Planned optional services include:

• Resume optimisation

• Networking access
• Career guidance
• 1-1 mentoring and coaching
• Facilitation of project-based and advisory engagements for senior professionals with extensive experience seeking flexible, non-traditional work arrangements

• All information you have provided is true, accurate, and complete
• You have not misrepresented your qualifications, experience, or identity
• You authorise Connectzz to assess your profile and share it with verified employers for matching purposes

4.1 Accuracy

Everything you share with Connectzz must be true, accurate, and complete.

Connectzz stands fully indemnified from any resulting claim.

4.2 Outcome Reporting

You must inform Connectzz within 48 hours if you receive an interview call, job offer, or employment confirmation arising from a Connectzz introduction. This is a condition of your registration and affects your standing on the platform.

4.3 Non-Circumvention

You may not contact an employer introduced to you through Connectzz directly or independently for a period of 90 days from the date of introduction, without going through Connectzz. Any independent contact with an introduced employer must be reported to Connectzz within 48 hours via your registered WhatsApp number or email. Connectzz stands fully indemnified from any resulting claim arising from your breach of this clause.

4.4 Confidentiality of Employer Contacts

Any employer contact details shared by Connectzz as part of an introduction are strictly confidential. You may not share, forward, publish, or distribute employer contact information to any third party under any circumstances. Connectzz stands fully indemnified from any claim arising from your breach of this clause.

4.5 Independent Verification — Mandatory

You are required to conduct your own due diligence on any employer before attending an interview, accepting an offer, or entering into any employment arrangement. Connectz Digital Services takes no responsibility whatsoever for your actions or decisions arising from any employer engagement. Connectzz stands fully indemnified from any loss, harm, or claim arising from your decision to engage with any employer introduced through the platform.

5. For Employers & Recruiters

By requesting candidates through Connectzz you confirm that:

• You represent a genuine, lawfully operating business
• The vacancy you have described is real, current, and accurately represented

You may not contact a candidate introduced to you through Connectzz for any other purpose or for any other role for a period of 6 months from the date of introduction, without going through Connectzz. Any independent contact must be reported to Connectzz within 48 hours. You may not share candidate information with any third party. You must not retain candidate data after the recruitment process for the introduced role has concluded.

Employer Due Diligence — Mandatory: Connectzz does not independently verify, investigate, or conduct due diligence on candidates beyond the information provided to us. It is the employer’s responsibility to verify candidate credentials, qualifications, identity, and suitability before making any employment decision. Connectzz stands fully indemnified from any claim arising from the employer’s decision to engage with or hire any candidate introduced through the platform.

Employer conduct is reflected in the Connectzz Employer Rating system, which affects your access to candidates and the priority of service you receive.

6. No Guarantee of Employment

Participation in Connectzz’s services — including paid training programmes — does not guarantee a job, an interview, or any employment outcome. Success depends on your skills, conduct, and market fit. Connectzz stands fully indemnified from any claim arising from employment outcomes.
