Please read these Thai Specific Terms together with our existing service terms and conditions (please see below for further information). A number of the requirements under the Decree and Notifications are already addressed by our existing service terms and conditions. These Thai Specific Terms of Service supplement our existing service terms and conditions.
References to “we” and “us” (and related terms) mean JobsDB Thailand.
From 3 January 2024, our existing terms and conditions will be amended (and superseded in the event of any inconsistency) to meet the following requirements:
If we intend to temporarily suspend, either in entirety or partially, the service offered to any particular user, we shall notify the concerned user in writing prior to or at the time of service suspension. The notification shall also include reasons for the suspension, such as the relevant service conditions, facts, circumstances, notifications by third parties or the period for exercising the right to contest.

The notification shall also include the reasons for the termination, such as the relevant service conditions, facts, circumstances, notifications by third parties or the period for exercising the right to contest. The period and notification of reasons shall not apply to the following cases:
complying with the law or a lawful order prevents us from notifying the users within the specified period;
repeat violation of the of terms or conditions or serious violation which is clearly stipulated in our terms and conditions.
In cases of service suspension or termination, we will provide the relevant user with an opportunity to clarify the facts and reasons through our internal complaint handling system (see section F below). If we deem appropriate, we will reinstate the service to the user within a reasonable time. We shall allow the user to access personal information or other information that the user had on the digital platform service prior to the said suspension or termination of service. We may provide this access without providing access to our platform itself (e.g. the information could be provided by us via other electronic means).
In the case of temporary service suspension, irrespective of whole or partial service, as a result of improvement of service, problems or defects of the service or any other similar cause, we shall provide the following details to users:
In the case where there is an advance preparation – a notification in advance prior to the suspension of service, including the details regarding the temporary service suspension, reasons and period of such service suspension.
In the case where there is no advance preparation – a notification expeditiously after the service suspension, including the details regarding the temporary service suspension, reasons and period or expected period of such service suspension.
Candidates using JobsDB Thailand (including those using our services without a registered candidate account)
The following terms explain the terms and conditions under which we provide services to candidates, including those that access our services without a registered candidate account:
https://th.jobsdb.com/terms (English language version);
https://th.jobsdb.com/th/terms (Thai language version).
A candidate can only apply to a job advertisement through our platform if they create a candidate account. There is no fee to create, maintain or close a candidate account. Candidate accounts are password protected which helps ensure that the person submitting a job application on our platform is the candidate represented in the application.
Please note that on or around 21 January 2024, our above terms and conditions will be updated. The website links above will automatically redirect to the new terms at that time. We recommend that candidates (including those that access our services without a registered candidate account) review the new terms and conditions when they come into effect. Candidates may cease using our services and close their candidate account (if applicable) if they do not agree with our updated terms and conditions. Continued use of our services will constitute acceptance of the updated terms and conditions.
We do not charge candidates or general website users any service fees. This will not change when the terms and conditions are updated on or around 21 January 2024.
Advertisers using JobsDB Thailand
Our relationship with each advertiser is governed by the following terms:
Advertising Terms of Use:
https://th.employer.seek.com/support/termsconditions (English language version);
https://th.employer.seek.com/th/support/termsconditions (Thai language version)
The Advertising Terms of Use incorporate our Product Terms and Conditions:
https://th.employer.seek.com/support/productterms (English language version);
https://th.employer.seek.com/th/support/productterms (Thai language version)
The general website and app terms and conditions that also apply to candidates and general users:
https://th.jobsdb.com/terms (English language version;
https://th.jobsdb.com/th/terms (Thai language version)).
Advertisers may also enter into a Sales Agreement to acquire certain products or services from us (for example, an Ad Budget). A Sales Agreement sets out additional terms and conditions relating to the products / services acquired. A Sales Agreement incorporates the Advertising Terms of Use and the Terms and Conditions still also apply (see website links above).
