Terms of Service
Effective Date: November 5, 2025
Welcome to SkillBasedMatching, operated by SkillPatron Corporation. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of our fully managed job search and Right-to-Represent (RTR) services. By accessing or using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. Service Overview and Guarantee Disclaimer
- SkillBasedMatching provides a combined Right-to-Represent (RTR) and Job Application service to execute your job search, including profile optimization, high-volume application submission, and strategic networking on your behalf.
- You understand and agree that neither SkillBasedMatching nor its affiliates guarantee employment.
- The typical timeframe to secure a job offer through our RTR service averages between 1 to 4 months. Federal or executive-level jobs may take longer due to typically longer, more involved hiring cycles.
- Clients with reasonable expectations typically get hired within 2 months.
2. Client Authorization and Responsibilities
- Right to Represent (RTR): By signing up for the service, you authorize SkillBasedMatching to act as your RTR. We will apply for jobs, communicate with recruiters, and conduct strategic networking on your behalf.
- Application Approval: We apply for jobs only after you have reviewed and approved the specific positions based on criteria including locations, compensation, required skills, and work-life balance considerations.
- Dedicated Email: You must provide or allow SkillBasedMatching to create a dedicated email account used solely for your job search.
- Profile Maintenance: You agree to maintain an accurate and up-to-date resume and LinkedIn profile as optimized by our team.
3. Fees, Payment, and Cancellation
