Employer Accounts
Effective Date:Applies Globally to Employers, Recruiters, Agencies, and Representatives
Wigiwork operates a privacy-first, NDA-Safe™, anonymous hiring environment. To maintain the integrity and confidentiality of our platform, all employers and recruiters must follow the rules below. These rules supplement the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Data Protection Notice, and NDA & Confidentiality Notice. Wigiwork may enforce these rules at its sole discretion to protect confidentiality, platform integrity, user safety, and compliance with applicable laws.
1. Account Ownership
- Employer accounts belong to the company, not the individual user who creates them.
- The designated Account Owner represents the company and may add or remove recruiter accounts.
- Wigiwork may transfer account ownership to verified company leadership upon request.
- Recruiters do NOT personally own candidate access or employer data.
- The Account Owner is responsible for all activity conducted under the employer account, including actions of recruiters, employees, contractors, and authorized users.
2. Verification Requirements
You may be required to provide:
- business registration documents
- proof of hiring authority
- recruiter authorization letters
- company email verification
- website/LinkedIn confirmation
- valid mobile number (no virtual numbers or landlines)
- additional documents when requested for compliance
Failure to complete verification may result in restricted access, suspension, or removal. Wigiwork is not obligated to disclose verification criteria, signals, or decision logic.
3. Recruiter-Client Disclosure
Recruiters and agencies must:
- accurately disclose the employer clients they represent
- identify the specific hiring client for each job posting, search, or hiring action
- use candidate information ONLY for the disclosed employer
- update client information if the hiring relationship changes
Employers and recruiters must not use proxy, shell, or undisclosed entities to access candidates. All access must be conducted under the real hiring company disclosed to Wigiwork. Misrepresentation of company identity is treated as fraud and may result in immediate suspension, termination, or legal action.
3A. Recruiter, Agency and Client Access Scope
3A.1 Scope of Access
Direct employer access is limited to the approved employer entity and its authorised internal team members, for internal hiring review only.
Recruitment agency access is limited to the approved agency and the single named end client included in the Profile Access Request. Access may not be used for any other client, company, affiliate, or role.
Any use of candidate information for a different client, role, company, or hiring process requires a new Profile Access Request and fresh candidate approval.
The candidate must be informed of the identity of the approved end client, or the direct employer, before their identifying information is disclosed, so that candidate approval is given in relation to a specific, disclosed hiring party.
3A.2 Agency Authority and Client Confidentiality
Where a recruitment agency, staffing firm, recruiter, or intermediary posts a role, uses a client name or brand, or submits a Profile Access Request on behalf of an end client, the agency confirms that it has the authority and permission to act for that client, use that client's name or brand where applicable, and present candidates to that client.
Before presenting or disclosing any candidate information to an approved end client, the recruitment agency must ensure that the approved end client is bound by confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations that protect the candidate's identity, profile information, personal data, and anonymity.
The approved end client must also be bound by restrictions prohibiting re-identification, deanonymization, external cross-referencing, off-platform contact, and disclosure outside the approved hiring purpose.
The approved end client may use candidate information only for the specific hiring purpose, role, or engagement connected to the approved Profile Access Request, and must not share, forward, store, publish, or disclose candidate information to any unapproved party.
3A.3 Prohibited Disclosure and Breach
A recruitment agency must not share, submit, forward, disclose, present, copy, export, or otherwise make candidate information available to any other client, company, affiliate, recruiter, hiring manager, or third party without fresh candidate approval.
Sharing candidate information with any unapproved party, posting or requesting access on behalf of a client without proper authority, or allowing an approved end client to misuse or disclose candidate information is a breach of Wigiwork's confidentiality, privacy, and anonymity terms.
4. Confidentiality & NDA-Safe™
Employers and recruiters must treat all information accessed on Wigiwork as strictly confidential, including:
- candidate profiles
- messages
- hiring activity
- documents and files
- internal notes or workflows
You may NOT:
- screenshot, record, download, export, or share information
- upload candidate data to ATS, CRM, spreadsheets, or external databases, except through Wigiwork-approved integrations and only where permitted by the applicable access, integration, and candidate-approval settings
- forward candidate data to unauthorized individuals
- share candidate information with other clients or external companies
- discuss details in a way that could reveal candidate identity
All candidate information is protected under NDA-Safe™ rules. Employers are responsible for how information is accessed, used, and handled within their organization.
Employers and recruiters who store, share, or misuse candidate information outside the platform are solely responsible for that conduct and act as independent controllers under applicable data-protection laws, including the GDPR, UK GDPR, and CCPA/CPRA. Wigiwork does not control, and is not liable for, actions taken by users outside the platform.
