurately reflect the content of the Job Ads.
5.2. Resume and Profile
By creating a resume through the Site (“Biostaffic Resume”) or uploading a file resume on the Site (collectively, “Your Resume” or “Candidate Resume”), you are requesting and authorizing Biostaffic to make available Your Resume to anyone accessing our Site, such as Employers that Biostaffic believes may have an interest in Your Resume. You are responsible for keeping Your Resume accurate and up-to-date.
If you have an Biostaffic account, an Biostaffic Resume, or an uploaded file resume, you agree that Biostaffic may associate Your Resume data with your profile on Biostaffic (“Biostaffic Profile”).

This includes your Biostaffic Resume, and any information that you choose to include, such as your desired job title, job types, work schedule, whether you are ready to work, or pay. Information in your Biostaffic Profile, except as otherwise indicated on the Site, may be available to third parties, such as Employers. If you do not want Biostaffic to make your Biostaffic Profile available to third parties or if you do not want Employers to contact you, remove Your Resume.

Biostaffic makes no promise to you about whether all or part of your contact info will be masked or hidden, and the decision to mask or hide such info is in Biostaffic’s sole discretion.

If you want to request the Employer delete, modify, or maintain confidence over any such information, you must make such a request directly to the Employer. Unsubscribing from calls from Employers through Biostaffic does not apply to interviews you have already scheduled. If you require alternative methods for applying, you must approach the Employer directly to request such alternative method, as Biostaffic is not responsible for the Employer application process.

Additionally, you consent to your application and any responses sent to you by the Employer (including offer letters) through Biostaffic being processed and analyzed by Biostaffic according to this Agreement and Biostaffic’s Privacy Policy.
You acknowledge and agree that Employers may request that Biostaffic assemble your application materials, resume, and other information you provide to Biostaffic into one document, and you agree that in doing so, Biostaffic assembles these application materials on your behalf.
Please note that Job Ads may expire between the time you submit your application and from the time it is received.

Employers are responsible for offering alternative methods of screening, if so required by the Americans with Disabilities Act or any similar law. You must contact the Employer if you require alternative methods of screening.

To generate matches, Biostaffic uses data collected through our Site from both Employers and Candidates. This includes Job Ads, Your Resume, your application materials, Biostaffic Assessments, and your activity on Biostaffic. You agree and consent that Biostaffic may use this information to present potential matches to you and to potential Employers.

In all cases, such messages or notifications are provided solely as a courtesy, and you should not rely on them. For example, if you accept an interview request, it is your responsibility to follow up with the employer separately to ensure they know your response, do not rely on notifications through Biostaffic. Biostaffic disclaims all warranties with regards to the transmission or storage of such courtesy notices, does not guarantee their delivery or receipt, and does not guarantee the date or time at which they may be sent. In the event a message being sent is intended for a closed account, these messages will not be deliverable.

