Job Center of Wisconsin Terms of Use

Terms of Use for Employers

This Terms of Use Statement governs the way the Job Center of Wisconsin (JCW) collects, holds and uses data that you may submit. Please be sure to read this entire Statement before using or submitting information. The JCW takes every precaution to protect the information of a user. When a user submits sensitive information via the website, the information is protected both on-line and off-line.

You agree to exercise caution when using and downloading (or uploading) any content or materials from this website and to use industry-recognized software to detect and remove viruses. You understand and agree that any material and/or data downloaded or otherwise obtained through the use of this website is done at your own discretion and risk and that you will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that results from the download of such material and/or data. Any content you download is provided "AS IS" and DWD disclaims any and all liability for such content. DWD does not provide technical support for any materials posted on or downloaded from the file exchange sections of this website.

Safeguards for Employers:

Validation: All employers must sign up to use the system and must be validated by agency staff before any personal contact information contained on a résumé is available to them. In addition, jobseekers cannot view any of your job orders until your account is validated.
User ID and Password: An employer establishes a unique User ID and Password when signing up. This User ID and Password is required for all future access to the system.
Access: Employers control how job seekers contact them from the job posting. Employer contact information provided for validation will not be released. No employer information will be sold for any purpose.

Employer Responsibilities

Employers must agree to follow the established criteria for use of the system with their sign up. Violations of these policies will result in the loss of access privileges:

Fees: Neither you nor your agents may charge a fee to provide a job seeker with access to a job referral or as a condition of accepting a job. Individuals have been asked to report any violations of this policy.
Labor Disputes: Neither you nor your agents may use the service to recruit replacement workers in a labor dispute, either through job postings or résumé searches. Individuals have been asked to report any violations of this policy.
Résumé Use: Neither you nor your agents may use résumés from this site (whether received by searching or from the job seeker responding to your job posting) for any purpose other than to fill an immediate job opening. You may not resell or repost résumés found on this site, whether in whole or in part. The résumé is the property of the job seeker and such resale or reposting violates their privacy rights. Individuals have been asked to report any violations of this policy.
Jobs Posted: Jobs posted on the website must be for an immediate opening. Business opportunities are not considered immediate openings. Individuals have been asked to report any violations of this policy.
Monetary Investments: Neither you nor your agents may require a significant monetary investment by the job seeker in order to obtain employment. Usual and customary licensing fees or certifications are acceptable. Application fees, purchasing kits, and work-from-home plans are not acceptable. Individuals have been asked to report any violations of this policy.
Removal: We reserve the right to remove any job posting from the file if it contains inaccurate or inappropriate information.
Posting of Material: Employers are prohibited from posting or transmitting any material that is obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, profane, unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, or otherwise inappropriate. The Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD) will cooperate fully with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.

Modifications

The State of Wisconsin reserves the right to modify or amend this Statement at any time.

Reporting: Job seekers are asked to assist us in maintaining the proper use of the system by reporting employers who do not follow the rules they have agreed to as stated above.
Personal information that you share: JCW enables you to upload resume content and share it with other users or employers. The content that you upload, including translations, may be accessible to other users on JCW, if you choose to classify that content as 'shared'. You must exercise caution and common sense when uploading your content, especially any personally identifiable information. At the very least you should demonstrate the same degree of caution as when publishing your content by any means other than the Internet.

At any time, you will be able to edit your profile information and erase any content you uploaded to JCW. However, you will not be able to erase content that has already been copied or downloaded by someone else.
