Terms of use

Draft for review. Please have an attorney review this page before launch.

Using this site

North Bay Compass is a free job listing site for Sonoma, Marin and Napa counties. Anyone may search and read jobs without an account. By using the site you agree to these terms.

Job listings

Jobs are posted by employers, or come from the public job listings that employers and public agencies publish themselves. We check every post automatically for pay, location and wording common in scams. We do not employ anyone, take part in hiring decisions, or recommend or guarantee any employer, job, pay, benefit or working condition. Please confirm details with the employer before you apply or accept a job.

Staying safe

A real employer will never ask you to pay to apply, buy equipment up front, or share bank details before you are hired. If a post looks wrong, report it from the job page. Posts that are reported several times are paused until we review them.

Employers

Employers are responsible for their posts and their hiring. Posts must describe a real, current opening in the North Bay, show an honest pay range at or above the minimum wage for the location, and follow California and federal employment law, including laws on pay scales in job postings and on fair, non-discriminatory hiring. We may edit, pause or remove any post, and close any account, that does not meet these terms.

Payment and refunds

Posts are $50 for 30 days unless a free offer applies. Payments are processed by Stripe. If a post is removed because it broke these terms, the payment is not refunded. If something on our side kept your post from running, contact us and we will make it right.

Other organizations

Training programs, events and resources on this site are run by other organizations and are listed for general information. Links to other websites are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for their content, programs or availability.

No advice and limits

Nothing on this site is legal, financial or career advice. The site is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, North Bay Compass is not liable for any loss that comes from using the site, a listing, or a decision made because of it.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date below shows the latest version. Continuing to use the site means you accept the current terms.
