Terms of Use

Last updated 1 August 2026

Acceptance

By using this site or holding a DGS account you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the service.

Membership

Individual membership is free and always will be. Accounts are personal — do not share credentials.

We may suspend an account that misrepresents qualifications, identity or right-to-work status, or that harasses another member.

Your content

You keep ownership of anything you upload — CVs, story text, images and audio.

By publishing a contribution story you grant DGS a non-exclusive licence to display and excerpt it across our site and reports. You can withdraw a story at any time and we will remove it within 14 days.

Do not upload anything you do not have the right to share, including third-party photographs or confidential employer material.

Employers

Shortlists are provided without warranty. Verification confirms identity, right-to-work status and credential comparability at the date stated — it is not a reference or a performance guarantee.

You may not use candidate data for any purpose other than assessing the specific role for which the shortlist was provided.

Liability

The service is provided "as is". To the extent permitted by Irish law, DGS is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from use of the site, the programmes or a hiring decision.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Ireland and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts.
