Legal · Draft for review

Community Guidelines

What we expect from employers and jobseekers so the network stays trustworthy.

This document is a starting draft prepared for the Populus platform. It requires review by qualified legal counsel in each jurisdiction before public launch. It is not legal advice and does not by itself establish compliance with any law.

Last drafted: 26 October 2026

Genuine opportunities only

Every vacancy must describe a real role with a real employer. Recruiters may post on behalf of a named organisation only where they are authorised to do so.

Listings that request payment, equipment purchases or personal financial details from candidates are prohibited.

Honest representation

Company profiles must describe the organisation accurately, including its legal name, industry and operating locations.

Salary information, workplace arrangement and remote scope must reflect the actual role.

Respectful conduct

Harassment, discriminatory language, and requests for protected personal information unrelated to the role are not permitted in listings, messages or screening questions.

Enforcement

Reports are reviewed by moderators. Outcomes may include a warning, listing removal, employer suspension or account termination, with reasons recorded in the platform audit trail.
