These terms govern your use of phonlinejobs.com and its services (the "Service"), run by PH Online Jobs ("we", "us"), Detroit, Michigan, USA. By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you use the Service for a company, you confirm you have authority to bind that company.
1. Accounts and eligibility
- You must be 18 or older.
- Give accurate information and keep it current. One account per person; one employer account per company (team members can be added inside it).
- Keep your password private. You are responsible for everything done through your account. Tell us at once if someone else has used it.
- Jobseekers may only represent themselves. You may not create, lend, rent or sell an account, or apply on someone else's behalf.
- Employers may hire for their own business or, as an agency or recruiter, for their clients. You are responsible for every job you post and every hire made through your account.
- We may refuse, suspend or close any account at our discretion, especially where we suspect fraud, scams or identity misuse.
2. Roles and plans
Jobseekers use the Service free. You never pay to register, apply, be contacted or be hired.
Employers can register and post jobs free. Paid plans are needed to message and hire workers. Current plans are shown at /pricing:
- Free: $0. Up to 5 job posts a month, 20 applications per job, posts go live 24 hours after they pass our check. No messaging.
- Pro: $49 a month or $249 a year. Message and hire workers, 200 contacts a month, 10 job posts a month, 100 applications per job, posts go live once they pass our automatic check.
- Premium: $69 a month or $299 a year. 1,000 contacts a month, 15 job posts a month, 200 applications per job, posts go live once they pass our automatic check, contracts and documents for each hire, AI agents (MCP server and webhooks).
Prices are in US dollars and may change; a change applies from your next billing period and we will tell you first. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel in your billing settings. After cancelling you keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
3. We are a job board, not an agency
We list jobs and profiles so employers and workers can find each other. We are not an employer, recruiter, staffing agency or payroll provider for either side. Any contract is between the employer and the worker directly.
- We take no cut of a worker's pay. Employers pay workers directly through the worker's own Wise, Payoneer, PayPal or other pay link. We never hold or transfer that money.
- Each side is responsible for its own taxes, contracts, permits and compliance with employment law where it operates.
- We do not guarantee that an employer will hire, that a worker will perform, or that either side will pay or be paid.
4. Rules for job posts and hiring
Every job must be a real, salaried vacancy: full-time, part-time, temporary or project work with a stated pay rate. Every job post shows its pay in USD with a PHP estimate. The following are not allowed:
- Asking applicants to pay anything: fees, deposits, training, equipment, software or "processing" charges.
- Unpaid trials, unpaid training or unpaid test work. Test tasks must be short and paid.
- Commission-only pay. Commission on top of a base salary is fine.
- Pushing applicants off the platform before hiring, for example to Telegram or WhatsApp. Keep conversations on the platform until hired.
- Jobs that involve moving money, buying goods on the employer's behalf, cryptocurrency transfers, or any scam, fraud or money-laundering scheme.
- Discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or age.
- Illegal work in the United States or the Philippines, including gambling, hate speech, violence or infringing others' rights.
- Posts that aren't safe for work or don't clearly say what the work is, and jobs where the worker must appear in, create or sell sexual content, or chat explicitly with fans. Every post is checked automatically, with AI help, before it goes live; our team reviews anything the check flags, and posts that break this rule are removed.
- Posts that are really adverts, recruitment for multi-level marketing, or attempts to pull users to another service.
- Fake profiles, fake credentials, fake reviews, or impersonating another person or company.
Posts that match scam patterns are flagged on the site and kept out of search engine job listings. These rules apply to messages too: employers' messages to jobseekers are checked automatically, a message with scam signs is shown to the jobseeker with a warning, and our team may read it and act on the account. We may edit, hide or remove any post or profile, and close the account behind it.
Reviews cannot be hidden or deleted by the person they are about. We remove a review only when it breaks these Terms (abuse, off-topic content, fake or paid reviews, extortion or fraud), after a report from a signed-in user and a decision by our team. The person reviewed may post one public reply within 28 days of the engagement ending; replies cannot be edited. Deleting an account doesn't remove the reviews its owner wrote or the reviews about them: they stay, shown under "Deleted user".
5. Verification, hiring tests and live interviews
The Verified Filipino badge means our team checked a PhilID or ePhilID and a selfie of the person holding it against the profile name. NBI and police clearance badges mean our team reviewed the clearance (and, for NBI, looked its number up on the official NBI site) and it had not expired. Hiring tests (IQ, English CEFR, DISC) are optional and self-administered. All of these are aids, not guarantees. They do not prove a person's skills, honesty or right to work, and you should still interview and check references before hiring.
