Terms & Conditions

Hire Ground competition · last updated July 2026

1. Organiser. This competition is run by Starred, headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark ("Starred", "we", "us").

2. Eligibility. Open to talent acquisition and recruitment professionals aged 18 or over.

3. How to enter. Play the Hire Ground game and submit your real first name, last name, business email, job title and company on the leaderboard form. Entry is free and no purchase is necessary. Each person may appear on the leaderboard only once; your highest score counts.

4. Competition period. Entries are accepted until the end of September 2026. Entries recorded after that time do not count.

5. Prize. The prize is a €1,000 voucher. There is no cash alternative and the prize is non-transferable. Any taxes or charges arising from acceptance of the prize are the winner's responsibility.

6. Winner selection. The eligible entrant with the highest verified score at the close of the competition wins. As scores are submitted from the player's device, Starred may verify a score and disqualify entries that appear automated, manipulated or fraudulent. The winner is contacted at the email address provided and must respond within 14 days; if they do not, Starred may award the prize to the next eligible entrant.

7. Your data & privacy. Starred is the data controller for the personal data you provide (name, business email, job title, company and score). We use it to run the competition and contact the winner, and — because you have agreed when entering — to send you relevant marketing about Starred, which you can unsubscribe from at any time. Your data is processed on our behalf by our hosting providers, stored securely, and kept no longer than necessary. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data at any time. See Starred's privacy statement or contact legal@starred.com.

8. General. Starred may amend, suspend or cancel this competition where reasonably necessary, and is not responsible for entries lost or not recorded due to technical issues. These terms are governed by the laws of Denmark.
