Terms of Service
These Terms of Service (“Terms“) govern your access to and use of the website, platforms, products, and services provided by Rise92 (“Rise92,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you may not use the Services.
Rise92 operates as a premium global talent partner providing curated talent services, hosted employment (Employer of Record/EOR), and PeopleOps support. We are not a staffing agency or marketplace. Our Services are relationship-driven, at-cost, and designed for long-term collaboration.
1. Definitions
- Client: Any company, organization, or individual engaging Rise92 for talent, EOR, or PeopleOps services.
- Talent: Any professional vetted, represented, or supported by Rise92.
- Services: Talent curation, hiring facilitation, hosted employment (EOR), PeopleOps, compliance, and related advisory services.
- Hosted Employment/EOR: Employment arrangements where Rise92 (or its local partner) acts as the legal employer for Talent, while the Client directs day-to-day work.
2. Scope of Services
Rise92 provides modular services that may be engaged independently or in combination, subject to a written agreement.
2.1 Talent Curation
Rise92 facilitates curated introductions to vetted, off-market professionals. Talent curation services are advisory and matchmaking-focused in nature. Rise92 does not act as an agent for either party and does not guarantee hiring outcomes, performance, retention, or business results.
2.2 Hosted Employment (Employer of Record)
Where explicitly agreed, Rise92 or its authorized local partners may act as the Employer of Record (EOR). Under EOR arrangements:
- Rise92 administers employment contracts, payroll, statutory benefits, and local compliance
- The Client retains full responsibility for role definition, work allocation, supervision, and performance management
- No employment relationship is created between the Client and the Talent unless expressly stated in writing
2.3 PeopleOps Services
PeopleOps services extend beyond statutory employment and may include HR operations support, employee relations facilitation, performance frameworks, attendance coordination, and PeopleOps advisory support. These services are operational in nature and do not constitute legal, tax, or financial advice.
3. Client Obligations
Clients agree to:
- Provide accurate and complete information regarding hiring needs, role requirements, and compliance constraints
- Use Talent in accordance with applicable laws, professional standards, and ethical practices
- Maintain a safe, respectful, and non-discriminatory work environment

Clients are solely responsible for business decisions, deliverables, and outcomes resulting from the use of the Services.
4. Talent Obligations
