Terms of Service & Conditions
Welcome to Global Social Work Jobs (globalsocialworkjobs.com). These Terms of Service and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website, including Google 1-Click Sign-In, candidate career tools, job applications, ATS recruiter workflows, and subscription features. By creating an account, authenticating via Google, or using the platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
1. Platform Mission & 100% Free Core Commitment
Global Social Work Jobs was founded by social worker Sagar Deshmukh (MSW) with a single core mandate: to connect trained social development professionals (graduates of MSW, BSW, MA in Social Work, Sociology, Rural Development, Public Health, and Disaster Management) with verified NGOs, CSR foundations, and humanitarian employers across India and globally.
To ensure grassroots social workers are never priced out of livelihoods, we make an irrevocable commitment:
- Browsing all published vacancies is 100% free without mandatory account creation.
- Creating a candidate profile, uploading your active resume to our secure Resume Vault, and submitting job applications is always 100% free.
- Grassroots NGOs and non-profit organizations can publish standard job openings for qualified social workers completely free of charge.
2. Google Login & Third-Party Authentication Terms
Global Social Work Jobs provides an instantaneous Secret-Free Google 1-Click Sign-In option powered by Google Identity Services (GIS). By authenticating, signing in, or registering an account using Google Login, you explicitly agree to the following conditions:
When you select “Continue with Google”, authentication occurs directly through Google’s official Identity Services (accounts.google.com/gsi/client). Google issues a cryptographically signed ID Token directly to your browser. Our edge servers verify this token with Google’s tokeninfo endpoint (oauth2.googleapis.com/tokeninfo) to confirm your email verification status and identity. We never store or handle your Google account password.
- You represent and warrant that the Google account used belongs to you and that you have full authorization to use it.
- You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Google account credentials, 2-factor authentication devices, and active login sessions.
- Any activity occurring under your authenticated session is deemed your direct responsibility. If you suspect unauthorized access to your Google account, you must immediately secure your Google account and notify our support team.
- Impersonating another person, creating deceptive Google accounts, or utilizing unauthorized credentials constitutes fraud and will result in immediate termination of access and reporting to relevant legal authorities.
Upon initial Google authentication, our system automatically provisions an account bound to your verified Google email address. Your Google display name and profile picture URL are pre-populated into your profile avatar to facilitate immediate job applications and candidate discovery. You may modify or enrich your candidate details at any time via your Candidate Dashboard.
Global Social Work Jobs’ use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs adheres strictly to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements:
- We do not sell Google user data to any external broker, advertiser, or aggregator.
- We do not use Google user data to serve targeted advertising or personalize commercial marketing campaigns.
- We do not use Google user data to train generalized machine learning or artificial intelligence foundational models.
- Access to Google user data is strictly automated; human staff members are prohibited from inspecting Google user data except upon your explicit request for technical support.
Google LLC is an independent third party. Global Social Work Jobs is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Google LLC. Your use of Google services remains subject to Google’s own Terms of Service. You can disconnect or revoke Global Social Work Jobs’ access to your Google account at any time through your Google Security Settings at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Revoking access will prevent future Google 1-Click logins until re-authorized.
3. Candidate Code of Conduct & Credential Integrity
As a candidate registered on Global Social Work Jobs, you agree to:
- Provide Genuine Credentials: Submit true, accurate, and verifiable educational qualifications (MSW, BSW, MA Development Studies, diplomas) and legitimate professional work history. Falsifying degrees or experience degrades trust across the social work profession and is grounds for immediate termination.

- Active & Funded Vacancies Only: Post only legitimate, currently funded, and active job openings. Posting speculative, fictitious, or expired openings for the purpose of CV harvesting is strictly prohibited.

We enforce an absolute zero-tolerance policy against commercial recruitment exploitation and job scams:
- No employer, recruitment agency, placement consultancy, or individual may charge candidates any fee whatsoever at any stage of the recruitment process.
- This ban strictly encompasses application fees, interview booking fees, registration charges, uniform deposits, mandatory paid training programs, or background verification fees.
- Any listing found requesting money from job seekers will be instantly removed, the recruiter’s account permanently blacklisted, and the incident reported to cybersecurity law enforcement authorities.
6. Candidate Resume Vault & Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
