Information Collection

JobFitts Consultants offers recruitment services, human resource outsourcing and outplacement services. We will, during the course of providing these services, collect personal information directly from you through our application and registration process, interviewing, reference checking and other activities. Often your personal information is collected through the use of JobFitts Consultants’ website or in response to JobFitts Consultants’ printed and online advertisements. There may be occasions when JobFitts Consultants will source personal information from an external third party, or a publicly available source. In these circumstances, reasonable steps will be taken by JobFitts Consultants where practicable to inform you that it has collected personal information from the third party.

The type of personal information we collect, and use will depend on various factors such as the type of services you request or use and any applicable legal and regulatory obligations. This may include, but is not limited to, collection and use of the following kinds of information:

• Contact – information that allows us to communicate with you (e.g. e-mail, social media contact details, address, telephone number).
• Identity – information that allows us to identify you (e.g. name, date of birth, occupation, and government-issued identification).
• Professional – information that helps us to understand more about you including your employment history, qualifications, professional or other memberships, talents, skills and abilities and career objectives (e.g. references, resume and qualification documents).
• Other individuals – information we request, or that you provide, about an individual other than yourself (e.g. previous employer and referees).
• Immigration – information that allows us to verify that you are legally permitted to work (e.g. evidence of citizenship, visa or work permit documents).

By providing us with any personal information voluntarily via our website, application or registration processes you will be understood by us to be giving consent to this information being viewed by us and our clients. Such information may be saved by us and the user may be contacted as a result.

We will only disclose your personal information when:

• It is reasonably necessary for one of the purposes described above;
• Having regard to the nature of the information or the circumstances of collection, we believe you would expect us to use the information or make the disclosure;
