Employer Conduct & Messaging Rules

Employers must interact with candidates professionally, respectfully, and lawfully at all times.

You must not:

• harass, pressure, or intimidate candidates
• discriminate based on protected characteristics
• misrepresent your identity, role, or intentions
• manipulate, coerce, or threaten candidates
• attempt to bypass platform rules or visibility controls

Candidates may freely:

• decline
• ignore
• withdraw
• block
• remain anonymous indefinitely

These actions may not be punished or held against them.

Wigiwork is not responsible for employer or candidate conduct outside the platform.

Wigiwork is an anonymous network. Employer behavior must not compromise that anonymity.

You must never:

• attempt to identify a candidate outside Wigiwork
• ask for personal details prematurely (name, email, phone, Linkedin, photo, ID, etc.)
• "guess" identity from hints
• search external sites to match candidates
• request personal links, resumes, photos, or documents before access approval
• pressure candidates to reveal identity early

Identity access must always occur through official Wigiwork Access Requests.

While Wigiwork enforces anonymity protections, it does not guarantee that identification is impossible in all circumstances, particularly where users act outside platform controls.

3.1 Professionalism

All communication must be:

• respectful
• relevant to the role
• honest and transparent
• free from manipulation
• clear about expectations and next steps

You must NOT send:

• harassing content
• aggressive follow-ups
• spammy or generic mass outreach
• high-pressure or salesy messages
• inappropriate or unprofessional remarks

Wigiwork is not responsible for message delivery, candidate response, or engagement outcomes.

3.2 No Spam or Mass Messaging

You may not:

• send bulk identical messages
• automate messaging using external tools
• attempt to message scraped or exported lists
• repeatedly message candidates who do not respond

Spam may result in automatic restrictions, suspension, or termination.

4.1 Off-Platform Coercion

You must not ask candidates to:

• move the conversation to WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS, etc. before identity approval
• apply through external links designed to harvest identity
• complete external forms or tests without advance disclosure
• provide personal contact details prematurely

Wigiwork is not responsible for any interactions, communications, or data sharing that occur outside the platform.

4.2 Discriminatory or Biased Messaging

Zero tolerance for messages referencing:

• gender
• race
• age
• nationality
• religion
• disability
• orientation
• appearance
• marital or parental status

4.3 Manipulative Behavior

You must never:

• threaten to block or penalize candidates
• imply that declining harms their ranking
• pressure immediate responses
• attempt guilt, shame, or fear-based persuasion

4.4 Inappropriate Content

Strictly prohibited:

• sexual or suggestive remarks
• insults or derogatory language
• personal comments unrelated to the job
• any form of harassment

When requesting access or contacting a candidate, employers acknowledge the salary expectations displayed on the candidate's profile.

You must NOT:

• approach candidates with offers significantly below their stated expectations
• attempt to "price shuffle," lowball, or pressure them to lower their range
• request access to candidates you cannot realistically afford
• waste candidate time with non-serious or bait-and-switch offers
• misrepresent your budget, compensation structure, or range flexibility

Reasonable negotiation is permitted, but:

• intentional undercutting
• exploiting "unlimited" outreach
• collecting candidate data without intention to hire
• or salary manipulation

will result in warnings, restrictions, or permanent bans.

Requesting access is considered confirmation that you:

• understand the candidate's expectations
• have a legitimate intention to evaluate them at or near that level

Wigiwork may apply internal controls, monitoring, and enforcement actions to ensure compliance with salary integrity rules and does not disclose its internal criteria or thresholds.

Employers must accurately represent:

• job details
• salary range
• location
• seniority
• employment type
• required skills
• remote/hybrid/on-site status
• timelines and expectations

You may NOT:

• post fake jobs
• post "ghost roles" with no real hiring intent
• hide mandatory location requirements
• mislead or exaggerate compensation
• use job postings to gather data

Integrity breaches lead to account action.

Wigiwork may review, modify, restrict, or remove job-related communications or postings that do not meet platform standards.

7.1 Correct Workflow

Identity access must always follow Wigiwork's approved flow:

• Employer sends Access Request
• Candidate reviews the request
• Candidate approves, denies, or blocks
• Identity is revealed only upon approval

You must not:

• ask for personal details in messages
• attempt to bypass or weaken access controls
• pressure candidates to "just share your identity"
• retaliate against candidates who remain anonymous

Wigiwork does not guarantee candidate response, approval of access requests, or engagement outcomes.

7.2 Revocation

If a candidate revokes identity access:

• all off-platform contact must stop
• identity information must not be reused
• any stored personal data must be deleted
• no further outreach is permitted

Violations are enforced strictly.

Wigiwork is not responsible for any use of identity information once it has been accessed or taken outside the platform.

Employers must:

• use candidate data only for the approved role
• not store, export, or repurpose identity data
• not build internal lists or databases from Wigiwork profiles
• not feed Wigiwork data into AI tools or third-party systems
• restrict access to authorized team members only

All candidate information is confidential under the NDA & Confidentiality Notice.

Employers are responsible for ensuring all internal users comply with data handling rules and for any misuse within their organization.

Organizations with enterprise or unlimited plans must not:

• mass-contact the entire talent pool
• automate access requests
• scrape or harvest large amounts of data
• use "unlimited" to bypass per-candidate value rules
• train external AI models on Wigiwork content
• exploit access for market research rather than hiring

Wigiwork may enforce rate limits or corrective actions for abusive usage.

Wigiwork may apply rate limits, throttling, or access restrictions at its discretion to prevent misuse, regardless of plan type.

Wigiwork may take any appropriate action, including:

• warnings
• messaging restrictions
• job post removals
• temporary feature limits
• credit forfeiture
• employer account suspension
• permanent termination
• ATS/API access revocation
• legal action in severe cases
• notifying affected candidates

Wigiwork will act quickly to protect candidates and the platform.

Wigiwork retains full discretion in determining violations and enforcement actions and is not obligated to disclose investigation methods or outcomes.

Employers must honor all rights defined in:

• Candidate Rights & Identity Controls
• Privacy Policy
• AUP
• NDA & Confidentiality Notice

This includes respecting candidate choices to:

• remain anonymous
• decline access
• ignore messages
• block companies
• withdraw interest
• take a break
• go offline
• restrict visibility

Any attempt to punish, target, or retaliate against candidates is strictly prohibited.

Violations of candidate rights may result in immediate enforcement action, including suspension or termination.
