Last updated 4/8/2025
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Cherrypicker Inc. (“Cherrypicker,” “Company,” “We,” “Us,” or “Our”). These Terms of Use (“Agreement”) govern your access to and use of Cherrypicker’s services, platform, websites, applications, and tools (collectively, the “Services” or “Cherrypicker Hiring Platform”).
By accessing or using the Services, you (“You,” or the entity you represent) agree to be bound by this Agreement, as well as our [Privacy Policy] and any additional terms that may apply to specific features or subscription plans. If you do not agree to this Agreement or any referenced policies, do not use the Services.
You represent that you are authorized to enter into this Agreement on behalf of yourself or the organization you represent, and that you have provided all information necessary for Cherrypicker to deliver its Services. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined throughout.
SERVICES
This Agreement applies to all Cherrypicker Services, including but not limited to:
- (a) www.getcherrypicker.com (the “Cherrypicker Site” or “Site”);
- (b) www.cherrypicker.app (the “Hiring Platform” or “Cherrypicker Platform”);
- (c) Any Cherrypicker-branded mobile applications (the “App” or “Mobile App”); and
- (d) Any related products, communications, tools, or services provided by Cherrypicker that reference or are governed by this Agreement (collectively, the “Services”).
This Agreement applies to all registered users of the Services (“Users,” “You,” or “Your”), including:
- Clients – companies using Cherrypicker to identify and connect with talent.
- Candidates – individuals exploring new career opportunities.
- Recruiters – approved representatives or partners who assist in onboarding Candidates to the platform.
By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, you may not access or use the Services.
USER TERMS DEFINED
Candidate(s) – A Candidate is any individual who creates or is invited to create a profile on the Cherrypicker platform for the purpose of being discovered by potential employers. Candidates may join Cherrypicker by:
- Downloading the mobile app and completing the sign-up questionnaire, or
- Receiving an invitation from a Recruiter or Cherrypicker representative.
Once onboarded, Candidates can receive job matches and Introduction Requests from Clients based on their skills and preferences. Candidates must confirm interest before their profile can be unlocked. After mutual interest is established, Clients can contact the Candidate directly using the information provided in their profile.
Client(s) – A Client (or “Employer”) is any company or authorized representative of a company using Cherrypicker to discover, engage, and recruit talent. Clients may purchase Introduction Credits individually or as part of a subscription to proactively recruit candidates. Clients may upload public LinkedIn URLs to request outreach or browse profiles of Candidates already on the platform. Clients may only unlock and contact Candidates after mutual interest is established.
Introduction Credit(s) (or “Cherrypicker Credit(s)”) – Introduction Credits are digital tokens used by Clients to initiate proactive outreach to specific Candidates. A credit is used to:
- Upload a Candidate’s public LinkedIn profile to the Cherrypicker platform for outreach, or
- Unlock a Candidate profile after mutual interest has been confirmed.
Credits may be purchased in bulk or on a recurring basis via subscription. All credits are non-transferable, non-refundable (except as outlined in our refund policy), and may be subject to expiration as defined in the Client’s subscription agreement.
Recruiter(s) – A Recruiter is an approved user or partner who helps source and manage Candidates on behalf of Cherrypicker. Recruiters may invite Candidates to the platform, manage Candidate profiles, and facilitate job matches. All Recruiters must enter into a Cherrypicker agreement and comply with our platform guidelines.

THIRD-PARTY AGENTS AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
The Cherrypicker Service is intended for use solely by Clients and their authorized Users for internal business purposes. Use of the Service for resale, redistribution, or access by unauthorized third parties is strictly prohibited. Any violation of this Agreement by a third-party agent acting on behalf of a Client will be considered a breach by the Client.
From time to time, Cherrypicker may integrate or provide access to third-party services, vendors, platforms, or applications (“Third-Party Services”) that facilitate recruiting workflows, communications, or data enrichment. These may include (but are not limited to) links to external websites, job boards, email or SMS communications, or data sourcing tools.