We charge advertisers fees to use some products / services:
Advertisers must pay for certain job advertisement types. The relevant fee is disclosed to advertisers:
online at the time of posting an advertisement online; or
at any time through an online price checker tool.
Our fees for other products / services (such as our proactive candidate search services) are disclosed at the time of purchase or within a Sales Agreement.
As explained in our email to all advertisers sent during December 2023, we will be updating our suite of advertiser terms and conditions on or around 21 January 2024. The above website links will automatically redirect to the new terms at that time.
We note that advertisers must create an account in order to advertise on our website or app or use our other services, such as Talent Search (a proactive candidate search service). We collect information from the advertiser during the account creation process which we can use to authenticate their identity. We use a combination of technology and human review in this process. We also have ongoing measures in place to maintain confidence that an advertiser is genuine. We continually monitor our platform for suspicious behaviour and potentially fraudulent / illegal activity. We also have reporting functionality on every job advertisement which allows candidates to flag any concerns about authenticity of the advertisement or the identity of the advertiser (or any other concern). Candidates can also raise concerns via a number of other channels (please see section F). We take these reports very seriously and take prompt action when it is required (e.g. terminating a fraudulent advertiser’s account).
JobsDB Thailand uses algorithms and other criteria to rank or recommend services (and related information) for users in the below key areas.
Job ad search functionality for candidates
The JobsDB Thailand’s Job Search Engine provides lists of job ads as results for candidates’ input search queries to assist candidates in finding job advertisements closely related to explicitly stated interests. The engine outcomes are displayed to candidates on our website and mobile app. Each individual outcome represents a job advertisements closely related to a candidate’s search query. The main parameters affecting the automated decisions made by this service are candidates’ search queries, sorting criteria, search filters like location or work type, past searches and clicks on our platform and the job ad content, such as job ad title and description. Changes in any of these parameters, especially in the search query, sorting criteria and search filters, would affect the outcomes. Additionally, job advertisements may feature more prominently in search results than jobs of similar relevance based on the advertisement type and level of exposure paid for. We believe this service will allow candidates to find and apply for jobs matching their interests.
Job recommendations for candidates
The JobsDB Thailand’s Recommendation Engine provides lists of recommended job advertisements for candidates to assist candidates in discovering the most relevant job advertisements available on our platform. The engine outcomes are displayed to candidates on our website, mobile app, and by e-mail. Each individual outcome represents a job advertisement potentially related to the inferred interests of each candidate. The main parameters affecting the automated decisions made by this service are candidates’ past clicks and applications on our platform and descriptive information extracted from registered candidate profiles and resumes, such as qualifications and work experience. Changes in any of these parameters, especially in the information provided in the resumes and profiles, would affect the outcomes. Additionally, job advertisements may feature more prominently in recommendation lists than jobs of similar relevance based on the advertisement type and level of exposure paid for. We believe this service will make it easier and faster for candidates to find and apply for relevant jobs.
Strong Applicant Badge for candidates
The JobsDB Thailand's ‘Strong Applicant Badge’ provides a strong compatibility indicator for candidates to inform candidates when they might be a strong fit for an advertised role. The model outcomes are displayed to candidates on our website and mobile app. Each individual outcome represents a machine prediction that the qualifications of a candidate strongly match the requirements of a job advertisement. The main parameters affecting the automated decisions made by this service are descriptive information extracted from registered candidate profiles and resumes, such as qualifications and work, and the job advertisement content, such as job titles and descriptions. Changes in any of these parameters, especially in the information provided in the resumes and profiles, would affect the outcomes. We believe this service will assist candidates in making well-informed decisions about job applications.
