Community guidelines

Effective date: November 12, 2026 · Last updated: November 12, 2026

VibrHire is used by people as young as 14. These guidelines apply to everyone who uses VibrHire: job seekers, businesses and their teammates, and linked parents or trusted adults. They are part of our Terms of Service. Any violation of these guidelines or the Terms may result in cancellation of service and/or removal from the community, at VibrHire's sole discretion.

1. Be real

  • Use your real, legal name and accurate details, including your true birth date. Never lie about your age to get around age rules.
  • One account per person. Don't share, sell or transfer your account.
  • Businesses: only post jobs you actually have or genuinely plan to fill, at your real business, with accurate duties, shifts, pay and location.
  • Only invite friends who actually want to use VibrHire. No fake accounts or self-referrals.

2. Be respectful

  • No harassment, bullying, threats, intimidation or stalking.
  • No hate speech or slurs, and no content that attacks people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, veteran status or any other protected characteristic.
  • No sexual content, sexual comments or sexual advances, ever. With anyone under 18 this may be a crime, and we will report it.
  • No violent, graphic, obscene or illegal content.
  • Treat every applicant and business the way you would in person, with professionalism and courtesy.

3. Keep messages about the job

  • Talk about shifts, availability, interviews, training and the work.
  • Never ask for photos, personal social media, dating or personal relationships, or to meet anywhere other than the workplace.
  • Don't use VibrHire to sell, advertise, promote other services or recruit for other platforms.
  • Don't send spam, chain messages or bulk unsolicited messages.

4. Meet safely

  • Interviews and trial shifts happen at the business, during business hours.
  • If you're under 18, you can bring a parent or trusted adult to any interview or trial shift. Businesses must welcome this.
  • Tell someone you trust where you're going.
  • Never get into a vehicle with someone you met on VibrHire to go to an interview.
  • A real business will never ask you to pay to get a job, buy equipment or a "starter kit" up front, cash a check for them, or send gift cards.
  • In an emergency, call 911 first. Then report it to us.

5. Protect personal information

  • Don't share passwords, sign-in codes, bank details, card numbers or Social Security numbers in messages.
  • Hiring paperwork (such as tax forms, I-9 and work permits) happens directly with the business after you're hired, in person or through the business's own secure process, not in VibrHire messages.
  • Don't put phone numbers, emails, social handles or links in listings or early messages to move people off VibrHire. It helps us keep everyone safe.
  • Businesses: use applicant information only to consider people for your job. Never share it, sell it or use it for marketing.

6. Real, paid, legal jobs

  • Every job must be paid at least the applicable minimum wage. No unpaid trial shifts.
  • No commission-only roles, multi-level marketing, "work from home" schemes, or jobs that require buying anything.
  • Businesses must follow child labor laws, including Pennsylvania's limits on hours, times of day and duties for workers under 18, and work-permit requirements.
  • Set "Alcohol involvement" accurately. Workers under 16 may not work where they'd serve food with alcohol; workers under 18 may not pour or serve alcohol.
  • No jobs involving illegal activity, adult content, weapons, drugs (including cannabis), gambling, or hazardous work that's prohibited for minors.

7. No discrimination

  • Businesses must not discriminate against applicants or employees on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation and gender identity), national origin, ancestry, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status or any other characteristic protected by law.
  • Listings must not include requirements or preferences that exclude people on those bases (for example, "young women preferred" or "native English speakers only" where not legally justified).
  • Fit labels are about workplace style. Never use them as a proxy for a protected characteristic.

8. Don't game the system

  • No scraping, bots, automated accounts or attempts to access data you're not allowed to see.
  • No abuse of free months, boosts, referrals or invites.
  • No attempts to get around blocks, suspensions or removals, including creating new accounts.

9. Speak up: reporting and blocking

  • Report anything that breaks these guidelines: in the app, use Profile → Safety concern. Reports are confidential; the person you report is never told who reported them. We review every report within 24 hours.
  • Block a business from the ⋯ menu in a conversation. The business can't message you or see your profile, its jobs disappear for you, and any application is withdrawn. The business is not told you blocked them.
  • Every block is reviewed by our team.

10. What happens when guidelines are broken

Depending on how serious it is, we may:

  • remove content or listings;
  • issue a warning;
  • limit features, such as messaging or posting;
  • suspend or permanently remove an account, and refuse future accounts; and
  • report conduct to law enforcement or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, and preserve information for investigations.

We decide what action to take at our sole discretion, and we may act without warning, especially where a minor's safety is at risk. For businesses, removal does not entitle you to a refund.

11. Linked parents and trusted adults

Linked access is view only. Use it only to follow along with the young person's job search. Don't contact businesses on their behalf through VibrHire, and don't share what you see with others.