Third-Party Services are provided “AS IS” and are not covered by this Agreement. Cherrypicker does not endorse, control, or warrant the accuracy, availability, security, or content of any Third-Party Service. You are solely responsible for evaluating and deciding whether to use any Third-Party Services, and you may opt out of them if applicable.
You should carefully review the terms and privacy policies of any Third-Party Service before using it or sharing any personal or company data, as such use may fall outside the scope of Cherrypicker’s privacy practices. Cherrypicker assumes no liability for any use or misuse of data by a Third-Party Service.
Cherrypicker reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any Third-Party Services at any time, with or without notice.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
By using the Cherrypicker Services, you agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or your use of the Services shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court. This agreement to arbitrate is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and, where applicable, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes.
- Arbitration will be conducted in New York, New York, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing.
- Each party will bear its own costs, including attorney’s fees, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
- Arbitration proceedings will be confidential, and the arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding, subject only to very limited judicial review as permitted by law.
- You are waiving your right to a trial by jury and to participate in a class action or representative proceeding. All claims must be brought on an individual basis. The arbitrator shall not have the authority to consolidate claims of multiple parties or preside over any form of class or representative action.
- The arbitrator may award only damages and relief that are permitted under this Agreement, and shall not have the authority to award punitive damages or damages exceeding the limitations set forth herein.
- Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cherrypicker reserves the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights or confidential information.
This arbitration clause survives the termination of your relationship with Cherrypicker.
FORCE MAJEURE
Cherrypicker shall not be held liable for any failure or delay in performance of its obligations under this Agreement if such failure or delay is due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, labor disputes, internet or telecommunications outages, system failures, government actions, pandemics, or failures of third-party service providers.
Additionally, Cherrypicker makes no guarantee regarding the order or ranking of Candidate profiles displayed within the Services. Candidate search results may vary based on a number of factors, including platform algorithms and user behavior. Cherrypicker shall not be liable if the Service filters or algorithms fail to present the most qualified Candidate to a Client at the time of a search.
ASSUMPTION OF RISK – CANDIDATE INTERVIEWS WITH CLIENTS
Candidates and Clients acknowledge and agree that they assume full responsibility and all associated risks for any interactions, including virtual or in-person interviews, that occur as a result of connections made through the Cherrypicker Service. This includes, but is not limited to, any interviews conducted via video conference, on-site at a Client’s place of business, or at any third-party or mutually agreed-upon location not affiliated with Cherrypicker.
Cherrypicker disclaims all liability for any harm, injury, loss, or damages arising out of or relating to such interactions. This includes, but is not limited to, any misrepresentation by a Client, including instances where a Client poses as a legitimate employer but is in fact acting under false pretenses.
While Cherrypicker uses commercially reasonable efforts to vet and screen Clients, Candidates, and Recruiters before granting access to the Service, Cherrypicker does not perform background checks, credit checks, identity verifications, or criminal history screenings. Users are solely responsible for conducting their own due diligence prior to engaging in any interview or employment-related interaction facilitated through the Cherrypicker platform.
SEVERABILITY; HEADINGS
If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be severed, and the remainder of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. In the event of any conflict between provisions of this Agreement, Cherrypicker reserves the exclusive right to determine which provision shall prevail. Section headings are included for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of any provision.
NON-WAIVER
No failure or delay by Cherrypicker in exercising any right, remedy, or provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver thereof. Any waiver must be in writing to be effective. The waiver of any breach or default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND CHERRYPICKER AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.
If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this section is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision shall be deemed null and void in its entirety, and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
TERMINATION
Cherrypicker may suspend or terminate Your access to the Services or Your account at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. In the event You are a Client and are in material breach of this Agreement, Cherrypicker will provide written notice and a thirty (30) day opportunity to cure such breach, where applicable. Failure to cure the breach within the provided timeframe will result in immediate termination of access to the Service.
If You are a Candidate, You may terminate this Agreement at any time by closing Your account. Upon termination, all rights and obligations of the parties that by their nature should survive termination shall remain in effect, including but not limited to provisions related to ownership, indemnity, limitation of liability, and any accrued payment obligations.
