- Accuracy and Completeness: Employers must ensure that all job postings are accurate, detailed, and complete. This includes providing clear job titles, descriptions, qualifications, and any other relevant information that accurately reflects the nature of the job. Misleading or incomplete job postings are prohibited and may result in penalties, including removal of the post or suspension of the employer's account.
- Compliance with Applicable Laws: All job postings must comply with the relevant labor laws, regulations, and standards of the Republic of the Philippines, including those established by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). This includes adherence to anti-discrimination laws and the provision of fair working conditions.
- Prohibited Content: Employers are strictly prohibited from posting job openings that involve illegal activities, discriminatory practices, or jobs that require any form of payment or fee from job seekers. Job postings that do not comply with these requirements will be immediately removed, and the employer's account may be subject to termination or suspension.
- Responsibility for Updates: Employers are responsible for keeping their job postings up-to-date. If a job position is filled or unavailable, employers must promptly update the job posting status or archive it from the BeeHired platform. BeeHired is not liable for outdated or inaccurate information in job postings that the employer still needs to update.
- Time Limit for Job Postings: Each job posting on the BeeHired platform remains active for 21 days under the Basic Plan and 90 days under the Pro Plan, starting from the posting date. After this period, the job posting will automatically expire and be archived from the BeeHired platform. Employers will receive a notification prior to the archiving of their job posting, allowing them the opportunity to take appropriate action if needed.
- Renewal and Extension: Employers can renew or extend their job postings after the given period. To do so, employers can either create a new job posting or utilize any renewal features provided by BeeHired. Employers can choose to renew the posting if the job posting is still active and the position is still available. This will create a new job posting with the exact details and be subject to the same terms and conditions.
- Notification of Closing: BeeHired will notify employers via email or through the platform's notification system when their job posting is nearing its closing date. A notification will include instructions on how to renew or extend the posting if the position is still available. Employers are encouraged to monitor these notifications to ensure their job openings remain active as needed.
- Automatic Archiving: If an employer does not renew or extend a job posting within the specified timeframe, the posting will automatically be archived from the BeeHired platform upon closing. If necessary, employers can retrieve and repost the job by following the platform's standard job posting procedures.
- No Hidden Fees: BeeHired is committed to transparency and fairness. We do not charge any additional fees for the expiration of job postings, except for any standard subscription fees associated with the employer's chosen plan (e.g., Basic or Pro Plan).
