Employer terms

Last updated 26 October 2026

These terms apply to companies that register to post jobs on A New Job. They are an agreement between A New Job (“we”) and the company you register (“you”). The person registering confirms they are authorised to accept them for the company. Our general terms of use also apply.

1. Your account

• We review new companies before approving them and may refuse or suspend an account, for example if we can’t confirm the company is genuine.
• The account owner manages the company’s users and is responsible for what they do on the site. Remove people who leave.

2. Job adverts

Every job you post must:

• be a genuine, current vacancy that you are recruiting for;
• describe the job, its location and pay accurately, and not mislead applicants;
• comply with the law, including the Equality Act 2010 (no discriminatory wording or requirements) and the National Minimum Wage;
• if you are an employment agency or business, comply with the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003;
• never ask applicants to pay a fee.

We may edit the format of, decline or remove any advert. Adverts are shown for 30 days unless you renew them.

3. Price

Posting jobs, including Premium jobs, is currently free. If we introduce charges, we will tell you in advance, and nothing you have already posted will be charged without your agreement.

4. Your logo and content

You confirm you have the right to use the logo and content you upload, and you let us display them on the site and in job alert emails for as long as they are on your account.

5. Data processing terms

These terms cover the personal data of people who apply for your jobs (their name, email address, phone number and CV). They are the contract required by Article 28 of the UK GDPR.

Roles

• You are the controller of applications made to your jobs. We are your processor.
• Once you download a CV, you are responsible for your copy and how you store and use it.
• We are the controller of our CV database. If we offer you access to it, you may use what you find only to contact people about genuine jobs, and you become controller of any data you take from it.

What we do with applications

We receive applications through the site, store them securely, show them to your company’s users, email you when a new one arrives and delete them on schedule. These terms and your use of the site are your instructions to us. We process applications only on those instructions, unless the law requires otherwise (in which case we will tell you, if the law allows).

Our commitments

• Anyone at A New Job who can access applications is bound by confidentiality.
• We protect applications with appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encrypted connections, private file storage, access limited to your company’s users, and records of CV downloads.
• We use the service providers listed in our privacy policy as sub-processors, under contracts with equivalent data protection terms. You authorise them generally; we will update the privacy policy before adding or replacing one, and you may object by contacting us. We remain responsible for our sub-processors.
• Where data is accessed from outside the UK, we make sure the transfer is protected as the UK GDPR requires.
• We will help you respond to applicants exercising their rights, and pass on any request we receive about your applications.
• We will tell you without undue delay after becoming aware of a personal data breach affecting your applications, and help you with your own obligations, including any security assessments.
• Applications are deleted 12 months after they are made, unless you or the applicant choose to keep them longer (we email you a month before). You can delete an application at any time. When your company account is deleted, its applications are deleted too.
• We will give you the information you reasonably need to show these terms are being met.

Your commitments

• Use applications only to recruit for the job applied for (or, if the applicant agrees, similar roles), and give applicants any information the law requires about how you use their data.
• Keep downloaded CVs secure, share them only with people involved in recruiting, and delete them when you no longer need them.
• Don’t add applicants to marketing lists.

6. Liability

• We provide the site “as is”. We don’t guarantee how many people will see or apply for your jobs, or the suitability of any applicant.
• We are not liable for indirect losses or for loss of profit, business or opportunity.
• Our total liability to you in any year is limited to the greater of £100 and the amount you paid us in the previous 12 months.
• Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or either party’s responsibilities under data protection law.
• You are responsible for your adverts and your recruitment decisions, and will cover our reasonable costs if a claim is made against us because of an advert you posted that breaks these terms.

7. Ending

You can stop using the site and delete your company account at any time from Account settings. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, or with reasonable notice for any other reason. Sections 5 and 6 continue to apply to anything that happened before.

8. Changes and law

We may update these terms and will email account owners about significant changes before they apply. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and its courts have exclusive jurisdiction.