6.1. Employer Accounts
When you access or use the Site in your capacity as an employee or other representative of an Employer, or if you create an Biostaffic account on behalf of an Employer, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind the Employer to this Agreement. When you create an account on behalf of an Employer, the account belongs to the Employer, and you acknowledge that any and all information that you provide Biostaffic through the account, such as the actions you take and when you take them, will be visible to the Employer.
As an Employer, your account is for business use and not for personal use. Biostaffic is not responsible for and disclaims all liability if your email is used improperly or falsely by a third party. By registering for an Biostaffic account, you agree to receive mandatory email updates regarding account activity to your Biostaffic account. If you attempt to send an email from a name or email address that is not true, accurate, current or complete, we reserve the right to drop such email, and attempting to send such email is a violation of our terms. Employers may request that Biostaffic disable an account at any time by contacting us. Please note that Biostaffic may be required to preserve business records pertaining to that account to comply with its obligations under law. Alternatively, if an Employer agent wishes to access or delete their Personal Data held by Biostaffic, they should follow the steps listed in our privacy policy.
If your Biostaffic employer account has a credit card on file to pay for one Biostaffic product or service, Biostaffic may charge that card for any additional products or services you order. You agree that Biostaffic may send notices to Candidates informing them that an Employer account has been compromised, including if such account is associated with you. Biostaffic cannot and does not guarantee that such notices will always be sent or received, and you therefore agree that Biostaffic bears no responsibility for doing so. Biostaffic makes no warranty regarding, and disclaims any liability for, the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of such notices.
Biostaffic may offer suggestions, recommendations, or information to users that may support or improve their experience on Biostaffic Sites. You understand that these offerings are provided as a courtesy and without warranty, and your use of such information is at your sole discretion. As an Employer, you are responsible for your use of the Site and any tools offered therein, including your decisions regarding your job description, the requirements for your job, compliance with applicable laws, including relevant federal, state, and local laws related to job postings, and whom you interview or hire. Biostaffic assumes no responsibility and disclaims all liability for any actions you take based on any information provided by Biostaffic. Biostaffic may limit your ability to post a job, or the visibility of your job, if it does not appear to indicate a salary above minimum wage, wage transparency laws, or does not comply with other applicable law; however Biostaffic is not responsible for, and you are solely responsible for, compliance with minimum wage and other legal requirements.
6.2. Employer Services
You are responsible for the contents of your emails, application form, questions or their format, criteria you set for inviting candidates to interview, Company Pages that you create, update, or manage any Job Listings that you post, and any messages that you send through our platform or otherwise, and agree that Biostaffic is not responsible for such content and disclaims all liability for such content, including as to whether such content is legal. You agree that you are solely responsible for compliance with applicable law for all content on the Site, including minimum wage requirements, wage transparency laws, or any other law. If you close or change any Job Listings that you post, you agree to promptly update such Job Listings on Biostaffic or otherwise notify Biostaffic. Biostaffic may provide you with a mechanism for responding to requests for accommodations from Candidates. You are responsible for ensuring that your selection criteria are job-related, that you do not pose “disability-related inquiries” or medical inquiries in violation of the law, and that you do not screen out people with disabilities or members of any protected category under the law. You further acknowledge that you are responsible for offering alternative methods of screening, if so required by the Americans with Disabilities Act or any similar law. You are responsible for clearly indicating that reasonable accommodations are available, engaging with and responding to any requests for accommodation, and providing information about how to request an accommodation to Candidates.
You agree that Biostaffic may reject or remove any Job Listing or any questions for Candidates for any or no reason. For example, Biostaffic may remove any Job Listing or question that directly or indirectly discriminates against Candidates. Direct discrimination means, for example, that a Job Listing or question specifically makes clear that only Candidates matching certain criteria are wanted, thereby excluding others because of, for example, their gender, race, age or disability. Indirect discrimination means, for example, that a Job Listing or question implicitly excludes certain classes of Candidates by making it impossible for them to qualify for the job requirements. You understand and agree that it is your responsibility to refrain from posting any Job Listing or question that directly or indirectly discriminates against Candidates or otherwise violates applicable law. Biostaffic further does not guarantee delivery, your receipt of the Candidate’s emails or application materials, or that there will be no mistakes in the transmission or storage of the data. You are solely responsible for checking your Employer dashboard to view job applications and other information. Any notifications, such as emails, you may receive about applications or other activities, are provided solely as a courtesy to you and you should not rely on them.
You agree that Biostaffic may take action to try to identify and reduce spam applications, including by imposing a cover letter requirement for applicants. Biostaffic does not verify the identity of any Candidates who apply to your job listing, nor does Biostaffic know a Candidate’s motivation for applying to your job listing, and thus provides no guarantee as to the Candidate’s qualifications or interest in your job listing. You agree that Biostaffic’s relay functions are presented to you without warranty and Biostaffic assumes no responsibility for the communications between you and the Candidate, which communications are your and the Candidates’ sole responsibility.
You shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Biostaffic, its agents, affiliates, and licensors from any third-party claim or liability (including without limitation reasonable legal fees) arising out of any Company Page created or claimed by you, or any Job Listing or screener questions (or answers thereto) posted by you, or any message sent by you. Biostaffic may make Job Ad analytics data available on a Company Page or elsewhere on the Site, and may provide analytics data regarding your Employer account to anyone at your company at Biostaffic’s discretion. To the extent permitted by law, if you have an unpaid or outstanding invoice or account balance for any Biostaffic product, Biostaffic reserves the right to suspend or terminate your use of that Biostaffic product as well as any other Biostaffic product as set out in the IO for that product, including but not limited to those Biostaffic products where you do not have an unpaid invoice or account balance. Biostaffic may elect to apply (i) penalties for late payment as per the maximum interest permitted by law and (ii) any reasonable expenses and attorney fees Biostaffic incurs collecting such late payments.
