1. Agreement to Terms
These Terms of Service constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity (“you”) and Talgrid Tech Private Limited (“Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), concerning your access to and use of the vHire website and application. By accessing the service, you agree that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by all of these Terms of Service.
2. User Eligibility
The Service is intended for users who are at least 18 years old. Persons who are under the age of 18 are not permitted to use or register for the Service.
3. Platform Role (Intermediary Status)
vHire acts as an intermediary platform connecting job seekers (“Candidates”) with employers/recruiters (“Employers”).
- We are not an employer and are not responsible for any employment decisions made by any entity posting jobs on the Service.
- We do not guarantee that any Candidate will be interviewed or hired, or that any open position will be filled.
- We are not a party to any agreement between a Candidate and an Employer.
- We assume no liability for any interactions, communications, meetings, interviews, negotiations, disputes, or outcomes that occur between Candidates and Employers/Recruiters, whether conducted through the platform or outside of it.
- Any employment relationship, contract, or agreement formed between Candidates and Employers is solely between those parties. vHire is not responsible for verifying the legitimacy, accuracy, or completeness of job postings or candidate information.
4. Skill Assessments & Proctoring (Vault)
Our Vault feature provides proctored skill assessments. By using Vault, you agree to:
- Camera & Screen Access: Allow webcam, microphone, and screen monitoring during proctored sessions for identity verification and integrity monitoring.
- AI Proctoring: Accept that AI-powered systems will analyze your behavior during assessments to detect potential violations.
- Assessment Integrity: Complete assessments honestly without external assistance, unless explicitly permitted. Violations may result in disqualification and account termination.
- Results Sharing: Assessment results and verification badges may be shared with Employers you apply to or who view your profile.
Assessment scores and badges are based on AI evaluation and may not reflect absolute skill levels. Employers make independent hiring decisions.

vHire may facilitate background verification through third-party providers. By consenting to background checks:
- You authorize third-party verification agencies to access and verify your identity, employment history, education, and other relevant records.

- vHire is not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of third-party verification reports.
