How we treat each other here

To maintain trust across the Caribbean professional community, all users must act honestly and professionally.

• Job Seekers: Only list skills, experience, and credentials you actually possess. Misrepresentation harms the reputation of the entire Caribbean talent pool.
• Employers: Provide accurate job descriptions and be transparent about salary ranges and job requirements (our Salary Intelligence works best when data is honest).

We manually verify every listing. If you encounter any of the following, report it immediately:

• Requests for “payment” to apply or for “training materials.”
• Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) schemes.
• “Check cashing” or “reshipping” scams disguised as remote work.

• Treat others with respect in the messaging system.
• Discrimination based on island of origin, gender, religion, or any other protected status is strictly prohibited and may result in an immediate ban.

When using our helpdesk bot or Smart Match tools:

• Use clear, professional language for the best results.
• Do not attempt to “jailbreak” our AI systems or provide sensitive personal data that is not required for your profile.

Applies to all accounts on the Agency plan (paid) and to any Agency free-trial account. These rules exist so Caribbean job seekers keep trusting the platform — a reputation you benefit from every time you post.

• Never charge candidates.Any fee to a job seeker at any point — application, training, verification, background check, equipment, “administrative” fee, anything — is an immediate permanent ban with no refund. Placement fees flow from your hiring client to you, never from the candidate.
• Only post real, funded roles.Every vacancy must correspond to an actual authorized opening at an actual client. No pipeline-building posts. No “always hiring” roles that don’t exist. No misrepresenting salary, seniority, work location, or employment type.
• Acknowledge candidates within 5 business days. Silence is the single most-common complaint against Caribbean recruiters and we intend to enforce against it. A short “received, we’ll be in touch” counts.
• Fair-use rate limits. Paid Agency accounts get 100 vacancy posts / day, 200 unique candidate contacts / day, and 500 outbound-apply redirects / day. Trial accounts get tighter caps disclosed at trial start. Sustained bursts above these throttle for 24 hours.
• No scraping.Don’t build a database out of SmartJobLinks candidate profiles, employer contact info, or job listings. Your own data — clients, placements, pipeline — is yours to export freely through the account settings.
• We verify. The name, address, LinkedIn, and references you provide at account activation must stay accurate. We may verify at any time. Material misrepresentation ends the account.

The formal contract language sits in Section 17 of our Terms of Service. These plain-language rules and that Section say the same thing; the Terms control for enforcement and refunds.

We connect the Caribbean to global opportunities. Represent the region with the excellence it’s known for.
