What is Coolabahly?

A recruitment advertising and introduction service run from Mount Barker, South Australia. Coolabahly publishes home-based roles for employers and passes on applications. Coolabahly does not employ, schedule, supervise or pay applicants.

How Coolabahly is funded

Employers pay Coolabahly for advertising and introductions. Nobody applying through Coolabahly pays anything, whether for applying, training or a deposit.

Does Coolabahly check employers?

Before a listing goes live, Coolabahly speaks with the employer directly and checks that the listing reflects the information provided.

Limits of those checks

Coolabahly's checks are not audits. Coolabahly does not visit workplaces, examine employer finances or oversee work after a person starts.

Can Coolabahly guarantee a job or income?

Coolabahly makes no promise of a job, earnings, hours or when payment will occur. Confirm these in writing with the employer before you begin a Coolabahly role.

Source of roles

Every role on coolabahly.com comes straight from an employer. Coolabahly does not repost other sites' listings or advertise roles simply to gather contact information.

How can I spot someone misusing Coolabahly's name?

Requests for payment, SMS codes, banking logins or money transfers do not come from Coolabahly. Treat them as impersonation and report them to careers@coolabahly.com.

Handling applications

Applications are reviewed by Coolabahly HR and shared only with the employer for your selected role. Coolabahly never sells them or uses them for marketing, and the Privacy Policy lists all services involved.

What if a Coolabahly ad says something different?

Coolabahly's ads should match coolabahly.com. Send Coolabahly the ad and it will investigate and correct whichever is wrong.

What do employers agree to with Coolabahly?

Employers listing with Coolabahly agree to describe roles accurately, update Coolabahly quickly when roles fill, provide written terms before work begins and pay their workers themselves. An employer caught asking a Coolabahly applicant to pay anything is taken off the site.

Training

No, not at Coolabahly. Any training linked to a Coolabahly role is free to applicants and is meant only to explain how the work is done. Coolabahly will never sell courses, starter kits or materials as a condition of applying, and an employer that tries to do so is removed from coolabahly.com.

What does Coolabahly say about hours and devices?

Coolabahly describes roles as flexible and suitable for a phone based on what employers report. The employer sets the real arrangements; if those differ from what coolabahly.com says, let Coolabahly know at careers@coolabahly.com and the listing will be fixed.

How does Coolabahly protect applicants' privacy?

Only the information needed to process an application is collected by Coolabahly, it is shared solely with the relevant employer and it is never sold. The Coolabahly Privacy Policy sets out the details and your rights to access or remove it.

Why does Coolabahly use WhatsApp?

Coolabahly uses WhatsApp because it lets applicants get answers quickly. You start the conversation yourself, and Coolabahly does not send unsolicited messages. Email at careers@coolabahly.com is available for anyone who prefers not to use WhatsApp.
