These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are meant to give you an understanding of the expectations and practices related to how RecMan is to be used, and will govern your relationship with us, the RecMan as an IT solution (“RecMan”) we provide, and how you are permitted to use our services. Note that this is a general overview, and the agreements you may have with us or our clients could override some of the content of these Terms.

Your access to use any services embedded in RecMan is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. If you are not in agreement with, or otherwise not able to uphold any of the terms and conditions, we advise you to stop using any of the services related to RecMan.

As described in the Overview, RecMan as a whole is remains in a vast with a complex environment. We highly recommend that you read the Overview before moving forward with the content of these Terms.

What we are and what we do

We provide a wide range of services with RecMan at its core for organizations and individuals all over the world to smile at and appreciate the IT solution on their screen, either it is for managers to grow their business; organizations to administer their resources efficiently; employees or co-workers to have an easier and productive day-to-day; candidates to manage their profile with simplicity; companies who believe in their suppliers; or industries in general to flourish - we are here to make it happen.

On the never ending journey to provide everyone with a user friendly and user centered solution, RecMan as a whole is designed and built to last and adapt, with you in its focus. RecMan may show presence in different ways, and we want you to know in which instance RecMan is presented to you, and how this may relate to these Terms.

RecMan’s many faces

We have full ownership of RecMan, where we are the ones who develop, maintain, provide, and support it. However, our clients license a personal a personal and isolated entity with private entry, thus gaining access to all or some of the other commercial and supporting services and features we provide. This in itself may be confusing to some, and the following is intended to clarify.

1. Our own

   Our face is the one of our organization and its brand - RecMan. This website will consist of everything you will need to know about us, our services, and RecMan altogether. The RecMan logo, and the RecMan brand is there to inform you that we are the ones responsible for the instance you are observing on your computer, TV, tablet, or phone. We have no intention of hiding in the shadows, and are proud to show our presence. We also have a page on both Facebook and LinkedIn if you are interested in learning more.

   We utilize RecMan to conduct our daily business, and from time to time, we publish job posts and perform recruitments of our own. This may be visible on our career page , which is the page for our organization’s RecMan entity.

   The user agreements or terms and conditions for our website, career page, and other sites or media may be separate due to these sites being intended for different purposes and therefore contain various terms of use.

2. Our client

   Any client of ours will have access to their own organization’s RecMan where they “paint” this entity with one or more brands. One single entity could to the external eye be interpreted as different entities. For example, if a parent company operates in the two industries of marketing and consultancy, they may want to segregate it in two departments or legal companies. With RecMan, two brands for the services they provide could be present, and their customers, candidates, applicants, and others may interpret these brands as having no connection to each other. Both of these are administered by the parent company within one RecMan entity, but as each brand is intended for separate purposes, the privacy policy, terms and conditions, and cookie notice may vary between them for their websites, pages, and services.

   We highly recommend that you as a data subject read the policies, terms, and conditions for any service you may encounter, as these are the ones applicable to the service you are about to make use of.

3. Our services

   RecMan is used all over the world, and in countless industries. Even though you have never worked in an organization that utilizes RecMan, or been a candidate that has registered a profile on a career page, you may still come across services that are directly or indirectly connected to RecMan. If one of our clients provides you with their services or products, you could receive candidate presentations, contracts or agreements, forms, and other services available from RecMan. These may be branded with different logos and information about our client, but you will be able to see that the service is provided by a RecMan entity through the URL in which it is presented. The word “recman” or our logo will be visible in the link where the web-based service is accessed.

   It is necessary for you to know that the services our client may be applying with the use of RecMan is done at their own will and practices with probability of it not being in any relation to these Terms.
