Community Guidelines

Athletic Trainer Finder exists to strengthen the athletic training profession.

Every feature we build, every employer we work with, and every conversation we facilitate is guided by one question:

Does this make the profession stronger?

These guidelines help us create a community where athletic trainers and employers can connect professionally, respectfully, and honestly.

Our Community Values

We believe in:

• Transparency
• Professionalism
• Respect
• Honest communication
• Constructive feedback
• Continuous improvement

Disagreement is welcome. Personal attacks are not.

For Athletic Trainers

We ask that you:

• Keep your profile accurate and up to date.
• Represent your credentials honestly.
• Communicate professionally with employers.
• Provide respectful and constructive feedback.
• Respect employer confidentiality.
• Report inaccurate or misleading job postings.

You are never required to pursue an opportunity that isn't right for you.

If you decline an opportunity, we encourage you to tell employers why. Thoughtful feedback helps employers improve and ultimately strengthens the profession.

For Employers

We ask that employers:

• Represent opportunities honestly.
• Be transparent about compensation whenever possible.
• Treat every athletic trainer with professionalism and respect.
• Respond to candidates in a timely manner.
• Respect candidate privacy.
• Use candidate information only for legitimate hiring purposes.

Athletic trainers are professionals—not leads to be collected.

Respect Privacy

• Athletic trainers control when identifying information is shared.
• Do not attempt to identify anonymous candidates outside the Platform.
• Do not share another user's personal information without permission.

No Harassment

Harassment, discrimination, intimidation, retaliation, or abusive behavior will not be tolerated.

This includes behavior based on race, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, national origin, or any other protected characteristic.

Honest Feedback Makes Everyone Better

Athletic Trainer Finder encourages respectful feedback.

Constructive feedback helps:

• Employers improve hiring.
• Athletic trainers make informed decisions.
• The profession continue moving forward.

Feedback should always be truthful, respectful, and intended to improve—not to embarrass or attack others.

Integrity Matters

Do not:

• Create fake accounts.
• Misrepresent your credentials.
• Misrepresent an employer.
• Misrepresent a job opportunity.
• Attempt to manipulate Platform features.

Trust is one of our most valuable assets.

Help Us Improve

This Platform will never be perfect.

It has improved because of the athletic training community, and it will continue to improve because of your ideas.

If you see something that could be better, tell us at atcfinder@gmail.com.

Your feedback matters.

Our Commitment

Athletic Trainer Finder reserves the right to remove content, listings, employers, or users whose conduct is inconsistent with these guidelines or the mission of the Platform.

We would rather have a smaller community built on trust than a larger community without it.

Thank you for helping us build something that strengthens the athletic training profession.
