Depend­ing on the rel­e­vant cir­cum­stances and applic­a­ble local laws and require­ments, we may col­lect some or all of the infor­ma­tion list­ed below to enable us to assess how we can assist you if we rea­son­ably believe you might be inter­est­ed in, or might ben­e­fit from our ser­vices, and to offer you employ­ment oppor­tu­ni­ties which are tai­lored to your cir­cum­stances and your inter­ests.

In some juris­dic­tions, we are restrict­ed from pro­cess­ing some of the data out­lined below. In such cas­es, we will only process the data in those juris­dic­tions to the extent and under the cir­cum­stances per­mit­ted by law.

Please note that the above list of cat­e­gories of per­son­al data we col­lect is not exhaus­tive.

To the extent that you access our web­site or click through any links in an email from us, we will also col­lect cer­tain data from you. If you would like more infor­ma­tion about this, please refer to the con­text-spe­cif­ic sec­tion of this Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy that applies to Web­site Users.

We col­lect Can­di­date per­son­al data in the fol­low­ing ways:

• Per­son­al data that you, the Can­di­date, give to us;
• Per­son­al data that we receive from oth­er sources; and
• Per­son­al data that we col­lect auto­mat­i­cal­ly.

Per­son­al Data You Give To Us

Con­tau­ro needs to know cer­tain infor­ma­tion about you in order to pro­vide you with its ser­vices. This will enable us, amongst oth­er things, to pro­vide you with the best oppor­tu­ni­ties, and should save you time in not hav­ing to trawl through infor­ma­tion about jobs and ser­vices that are not rel­e­vant to you.

There are numer­ous ways you can share your infor­ma­tion with us. These may include:

• Enter­ing your details on the Con­tau­ro web­site or via an appli­ca­tion form, as part of the reg­is­tra­tion process;
• Leav­ing a hard copy CV at a Con­tau­ro recruit­ment event, job fair or office;
• Email­ing your CV or oth­er infor­ma­tion to a Con­tau­ro con­sul­tant or being inter­viewed by them;
• Apply­ing for jobs through a job aggre­ga­tor, which then redi­rects you to the Con­tau­ro web­site;
• Enter­ing your per­son­al details into a Con­tau­ro microsite; or
• Enter­ing a com­pe­ti­tion through a social media chan­nel such as Face­book or Twit­ter (or sim­i­lar).

The types of infor­ma­tion that we receive from you in this way include:

• Key iden­ti­fi­ca­tion and con­tact infor­ma­tion;
• Edu­ca­tion and employ­ment infor­ma­tion;
• Finan­cial infor­ma­tion;
• Spe­cial cat­e­go­ry infor­ma­tion;
• Crim­i­nal con­vic­tion data, and
• Addi­tion­al infor­ma­tion that you choose to tell us,

as described in the sec­tion enti­tled “What Kind of Per­son­al Infor­ma­tion Do We Col­lect?” above.

Per­son­al Data We Receive From Oth­er Sources

We also receive per­son­al data about Can­di­dates from oth­er sources. Depend­ing on the rel­e­vant cir­cum­stances and applic­a­ble local laws and require­ments, this will involve per­son­al data received in the fol­low­ing sit­u­a­tions:

• When we search for Can­di­dates via third par­ty sources, such as LinkedIn and oth­er job sites, from which we obtain your per­son­al infor­ma­tion and/or when we car­ry out oth­er pre-recruit­ment activ­i­ties (please refer to the sec­tion enti­tled “Pre-recruit­ment activ­i­ties” below);
• Your ref­er­ees may dis­close per­son­al infor­ma­tion about you;
• Our Clients, Sup­pli­ers, oth­er Can­di­dates and our col­leagues with­in Con­tau­ro (e.g. in the con­text of them mak­ing a refer­ral) may share per­son­al infor­ma­tion about you with us;
• If we receive your per­son­al infor­ma­tion from Face­book or Twit­ter, if you ‘like’ our Face­book page or ‘fol­low’ us on Twit­ter (or per­form a sim­i­lar inter­ac­tion with us on any social media plat­form on which we have a pres­ence); and
• If you were referred to us through an RPO or an MSP sup­pli­er, they may share per­son­al infor­ma­tion about you with us.