GOVERNING LAW
This Agreement, and any dispute arising out of or related to it, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. You agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located in New York, NY for the purpose of litigating any claim or dispute not subject to arbitration as set forth in the “Dispute Resolution” section of this Agreement.
MODIFICATION OF TERMS
Cherrypicker reserves the right to modify or update these Terms of Use at any time. When changes are made, We will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document.

Credits issued under an Introduction Credit Subscription will expire at the end of the subscription term unless otherwise stated. If a Client renews their subscription, any remaining unused Credits will roll over and remain valid for the term of the renewed agreement.

HIRING PLATFORM TERMS OF USE
Once a Client is registered and approved by Cherrypicker, they gain access to the Hiring Platform and may:
- Browse available Candidate profiles (limited view)
- Submit non-binding Introduction Requests
- Distribute job opportunities to Candidates
- Communicate directly with Candidates upon profile unlock
By using the Service, Clients agree to submit all Introduction Requests exclusively through the Cherrypicker platform. Upon unlocking a Candidate’s full profile (following the Candidate’s consent), Clients and Candidates may continue communication by any means they mutually agree upon.
Important Disclaimer:
CHERRYPICKER DOES NOT CONDUCT BACKGROUND CHECKS OR VERIFY USER STATEMENTS.
YOU AGREE THAT IT IS YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY TO PERFORM ANY BACKGROUND CHECKS, REFERENCE CHECKS, OR OTHER DUE DILIGENCE PRIOR TO HIRING A CANDIDATE.
Candidate and Client Responsibilities
Candidate Non-Circumvention:
Candidates discovered on the Service agree not to bypass the Cherrypicker platform by initiating direct communication with Clients outside the platform post discovery.
Introduction Requests and Mutual Interest:
When a Client submits an Introduction Request, they are expressing Initial Interest in a Candidate. A Candidate may respond via the Cherrypicker Mobile App to express Mutual Interest, thereby granting the Client permission to unlock their full profile.
Mutual Interest is defined as the Candidate’s affirmative response that:
- Grants the Client the right to view their full profile;
- Represents that the Candidate has not applied to the Client’s company within the past 180 days; and
- Commits the Candidate to participate in at least one first-round video or in-person interview if requested.
Please Note:
- Mutual Interest does not obligate the Client to unlock the Candidate’s profile, proceed with an interview, or extend an offer.
- Introduction Requests can not be withdrawn by Clients at any time prior to Mutual Interest being expressed.
- Cherrypicker cannot manually unlock Candidate profiles—only Candidates can provide such consent.
Prohibited Conduct:
If a Candidate or Client attempts to initiate unauthorized communication, misrepresents prior application history, or violates these Terms, Cherrypicker reserves the right to suspend or permanently remove the offending party from the Service.
INTRODUCTION CREDITS EXPLAINED
“Introduction Credit(s)” are digital tokens, purchased either individually directly on the Cherrypicker platform or in bulk through a Cherrypicker Sales Representative via Cherrypicker’s approved third-party integrated payment system. These Credits are used exclusively by Clients to initiate Cherrypicker’s proprietary proactive recruiting process and unlock a Candidate’s full profile after Mutual Interest has been established on the Cherrypicker Hiring Platform.
Unlocking a Candidate Profile Requires All of the Following:
- Initial Interest by the Client
A Client must first express Initial Interest in a Candidate either by:- Sending an Introduction Request through the platform; or
- Posting a job on the Service that algorithmically matches the Candidate’s profile.
- Mutual Interest by the Candidate
A Candidate must then affirm interest by:- Accepting the Client’s Introduction Request; or
- Indicating interest in a job match received via the Cherrypicker Mobile App.
Important Note:
Clients may search the Hiring Platform and preview limited Candidate details. However, they may not unlock a Candidate’s full profile until Mutual Interest is confirmed.
Introduction Credits are consumed in the following fashion:
-
- When a Client sends an Introduction Request to a Candidate
- When a Client unlocks a Candidate Profile who has shown Mutual Interest to a job posting.
