Terms of Use

01Purpose of the Website

H&S provides staffing information and allows employers, candidates, and other visitors to communicate with the company. H&S currently supports contract and contract to hire staffing, with technology as the current specialty.

Using the website does not by itself create employment, a staffing agreement, a placement agreement, an agency relationship, or any other contractual relationship between you and H&S.

02No Guarantee

Contacting H&S, providing information, submitting a résumé, or discussing a staffing need does not guarantee an interview, a candidate submission, a job opportunity, employment, a placement, a candidate match, a staffing engagement, or any hiring outcome.

03Employer and Staffing Inquiries

An inquiry does not require H&S to accept an engagement, and H&S may decline any inquiry. Commercial arrangements between H&S and a client are governed by separate written agreements.

The public website does not establish staffing fees, markups, payment terms, conversion fees, contract to hire conversion periods, guarantees, employment classifications, payroll responsibility, or any other commercial terms.

04Candidate Information

If you provide professional information about yourself, you represent that the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have the right to provide it.

Providing information does not create employment and does not require H&S to represent you for any opportunity.

05Candidate Approval

H&S will not submit a candidate’s profile or résumé to a client for a particular opportunity without first informing the candidate about the opportunity and receiving the candidate’s approval for that submission.

Before representing a candidate for an opportunity, H&S discusses the compensation associated with that opportunity.

Approval for one opportunity does not automatically authorize submissions for unrelated opportunities.

06Staffing Engagements

H&S may support contract and contract to hire arrangements. The website does not establish employment classification, payroll responsibility, employer of record status, independent contractor status, conversion fees, conversion periods, markups, payment terms, guarantees, client obligations, or candidate employment terms.

Where applicable, those matters are addressed in separate written agreements.

07Screening

Depending on the opportunity, screening may include résumé review, recruiter screening, technical screening, internal technical interviews, work authorization or eligibility review, role specific qualification against the client brief, reference checks when appropriate or required, and background checks when appropriate or required.

Not every opportunity will involve every screening step.

If a background check or other consumer report requires a separate disclosure, authorization, or notice under applicable law, that process will be provided separately. Providing information to H&S through the website does not by itself authorize H&S to obtain a consumer report or background check.

08Website Information

Information on the website is provided for general informational purposes. We may change, update, or remove content at any time without notice. Content on the website is not legal, tax, employment, or professional advice.

09Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the website to:

• Break any applicable law or regulation
• Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information
• Submit information about another person without the right to do so
• Send unsolicited commercial messages or spam
• Introduce malicious code or interfere with the operation of the website
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any system or account
• Collect information from the website by automated means without our permission

10Intellectual Property

The website and its content, including text, layout, graphics, and the H&S name and marks, are owned by H&S or used with permission and are protected by applicable law. You may view and print pages for your own reference. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, or use the content for commercial purposes without our written permission.

11Third-Party Links and Services

The website may link to websites or services operated by others. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content, practices, or availability. Links are provided for convenience and do not imply endorsement.

12Website Availability

We aim to keep the website available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error free operation. We may suspend, withdraw, or restrict all or part of the website for business or operational reasons.

13Disclaimer

The website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, H&S disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

14Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, H&S will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, business, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the website, whether based in contract, tort, statute, or any other legal theory, and whether or not H&S has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.

15Privacy

Information submitted through the website is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which forms part of your use of the website.

16Separate Agreements

Where H&S and a client, candidate, or other party enter into a separate written agreement, that agreement governs the subject matter it covers. Nothing on the public website modifies a separate written agreement, and a separate agreement may contain its own governing law and dispute resolution provisions.

17Governing Law

These Terms and your use of the public website will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

You agree that the state and federal courts located in California will have jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the public website, except where applicable law requires otherwise. Separate staffing or commercial agreements may contain their own governing law and jurisdiction provisions.

18Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the Effective Date at the top of the page. Continued use of the website after an update indicates that you are aware of the current Terms.
