Talentropy owns all intellectual property rights, including copyrights, in the Platform, Talentropy Apps, and services, including compilations of information available through the Platform. Unauthorized use, reproduction, or redistribution of any portion of the Platform or its content is strictly prohibited.
Talentropy reserves the right to reject, remove, or limit visibility of any content uploaded by users (“User Content”), and may disable accounts or restrict access to parts of the Platform at its discretion, with or without notice. While Talentropy may provide reasons for removing content or disabling accounts, it is not obligated to disclose all reasons for such actions. This right will be exercised to protect the interests of Talentropy or its users.
These Terms may be modified from time to time. Talentropy will notify you of changes by reasonable means, such as posting a revised version on the Platform. Changes will not apply retroactively to claims made before the effective date of the updated Terms. Your continued use of the Platform following any modifications constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

These changes are part of Talentropy’s ongoing commitment to improve and refine its services for the benefit of its users.
1. Eligibility
To use Talentropy, you must be at least 18 years old. By accessing our Platform, you confirm that you meet this age requirement. Employers using Talentropy must have the legal authority to engage in hiring activities and must comply with all applicable U.S. labor laws, including anti-discrimination and equal opportunity regulations. Talentropy reserves the right to restrict or terminate access if eligibility requirements are not met.
2. Use of the Platform
The Talentropy Platform provides an AI-powered recruitment tool designed to enhance the hiring process for employers and Job Seekers. Job Seekers can submit their CVs, receive job recommendations, and track their application status in a conversational and user-friendly manner. Employers can manage job postings, evaluate Job Seekers, and streamline their hiring processes through an intuitive dashboard.
Job Seekers are responsible for ensuring that all information provided is accurate, complete, and up-to-date. Employers must use the Platform solely for lawful recruitment purposes and agree to maintain confidentiality when handling candidate information. Any misuse of the Platform, including the submission of false information, spamming, or discriminatory practices, is strictly prohibited. Talentropy does not guarantee hiring outcomes or the accuracy of candidate profiles and serves as a facilitator rather than a direct participant in recruitment activities.
System Connectivity and Storage
When accessing the Site, you authorize Talentropy to connect with communication systems necessary for Site operation. Temporary or permanent storage may occur on your device. You can clear data stored on your device by managing your browser’s cookies and cache settings.
Updates and Testing
Talentropy continuously tests and improves the Site to enhance user experience. This may affect features like job recommendations, alerts, or application performance. By using the Site, you acknowledge that Talentropy may implement changes or tests without prior notice.
Suggestions and Recommendations
Talentropy may provide recommendations to improve your experience based on information from other users. These recommendations are offered without warranty, and any decisions you make based on them are at your own risk. Talentropy assumes no liability for any actions taken based on Site recommendations
3. Terms of Service for Job Seekers
For the purposes of this section, all references to “you” or “your” refer to the individual accessing Talentropy’s services as a Job Seeker. By using Talentropy’s services, you agree to these Terms of Service, as well as the general Terms applicable to all users. In the event of a conflict between the Terms of Service for Job Seekers and the general Terms, the provisions in this section will govern.
a. Job Seeker Experience
Talentropy provides a conversational and seamless experience for Job Seekers through its AI-powered chat interface. By accessing the Talentropy chat via a unique link provided by employers, you can interact with the platform to upload your resume, share your qualifications, receive job recommendations, and track the status of your applications. This chat-based process simplifies and streamlines your job search, allowing you to apply to positions through links shared on employer job postings or other channels.
You may use Talentropy solely for personal, non-commercial purposes to search for and apply to jobs. You agree to keep the information you provide through the chat accurate, complete, and up-to-date. Talentropy reserves the right to disable or remove your access if the information provided is false, misleading, or violates these Terms.
b. Login and Authentication for Job Seekers
Unlike traditional platforms that require permanent usernames and passwords, Talentropy offers a simplified authentication process for Job Seekers. Instead of creating a permanent account, candidates access the Talentropy chat via a unique link shared by employers or recruiters. This link serves as the “key” to authenticate the candidate and verify their identity.
The candidate authenticates using their email address or phone number, with SMS authentication. This one-time authentication ensures that the candidate is who they claim to be, but does not permanently associate the candidate with a username or password.
Important:
This streamlined, link-based authentication ensures a smooth, secure experience for candidates while safeguarding their personal information. Talentropy does not require or store permanent login credentials, enhancing user privacy while ensuring the integrity of the application process.
c. Job Seeker Responsibilities
By using Talentropy, you agree to the following:
If you require alternative methods of application or accommodation during the hiring process, you must contact the employer directly to make such arrangements. Talentropy is not responsible for the employer’s compliance with these requirements.
d. Profile and Resume Submission
When you submit your resume or share information through the Talentropy chat, you authorize Talentropy to create a Job Seeker Profile (“Your Profile”) using the details you provide. This Profile is made accessible to employers who generate the unique chat link and distribute it through various job posting channels.
When you submit a resume or application information via the Talentropy platform, including personal data and responses to screening questions or assessments (collectively referred to as “Talentropy Apply”), your actions are governed by these Terms of Service and Talentropy’s Privacy Policy. Any references to “Submit Application,” “Apply Now,” or similar terms on the platform correspond to the Talentropy Apply process. By using Talentropy Apply, you agree to abide by these Terms and are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of all information you submit.
Prior to submitting your application through Talentropy Apply, you will have the opportunity to review the information provided. It is your responsibility to ensure that the contents, including all attached files, are accurate, complete, and submitted to the correct employer. Once your information is shared with an employer (whether it includes your resume, application, responses, or other data), Talentropy cannot control how the employer uses, stores, or discloses that information. If you wish to delete or modify your information, you must contact the employer directly, as Talentropy is not responsible for managing employer-specific application processes.
