EXPANDED USES AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

When you create a searchable resume or upload your resume to our platform, or submit any information to us including video screenings and interviews you permit us to share your resume and all profile details with third parties as described in our General Terms of Service. By default, your resume and profile is set to searchable, and shareable meaning potential employers and other third parties can access your profile and resume data if we choose to share it with them for the purposes of presenting your profile for potential employment.

Employers and their representatives who access your searchable resume and profile, or to whom you apply with a non-searchable resume, may further share your resume and profile. We are not responsible for such sharing. Additionally, when you share your resume or profile on our platform via a personalized link, even if it’s a link to your profile on our platform, we cannot control who accesses it.

You can adjust your resume privacy settings at any time. If you prefer that your resume data is not shared without your explicit direction or if you do not want to be contacted by employers, set your resume to non-searchable and non-sharable. For more information on resume privacy settings, please visit your profile settings.

As we improve our platform, you may see terms like ‘Employers can find you’ and ‘Employers can’t find you’ to better explain searchable and non-searchable statuses and sharable or non-shareable statuses.

Employer Account Integration: We provide the option for employer user accounts, enabling designated users to access candidate personal data within the parent account. If you link other users to your employer account, you agree that these users may access all information, including resume profiles contacts, application materials, communications with applicants, and can purchase and unlock profiles. Once a user account is deactivated or delinked, access to candidate personal data from the linked account will be lost.

Resume Enhancement Services: In certain markets, we offer resume enhancement services to assist job seekers in improving their resumes. These services may include changes to how your resume is processed or presented by our applicant tracking systems, including introductions, candidate overviews, list if skills submitted to us during your application process, and including your profile picture can be added to your resume as it gets reformatted. This reformatted resume and profile can be shared by us with potential employers to increase your chance to be considered for the job, and by using our platform you agree and consent to us reformatting your resume into our template.

Automated Data Processing: We use automated processing of personal data to evaluate user preferences and predict interests. This is done either based on user consent or as necessary to provide our services. This processing helps match job seekers with suitable employers, provide job alerts, recommend jobs, and protect users through spam and fraud detection. These activities are conducted under the safeguards of our Privacy Policy. Contact [email protected] to exercise your rights or contest any automated processing decisions made to your profile.

Recording of Site Activities: We reserve the right to collect, process, and analyze all activities and interactions you have on our site and software platform.

HOW WE USE AI AND OUR COMMITMENT TO RESPONSIBLE INNOVATION:

Our goal is to simplify the connection between job seekers and employers, making the process more efficient and informed through the use of artificial intelligence (AI). By using data-driven models, we enhance the job search and recruitment experience, helping people find jobs faster and enabling employers to find suitable candidates more easily. Personal data is used to build AI systems that power features like candidate summaries, personalized outreach messages, and job matching. These tools are designed in collaboration with partners to create opportunities for both job seekers and employers.

In certain regions, we offer chatbots that assist users with tasks such as applying for jobs or scheduling interviews. The information shared with these chatbots helps personalize interactions and guide users through their job search. If these chatbots are developed with the help of third-party vendors, both parties ensure data processing is managed securely and responsibly.

As technology continues to evolve, we remain committed to advancing AI capabilities while prioritizing fairness, transparency, and privacy. We continuously improve our systems to create better job matches and more relevant search results, while always upholding the principles of responsible AI use. Our aim is to ensure that job seekers benefit from these advancements, making their journey smoother and more accessible.

OUR AI PRINCIPLES AND RESPONSIBLE INNOVATION:

We are committed to using AI in ways that benefit job seekers and employers, guided by a few key principles:

Job Seeker First: Our mission is to help people find jobs, and this principle drives our use of AI. We aim to open up opportunities for all job seekers, ensuring that our technology serves their needs.
Fairness and Equity: Talent is universal, but opportunity is not. We strive to build AI systems that reduce bias and enhance fairness, ensuring that all job seekers can access the opportunities they deserve. We take precautions to ensure our AI does not perpetuate biases, with oversight and compliance with privacy regulations.
Continuous Learning: Fairness and equity are complex concepts that vary across cultures and contexts. We are committed to continuously evaluating and improving our AI systems through data analysis and the lived experiences of job seekers. Learning is an ongoing process, and we remain open to evolving our practices.

Human-Centered Hiring: AI can enhance the hiring process, but we recognize that hiring is ultimately a human decision. Our tools are designed to support people, not replace them. We aim to maintain the human element in job searching and hiring, while using AI to simplify and improve the experience.
Responsible Innovation: The rapid advancement of AI offers new possibilities, but it also requires careful consideration of risks and benefits. We are committed to transparency, accountability, and security in our AI systems, ensuring they respect human rights and operate with robust safeguards.

Our Role in Promoting Responsible AI

We are actively working to promote responsible AI use across the HR technology industry. Our dedicated team develops tools and processes that prioritize inclusivity, fairness, and privacy. We engage and integrate with vendors, who are deeply involved with policymakers and industry leaders to set standards for responsible AI use and participate in discussions about ethical technology.

As we continue to monitor global best practices, our goal is to ensure that all job seekers have equal access to opportunities. This commitment drives our ongoing efforts to create technology that benefits everyone in the job market while keeping their rights and privacy secure.

Additional Data usage:

Personalization of User Experience: We use collected data to personalize your experience on our platform. This includes tailoring job recommendations, displaying relevant content, and suggesting potential matches based on your profile and activity. By leveraging machine learning and data analytics, and artificial intelligence we aim to provide a more engaging and efficient job search experience.

This includes responding to legal requests, enforcing our terms of service, and preventing illegal activities. We are committed to protecting your data while ensuring compliance with applicable laws.