Per­son­al Data We Col­lect Auto­mat­i­cal­ly

To the extent that you access our web­site or read or click on an email from us, where appro­pri­ate and in accor­dance with any local laws and require­ments, we will also col­lect your data auto­mat­i­cal­ly (e.g. via web­site track­ing scripts such as cook­ies or pix­els) or through you pro­vid­ing it to us. For more infor­ma­tion, please refer to the con­text-spe­cif­ic sec­tion of this Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy that applies to Web­site Users.

The types of infor­ma­tion that we col­lect about you in this way includes the “Auto­mat­i­cal­ly col­lect­ed infor­ma­tion” described in the sec­tion enti­tled “What Kind of Per­son­al Infor­ma­tion Do We Col­lect?” above.

We gen­er­al­ly use Can­di­date data in five ways:

• Pre-recruit­ment Activ­i­ties;
• Recruit­ment Activ­i­ties;
• Mar­ket­ing Activ­i­ties;
• Equal Oppor­tu­ni­ties Mon­i­tor­ing; and
• To help us to estab­lish, exer­cise or defend legal claims.

In appro­pri­ate cir­cum­stances, we also use Can­di­date data for Pro­fil­ing.

Pre-recruit­ment Activ­i­ties

When con­duct­ing pre-recruit­ment activ­i­ties, we use your data to work out whether you might be inter­est­ed in, or might ben­e­fit from, our ser­vices, and to assess whether and how we might be able to assist you. If we think we can help, we will use your con­tact details to get in touch with you and find out if you are inter­est­ed in our ser­vices (usu­al­ly via email), sub­ject to any applic­a­ble laws and require­ments.

In order for us to do this, we may:

• Col­lect your per­son­al data;
• Store your details (and update them when nec­es­sary) on our data­base so that we can con­tact you about our ser­vices;
• Send you an email to inform you about our pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data and to direct you towards this Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy;
• Review your infor­ma­tion to work out whether and how our ser­vices might help you; and
• Con­tact you about our ser­vices.

Please note that this list is not exhaus­tive.

We will use your per­son­al data for these pur­pos­es if we deem this to be nec­es­sary for our legit­i­mate inter­ests or in accor­dance with applic­a­ble employ­ment law.

If you are not hap­py about this, you have the right to object and can find out more about how to do so by refer­ring to the sec­tion enti­tled “How can you access, amend or take back the per­son­al data that you have giv­en to us” in the Gen­er­al Pri­va­cy Infor­ma­tion sec­tion of this Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy.

Please note that in cer­tain of the juris­dic­tions in which we oper­ate, we com­ply with addi­tion­al local law require­ments. For more infor­ma­tion in rela­tion to your juris­dic­tion, please read here.

Recruit­ment Activ­i­ties;

One of our major area of work is recruit­ment – con­nect­ing the right Can­di­dates with the right jobs. We have list­ed below var­i­ous ways in which we will use and process your per­son­al data for this pur­pose, where appro­pri­ate and in accor­dance with any local laws and require­ments. Please note that this list is not exhaus­tive.

• Col­lect­ing your data from you and oth­er sources, such as LinkedIn;
• Stor­ing your details (and updat­ing them when nec­es­sary) on our data­base, so that we can con­tact you in rela­tion to recruit­ment;
• Pro­vid­ing you with our recruit­ment ser­vices and to facil­i­tate the recruit­ment process;
• Assess­ing data about you against vacan­cies which we think may be suit­able for you;
• Send­ing your infor­ma­tion to Clients, in order to apply for jobs or to assess your eli­gi­bil­i­ty for jobs;
• Enabling you to sub­mit your CV, apply online for jobs or to sub­scribe to alerts about jobs;
• Record­ing your ques­tion and answer ses­sions and/or video inter­views to sup­port our recruit­ment ser­vices (with the record­ings being analysed for training/monitoring pur­pos­es and/or shared with Clients and viewed via a secure third par­ty plat­form)
• Mak­ing video record­ings of your par­tic­i­pa­tion in train­ing ses­sions or meet­ings for inter­nal training/monitoring pur­pos­es and/or mon­i­tor­ing inter­nal com­pli­ance stan­dards
• Allow­ing you to par­tic­i­pate in spe­cial­ist online train­ing;
• Allow­ing you to par­tic­i­pate in the inter­ac­tive fea­tures of our ser­vices, when you choose to do so;
• Car­ry­ing out our oblig­a­tions aris­ing from any con­tracts entered into between us;
• Car­ry­ing out our oblig­a­tions aris­ing from any con­tracts entered into between Con­tau­ro and third par­ties in rela­tion to your recruit­ment;
• Facil­i­tat­ing our pay­roll and invoic­ing process­es;
• Car­ry­ing out cus­tomer sat­is­fac­tion sur­veys;
• Ver­i­fy­ing details you have pro­vid­ed, using third par­ty resources (such as psy­cho­me­t­ric eval­u­a­tions or skills tests), or to request infor­ma­tion (such as ref­er­ences, qual­i­fi­ca­tions and poten­tial­ly any crim­i­nal con­vic­tions, to the extent that this is appro­pri­ate and in accor­dance with local laws);
• Com­ply­ing with our legal oblig­a­tions in con­nec­tion with the detec­tion of crime or the col­lec­tion of tax­es or duties; and
• Pro­cess­ing your data to enable us to send you tar­get­ed, rel­e­vant mar­ket­ing mate­ri­als or oth­er com­mu­ni­ca­tions, which we think, are like­ly to be of inter­est to you.