Career advice for candidates
The JobsDB Thailand’s Career Advice service provides pieces of career-related information and job advertisements related to a career for candidates to inform candidates about some statistics and analysis about a career. The service outcomes are displayed to candidates on our website, mobile app, and by e-mail. Each individual outcome represents a cohesive set of statistics, analysis, and relevant job advertisements related to a given career. The main parameters affecting the automated decisions made by this service are the career name, search filters like location, and collection of job advertisements published on our platform at a given time. Changes in any of these parameters, especially in the career name and search filters, would affect the outcomes. Additionally, job advertisements may feature more prominently in service outcomes than jobs of similar relevance based on the advertisement type and level of exposure paid for. We believe this service will assist candidates in understanding different career paths better and making well-informed decisions on our platform.
Salary Suggestion (for advertisers)
The JobsDB Thailand's Salary Suggestion service suggests the typical salary range of a job role for advertisers to assist advertisers in defining the salary of a position when creating or updating job advertisements. The service outcomes are displayed to advertisers on our website and mobile app. Each individual outcome represents the typical salary range of a given job role in a location. The main parameters affecting the automated decisions made by this service are information about salary, role, and location extracted from job advertisements available on our platform. Changes in any of these parameters, especially in the role and location, would affect the outcomes. We believe this service will help advertisers create job advertisements with salaries more aligned with market behaviour and candidates' expectations.
Sort applicants by relevance (for advertisers)
The JobsDB Thailand’s Sort Applicants by Relevance service provides ordered lists of applicants for advertisers to assist advertisers in identifying candidate profiles matching the requirements of a given job advertisement. The engine outcomes are displayed to advertisers on our website and mobile app. Each individual outcome represents a candidate’s registered profile who has previously applied to a job ad published on our platform. The main parameters affecting the automated decisions made by this service are the candidate's CV included in the application, the candidate’s answers to role requirement questions required for completing the application in some cases, and the candidate profile content, such as experience and skills. Changes in any of these parameters, especially in the candidate’s CV, answers to role requirement questions, and candidate profile before the application, would affect the outcomes. We believe this service will make it easier and faster for advertisers to find and contact applicants most compatible with the job advertisement requirements.
Premium Talent Search (for advertisers)
The JobsDB Thailand’s Premium Talent Search engine provides lists of candidates as results of advertisers’ input search queries to assist advertisers in finding candidates matching explicitly stated requirements. This is a paid proactive talent searching service for advertisers and does not require the advertiser to have posted a job advertisement. The engine outcomes are displayed to registered advertisers on our website and mobile app. Each individual outcome represents a candidate profile matching advertisers’ search query and filters. The main parameters affecting the automated decisions made by this service are advertisers’ search queries, sorting criteria, search filters like location or work type, and the candidate profile content, such as experience and skills. Changes in any of these parameters, especially in the search query, sorting criteria, search filters, and candidate profile visibility settings, would affect the outcomes. We believe this service will allow advertisers to find and contact candidates matching explicitly stated requirements. Candidates determine their visibility settings for Talent Search (which includes being hidden) – please refer our Privacy Policy for further detail.
Standard Talent Search (for advertisers) [From on or about 21 January 2024]
The JobsDB Thailand’s Standard Talent Search engine provides lists of candidates matching the requirements of a job advertisement to assist advertisers in identifying candidates potentially qualified for a given job. The engine outcomes are displayed to registered advertisers on our website and mobile app. Each individual outcome represents a registered candidate profile matching requirements automatically extracted from a job advertisement. The main parameters affecting the automated decisions made by this service are the job advertisement content, such as job title and description, and the candidate profile content, such as experience and skills. Changes in any of these parameters, especially job advertisement content, would affect the outcomes. We believe this service will allow advertisers to find and contact candidates matching specific requirements defined by a given job advertisement. Candidates determine their visibility settings for Talent Search (which includes being hidden) – please refer our Privacy Policy for further detail.
Standard Talent Search is currently a complimentary service provided to advertisers that do not have Premium Talent Search access.