By using Talentropy Apply, you authorize Talentropy to transmit your application materials to the employers associated with the job postings to which you apply. This transmission may involve automated processing to format, organize, or enhance your application materials for delivery to the employer. Talentropy works to ensure successful delivery but does not guarantee that applications or communications will be received, accessed, or acted upon by the employer. Factors such as technical errors, incorrect contact information provided by the employer, or third-party service malfunctions may affect the delivery process, for which Talentropy assumes no liability.
Employers using Talentropy may leverage third-party services, such as Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), to manage applications. By submitting your application, you acknowledge that these third-party systems may access and process your data. Talentropy is not responsible for technical malfunctions or errors related to third-party systems.
e. Job Recommendations and Feedback
Talentropy’s chat-based system may analyze your Profile and provide personalized job recommendations based on your qualifications. Talentropy may highlight skills or qualifications from job postings that align with or are missing from Your Profile. These recommendations and insights are intended solely as suggestions and do not guarantee job interviews, offers, or suitability for a role.
Additionally, Talentropy may offer automated feedback to help you refine your resume or Profile. For example, the system may suggest updates to improve compatibility with applicant tracking systems or highlight areas to enhance based on job requirements. This feedback is provided directly to you via the chat and is not shared with employers. You remain solely responsible for deciding which jobs to apply to and ensuring your resume accurately reflects your qualifications. Talentropy assumes no responsibility for actions taken based on the feedback provided.
f. Employer Job Postings and Expired Listings
Job postings on Talentropy may expire or be removed before an application is processed by the employer. If you submit an application to an expired or removed posting, it will be void. Talentropy assumes no responsibility for ensuring applications are delivered before a job posting is removed or expires.
Talentropy and its third-party service providers may store your application data even if the job listing is no longer available. The storage of your data is governed by our Privacy Policy and the terms applicable to third-party services used by employers.
g. Data Accuracy and Employer Discretion
You are solely responsible for ensuring that all information submitted through Talentropy is accurate, up-to-date, and free of sensitive personal data (e.g., Social Security numbers, medical information, or financial details). Employers are responsible for managing their job postings, screening processes, and compliance with applicable laws, including anti-discrimination laws, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and data protection regulations.
Talentropy does not guarantee that an employer will review or respond to your application. Employers have full discretion to evaluate and act on applications as they see fit. Talentropy also cannot guarantee the validity of job postings or offers, and Job Seekers are advised to independently verify the authenticity of any job opportunities before taking actions that may affect their current employment status.
h. Screening Questions, Assessments, and Employer Communication
Employers may include screening questions or assessments in their application process. Your responses to these questions may influence your application status. By submitting answers through Talentropy, you acknowledge that employers may use automated processes to send rejection notices based on your responses. Talentropy assumes no responsibility for these outcomes, as such processes are initiated and managed by employers.
Employers may also use Talentropy to schedule interviews with candidates who meet certain criteria. While Talentropy facilitates these communications, it does not guarantee the accuracy of interview scheduling or ensure that employers follow up with candidates. It is your responsibility to confirm interview details directly with the employer and to make necessary changes or cancellations if required.
i. Job Seeker Notifications and Updates
As a Job Seeker using Talentropy, you agree that Talentropy may use the contact information you provide to keep you informed about the status of your applications, interview appointments, reminders, and any other relevant changes in the selection process. This includes sending notifications through your preferred communication channels, such as email, SMS, or WhatsApp.
By submitting your application or engaging with the platform, you consent to receiving such notifications and updates regarding your job applications, interview schedules, and any other process-related alerts. You are responsible for ensuring that your contact information is accurate and up-to-date to receive these notifications. If you no longer wish to receive certain types of notifications, you may update by contacting Talentropy directly.
Please note that some notifications, such as interview reminders or application status updates, may be mandatory for the completion of your job application process. Talentropy will not be held responsible for missed communications if your contact information is outdated or incorrect.
j. Rejection Notices and Employer Assist Features
Employers may activate features, such as automated rejection notices, to streamline their hiring processes. These notices are sent based on criteria set by the employer, and Talentropy has no discretion over their transmission. Similarly, employers may use automation to schedule interviews or group candidates based on their qualifications. Talentropy’s role in these processes is purely mechanical, and all decisions regarding applications and interviews are made by the employer.
k. Your Job Seeker Data
When using Talentropy, you may perform various actions, such as searching for jobs, submitting applications, or updating your profile. Talentropy collects, processes, and stores information related to these activities, including but not limited to:
This data is used to personalize your experience, suggest job opportunities, and improve the platform’s functionality. By using Talentropy, you consent to the collection and analysis of this data, as well as its use to inform employers about your activity, such as when you are online, recently active, or responsive to messages.
If you initiate a job application on an employer’s website or their Applicant Tracking System (ATS) through Talentropy, the platform may collect additional data via automated methods, such as cookies or APIs. This data includes actions you take during your application process. Employers using these tracking methods are responsible for obtaining any required consents under applicable laws. Talentropy is not liable for the employer’s compliance with these requirements or for the functionality of third-party systems.
l. Class Action Waiver
By using Talentropy, you agree not to participate in any class action against the platform, whether as a plaintiff, class representative, or member. Your acceptance of these Terms, including the class action waiver, is a condition of using Talentropy’s free services. However, you retain the right to pursue individual claims in small claims court, where applicable.
