2. Application

Applications for the Recruitment Consulting Service shall be submitted through methods specified on the Ryze Consulting Recruitment Service Website, pamphlets, advertisements, or other designated media.

If an individual has previously violated the Terms upheld by Ryze Consulting, Ryze Consulting reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to decline the provision of the Recruitment Consulting Service or any other services, even if the application and registration process has been completed.

3. Provision of Services

Ryze Consulting will, at its sole discretion, provide Users with appropriate services selected from the following:

(a) Verifying the information submitted by Users against Employers’ recruitment requirements and providing employment information accordingly.
(b) Scouting Users who best match Employers’ recruitment needs.
(c) Assisting with job application procedures.
(d) Providing career consultation via telephone or interviews.
(e) Supporting recruitment activities through professional consultants.
(f) Any other services Ryze Consulting deems beneficial to Users’ career advancement.

4. Duration of Recruitment Consulting Service

The Recruitment Consulting Service will be provided continuously as long as Ryze Consulting determines that the User intends to continue their job search and that a suitable job opportunity is likely to arise.

However, as a general rule, the services specified in the previous clause will be provided for a maximum of one year from the date the User is notified of the service commencement. If a User successfully secures a job through the Recruitment Consulting Service, the service will terminate on the User’s hiring date. If a User requests termination of the service, Ryze Consulting will process the termination as soon as reasonably possible.

5. Modification, Suspension, or Termination of Service

Ryze Consulting may, at its discretion, modify or suspend all or part of the Recruitment Consulting Service without prior notice to Users, including reassignment of consultants. Additionally, with prior notice, Ryze Consulting may terminate all or part of the service.

In compliance with the Employment Security Act, recruiting agencies are prohibited from soliciting candidates placed through their own recruitment service for a period of two years following employment. Accordingly, Ryze Consulting is unable to offer Recruitment Consulting Services to Users within this restricted period.

6. Termination of Service

Ryze Consulting may terminate the provision of the Recruitment Consulting Service without prior notice if any of the following apply:

(a) The User violates any clause in these Terms.
(b) The User repeatedly fails to respond to Ryze Consulting without a legitimate reason.
(c) The User repeatedly makes requests beyond the scope of the Recruitment Consulting Service.
(d) Ryze Consulting determines that maintaining a professional relationship with the User is difficult.

7. Re-Application for the Recruitment Consulting Service

Ryze Consulting complies with the Employment Security Act, which prohibits encouraging job changes for Users who have secured employment through the service within the past two years.

If a User wishes to reapply for the Recruitment Consulting Service within this two-year period, they must agree to these Terms. By agreeing to the Terms, Ryze Consulting will recognize the User’s re-application as their own independent decision and may provide the service accordingly.

8. Handling of Personal Information

Ryze Consulting will properly acquire, use, provide, and manage Users’ personal information in accordance with its separately established Guidelines for Handling Personal Information.

9. Accuracy of Personal Information

Users must provide accurate and complete personal information to Ryze Consulting and Employers. If any provided information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete, and an Employer or third party raises objections, demands, or requests, the User shall bear full responsibility for resolving such disputes and indemnify Ryze Consulting from any resulting claims.

10. Submission of Documents

Users shall promptly submit the following documents upon request from Ryze Consulting:

(a) Official identification verifying the User’s name and address.
(b) Resident card to confirm residence status or a work qualification certificate.
(c) Any additional documents reasonably requested by Employers.

11. Verification

Ryze Consulting will verify the information submitted by Users against Employers’ recruitment requirements but cannot disclose assessment standards or decisions. If a User applies for a specific job, Ryze Consulting may, at its discretion, decline to introduce the User to the Employer if the Employer’s selection criteria are not met.

12. Employment Conditions

Ryze Consulting will provide Users with employment conditions and contract details confirmed with Employers upon request. However, Users are responsible for directly confirming the final terms before accepting an offer. Users acknowledge that conditions communicated by Ryze Consulting may differ from the final contract terms.

13. Password Management

If Ryze Consulting issues a password for service use, Users shall be responsible for its security and must not share or disclose it to third parties.

14. Prohibited Conduct

Users are prohibited from the following:

(a) Providing false or misleading personal information.
(b) Obstructing the business operations of Ryze Consulting or Employers.
(c) Insulting or harassing other Users, Employers, Ryze Consulting staff, or Affiliates.

Ryze Consulting may use anonymized User information for media publications. All proprietary rights to such information shall belong exclusively to Ryze Consulting.

17. Exclusion of Antisocial Forces

Users must not belong to or engage with organized crime groups or similar entities. Violation of this clause will result in immediate service termination.

19. Force Majeure

Ryze Consulting shall not be liable for service interruptions due to natural disasters, cyberattacks, or other unforeseeable circumstances beyond its control.

20. User Liability