When you view, send, take action on, make a decision regarding, store, or receive materials (including Job Listings, resumes, applications, pre-recorded interviews, and messages) through or using the Site, Biostaffic may, for any purpose, use any data of such materials or action for data analysis, quality control, or to refine the Site or any other Biostaffic product or service (including to provide better search results and other Job Listings for Candidates and Employers), whether via automated means or otherwise. Biostaffic may also inform the Candidate of your actions or activity related to such materials through or using the Site. For example, Biostaffic may notify the Candidate about your activity or action related to a Job Ad (such as pausing or closing it), or Candidate’s application or Resume (for example, that you viewed or responded to it, or that you made a decision with respect to it). and you hereby consent to Biostaffic informing the Candidate about such actions and activities. You acknowledge that as part of its efforts to combat fraud and spam, Biostaffic may require that users verify their email address, including Candidates applying to your job. However, email verification is not guaranteed. You are responsible for your use of any software that rejects applications from unverified email addresses.
You further acknowledge that compliance with any governmental record-keeping requirements, such as the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs’ (OFCCP) internet applicant record-keeping rule, is your sole responsibility.
6.3. Job Match
Job matches are recommendations which may be presented to both you as an Employer and to Candidates in various formats on the Site. For example, Biostaffic may recommend Resumes which match Job Ads you have posted, or recommend Job Ads to Candidates which are similar to jobs to which they have recently applied. To generate matches, Biostaffic uses data collected through our Site from both Employers and Candidates. This includes Job Ads, Resume, application materials (including responses to screener questions), Biostaffic Assessments, and user activity on Biostaffic (such as searches run and Job Ads clicked on and applied to). You agree and consent that Biostaffic may use this information to present potential matches to you and to potential Candidates.
6.4. Salary or Other Information Provided by Biostaffic
Biostaffic may provide some information and content to users for informational purposes only. For example, Biostaffic may provide Candidates with data regarding estimated salaries for a given Job Listing, number of applies to a Job Listing, responses to certain screener questions for a Job listing, or provide you with estimated applies to your Job Listing. All such figures provided by Biostaffic are estimates given for informational purposes only, may come from a third party, and they are subject to change or varying levels of accuracy. If you are participating in the Biostaffic Ads Program and your Sponsored Job advertising budget is set on a per-apply basis, you will be charged based on Biostaffic’s determination of Apply count as reflected in your employer dashboard and not based on the number of applies that may be provided to Candidates for informational purposes only. Biostaffic may add labels or badges to Job Ads – such as pay types, specialties, benefits, or union associations – based on data contained within the job description. These are for informational purposes only and Biostaffic does not guarantee the accuracy of any label or badge. Biostaffic may also include salary estimations on pages other than Job Listings on the Site.
Please note that all salary figures are approximations based upon multiple third party submissions to Biostaffic, including from Biostaffic affiliates. These figures are given to Biostaffic users for the purpose of generalized comparison only. Biostaffic may also provide data regarding impressions in relation to your Job Ad. Such figures are provided for informational purposes only, are subject to change at any time, and Biostaffic does not guarantee their accuracy. Biostaffic reserves the right to change the method of measuring such figures at any time.
Biostaffic may offer job post templates for informational purposes only. By using any of this content, you adopt it as your own and are responsible for making it true, appropriate and compliant with all applicable laws. All content provided by Biostaffic, including template job post information and estimated applications for a given job posting, is for informational purposes only, may comprise or be based on information provided by third parties, is provided without warranty, and is subject to change and varying levels of accuracy. Estimated applications are not a guarantee of future performance.
6.5. Communication through Biostaffic
You may receive messages, emails or email notifications corresponding with your or a Candidate’s activity on or use of the Site, Biostaffic Chat, or any other communications service, product, or feature provided on or through the Site. In all cases, such messages or notifications are provided solely as a courtesy, and you should not rely on them. For example, if you wish to interview a Candidate, it is your responsibility to follow up with the Candidate separately to ensure they know about the interview, do not rely on notifications through Biostaffic. Biostaffic disclaims all warranties with regards to the transmission or storage of such courtesy notices, does not guarantee their delivery or receipt, and does not guarantee the date or time at which they may be sent. In the event a message being sent is intended for a closed account, these messages will not be deliverable.
Biostaffic may mask or hide contact information, such as phone numbers and email addresses, and substitute it with an alias. For example, Biostaffic may mask Candidate contact information from resumes or applications. Biostaffic may also mask your email address or phone number, and Candidates may see an alias email address or phone number when they communicate with you. You agree to a Candidate contacting you from a masked phone number or email. If you contact a Candidate from a masked phone number and you do not leave your contact information, after the masked number expires, the Candidate may not be able to contact you by phone unless you have provided your actual contact information to them. Once a Candidate has your contact info, you agree that Biostaffic is not responsible or liable for the manner in which they may use the info. If you, or anyone on your behalf, send or receive communication on or through the Site (including by sending or receiving communication to/from an email address aliased by Biostaffic and/or by using a different email address from the one associated with your account), you agree to the communication being processed, analyzed, reviewed, and stored, including via automated means, for data analysis, quality control, enforcement of the Sites’ rules and other Biostaffic policies, content moderation, and to improve the Site or any other Biostaffic product or service.
