Terms of Service

These terms govern access to Surge, an invite-oriented career platform connecting approved professionals at every experience level with hiring organizations.

Last updated: June 11, 2026

Platform overview

Surge provides candidate profile, job discovery, recruiter search, application, messaging, interview, feedback, billing, and workflow tools. Access may be invite-based, reviewed, or limited by role, geography, organization approval, or platform quality requirements.

Eligibility and account access

  • You must be at least 18 years old to use Surge.
  • You are responsible for keeping your account information accurate and your credentials secure.
  • Candidate and recruiter access may require invite codes, verification, approval, or organization review.
  • Surge may reject, suspend, or limit accounts that violate these terms or platform quality standards.

Candidate responsibilities

  • Provide accurate professional, compensation, location, authorization, and application information.
  • Do not misrepresent employment history, credentials, skills, identity, or compensation expectations.
  • Use privacy controls responsibly, including blocked companies and profile visibility settings.
  • Apply only to roles you are genuinely interested in and qualified to pursue.

Recruiter and organization responsibilities

  • Post accurate jobs, compensation ranges, requirements, work model, and interview expectations.
  • Use candidate data only for hiring-related evaluation and communication.
  • Respect blocked-company restrictions and candidate privacy settings.
  • Respond to candidates and manage applications in good faith.

Payments and credits

Surge may offer candidate application credits, recruiter job posting credits, subscriptions, or other paid features. Pricing, validity, refund rules, and available payment methods may vary by region and product surface. Purchased credits are generally non-transferable and non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated in the product.

Resume parsing

Resume import is provided to reduce onboarding effort. Parsed values may be incomplete or incorrect, and candidates are responsible for reviewing and editing all profile information before saving or using it in applications.

Intellectual property

Surge owns the platform, software, designs, workflows, algorithms, and branding. Users retain ownership of their profile and submitted content, while granting Surge the rights needed to operate the platform, display profiles according to privacy settings, process applications, and provide recruiter workflows.

Account deletion

Users may initiate account deletion from the app. Account deletion starts a 30-day recovery period. After that period, data is scheduled for permanent removal unless retention is required for legal, billing, security, fraud-prevention, or dispute reasons.

No employment guarantee

Surge helps candidates and hiring organizations discover and manage opportunities. Surge does not guarantee interviews, offers, employment, compensation, candidate availability, or hiring outcomes.

Changes and termination

We may update these terms or change platform features over time. We may suspend or terminate access if an account violates these terms, creates risk, or uses the platform in a way that harms users, organizations, or Surge.
