Terms of service

About the service

hire.ee is an Estonian online job board that aggregates listings from public sources (Eesti Töötukassa, applicant-tracking systems used by Estonian employers) and accepts direct postings from registered employers. The service is operated from Estonia under EU and Estonian law.

Acceptable use

You may:

• Browse job listings as a visitor without an account.
• Create a seeker or employer account, apply for roles, save jobs, set up alerts, and publish your own listings as an employer.
• Share individual job listings via the share button or by copying their URL.

You must NOT:

• Use bots, scrapers, crawlers, headless browsers, AI agents, or any other automated systems to access, copy, harvest, or aggregate listings, company profiles, or any other content from hire.ee.
• Bypass technical access controls, rate limits, CAPTCHAs, or attempt to access non-public APIs.
• Re-publish, redistribute, sublicense, or commercially exploit listings or other content from the service in another job board, dataset, or aggregator.
• Use the service to send spam, conduct fraud, harvest personal data, or otherwise harm other users.
• Submit false employer information, post listings on behalf of a company you do not represent, or use multiple accounts to circumvent any restriction.

Search engines (Google, Bing, etc.) may crawl the service in accordance with hire.ee/robots.txt. Any other automated access — including for research, machine learning, or competitive analysis — requires our prior written permission.

Accounts

You must provide accurate sign-up details (real name, working email, and for employers a valid Estonian company registration code). One account per person or organisation; we may suspend or delete accounts that violate these terms, post fraudulent listings, or share credentials.

Employer responsibilities

Employers who publish listings on hire.ee agree that they:

• Represent the company named in the listing and are authorised to recruit on its behalf;
• Post only genuine, currently open roles and remove them promptly once filled or withdrawn;
• Comply with Estonian employment law (no discriminatory criteria, transparent compensation where required, equal treatment under the Estonian Equal Treatment Act).

Your content

You keep ownership of anything you upload — CV files, application messages, employer listings. By submitting it you grant hire.ee a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, display, and transmit that content as needed to operate the service (e.g. forwarding your CV to an employer you apply to).

Intellectual property

The hire.ee name, logo, design system, and the structured database we build from public job sources are protected under Estonian and EU intellectual-property law, including the EU Database Directive. You may not copy or reuse them without permission. Listings sourced from third parties remain the property of their original publishers and are displayed under fair-aggregation principles with prominent attribution and links back.

Disclaimer and liability

We provide the service "as is". Job listings come from employers and external sources — we don't verify every claim, salary, or hiring outcome. To the maximum extent permitted by Estonian law, hire.ee is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service. Your statutory consumer rights under EU law are not affected.

Termination

You can delete your account from the profile page at any time. We can suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms with reasonable notice, or immediately for fraud, abuse, or scraping. Public listings sourced from third parties are not affected by individual account closures.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Estonia. EU consumer-protection law applies where you reside in another EU member state. Disputes that cannot be resolved by direct contact go to the Harju County Court (Harju Maakohus) in Tallinn, unless mandatory consumer law gives you the right to sue in your home jurisdiction.

Changes to these terms

We update these terms as the service evolves. Material changes (new restrictions, new fees, anything that meaningfully limits your rights) get a notice on the site and an email to registered users at least 14 days before they take effect. The "Last updated" date at the top always reflects the current version.
