General Platform Terms and Policies
Everything you need to know about using CorrectNG — who can register, how your account works, your rights, and what we expect from all users.
These General Platform Terms and Policies (“Terms”) govern all use of the CorrectNG platform, including correctng.com, the job seeker dashboard, the employer dashboard, and any related services. By registering an account or using the platform in any way, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not register or use CorrectNG. More detailed policies for specific areas are available in our Employer Policies and Job Seeker Policies documents.
About CorrectNG
CorrectNG is a professional online job board operating in Nigeria. It connects job seekers with verified employers through a structured hiring environment — providing tools for posting jobs, managing applications, and communicating with candidates.
CorrectNG acts as an intermediary. It does not employ job seekers, represent either party in negotiations, or guarantee any employment outcome. CorrectNG is not a party to any employment agreement that may result from use of the platform.

Job Seeker Registration
Job seeker registration is free. You must provide your real name, a valid phone number, a valid email address, and a password. Your email address is your login username, and only one account may be registered per email address.
After registering, you will need to verify your email address before you can access your dashboard. See Section 5 for details.
Employer Registration and Verification
Employer registration requires your personal contact details, your company information, and the upload of official verification documents. This protects job seekers and ensures only legitimate, registered businesses can post jobs on CorrectNG.
What you need to provide
You will be asked for your name, email address, and phone number as the company representative, along with your company’s registered name, company email, and full office address.
You must also upload four verification documents: a government-issued ID (National ID, NIN Slip, Driver’s Licence, Voter’s Card, or International Passport), your Certificate of Incorporation, a recent proof of your company’s physical address (bank statement or utility bill, no older than 3 months), and an authorisation letter on official company letterhead signed by a Director, CEO, or HR Manager confirming you are authorised to register on the company’s behalf.
All documents must be in JPG, PNG, or PDF format, and no larger than 5 MB each.
Email Verification
After registering, a 6-digit verification code will be sent to your email address. Enter this code on the verification screen to confirm your email. Each code is valid for one hour — if it expires, you can request a new one.
If you don’t receive the code, check your spam folder first. You can request a new code from the verification screen. There is a short wait between resend requests, and a daily limit on the number of times you can request a new code.
Job seekers: Once verified, your account is activated and you are taken straight to your dashboard.
Employers: Verification moves your account into document review. You will be notified by email once our team has completed their review.
Login and Account Security
Your registered email address is your login username. Your password must be at least 8 characters long. You can change your password at any time by visiting correctng.com/change-password — you will need to enter your current password to set a new one.
If you enter an incorrect password too many times, your account will be temporarily locked. A message on the login page will tell you when you can try again. Please wait for the timer to clear before attempting to log in again, as further attempts while locked will extend the wait.
Employer Premium Subscriptions
Employer accounts have free and Premium tiers. All job seeker features are free — no subscription is ever required for job seekers.

Applications
Emails from Employers
Premium employers can email their applicants directly through CorrectNG. These emails will always come from a @correctng.com address, and the display name will match the job title you applied for — so you can easily identify which application it relates to.
Whether you can reply depends on whether the employer has provided a reply address. If not, the email is one-way only.
Newsletter and Job Alerts
CorrectNG offers a free job alert service to notify you when new jobs are posted. Subscribing is optional and does not require a registered account.
Your Data and Privacy
CorrectNG collects and uses personal data to operate the platform in accordance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023 and our Privacy Policy.
