Employer's Terms & Conditions

These are the terms on which Dekasu (referred to as “We” or “Dekasu” in these terms) provides Services to facilitate database searching on this website (www.dekasu.com). Our registered office address is 20-22 Bedford Row, London WC1R 4JS. If you have any queries, you may contact us by email at legal@dekasu.com or by post at

    Dekasu Limited
    20-22 Bedford Row
    London WC1R 4JS
    United Kingdom.

Our Company registration number is 06791360.

Dekasu is a career site which Employers and individuals may join as Users. There is a public area of the site with a blogging facility which is available to be seen by general internet users. Members who register may upload information about themselves and other work-related documents onto their profiles, or private page, not visible to other Dekasu users nor general internet users. Prospective Employers will be able to enter criteria to search for candidates on Dekasu’s database, in order to fill their vacancy, and the site presents the results in the form of the number of candidates whose profiles match (to a greater or lesser degree) the Employer’s criteria for that role (without naming them or featuring other personal information so as to identify them). The Employer then uses Dekasu’s internal system to initiate communication directly with a potential candidate. If the Member decides to engage in dialogue with the Employer they agree to have their CV and their identity disclosed to the Employer.

7. The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Business Regulations 2003


  1. 7.1 Jobseekers and recruiters need to be aware that Dekasu operates as a venue only and does not introduce or supply work-seekers to Prospective Employers (or vice versa). This means that Dekasu does not:
  1. 7.1.1 obtain sufficient information for Prospective Employers to select a suitable work-seeker for the position which the Prospective Employer seeks to fill.
  2. 7.1.2 obtain confirmation of the identity of a work-seeker or that they have the experience, training, qualifications or authorisation to work in the position to be filled, or that they wish to undertake the role to be filled.
  3. 7.1.3 take any steps to ensure the work-seeker and recruiter are each aware of any requirement imposed by law or otherwise which must be satisfied by either of them to permit the work-seeker to fulfil the position to be filled.

Since Dekasu is only a venue and does not propose or introduce work-seekers to recruiters or vice versa, it is recommended that if you are a work-seeker you review the guidance set out in the CEAEBR and act appropriately to ensure your suitability for the role advertised.
  1. 7.3 As an Employer seeking to employ a Member, you should, when approaching a Member:
  1. 7.3.1 identify yourselves and the nature of your business.

  1. 7.4 As an Employer seeking to make an offer of work to a Member, you should:
  1. 7.4.1 confirm the identity of the Member.
  2. 7.4.2 confirm that the Member is willing to perform the duties demanded by the position.
  3. 7.4.3 obtain physical confirmation of the experience, authorisations and qualifications required by you, by law or by any relevant professional bodies in order for the Member to satisfactorily perform the duties of the position being filled.
  4. 7.4.4 obtain at least two independent references for the Member where specific authorisations and qualifications are required by you, by law or by any relevant professional bodies in order for the Member to satisfactorily perform the duties of the position being filled.
  5. 7.4.5 obtain proper confirmation that the Member is suitable to fill the position, if it involves working with vulnerable persons (including those under the age of 18, the elderly, the infirm, or anyone in need of particular care and attention), by performing appropriate checks, such as a Criminal Records Bureau check.
