The Insider’s Agreement

Before being connected to users on Insidery, all Insiders must accept our Insider’s Agreement.

This is to help ensure all Insiders know the expectations and responsibilities of being on the platform.

If you have questions or would like to know more about our safety policies, email us at careers@commscouncil.nz.

By joining Insidery as an Insider, you acknowledge and accept the following:

  • Your behaviour will be ethical, professional and responsible at all times. Specific details discussed between yourself and all users will be kept confidential.

  • As an Insider, you agree to act in the following ways:

    • 1) We speak from the point of view of our own personal experiences
      (i.e., not on behalf of our employers; if we lead and/or own companies, we may speak from that point of view)

    • 2) We share our honest perspectives
      (i.e., the good, the not-so-good, the challenges, the rewards - we don’t sell an unrealistic dream, but honestly share whatever we feel comfortable with)

    • 3) We’re open and approachable
      (i.e., we work to make the calls as comfortable as possible, to help the users we speak to get the insight they need from us in the time we have with them)

  • You should contact the Insidery team if you feel uncomfortable with the behaviour of the people you speak to, or are concerned about their safety.

  • Your email address will be made available to users for the purposes of connecting with them via video call only and any follow-up contact that you agree to. Users are asked to hold all non-public information about you and any associated businesses in strictest confidence, and not share further unless you grant them permission to do so.

  • You must not offer or accept any outside monetary remuneration as a result of the connections you make via Insidery.

    If an opportunity for work experience for the user(s) you meet arises, you must notify the Insidery team. You must also comply with your organisation's relevant legal and operational employment policies and procedures.

    You may direct users towards job listings, graduate programmes, potential employers to contact, and other opportunities as you see fit and feel comfortable with.

  • You may end the relationship with any users at any time. User expectations are set initially at one 30min video call only - anything additional is up to you as the Insider.
