Seen (“Seen,” “we,” “us”), operated by [PLACEHOLDER — legal entity name], is a hiring-transparency platform that aggregates and organizes content created by other people. The material shown on Seen comes from two sources: (a) publicly available third-party discussion, and (b) reports submitted by applicants about their own hiring experiences. Seen also computes aggregate statistics from those reports.
Seen does not independently investigate, verify, or adjudicate the underlying events. The individual reports and discussion reflect the views, opinions, and personal experiences of the people who wrote or submitted them — not Seen's own assertions of fact about any company or person. We present that content with attribution to its nature and source.
Some content is drawn from publicly available discussion on third-party platforms (for example, public threads on Reddit). Where content originates from such public discussion, Seen labels it “Sourced from public discussion” on every surface where the individual item appears, so readers can see it was imported from a public third-party thread rather than submitted directly to Seen.
This content reflects statements made publicly by third parties in their own venues. Seen is surfacing and organizing pre-existing public speech, with attribution to its public-discussion origin. Imported public-discussion items are also weighted lower than first-hand reports in any aggregate statistics.
Applicants may submit reports describing their own hiring experiences (for example, whether they heard back, how long a response took, or at what stage an application stalled). These reports are first-hand claims that reflect the submitter's own account and perspective. They are presented as what an applicant reported — not as facts that Seen has confirmed.
When a submitter provides a report, they represent that it describes a genuine first-hand experience, is truthful to the best of their knowledge, does not identify individual people, and is something they have the right to share. Seen may moderate, decline, or remove submissions at its discretion, but the substance of a report remains the submitter's statement, not Seen's.
Seen derives company-level metrics — such as a ghost rate, a response rate, an average wait time, and a 0–100 Seen Grade — by aggregating the reports and public-discussion items described above. These metrics are summaries of self-reported outcomes, not findings that any company did or did not do something.
Wherever a rate is shown, the honest reading is “X% of N self-reported outcomes,” a statistical signal based on a limited and self-selected sample. Aggregate figures:
A ghost-surge or similar alert is a statistical observation about a change in reported outcomes — not a statement that a company acted wrongly.
Seen is designed to operate as a platform that hosts and organizes content created by others. In the United States, providers of interactive computer services are generally treated differently, for much third-party content, from the original speakers — the framework commonly associated with Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (47 U.S.C. § 230). Much of what Seen presents is also opinion and subjective personal experience, and aggregate figures are presented as reported outcomes with their basis disclosed.
These are general principles, described here to explain the platform's design and intent. They are not legal conclusions, and nothing here is a promise about how any specific law applies to any specific content or dispute. A licensed attorney must review this posture before anyone relies on it. [PLACEHOLDER — counsel to confirm governing framework and jurisdiction.]
We will remove content that:
We generally will not remove content solely because it is unflattering, including:
“It reflects poorly on us” is not, by itself, a basis for removal. Factual inaccuracy, personal information, or clear fabrication is.
Companies and individuals may dispute specific content. To open a dispute, contact hello@seenjobs.io with: the specific content at issue; who you are and your relationship to the company; the basis for the dispute (factual inaccuracy, personal information, or fabrication — not simply that the content is negative); and any supporting information. We aim to acknowledge disputes within [PLACEHOLDER — e.g., 14 business days].
Where appropriate, we will correct or remove content, add context, or attach an official response from the company alongside the disputed material. We may decline requests whose purpose is to suppress genuine, protected applicant speech, and we respond to valid legal process as required by law.
Company names, logos, and trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Seen references them to identify the companies that reports and discussion concern (nominative use). Their appearance does not imply any affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement from those companies.
This Content Policy works alongside our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. To submit or dispute a report, see Report an outcome or the FAQ.
Draft — pending legal review. Seen is not a law firm and nothing here is legal advice.