Live interviews: employers
Employers on Pro or Premium can hire an approved interviewer for a job post. Each interviewer sets a price per interview, minimum $5. The employer pays that price plus a $1 recording and AI fee for each interview, in advance for the number of interviews chosen. An interview that is declined, not attended, shorter than 30 minutes or not recorded becomes interview credit for the employer's company and is used before any new charge. Credit is not paid out automatically; contact us if you want a refund of unused credit. The AI assessment is advice only, and hiring decisions remain the employer's.
Live interviews: interviewers
- Only jobseekers with a current Verified Filipino badge can apply, and our team approves, pauses or removes interviewers at our discretion.
- We keep a 15% platform fee from your price. You earn 85% of your price for each completed interview: at least 30 minutes on the recorded call, with a scorecard submitted. No-shows, short calls and unrecorded calls earn nothing.
- Earnings are paid by hand each month to the GCash, Maya, Wise or Payoneer account on your interviewer profile. You are responsible for your own taxes.
- No side payments. Never ask for or accept money, gifts or work from an applicant or employer outside the platform, and never offer to pass an applicant.
- Declare conflicts. You may not interview for a company you belong to, for a job you applied to, or anyone you know personally.
- Keep everything you see private. Never record, copy or share an interview, an applicant's details or an employer's job details outside the platform.
- Score honestly and do the identity checks on the scorecard. Fake or careless scorecards lead to removal and loss of unpaid earnings for the interviews concerned.
6. Your content
You own what you post: profiles, job posts, messages and documents. You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, show, copy and adapt it as needed to run and promote the Service (for example showing job posts to search engines). The licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for reviews you wrote and the other records we keep after deletion under our Privacy Policy.
You confirm you have the right to post what you post and that it is accurate. We may remove content that breaks these terms or the law.
7. Our content
The PH Online Jobs name, logo, site design, software and text are ours or our licensors'. You may not copy, scrape, mirror, frame or resell the Service, build a competing database from it, or access it with bots or automated tools without our written permission.
8. Affiliate program
Affiliates earn 45% of the revenue from every paid employer they refer, for as long as that employer stays subscribed. Payouts are made by hand each month to the GCash, Maya, Wise or Payoneer account you add on the affiliate page. We may withhold commission on refunded, fraudulent or self-referred accounts, and we may close affiliate accounts that mislead users or breach these terms. Full program rules are at /affiliate.
9. Refunds
Monthly plans are not refunded, except where the law requires it. Instead, you can pause a monthly plan under Billing for 1, 2 or 3 months: it stays active until the end of the month you paid for, then your account has Free plan limits and nothing is charged until the pause ends, when the plan and billing restart on their own. You can resume early at any time, which charges a new month that day.
You can turn off auto-renew for any plan under Billing at any time. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you paid for, then moves to Free, and nothing more is charged.
Annual plans can't be paused. If you ask us, we refund the unused months of an annual plan. Months used are the whole months since the start of your current year, rounded up. The refund is the amount you paid for the year, multiplied by the months not used and divided by 12, rounded down to the cent. For example, after 2 and a half months, 3 months count as used: you get 9/12 of what you paid back, and your plan stays active until the end of month 3, then ends. Refunds go back to the card you paid with.
If we charged you twice or by mistake, email us within 30 days and we will refund that charge in full. Credit from live interviews that did not happen stays on your account for your next interviews; ask us and we will refund unused interview credit to your card instead.
10. Termination
You can delete your account at any time from your settings. It is deactivated at once, and you can restore it by logging in within 30 days. After that we delete your personal data as our Privacy Policy describes; reviews, reports, bans and payment records stay. A ban applies to the person, not only the account: you may not open a new account to get around one. If we link a new account to a banned one, the ban applies to it too. We can suspend or close your account, with or without notice, if you break these terms, harm other users, or put the Service at risk. Accounts closed for breach are not refunded. Sections 3, 6, 7 and 11 to 14 survive termination.
11. Disclaimer of warranties
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not promise it will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, or that any user, post, profile, badge or test result is accurate or trustworthy. To the extent the law allows, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
12. Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data or lost business, arising from your use of the Service or your dealings with other users. Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose, or $100 if you paid nothing. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits, so they may not apply to you in full.
13. Indemnity
You will cover us for claims, losses and reasonable legal costs that arise from your content, your breach of these terms, or your dealings with other users.
14. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be heard in the state or federal courts located in Wayne County, Michigan. Nothing in this section removes rights that consumer law in your country gives you and that cannot be waived.
15. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. We will post the new version here with a new date and, for material changes, notify you by email or in your dashboard at least 14 days before they take effect. If you keep using the Service after that, the new terms apply to you.
16. General
If a court finds part of these terms unenforceable, the rest still applies. Our not enforcing a term is not a waiver of it. We may assign these terms to a successor of the Service. These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service.