Category Suggestion (for advertisers) [From on or about 21 January 2024]
The JobsDB Thailand’s Category Suggestion service suggests the job classification most relevant to a job role for advertisers to assist advertisers in selecting the best classification of jobs when creating or updating job advertisements on our platform. The service outcomes are displayed to advertisers on our website and mobile app. Each individual outcome represents the suggested classifications of a given job role most useful for candidates to discover job advertisements on our platform. The main parameters affecting the automated decisions made by this service are the job description content, such as job title and description. Changes in the job advertisement body would affect the outcomes. We believe this service will help advertisers create job advertisements more aligned with candidates’ navigation behaviour on our platform.
JobsDB Thailand uses algorithms and other criteria to advertise employment opportunities on behalf of advertisers (see section B above for further information). We also use algorithms and other criteria in advertising our own services to advertisers:
Types of job advertisements offered to advertisers
Some job advertisement types may only be offered to advertisers if their proposed advertisement meets certain criteria (e.g. the type, location and salary of the role). Which options are available to an advertiser is largely determined by the value we believe the advertiser will receive from our services in advertising their role. We reserve the right to determine which job advertisement types are offered and this may change from time to time.
Variable job advertisement pricing (relevant to advertisers) [Effective no earlier than 21 January 2024]
The JobsDB Thailand’s Variable Job Advertisement Pricing model determines the price advertisers will pay to publish a job advertisement on our platform, aiming to dynamically enhance the correlation between the value an advertiser gains from an advertisement and its cost, which may change over time. These changes will be influenced by long-term trends like the balance of market demand and talent supply for specific role types within a given location. The model outcomes are displayed to registered advertisers on our website and mobile app. The main parameters affecting the automated decisions made by this model are the job role, type of advertisement, ratio of market demand and talent supply for job roles within a given location, and the average salary calculated for each job role. Changes in any of these parameters, especially in the job role, location and type of advertisement, would affect the outcomes. We believe this model will help ensure that the value an advertiser receives from a job ad better matches its cost, which might change over time.
We do not currently use any algorithms of this nature.
We may publish basic testimonial quotes on our website to promote our products and services. That information is based on genuine user feedback which has been obtained proactively (e.g. via a survey) or organically. In some cases we may compensate participants for completing the survey that elicit the testimonial information but we do not inappropriately influence users to provide falsified reviews.
JobsDB Thailand has a Privacy Statement that outlines how we access and use personal data in operating our platform and providing our products / services:
https://th.jobsdb.com/privacy (English language version);
https://th.jobsdb.com/th/privacy (Thai language version). We also have a
Privacy Statement specifically for employers:
https://th.employer.seek.com/privacy (English language version);
https://th.employer.seek.com/th/privacy (Thai language version).
As noted in our emails to all JobsDB Thailand registered candidates and advertisers (sent during November and December 2023), we are updating our Privacy Policy (previously known as our Privacy Statement). Our new Privacy Policy is simpler and easier to understand and ensures greater consistency across our JobsDB, JobStreet and SEEK brands. The new Privacy Policy comes into effect on or around 21 January 2024 and can be accessed via the above website links. Please refer to our Privacy Statements / Policy regarding your rights to access your personal data.
Users of our platform also provide us with information that is not ‘personal data’. We use this information to provide our products or services to the user and for ancillary purposes such as:
generating invoices for products / services acquired by an advertiser;
managing our internal reporting requirements;
collating statistical information about use of our website and app and submission of online applications;
analysing user behaviour on our website and app;
obtaining and analysing high level trends and preparing related reports;
investigating any suspected:
breach of our terms and conditions; or
security related issues; and
generally improving the candidate and advertiser user experience.
You can request access to data that is not personal data by using the communication channels outlined in section F. We assess each request on a case by case basis.

