Use of the Site
The Sky Jobs website, mobile application and social media platforms (“Platforms”) offer services and information to jobseekers looking for employment as well as career advice. Sky Jobs offers services to employers to market open positions to jobseekers and to find suitable candidates by searching the Sky Jobs CV Database.
By signing up with Sky Jobs you are required to create a profile in order to apply for advertised jobs. It is your responsibility to ensure that your profile is accurate and up to date and that you do not misrepresent yourself, either through false information on your profile or through omission. Sky Jobs is not responsible for the accuracy of your profile or any vacancies posted on our Platforms.
When you create a profile with Sky Jobs you will be added to our CV Database for the purpose of employers “headhunting” you for suitable roles. Your profile consists of the information you provide us, documents such as your CV that you submit, your last activity date and application history available to employers whose roles you have applied for. We may enhance your Profile by using publicly available data obtained from third parties. Such additional information may include links to any social media sites used by us in enhancing the Profile. In such circumstances, we do not vet or verify the accuracy, correctness and completeness of such data used to enhance the Profile and no guarantee is given that any enhancements to the Profile will be error free or ultimately achieve any enhancement to the Profile and it is your responsibility to verify the accuracy of such information.
You will automatically be visible in the CV Database to employers who subscribe to our service. You can choose to either hide your profile from the CV Database from all employers or only be visible for recruitment agencies acting on behalf of employers. You can also elect not to be visible at all in the CV Database. You can change your visibility settings in the profile management section.
When you choose to create a profile with Sky Jobs we will keep your CV and profile on record until you request that we delete your profile from the CV Database.
When you create a profile with Sky Jobs we will send you emails of new jobs that match your profile so that you can be informed of new opportunities. You can unsubscribe from these alerts based on your profile in the profile management section.
When you apply for a job advertised on our Platforms, you give Sky Jobs permission to transfer your profile information to the employer or agency advertising the role.
Sky Jobs does not guarantee the accuracy or availability of a job advertised on our Platforms, and while we make reasonable efforts to vet adverts placed on the site, we cannot guarantee that every job represents an actual job vacancy. Sky Jobs does not guarantee that when applying for a vacancy you will be considered for the role. It is the discretion of the employer advertising the vacancy which applicants will be considered.
By using our Platforms you agree that we may use your information for statistical reporting, including industry trends reports in an anonymised and aggregated format.
You acknowledge and agree that the Platforms are solely intended for vacancies that are marketed to jobseekers based in the Republic of Botswana and that the Platforms are not compliant with data privacy laws, other than those applicable to the Republic of Botswana
