Eightfold AI Inc., on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, (“Eightfold,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is proud to bring partner companies and individuals together through an artificial intelligence (AI) powered Eightfold Career Exchange Platform, including any functionality and services offered on or through the platform, (the “Website” or “Site” or “Exchange Platform”) to enable a better career exchange experience.

The Exchange Platform is available for use by (1) individuals who are 18 years or older, located in the United States of America, Canada, or the United Kingdom, and look for job opportunities (“Candidates”), (2) companies who have job openings (“Hiring Companies”), and (3) companies who have impacted workers such as furloughed or laid-off individuals that are looking for temporary or full-time job opportunities (“Supplying Companies” or “Current Employers“). If you are a university, college, or other post-K12 educational institution, that has impacted alumni and graduates, you will be treated as a Supplying Company for purposes of this agreement, and such impacted alumni and graduates will be treated as Candidates for purposes of this agreement; accordingly, references to impacted employees of the Supplying Company herein will be references to such alumni and graduates of yours, as the context requires.

You agree to use the Exchange Platform only for the intended purposes, and represent and warrant that you meet any of the foregoing eligibility requirements. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you must not access or use the Exchange Platform.

By clicking “Join Now”, “Join Talent Network”, “Sign Up,” “Register Now,” or similar actions, registering, accessing or using our the Exchange Platform, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Service. The terms and conditions are divided into four sections: (A) specific terms and conditions for Candidates, (B) specific terms and conditions for Hiring Companies, and (C) specific terms and conditions for Supplying Companies, and (D) general terms and conditions for all users of the Exchange Platform.

Job opportunities may be presented to you on the Site in part based on your information submitted such as your past job history, and companies may reach out to you for particular job opportunities. Keeping your information up to date makes these interactions more helpful and relevant.

Your job status through the Exchange Platform may be sent to the Supplying Company that referred you, such as whether and when you were hired by any particular Hiring Company. The Supply Company may need this information to assist its participation of the Platform.
