2.1. Zalvus offers a convenient recruiting platform. The use of Zalvus is possible for candidates without registration and free of charge.

4. Obligations of the Candidate


4.1. The candidate is responsible for ensuring that all information provided during the presentation process is truthful and that the information provided is up to date. This does not apply if there is no right to ask questions in order to protect against discrimination and knowledge of this is not required for the job.


4.2. The candidate must ensure that his use of Zalvus, the documents or files transmitted, and the content communicated within the framework of the feedback function do not violate applicable law.

Especially:

  • the distribution of viruses, Trojans and other harmful files;

  • to promote, support or endorse (explicitly or implicitly) the distribution of content that promotes hatred, physical violence or unlawful acts.
