Hospital Partner Terms

Last updated: January 2025

1. Overview

These Hospital Partner Terms ("Partner Terms") govern your use of DARWN's recruitment and talent acquisition services. By creating a Hospital Account or using our recruiting features, you agree to these Partner Terms in addition to our general Terms of Service.

2. Hospital Account Eligibility

To create a Hospital Account, your organization must:

  • Be a licensed healthcare facility in the United States
  • Have authority to hire healthcare professionals
  • Designate an authorized representative
  • Complete our verification process
  • Agree to these Partner Terms and our general Terms of Service

3. Access to Candidate Information

3.1 Anonymized Data

When browsing the platform, you will see anonymized profiles of healthcare professionals. This includes general information such as specialty, experience level, and geographic region.

3.2 Full Profile Access

Upon purchasing access to a specific candidate profile or hiring through the platform, you will receive:

  • Full name and contact information
  • NPI number and credentials verification
  • Employment history
  • Referral information submitted by colleagues

3.3 Confidentiality

You agree to keep all candidate information confidential and use it solely for recruitment purposes. Sharing candidate data with third parties without consent is strictly prohibited.

4. Fees and Payment

4.1 Placement Fees

A placement fee applies when you hire a healthcare professional discovered through DARWN. Fee structures are based on the position type and agreement tier:

  • Standard placement: Percentage of first-year compensation
  • Premium placement: Custom negotiated rates
  • Subscription plans: Fixed monthly fees with reduced placement costs

4.2 Payment Terms

Placement fees are invoiced upon the candidate's start date and due within 30 days. Late payments may incur interest charges.

4.3 Guarantee Period

If a placed candidate leaves within 90 days, you may be eligible for a partial credit toward a replacement search. Terms vary by agreement tier.

5. Compliance

You agree to:

  • Comply with all applicable employment laws
  • Not discriminate in hiring decisions
  • Verify candidate credentials independently
  • Maintain appropriate records as required by law
  • Report any hiring outcomes to DARWN within 30 days

6. Data Protection

Both parties agree to comply with applicable data protection laws. You are responsible for handling candidate data in accordance with HIPAA, state privacy laws, and your organization's data governance policies.

7. Platform Rules

You agree NOT to:

  • Contact candidates discovered on DARWN outside the platform without purchasing access
  • Share platform data with competitors or unauthorized parties
  • Manipulate market activity or referral submissions
  • Post false job listings or misrepresent opportunities
  • Attempt to circumvent placement fees

8. Termination

Either party may terminate this agreement with 30 days written notice. Outstanding placement fees remain due after termination. Access to candidate data and profiles will be revoked upon termination.

Claiming is free. A claim is not a security, a share in a person or an investment contract, and DARWN is not a broker, dealer or investment adviser. A claim pays only if a specific real-world event occurs; most claims will never pay out and no payout is promised or guaranteed. Any figures shown to explain the mechanics are illustrative, not expected earnings.
