Terms of Service
The rules that govern use of the Populus employment network by jobseekers, employers and visitors.
Last drafted: 26 October 2026
Using Populus
Populus is free to use for jobseekers and employers. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you publish and for keeping your account credentials secure.
Accounts may be suspended where they post fraudulent vacancies, misrepresent an organisation, harass other users, or attempt to access data they are not authorised to see.
Employer obligations
Employers must publish genuine vacancies for real roles, must be authorised to recruit on behalf of the organisation named, and must comply with employment law applicable where the role is performed.
Vacancies must not discriminate on protected characteristics, request payment from candidates, or misrepresent remuneration.
Jobseeker obligations
Jobseekers must provide truthful professional information and must not submit applications on behalf of another person.
Content and moderation
Populus reviews vacancies before publication and may reject, pause, close or remove any listing that breaches these terms. Decisions and reasons are recorded.
Liability
Populus is a marketplace. It is not the employer, does not guarantee hiring outcomes, and is not a party to any employment relationship formed through the platform.
Liability terms must be finalised by counsel for each operating jurisdiction before launch.