CHERRYPICKER SEARCH SERVICE TERMS OF USE
The Cherrypicker Search Service (also referred to as “Cherrypicker Search” or “Cherrypicked Ventures LLC”) is a specialized executive search service operated in direct affiliation with Cherrypicker Inc. This service is designed to support Clients who are unable to locate qualified candidates through the Hiring Platform and wish to engage Cherrypicker’s recruitment team to conduct a targeted search.
Engagement Requirements
- All Clients utilizing Cherrypicker Search must enter into a formal Cherrypicker Search Agreement prior to engagement.
- This Agreement will outline the scope of services, fee structure, and specific terms applicable to the Client’s unique search needs.
Staffing Partnerships
- Cherrypicker may partner with approved Third-Party recruiting firms to fulfill the obligations of the Cherrypicker Search Service.
- These Third-Party partners act on behalf of Cherrypicker and are bound by confidentiality and service-level agreements.
Limitations
While Cherrypicker and its partners will make commercially reasonable efforts to identify and present qualified candidates:
- We do not guarantee that a suitable candidate will be found.
- All final hiring decisions remain solely at the discretion of the Client.
Clients are advised to review the terms outlined in their Cherrypicker Search Agreement and/or Service Agreement for additional details regarding timelines, responsibilities, and fees related to the Cherrypicker Search engagement.
CHERRYPICKER SEARCH CANDIDATE OWNERSHIP TERMS
Any Candidate referred to a Client by a Recruiter through the Cherrypicker Search Service is considered the property of Cherrypicker for a period of three hundred sixty-five (365) days from the date of referral. If the Client hires that Candidate at any time during this period—whether for a full-time, part-time, or contract role—the Client agrees to pay a Cherrypicker Search Placement Fee in accordance with the terms outlined in the applicable Cherrypicker Search Service Agreement.
Prior Candidate Contact Clause
In the unlikely event that a Client has previously identified a Candidate through their own recruiting efforts but has not engaged in an interview or substantive hiring process with that Candidate within the past three (3) months, and the Candidate is subsequently referred through Cherrypicker and hired, Cherrypicker will be credited with the placement and is entitled to the full Placement Fee. It is agreed that, absent Cherrypicker’s involvement, the hire would not have occurred.
Fee Structure
- The Placement Fee is calculated as a percentage of the Candidate’s first-year base salary or prorated contractor compensation, as agreed upon in the Search Agreement.
- The Client must provide Cherrypicker with a copy of the executed offer letter that includes:
- Candidate’s full name
- Job title
- Start date
- Base salary or compensation
- Any other relevant metadata pertaining to the role
Recruiter Compensation
- The Recruiter who introduced the Candidate to Cherrypicker will receive their share of the Placement Fee in accordance with their Service Agreement with Cherrypicker Inc.
Conflicts Between Services
- If a Client unlocks a Candidate through the Cherrypicker Hiring Platform before receiving a referral from the Cherrypicker Search Service, the hire will be governed by the Hiring Platform Terms.
- If a Candidate is first presented via Cherrypicker Search, and is later unlocked by the Client on the Hiring Marketplace, the Search Service Terms and Fees will apply.
Non-Disclosure of Hires
- If a Client hires a Candidate referred through Cherrypicker Search and fails to notify Cherrypicker of the hire within thirty (30) days, Cherrypicker reserves the right to terminate the Client’s account and pursue the full Placement Fee, as per the Search Agreement.
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENTS
Clients who enter into a Subscription Agreement with Cherrypicker (individually, a “Subscription Client” and collectively, “Subscription Clients”) agree to pay a subscription fee (the “Subscription Fee”) for a defined term length (the “Subscription Period”) as outlined in the applicable Subscription Agreement. All applicable state and local taxes (including sales, use, excise, value-added, and similar taxes) will be invoiced separately from the Subscription Fee.
