• Terms and conditions related to use of our recruitment services
  • The site is for posting bona fide job openings at accredited institutions of higher education and other legitimate employers. While every effort is made to ensure that both the employers and the listings are legitimate, the content of a job listing or any other employer-supplied information is the responsibility of the submitting party, not of IHE. Should You have reason to question the validity of information in a job listing or other employer-supplied information, please contact us immediately at 1-202-659-9208.
  • Only the posting of a listing (or other information submitted by an employer) constitutes our acceptance of the listing for publication. We offer no remedies for failure to post a job listing or other information submitted by an employer, except the option to post the listing.
  • All listings must be pre-paid with a credit card at the time of posting except where a specific contract is in place. In the case where an employer has a contract with IHE, that contract supercedes this statement of terms and conditions. IHE’s posting of a job listing does not imply a contract with an employer.

• This statement of terms and conditions covers all content, functionality and services offered by IHE and only content, services and functionality offered by IHE — holders of Interfolio portfolio accounts are subject to Interfolio’s statement of terms of conditions.

Violations of system or network security may result in civil or criminal liability.
• IHE does not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of communications posted by users or endorse any opinions expressed by users. You acknowledge that any reliance on material posted by other users will be at your own risk.
