These are the Work Seeker Terms and Conditions which apply between Spinnaker Global Ltd / Spinnaker Global (Singapore) Pte Ltd (together “Spinnaker”) and work seekers (“you”) making use of our services.

We are governed by the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003 (EAA) in the UK and by similar legislation in other jurisdictions and also by data protection regulations in various jurisdictions, including the General Data Protection Regulations relating to the use of personal data.

These terms and conditions should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy. Please make sure you are aware of “The information we collect” and “What we use it for”.

1. We will provide you with work finding services as defined in the EAA. We will not charge you any fees for work finding services. We are engaged by employer clients to fill vacancies and are paid by them. The work finding services we provide are:
   1. finding / seeking to find you work as explained below;
   2. the provision of vacancy & other information on spinnaker-global.com and any other website or media Spinnaker may use;
   3. the provision of vacancy & other information via email and other notifications;
   4. the provision of vacancy & other information via our newsletter.
2. We operate as an ’employment agency’ in respect of finding you or seeking to find you permanent or temporary employment within the markets in which Spinnaker operate.
3. We are required by law to obtain confirmation of your identity, that you are legally entitled and willing to work in the location and position which the hiring company is seeking to fill and that you have the experience, training, qualifications and any authorisations which the hiring company considers necessary or are required by law or by any professional body. You agree to provide the necessary information and documentation to us.
4. You may at any time specify the basis upon which you wish to remain registered with us as a work seeker. For instance, you may specify for how long we are to retain your personal data, for which vacancy types we may approach you, which locations you are interested in and so on. If you apply for a specific vacancy but do not wish to be contacted about future vacancies, you may instruct us accordingly.
5. We will only ever send clients your CV, or other information identifying the fact that you are a work seeker registered with us, with your express permission.
6. We will write to you to confirm any verbal authorisation you give us to submit you to clients. You agree to use your best endeavours to reply promptly with your confirmation or any amendments to the authority you have given us. However, you also agree that unless you reply to cancel the authorisation before your candidature has been submitted to the employer client, we may proceed on your verbal instructions.
7. We will also ask you to inform us whether or not you have previously applied, either directly or via a third party, to the employer concerned whether for the specific vacancy that we may be discussing with you or for any other vacancy or speculatively. You agree to do so and also to confirm that there is no ongoing recruitment dialogue between you and that client or, if there is, specifically what it relates to.
8. You agree that by authorising us to submit you to an employer client, you have either not authorised any other third party to do so or are thereby terminating their authority and exclusively authorising us to do so. In any event, by authorising us to submit you to a client, you are confirming that the authority you give us does not conflict with any authority you may have given to a third party.
9. You agree that having given us authority to submit you to an employer client, you will not make a further application for the same vacancy, either directly or via any other intermediary, or, if a speculative submission, that you will not apply to that client at all within 12 months without first terminating in writing the authority you have given us.
10. After we have identified you to and / or submitted you to an employer client, the client is bound by their contractual relationship with us not to make direct contact with you and not to send your CV or any other identifying information to third parties, including their associated companies. If you become aware that either of these things has happened, you agree to inform us as soon as you become aware and to inform the client and any third party that you have already authorised Spinnaker to submit your CV and that our relationship is governed by these work seeker terms and conditions.
11. We may from time to time utilise the services of a third party company to check publicly available information to ascertain whether candidates we have submitted to employer clients have, without our knowledge, been hired by those clients. We provide such third parties only with the minimum necessary information to facilitate those checks.
12. If we find you work, you agree that you will carefully check your employment contract and any offer letter received from your new employer and that the terms and conditions contained in those documents will constitute your terms of employment. You agree that these documents take precedence over other communications regarding your offer of employment and that it is your responsibility to raise any discrepancies with the employer before accepting your contract / offer letter.
13. Use of your work email address – If you register with us using a non-private or corporate email address, please ensure that it is secure (i.e. you know who is able to view your inbox). We cannot accept responsibility if your emails are read by others with access to your inbox. If your email address is not secure, we recommend that you obtain a private email address.
14. We reserve the right not to register you on our database and to delete your personal data if in our opinion your experience and qualifications are not relevant for the types of vacancies which our clients ask us to fill.
15. We will remove from our database any data which includes content that we consider or is proven to be illegal or offensive or factually incorrect. We will also remove you from our database if you use rude or inappropriate behaviour towards any member of our staff.
16. These work seeker terms and conditions are governed by English law and the English courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute or disagreement between you and us.
