Platform rules

Terms of Use

1. Provider and scope

Talbio is operated by Ouda Aboumanify, Friedrichstraße 155, 10117 Berlin, Germany. These terms govern candidate and employer use of the Talbio reverse-recruitment platform. The role-specific sections below form part of these Terms.

2. The service

Talbio provides a manually vetted network in which approved employers may browse anonymous professional profiles and send specific opportunities. Candidates decide whether to decline or approve each request. Talbio facilitates introductions but does not guarantee interviews, employment, candidate availability or successful placement.

3. Accounts and verification

Users must provide accurate, current and lawfully obtained information, protect their credentials, and use their own identity or an authorised company role. Accounts are personal and may not be transferred or shared. Talbio may request reasonable verification information, reject access, suspend accounts or remove content where reasonably necessary to protect users, comply with law or preserve service integrity.

4. Candidate Terms

Candidate access is currently free. A candidate must create an account only for themselves, keep their profile reasonably current and avoid unlawful content, confidential employer or third-party information, and special-category personal data in free-text fields. Candidates control profile visibility and may block selected employers.

Employers initially receive only an anonymous profile. Approving a specific opportunity authorises Talbio to represent the candidate for that named employer and opportunity and to share the approved profile, identity and contact details for that purpose only. Every representation and disclosure decision is made separately by the candidate. Approval of one request does not authorise disclosure to another employer or for another role.

5. Employer Terms

An employer user confirms that they are authorised to create the account and act for the named company. Employer access is limited to genuine recruitment activity. Employers must provide accurate company and opportunity information and may use candidate information only to assess and communicate about the opportunity approved by that candidate.

Before candidate approval, employers must not attempt to identify or re-identify anonymous candidates, circumvent platform controls, contact candidates outside Talbio, or combine anonymous profile information with external sources for identification. Employers must not scrape, export, copy, resell, redistribute, build an external talent database from, or use Talbio information for unrelated roles, marketing, profiling, discrimination or any unlawful purpose.

After receiving approved candidate information, the employer is independently responsible for its recruitment processing and for compliance with the GDPR, BDSG, AGG and other applicable employment and data-protection law, including lawful basis, transparency, security, retention and candidate-rights obligations.

6. Candidate consent and confidentiality

Candidate identity, contact details and optional LinkedIn URL remain confidential until the candidate provides the separate approval described above. Users must respect employer blocks, declined requests and confidentiality indicators. Information disclosed through an approved connection must remain limited to people who genuinely need it for the relevant recruitment process.

7. Fees and commercial agreements

Candidate use is free. Any employer placement fee, including its calculation, due date, replacement terms and scope, is governed by a separate written commercial agreement. Website access, registration and these Terms do not by themselves replace or amend that commercial agreement.

8. Prohibited use

Users must not impersonate others, submit misleading profiles or opportunities, introduce malicious code, interfere with authentication or security, test the service for vulnerabilities without written permission, harvest data, evade access restrictions, or use Talbio unlawfully. Automated extraction and unauthorised commercial reuse are prohibited.

9. Availability and changes to the service

Talbio is an early-stage service and may be changed, interrupted or discontinued. Reasonable care is taken, but uninterrupted availability and error-free operation are not guaranteed. Talbio may introduce reasonable limits needed for security, reliability or manual vetting.

10. Liability

Liability is unlimited for intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body or health, fraudulent concealment, guarantees and mandatory statutory liability. For ordinary negligence involving an essential contractual duty, liability is limited to foreseeable damage typical for the contract. Otherwise, liability for ordinary negligence is excluded to the extent permitted by law.

11. Suspension and termination

Users may request account closure at any time. Talbio may suspend or terminate access for material or repeated breaches, security risks, false information or unlawful use. Where appropriate, Talbio will consider the seriousness of the issue and give the user a reasonable opportunity to respond. Data handling after closure is described in the Privacy Notice.

12. Acceptance records and changes to these Terms

Creating an account requires active acceptance of the Terms applicable to the selected role. Talbio records the role, Terms version and acceptance timestamp. Material changes will be communicated appropriately and renewed acceptance will be requested where required. Changes do not retroactively remove accrued statutory or contractual rights.

13. German law and venue

German law applies, excluding conflict-of-law rules, without depriving consumers of mandatory protections of their country of residence. Mandatory statutory rules on jurisdiction remain unaffected.
