This clause explicitly prohibits using ZipRecruiter's job posting data, resume data, or other content as training data for AI systems, which is directly relevant for companies developing recruitment AI tools that might otherwise ingest publicly accessible job market data.
The updated terms establish region-specific contractual frameworks replacing the previous unified agreement. Job seekers and employers now operate under distinct terms based on geographic location: users in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and India are covered under one agreement, while EU, U.K., and Switzerland users follow separate terms. The revised terms introduce explicit mandatory arbitration clauses, liability limitations, indemnification obligations, and a new Job Applicant Privacy Notice. Job seekers should review the arbitration provision, which requires disputes to proceed through arbitration rather than litigation. You can review the applicable regional terms based on your location at ZipRecruiter's website before creating an account or posting content.
View change record →This provision primarily affects developers, AI companies, and employers using third-party AI recruitment tools that may rely on scraped ZipRecruiter data. For individual job seekers, it means third parties are contractually prohibited from feeding your profile or resume data into AI training datasets via scraping, though enforcement depends on ZipRecruiter's ability to detect and act on violations.