During the Subscription Period, Subscription Clients receive access to premium features, including the ability to:
- Post job openings;
- Browse and search Candidate profiles on the Hiring Platform;
- Send non-binding Introduction Requests (defined as an expression of Initial Interest);
- Receive and view Candidates who express Mutual Interest;
- Unlock Candidate profiles using Introduction Credits (defined in these Terms); and
- Extend Job Offers (defined as offers of employment or contractor engagements) to Candidates found through the Service.
- Utilize Cherrypicker’s menu of professional services add-ons
Each Subscription Agreement will specify:
- The number of Introduction Credits issued during the Subscription Period;
- Whether the Subscription includes any bundled professional services add-ons (including but not limited to: sourcing, recruitment automation consulting, Cherrypicker Search Services);
- The pricing for additional Introduction Credits (bulk discounts may apply).
Payment Authorization: Clients may be required to complete a Direct Debit Authorization Form to allow Cherrypicker to automatically withdraw monthly Subscription Fees. By agreeing to these Terms, the Client authorizes Cherrypicker to initiate recurring charges without additional notice or consent. Clients are responsible for notifying Cherrypicker immediately of any changes to billing information.
- The Candidate’s name;
Out-of-Scope Hires: Standard Placement Fees will apply for any Candidate hires made:
- Outside the Subscription Period; or
- Outside the scope of the Subscription Agreement (e.g., for roles or Candidate types not included in the agreed Subscription terms).
If You do not agree with these Terms, You must cease use of the Service and terminate Your account. YOUR OBLIGATION TO PAY ANY SUCCESS FEES SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
AUTHORIZED USERS AND DEVICES
Clients will receive login credentials to access the Cherrypicker Service. These credentials may be shared only with employees of the Client’s organization, such as talent acquisition professionals and hiring managers (each an “Authorized User”). Authorized Users may post jobs, send Introduction Requests, interact with Candidates, and extend Job Offers through the Service.
Each purchased license must be assigned to a designated Authorized User. The Client agrees not to share any Authorized User’s login credentials with any individual outside of its organization. If an Authorized User leaves the company, takes leave, or changes roles, the license may be reassigned to another employee, subject to Cherrypicker’s right to limit excessive license transfers.
If Cherrypicker determines that any license is being shared with an Unauthorized User (defined as any user who accesses the Service without a valid, assigned license), such action will constitute a material breach of this Agreement. In such case, Cherrypicker reserves the right to invoice the Client for the unauthorized usage at a rate equal to 1.5x the prorated cost of each improperly accessed license.
Device Access and Browser Sessions
Authorized Users may access the Service from multiple devices or browser sessions simultaneously. At the time this Agreement was executed, there is no limit on concurrent browser logins per Authorized User within a single Client organization.
The Hiring Platform is designed to be collaboratively accessed by hiring stakeholders within a Client’s organization. However, each Client organization must have a valid assigned license unless otherwise permitted in writing by Cherrypicker.
Adding Additional Seats
Clients may request additional licenses at any time during the active Service term. Upon written notice and prompt payment of the applicable invoice, Cherrypicker will provision the requested number of licenses. The cost for such seats will be prorated based on the remaining duration of the current term, and billed according to the applicable pricing set forth in the Client’s Subscription or Order Form.
INTRODUCTION CREDIT REFUND POLICY
Due to third-party data enrichment and proactive outreach costs, all sales are final. Credits are non-refundable, and Cherrypicker retains full discretion in issuing replacement credits.
We work diligently to ensure Candidates on our platform are responsive, qualified, and actively represented by Recruiters. If a Candidate fails to respond to outreach, Cherrypicker may review their account and take internal action as needed, but no refund will be issued.
Clients are encouraged to report unresponsive Candidates so we can uphold the integrity of our Hiring Platform.
If a Candidate’s profile contains invalid contact data (e.g., email bounces, wrong phone number), Cherrypicker may issue a replacement Introduction Credit at its sole discretion.
To qualify for a replacement, the Client must report the issue within seven (7) days of unlocking the Candidate. Cherrypicker will investigate and determine if the data is materially incorrect.
