Safety Tips for Applicants

It is our endeavor to provide all our users with a safe and hassle free experience on Internshala. Accordingly, we would like to make Applicants aware of following safety tips for them.

Internshala does NOT allow Employers to:

1. Offer unpaid Jobs, unless explicitly mentioned so in the Job listing.
2. Post training program and any such program where Applicants are expected to pay a security deposit or an admission fee.
3. Charge money in any form (including test fee, security deposit, documentation fee etc.) from the Applicants for offering Job. This is strictly prohibited.
4. Offer modelling Jobs from lesser known companies.
5. Offer Network Level Marketing (NLM) jobs/internships where applicants/individuals have to use their personal connections and personal social media accounts to promote a business.
6. Offer any Job where there is a possibility for an Applicant consuming alcohol or smoking or inducing others to do so, as the majority of our users are underage.
7. Offer Jobs from individuals or organisations promoting explicit religious content, a particular religious personality, or a sect etc.
8. Offer Jobs at businesses promoting or dealing in gambling, porn, and other prohibited/illegal/age inappropriate activities.
9. Make third party Job listing. An Employer can post Jobs only for the organization that he/she directly works for. Recruiting agencies or any third party agencies are authorized to post Jobs on their clients' behalf only after they have been authorized by the Internshala team.

Further, it is mandatory for Employers to ensure that :

1. Jobs details communicated to Applicants at any stage are same as advertised on Internshala and there is no negative material difference (Ex. - offering lower or no stipend than what was advertised on Internshala).
2. Any assignment(s) that they may give to Applicants to assess their suitability for the Job should be fair and relevant to the Job profile. Any attempt to get work done for free from Applicants disguised as assessment or to get them to download or generate downloads for an app or get likes/shares/comments etc. for Employer's social media handles only for the purpose of getting free publicity disguised as an assignment are strictly prohibited.
3. All their communications with Applicants (through Internshala Chat or otherwise) are professional and must not contain any obscene or offensive content.
4. Once they hire any Applicant(s) for their Job, they must provide them with an offer letter clearly detailing all the important details of the Job (such as role & responsibilities, remuneration, and payment mechanism) and complete address and contact details of Employer.
5. They pay the promised remuneration to the selected Applicant(s) in a timely manner as per agreed terms and conditions of the Job as detailed in the offer letter.

If you come across any example of any Employer violating these guidelines, you must report it to Internshala using Help Center so that we can investigate and take appropriate actions.