We will use your per­son­al data for these pur­pos­es if we deem this to be nec­es­sary for our legit­i­mate inter­ests or in accor­dance with applic­a­ble employ­ment law.

If you are not hap­py about this, you have the right to object and can find out more about how to do so by refer­ring to the sec­tion enti­tled “How can you access, amend or take back the per­son­al data that you have giv­en to us” in the Gen­er­al Pri­va­cy Infor­ma­tion sec­tion of this Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy.

Please note that in cer­tain of the juris­dic­tions in which we oper­ate, we com­ply with addi­tion­al local law require­ments. For more infor­ma­tion in rela­tion to your juris­dic­tion, please read here.

Mar­ket­ing Activ­i­ties

We may peri­od­i­cal­ly send you infor­ma­tion that we think you may find inter­est­ing, or to ask for your help with con­nect­ing oth­er Can­di­dates with jobs. In par­tic­u­lar, we may use your data for the pur­pos­es list­ed below, where appro­pri­ate and in accor­dance with any local laws and require­ments. Please note that this list is not exhaus­tive. To:

• enable us to devel­op and mar­ket oth­er prod­ucts and ser­vices;
• mar­ket our full range of recruit­ment ser­vices (per­ma­nent, tem­po­rary, con­tract, out­place­ment and RPO ser­vices) to you;
• send you details of reports, pro­mo­tions, offers, net­work­ing and client events, and gen­er­al infor­ma­tion about the indus­try sec­tors which we think might be of inter­est to you;
• dis­play pro­mo­tion­al excerpts from your details on Contauro’s website(s) as a suc­cess sto­ry (only where we have obtained your express con­sent to do so); and
• pro­vide you with infor­ma­tion about cer­tain dis­counts and offers that you are eli­gi­ble for by virtue of your rela­tion­ship with Con­tau­ro.

We need your con­sent for some aspects of these activ­i­ties which are not cov­ered by our legit­i­mate inter­ests (in par­tic­u­lar, the col­lec­tion of data via cook­ies, and the deliv­ery of direct mar­ket­ing to you through dig­i­tal chan­nels) and, depend­ing on the sit­u­a­tion, we’ll ask for this via an explic­it opt-in con­sent or soft-opt-in (which we explain fur­ther below). Please note that in cer­tain of the juris­dic­tions in which we oper­ate, we com­ply with addi­tion­al local law require­ments. For more infor­ma­tion in rela­tion to your juris­dic­tion, please read below.

Soft opt-in con­sent is a spe­cif­ic type of con­sent which applies where you have pre­vi­ous­ly engaged with us (for exam­ple by sub­mit­ting a job appli­ca­tion or CV, or reg­is­ter­ing a vacan­cy to be filled), and we are mar­ket­ing oth­er recruit­ment-relat­ed ser­vices. Under ’soft opt-in’ con­sent, we will take your con­sent as giv­en unless or until you opt out. For most peo­ple, this is ben­e­fi­cial as it allows us to sug­gest oth­er jobs to you along­side the spe­cif­ic one you applied for, sig­nif­i­cant­ly increas­ing the like­li­hood of us find­ing you a new posi­tion.