How we manage complaints and dispute resolution
How we manage and resolve complaints / disputes depends largely on the nature and merits of the complaint / dispute. Below is a summary of the usual process we follow in managing common complaints / disputes:
Complaint / dispute type | Usual management process |
---|---|
Our JobsDB Thailand team are slow to respond to a sales enquiry | Complaint is sent to supervisor and copied to the relevant Head Of Department. Complaint assessed and required action taken. |
An advertiser is unable to contact their JobsDB Thailand Account Manager | Complaint is sent to supervisor and copied to the relevant Head Of Department. Complaint assessed and required action taken. |
Our JobsDB staff use inappropriate language when communicating with an advertiser | Complaint is sent to supervisor and copied to the relevant Head Of Department. Complaint assessed and required action taken. |
Advertisers make fraudulent or misleading claims to candidates | JobsDB staff review relevant job advertisement or other complaint content, contact candidates and advertiser if needed. Possible outcomes: job advertisement amended / removed. Advertiser account may be suspended / terminated. |
Candidates are unable to apply to a job advertisement (e.g. due to a technical issue) | We assist candidates in the application process and if they are still unable to apply, we send the case to the internal IT department for further assistance (if appropriate) |
Given the variety of complaints and disputes we receive, it is difficult for us to set specific timeframes within the complaint management and dispute resolution process. However, we endeavour to respond to, and resolve, complaints and disputes as soon as we can.
Electronic Transactions Development Agency (ETDA) assistance
If your problem with our service has not been resolved after following our internal complaint handling process above, you can contact Online Help and Problem Management Center (1212ETDA) of the Electronic Transactions Development Agency (ETDA): Hotline 1212 (24 hours); Email: [email protected] for advice and submitting complaints.
This is not currently applicable to our platform.
Our terms and conditions with both candidates and advertisers allow us to take remedial action in the case of illegal activity. For instance, if we determine that a job advertisement does not comply with law, we have the power to remove that advertisement from our platform and take further action against the advertiser if appropriate. This further action may include suspending or terminating the advertiser’s account with us.
We use a combination of technology and human review to proactively prevent and identify any illegal activity on our platform. We also have reporting functionality on every job advertisement which allows users to flag any concerns about the legality of an advertisement. Users can also report any potentially illegal activity on our platform through our various contact channels (please see section F). We take these reports very seriously and take prompt action when it is required. All platform users are strongly encouraged to report any activity or content on our platform that they genuinely consider to be illegal.
Service user must use our reporting mechanisms in good faith. If required, we may require that:
the report be in writing and affixed with your signature or electronic signature;
the reporter certifies that the statements made are true;
the report must include the following information:
the reporter’s contact information, such as name, telephone number, email address, or any means or channel through which the reporter can be contacted;
sufficient explanation of the reasons why the alleged contents and activity is illegal under the relevant laws;
sufficiently detailed information to allow us to take action against the allegedly illegal contents or activity.
If we conclude that a user has posted illegal content or has otherwise used our platform in an illegal manner, we will provide an opportunity for such user to contest that decision. We reserve the right to take action in advance of providing that opportunity if we believe that is required by law.
We encourage users that suffer damage from our services to contact us using the details provided in section F above. We also dedicate significant resources to protect our platform and our service users. We proactively monitor our platform for misuse (e.g. identifying fraudulent job advertisements) and take appropriate action to assist any service users that may have been affected. In many cases, our proactive intervention helps avoid or minimise damage to service users.
Our approach to assisting service users in the event they suffer damage depends greatly on the situation. We will assess the type and extent of any damage to then determine what assistance and / or remedial action is appropriate according to that specific situation. In some cases it may not be appropriate for us to provide a remedy to a service user. It is very important that all service users read and understand our terms and conditions because they impact what remedies may or may not be available from us – please see section A above.
We always endeavour to promptly engage with users that may have suffered damage from our services and notify them of our proposed actions to assist / remedy the damage (if any). We will usually communicate with affected service users via our platform, email or telephone (dependent on the type of issue).
We note that we hold general liability insurance appropriate for an organisation of our size and business model. This insurance includes product liability protection which may assist us in remedying damage to service users in some cases.
