2. Description of Services

EQ Workforce is a subscription-based talent sourcing and retention platform connecting Texas healthcare organizations with licensed nursing and healthtech professionals. Our Services are offered to two categories of users:

• Healthcare Employers: Texas-based hospitals and healthcare organizations that subscribe to EQ Workforce's talent sourcing and retention services.
• Healthcare Professionals: Licensed nursing and healthtech professionals who join the EQ Workforce talent network to receive information about work environments and matched role opportunities at partner organizations.

EQ Workforce is not a staffing agency. We do not place temporary workers, charge placement fees, or earn commissions on hires. We operate on a flat-fee subscription model for employer partners.

3. Employer Terms

3.1 Subscription Services

Employer subscriptions are offered on a monthly or annual basis at the rates published on the Site at the time of enrollment. Subscription fees are flat-rate and are not contingent on the number of candidates delivered or hires made.

3.2 Payment

All subscription fees are due in advance of the service period. Failure to remit payment may result in suspension or termination of Services.

3.3 Use of Candidate Information

Candidate information provided through EQ Workforce's Services may only be used for internal recruiting purposes. Employers may not share, sell, transfer, or otherwise distribute candidate information to third parties. Employers may not contact candidates through channels other than those facilitated by EQ Workforce without the candidate's explicit consent.

3.4 Direct Hiring

Employers hire candidates directly. EQ Workforce is not a party to any employment agreement between an employer and a candidate introduced through the platform.

3.5 No Guarantee of Results

EQ Workforce does not guarantee that any subscription will result in a hire. We commit to active sourcing and candidate delivery as described in the applicable service agreement but cannot guarantee candidate acceptance of any offer.
