Terms of Use

1. Portal purpose and ownership

The Vacancy Portal is owned and operated by the Department of Labor and Employment, Regional Office No. I (DOLE RO I). It supports vacancy announcements, applicant accounts, submission of recruitment information and documents, and evaluation by authorized personnel.

These Terms of Use describe the portal workflow. Published vacancy requirements, applicable recruitment rules, and official agency instructions continue to govern each recruitment process. Creating an account does not submit an application or guarantee employment.

2. Your account and contact details

Provide an email address you control and keep your contact details current. Protect your portal password and email account, do not share credentials, and sign out when using a shared device.

Account credentials and password-reset instructions may be delivered by email. Review the instructions you receive and use the account security settings to change your password. Report suspected unauthorized access through the office contact below.

3. Accurate and complete information

Enter accurate, current, and verifiable personal information, eligibility, education, training, and employment records. Use the listed address selections and review all entries before continuing.

Leave optional fields blank only when you have nothing applicable to declare. False, misleading, incomplete, or unsupported information may affect evaluation, subject to the applicable agency rules and review process.

4. Qualifications and evaluation entries

Enter and save applicable college and master's degree records, eligibility, training titles and hours, and work experience in the relevant portal fields. Complete the required entries and save each added or edited record before proceeding.

Master's degree, training, and work experience may receive additional points under the applicable evaluation criteria. Records appearing only in attachments, but omitted from the portal fields, will not be credited for additional points through those entries. Uploaded documents serve as supporting evidence. Entering a record does not guarantee points; relevance, authenticity, and applicable criteria remain subject to assessment.

5. Required documents and application submission

Read the specific vacancy announcement and prepare the required documents, including signatures or notarization where required. Upload a complete, readable compiled PDF within the limit shown by the application form. An unreadable, incomplete, or missing attachment may prevent proper review.

Finish the application workflow, upload your compiled PDF, and confirm submission. An account, a saved profile, or an upload alone is not confirmation of a completed application. Review your application list after submitting.

6. Deadlines, availability, and duplicate applications

Submit before the closing date and time for the vacancy. The portal currently applies a 7:00 PM Philippine-time cutoff on the stated end date; follow the published announcement and seek clarification from the office if its instructions differ.

The portal prevents duplicate applications for the same applicant and vacancy. Submit early enough to address incomplete entries, connection interruptions, file-size limits, or other technical problems. A technical problem does not itself extend a published deadline; any extension must be officially announced.

7. Submitted records and corrections

Submitting an application saves a vacancy-specific copy of your relevant profile information, qualifications, and attachment reference. Later changes to your profile do not automatically update an application already submitted.

Review your information before confirming submission. If you discover an error in a submitted application, contact the office for the applicable correction procedure. The portal does not provide an automatic right to replace or revise a submitted record after the deadline.

8. Assessment, scores, and recruitment decisions

Authorized recruitment personnel can review submitted information and supporting documents, record remarks, assign application statuses, enter scores, and prepare recruitment reports. Statuses and reports support the recruitment process and are not an appointment or employment offer.

Qualification, shortlisting, examination, interview, and final selection remain subject to the relevant requirements and authorized agency decisions. Direct questions about assessment or results to the office through its official channels.

9. Responsible use

Suspected misuse may be referred to authorized personnel for review and appropriate action under applicable rules. These terms do not remove any rights or remedies available under law.

• Use the portal for legitimate account and recruitment activities, and submit only information and documents you are entitled to provide.
• Do not impersonate another person, falsify qualifications, upload malicious content, or attempt unauthorized access to accounts, documents, or administrative functions.
• Do not interfere with portal operation, bypass submission controls, or obtain or disclose another applicant's information without authority.

10. Privacy, support, and revisions

Read the Privacy Policy for the personal-data categories and processing associated with the portal. Acceptance of portal terms does not replace a lawful basis for processing or waive your privacy rights.

Use the office contact below for technical, application, or privacy inquiries. Do not send passwords, SMTP keys, or unnecessary identity documents in an initial support message. Any future approved revision of these terms should identify its effective date and be made available through the portal.