5. Use of Anonymous Candidate Profiles
Employers and recruiters must not:
- attempt to guess or identify candidates
- combine anonymous information with external data sources
- use AI tools, scraping tools, or inference tools to deanonymize candidates
- misuse visibility settings or access controls
Direct identity and contact fields controlled by Wigiwork are disclosed only when the candidate approves access, subject to system limitations, user-selected visibility settings, and applicable law.
6. Data Handling Restrictions
Employers may not:
- retain candidate information after access expires
- export data to external systems
- build long-term candidate databases using Wigiwork content
- repurpose candidate data for new or unrelated job openings
- use candidate information outside legitimate hiring evaluation
All retention, copying, and reuse is prohibited and may result in enforcement action, including account termination, except where retention is strictly required by applicable law.
7. Job Posting Responsibilities
Employers must:
- publish accurate job information
- provide honest and non-misleading salary ranges
- adhere to platform salary integrity rules
- avoid excessively wide or inaccurate ranges
- avoid under-valuing roles
- update postings when a role changes or closes
- ensure job postings, filtering, and selection comply with applicable anti-discrimination and equality laws (including EU, UK, and EEOC requirements)
Wigiwork may reject or correct postings that violate these standards. Wigiwork may apply internal validation rules, guardrails, and system thresholds to ensure salary accuracy, fairness, and compliance. Wigiwork does not disclose internal criteria, signals, or enforcement logic.
7.1 Use of Automated Tools (Deployer Responsibilities)
Where you use Wigiwork's automated matching, ranking, or shortlisting features for roles subject to the EU AI Act, you may act as a "deployer" or otherwise have obligations relating to your use of those outputs, including human oversight, informing affected workers or candidates where required, and ensuring lawful, non-discriminatory use. You must also comply with any local automated-employment-decision rules (such as NYC Local Law 144) applicable to your roles. Wigiwork's outputs are recommendations only, generated by matching platform data against your stated hiring requirements, and do not make hiring decisions.
Employers and recruiters must not treat, repeat, publish, forward, or rely on Wigiwork automated outputs as verified factual statements about a candidate's identity, current employer, past employer, affiliation, employment status, qualification, availability, or hiring suitability unless the information is expressly marked as verified or separately confirmed through lawful review.
7.2 Data Accuracy & Verification Responsibility
Unless expressly marked as verified by Wigiwork, Wigiwork does not verify, authenticate, or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, currency, or reliability of information entered, uploaded, imported, or submitted by candidates, employers, recruiters, agencies, or clients, including profile content, job requirements, qualifications, credentials, employment history, availability, compensation information, or hiring representations.
Employers and recruiters are solely responsible for independently reviewing, verifying, and evaluating all candidate, profile, job, credential, and hiring-related information before making any interview, shortlist, hiring, rejection, compensation, or business decision.
8. Communication Standards
- Employers may not contact candidates outside Wigiwork without explicit approval
- No spam, mass outreach, or unsolicited external communication
- All communication must be professional, respectful, and compliant with applicable laws
Users who communicate with candidates outside the platform are solely responsible for that conduct. Wigiwork does not control, and is not liable for, interactions that occur outside the platform, without limiting Wigiwork's own obligations as a data controller under applicable law.
9. Location, Proxy & VPN Restrictions
To maintain anonymity and security:
- Employers may not access Wigiwork using VPNs, proxies, or location-masking tools unless expressly authorized by Wigiwork
- Wigiwork may determine or adjust your location for compliance
- Additional verification may be required if suspicious access is detected
Use of VPNs, proxies, or location-masking tools may result in restricted access, additional verification, suspension, or termination.
10. WigiPic™, Wigi-DNA™ & Brand Protection Rules
Employers and recruiters may NOT:
- download or reuse WigiPic avatars
- use Wigiwork branding or illustrations in their products
- train AI models on Wigiwork images or avatars
- modify, crop, or extract artwork
- reuse logos, icons, or monoline illustration styles
- attempt to remove or bypass Wigi-DNA™ protection markers
Wigiwork enforces trademark and copyright protections globally. Wigiwork does not guarantee that Wigi-DNA™ protections will be effective in all cases, particularly where content is altered or used outside supported environments.
11. Prohibited Behaviors
Employers and recruiters may not:
- manipulate platform features or visibility
- attempt to reverse-engineer ranking or matching
- mislead candidates about job details

Violations may result in suspension, termination, or legal action.