For oth­er types of e‑marketing, we are required to obtain your explic­it con­sent. If you want to know more about how we obtain con­sent, please read below. If you are not hap­py about our approach to mar­ket­ing, you have the right to with­draw your con­sent at any time and can find out more about how to do so below. Nobody’s per­fect, even though we try to be. We want to let you know that even if you have opt­ed out from our mar­ket­ing com­mu­ni­ca­tions through our pref­er­ence cen­tre, it is pos­si­ble that your details may be recap­tured through pub­lic sources in an uncon­nect­ed mar­ket­ing cam­paign. We will try to make sure this does­n’t hap­pen, but if it does, we’re sor­ry. We’d just ask that in those cir­cum­stances you opt out again.

Equal Oppor­tu­ni­ties Mon­i­tor­ing And Oth­er Sen­si­tive Per­son­al Data

We are com­mit­ted to ensur­ing that our recruit­ment process­es are aligned with our approach to equal oppor­tu­ni­ties. Some of the data we may (in appro­pri­ate cir­cum­stances and in accor­dance with local law and require­ments) col­lect about you comes under the umbrel­la of “diver­si­ty infor­ma­tion”. This could be infor­ma­tion about your eth­nic back­ground, gen­der, dis­abil­i­ty, age, sex­u­al ori­en­ta­tion, reli­gion or oth­er sim­i­lar beliefs, and/or social-eco­nom­ic back­ground. Where appro­pri­ate and in accor­dance with local laws and require­ments, we will use this infor­ma­tion on an anonymised basis to mon­i­tor our com­pli­ance with our equal oppor­tu­ni­ties pol­i­cy. We may also dis­close this (suit­ably anonymised where rel­e­vant) data to Clients where this is con­trac­tu­al­ly required or the Client specif­i­cal­ly requests such infor­ma­tion to enable them to com­ply with their own employ­ment process­es.

This infor­ma­tion is what is called ’sen­si­tive’ per­son­al infor­ma­tion and slight­ly stricter data pro­tec­tion rules apply to it. We there­fore need to obtain your explic­it con­sent before we can use it. We will ask for your con­sent by offer­ing you an opt-in. This means that you have to explic­it­ly and clear­ly tell us that you agree to us col­lect­ing and using this infor­ma­tion.

We may col­lect oth­er sen­si­tive per­son­al infor­ma­tion par­tic­u­lar­ly sen­si­tive per­son­al data about you, such as data about reli­gious, ide­o­log­i­cal, polit­i­cal or trade union views or activ­i­ties; health, pri­va­cy or racial or eth­nic affil­i­a­tion; social assis­tance mea­sures; admin­is­tra­tive and crim­i­nal pros­e­cu­tions or sanc­tions; genet­ic and bio­met­ric data that unique­ly iden­ti­fies a nat­ur­al per­son when per­mit­ted by local law and required for the job for which you wish to apply. We will nev­er do this with­out your explic­it con­sent.

If you would like to find out more about con­sent, please read below. Please note that in cer­tain of the juris­dic­tions in which we oper­ate, dif­fer­ent rules apply to this sen­si­tive data. For more infor­ma­tion in rela­tion to your juris­dic­tion, please read below.

To Help Us To Estab­lish, Exer­cise Or Defend Legal Claims

In more unusu­al cir­cum­stances, we may use your per­son­al data to help us to estab­lish, exer­cise or defend legal claims.

Pro­fil­ing, Algo­rithms and Auto­mat­ed Deci­sion Mak­ing

Pro­fil­ing is a type of pro­cess­ing activ­i­ty which enables us bet­ter to under­stand the infor­ma­tion that we col­lect about you, to help us to devel­op a per­son­alised “pro­file” for you. This helps us to gain a bet­ter idea of how you like to inter­act with us and our ser­vices, the sorts of requests you like to make of us and, of course, the sorts of things you don’t like. The pur­pose of our build­ing this per­son­alised pro­file is to enable us to pro­vide the best pos­si­ble ser­vice to you and max­imise the chances that we will be able quick­ly and effi­cient­ly to pro­vide you with access to con­tent that is most like­ly to be rel­e­vant and help­ful to you.

We may use pro­fil­ing meth­ods in rela­tion to your per­son­al data for the pur­pos­es list­ed below, if we con­sid­er this is nec­es­sary for our legit­i­mate inter­ests and in accor­dance with any local laws and require­ments. Please note that this list is not exhaus­tive.

