1. General Information

Way of Work OÜ, a company registered in Estonia (Harju maakond, Tallinn, Kesklinna linnaosa, Narva mnt 5, 10117), operates a SaaS platform for sourcing, screening, and shortlisting candidates ("the Service"). These Terms govern the use of the platform by customers, including recruiters and hiring companies.

2. Service Description

Way of Work provides a subscription-based SaaS platform for candidate sourcing, screening, and shortlisting. The platform does not make hiring decisions—recruiters and hiring managers are fully responsible for evaluating and selecting candidates. The service includes AI-powered tools to assist in candidate discovery, outreach, and engagement, but the final hiring decision is solely the responsibility of the employer.

Prohibited Use: The platform may only be used for recruitment purposes. It is strictly forbidden to use the platform for sales, marketing, or any promotional outreach that is unrelated to offering job opportunities. Any violation of this policy may result in immediate account suspension or termination.
