Terms & Conditions

1. Who can use Remote Jobs SA

• You must be 18 or over.
• The information you give us must be true, including on your CV and profile.
• One account per person. Keep your sign-in details to yourself; you are responsible for activity on your account.
• If you post jobs for a company, you must be authorised to recruit for it.

2. What we are, and what we are not

Remote Jobs SA is a job board and a set of tools for South Africans looking for remote work with companies abroad, and for companies hiring them. We are not an employer, recruitment agency or labour broker, and we do not guarantee that anyone will find work or fill a role. Any contract of work is made directly between the job seeker and the employer.

3. Job listings

• Listings come from employers who post directly on the site, and from other job sites and company careers pages that we find with automated and AI tools and check before publishing.
• We check that links work and whether South Africans can apply, but we cannot guarantee that a listing is accurate, still open or genuine. Do your own checks before sharing personal details.
• A real employer will never ask you to pay to apply or to be interviewed. Report any listing that looks wrong using the report button on the job, and we will look into it.

4. For job seekers

• Your CV is your responsibility. The CV builder and AI CV matcher only use what you tell them, but AI can make mistakes. Read everything before you send it: you are the one who has to stand behind it.
• Applying on this site shares your profile, CV and cover note with that employer, as described in our Privacy Policy.
• The talent pool is optional. If you join, employers can find your profile, invite you to screening interviews and contact you. You can leave at any time from your profile.
• AI screening interviews are optional. If you take one, the employer who invited you sees the transcript and an AI scorecard. The employer makes the hiring decision, not the AI.
• Tax and contractor status. Most remote roles with foreign companies are contracts, which usually makes you an independent contractor rather than an employee, so no tax is deducted for you. You are responsible for registering with the South African Revenue Service (SARS), paying provisional tax and filing your returns. This is general information, not tax advice; a registered tax practitioner can advise on your situation.

5. For employers

If you post jobs or use the site to find candidates, you also agree to the following.

• Real, open roles. Listings must be for genuine vacancies you are hiring for, with an accurate description and a real salary range. Every listing posted here must show one.
• No fees to candidates. You must not charge candidates anything to apply, be interviewed or be hired.
• Fair treatment. Listings and hiring decisions must not discriminate unlawfully, and must comply with the laws that apply to you.
• Applications stay on the site. Candidates apply through Remote Jobs SA, and you review them in your Applicants dashboard. When you advance or reject an application, we notify the candidate.
• Candidate information. CVs, profiles, interview transcripts and contact details you receive may be used only to recruit for your roles. Keep them secure, do not sell or pass them on, and delete them when you no longer need them. You are responsible for handling them lawfully under the data-protection laws that apply to you, including POPIA.
• AI tools are an aid. Match scores and interview scorecards help you review candidates. You make the hiring decisions, and must not reject a candidate on the basis of an automated score alone.
• Price. Posting jobs and reviewing applicants is currently free. We will tell you before any charge applies.

We may remove a listing, or suspend an employer account, that breaks these terms.

6. Premium subscriptions

• Premium unlocks the courses and a proof of completion for each, the community, and the AI CV matcher (up to 20 analyses a month). A proof of completion records that you finished a course; it is not an accredited qualification. The job board, applying for jobs and the CV builder are free.
• There are two plans, billed monthly or every three months. The standard prices are R99 a month or R249 every three months. The first 100 members, and anyone who joins in the 24 hours after the 100th member pays, pay a founding price of R35 a month or R99 every three months instead. Members who join after that, while our new member offer runs, pay R45 a month or R120 every three months. Either way, members keep the price they joined on for as long as their subscription continues; if they cancel and subscribe again later, the price at that time applies. Payments are taken by PayFast, and plans renew automatically until you cancel. We email you before each renewal.
• On some of our pages you can pay before you have an account. When the payment goes through, we create your account with the email address you typed and email you a link to get in. Please check the address carefully: the link and your receipt go only to it.
• You can cancel at any time from “Manage” in the app. Billing stops straight away, and you keep premium access until the end of the period you have paid for.
• If a renewal payment fails, you keep access for five days while PayFast retries.
• We will email you before a price change applies to your subscription.
• Refunds, including the cooling-off period, are covered by our Refund Policy.

7. Community rules

The community chat, discussions and messages are for professional, respectful conversation. Do not:

• harass, threaten or abuse anyone, or post hate speech;
• post spam, scams, or offers that ask people to pay for work or referrals;
• post links in the community chat (the Remote Jobs SA team may post links);
• share other people’s personal information without their permission;
• post anything unlawful, misleading, or that you do not have the right to share.

We may remove content and suspend or close accounts that break these rules, without notice. Direct messages are private between the people in them, but we may review them when they are reported or to investigate abuse.

8. Your content and ours

You own what you upload and write, such as your CV, profile and messages. You give us permission to store, display and process it to run the service, including sharing it with employers and our service providers as our Privacy Policy describes.

The site, its courses and course materials belong to us or our licensors. They are for your personal use; do not copy, share or resell them.

9. Suspending and closing accounts

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or puts other members at risk. You can stop using the site at any time, and ask us to delete your account by emailing info@remotejobssouthafrica.co.za.

10. Our responsibility to you

We work to keep the site accurate and available, but we provide it as it is. As far as the law allows, we are not responsible for employers’ conduct, for disputes or unpaid work between job seekers and employers, for decisions employers make, or for mistakes in AI-generated content. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the Consumer Protection Act or other South African law that cannot be limited.

11. Changes and the law that applies

We may update these terms. We will change the date at the top, and email members about significant changes before they take effect. These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of South Africa.
