Job Posting Rules

↑

Take the Power Back (TTPB) exists to give students transparent, safe, and high-quality opportunities that bypass outdated systems. To protect students, uphold our mission, and maintain trust, every job posting on TTPB must follow the rules below.

These rules apply to all employers, partners, and organizations posting jobs, internships, or other opportunities.

Direct Employers Only

Only direct employers, startup founders, or verified company representatives submit jobs directly on TTPB.

To make the platform more valuable for students, some roles may also be aggregated from external job boards. These externally sourced jobs are clearly labeled and reviewed by TTPB before going live.

Employer Verification

Employers must provide:
- Legal company name
- Company logo and website
- Business email address (not free mail)
- Valid recruiter/hiring manager contact info
- LinkedIn/company profile strongly encouraged
Accounts with incomplete or unverifiable information will be rejected.

Job Posting Standards

Every job post must include:

Job title
Role type (Full-time, Part-time, Contract, Internship)
Location (Remote, Hybrid, or On-site)
Responsibilities and requirements
Company description / mission
Application method and deadline

Jobs must be truthful, real, and currently open — no “ghost jobs,” “evergreen posts,” or speculative listings.

Compensation and Internships

All jobs must disclose pay terms (hourly, salary, commission, equity, or a mix).
Unpaid internships are allowed with clear disclosure.
No job may require applicants to pay fees or purchase products to apply/interview.

Contingent or “Spec” Roles

Jobs must be for real, active openings.
If a role is conditional (e.g., “if we get funding”), it must be clearly disclosed in the posting.

Moderation & Review

Every new employer and every new job is reviewed by TTPB moderators before going live.
Trusted employers — such as alumni, sponsors, or repeat posters with a positive history, may qualify for faster approval.
Jobs in high-risk categories (commission-only sales, crypto, remote-first roles) will always receive extra scrutiny.

Community Reporting

Students can report any job via a “Report this Job” button on each job detail page.
Reports are reviewed within 1 business day. 
Employers who repeatedly violate posting rules will be suspended.

Rejection & Remediation

If your posting is rejected, you’ll receive an explanation and steps to fix it.
Employers may resubmit after addressing feedback.

Expired or Filled Jobs

Employers must close jobs once filled or expired.
TTPB moderators will regularly sweep and remove outdated listings.

Focus & Fit

TTPB prioritizes startup, sales, and entrepreneurial roles — opportunities often blocked by traditional career centers.
But we welcome any quality opportunity that meets these rules and aligns with our student-first mission.

Prohibited Content

Multi-level marketing (MLM), pyramid schemes, “get rich quick” roles
Jobs requiring applicant fees or purchases
Exploitative or misleading postings
Sexually explicit or unsafe roles
Jobs that violate labor laws