• Per­son­al­is­ing Can­di­dates’ web­site expe­ri­ence, includ­ing in rela­tion to the roles that are brought to their atten­tion when vis­it­ing the web­site;
• Mak­ing rec­om­men­da­tions for edi­to­r­i­al con­tent that we think may be of inter­est to Can­di­dates (e.g. reports about devel­op­ments in their indus­try);
• Per­son­al­is­ing the mar­ket­ing con­tent that Can­di­dates receive via the web­site, email and oth­er mar­ket­ing chan­nels (where they have con­sent­ed to that mar­ket­ing);
• Place suit­able Can­di­dates on short­lists for par­tic­u­lar roles based on pre­scribed cri­te­ria, which will allow our con­sul­tants to iden­ti­fy the most appro­pri­ate Can­di­dates for roles in the most effi­cient man­ner effi­cient­ly;
• Rec­om­mend roles based on how a Candidate’s inter­ests, habits, attrib­ut­es and/or pref­er­ences, rank in com­par­i­son to oth­er Can­di­dates;
• Cap­ture and analyse Can­di­dates’ web-based behav­iours using var­i­ous items of data e.g. num­ber of job ads read/applied for online, num­ber and type of arti­cles read, num­ber of web vis­its made, mem­ber­ship of “tal­ent pools”/segments – see below) in order to award a Can­di­date a weight­ed “approach­a­bil­i­ty score” with a view to pro­vid­ing insights into Can­di­dates’ needs and to allow us to fol­low up where need­ed;
• Short­list­ing and rank­ing activ­i­ties described in more detail below and as a fac­tor in deter­min­ing whether to approach/show roles to a Can­di­date, which will serve to sup­ple­ment oth­er data that Con­tau­ro holds about the Can­di­date;
• Analysing Can­di­dates’ data by con­tin­u­ous­ly track­ing and mon­i­tor­ing their expe­ri­ence and account activ­i­ty in order to pro­file them and allo­cate them to “tal­ent pools” based on their attrib­ut­es and behav­iours (e.g. pre­vi­ous roles, skills, indus­try expe­ri­ence, loca­tion, when a Can­di­date is will­ing to work). Tal­ent pools are used as a means of man­ag­ing the Can­di­date data­base, plac­ing Can­di­dates in roles and mar­ket­ing to Can­di­dates. The assign­ment of Can­di­dates to tal­ent pools is a ful­ly auto­mat­ed process and can involve the use of bots.

If you are not hap­py about this, in cer­tain cir­cum­stances you have the right to object and can find out more about how and when to do this by refer­ring to the sec­tion enti­tled “How can you access, amend or take back the per­son­al data that you have giv­en to us” in the Gen­er­al Pri­va­cy Infor­ma­tion sec­tion of this Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy.

We also some­times use auto­mat­ed sys­tems such as fil­ter­ing tools, or occa­sion­al­ly more com­plex tools which use an ele­ment of arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence, such as algo­rithms or machine learn­ing (includ­ing those pro­vid­ed by third par­ties), to help us quick­ly, effi­cient­ly and more accu­rate­ly to analyse data we have about you and oth­er Can­di­dates, as well as data we hold on our Clients’ needs, and this ulti­mate­ly helps us to make deci­sions based on this data. This can include apply­ing tools which use algo­rithms (such as fil­ter­ing tools or machine learn­ing) to Can­di­date per­son­al data in order to help us come up with the best pos­si­ble short­list for a par­tic­u­lar role. Such tech­nol­o­gy should reduce sig­nif­i­cant­ly the amount of time need­ed to con­sid­er when Can­di­dates might be the best fit for rel­e­vant jobs. This should in turn make the recruit­ment process much more effi­cient and effec­tive, which, we hope, will improve your over­all expe­ri­ence with us.

As new and bet­ter tech­nol­o­gy becomes more preva­lent, some of our pro­fil­ing activ­i­ties and our pro­cess­ing activ­i­ties which use auto­mat­ed sys­tems such as those described above, may amount to Auto­mat­ed Deci­sion Mak­ing with­in the mean­ing of Arti­cle 22 of the GDPR. This means a process of mak­ing a deci­sion by auto­mat­ed means with lim­it­ed, or even no, human inter­ven­tion in reach­ing the deci­sion. We will only use auto­mat­ed deci­sion mak­ing in rela­tion to your per­son­al data where we con­sid­er this is nec­es­sary for the com­ple­tion of pre-con­trac­tu­al steps tak­en at your request.

Please note that in cer­tain of the juris­dic­tions in which we oper­ate, we com­ply with addi­tion­al local law require­ments. For more infor­ma­tion in rela­tion to your juris­dic­tion, please read here.
