Universal Jobmatch is a self-service job posting service for employers, jobs boards and recruitment agencies.

Built into the service are monitoring tools and vacancy checks which help to detect, deter and remedy inappropriate use of the site.

All vacancies posted on Universal Jobmatch must meet the Terms & Conditions which includes that an account holder must not post duplicate jobs.

Where there is a breach of Terms & Conditions, service to the employer or recruiter may be permanently withdrawn.

Checks are also made to identify inappropriate, fraudulent and bogus jobs in order to block them from being posted. Additionally, 'Contact Us' and ‘report this job’ facilities are provided so that users can quickly highlight any employers that they may have concerns about, which are then investigated.
