Privacy Policy: Recruitment

This policy applies to all job seekers to whom services are provided by R2 Technologies. R2 Technologies is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.

This privacy policy does not apply to services offered by other companies or individuals, including products or websites that may be linked from our services. It also does not cover the information practices of other companies and organisations that advertise our services and may use cookies, pixel tags, and other technologies to serve relevant ads.

This policy describes how the information we may receive from you is used, disclosed, and protected. Our goal is to provide clear and transparent information about how we handle the processing of your data.

Why we collect personal information

As a staffing agency, we introduce candidates to clients for temporary worker placements, independent professional contracts, and permanent employment. Candidate and client data is recorded to support our candidates’ career aspirations and our clients’ resourcing needs.

The primary purpose for collecting your personal information is to process your employment application, maintain employee records, and administer employment. We may also need to collect your information where legally required.

What information may be collected

In order to provide job-seeking services, we may collect personal information from you in several ways.

Personal information collected, stored, and processed by R2 is limited to what is needed to match candidates with positions, support employment and placement workflows, and perform obligations when acting as an employer, hirer, or employment agency.

This may include contact information, nationality and work permit status, date of birth, employment and education history, professional credentials, reference information, financial and tax information, employee identifiers, background verification data, and benefits-related information.

Additional information may also be collected during the course of employment to manage the ongoing employment relationship, including attendance, leave requests, medical certificates, and performance records.

• Information may be obtained from visits to the website, including traffic data, location data, weblogs, surveys, contact forms, and correspondence records.
• Information may be collected for direct marketing via email, messaging, or telephone, although you may opt out of future marketing communications.
• Information may be collected when you send an application by email, online, or post, or when reference and police checks are conducted.

R2 Technologies processes personal information lawfully, fairly, and transparently under applicable local laws. Personal information is used for managing processes associated with employment.

These activities include recruitment, selection and appointment, payroll processing, ongoing HR administration, training and development, appraisals, probation, promotion, grievance and disciplinary procedures, and debt recovery where relevant.

Security and control of personal information

Your information may be accessed by our staff and third-party service providers located inside or outside the local jurisdiction. Both our staff and those third parties are obligated to keep your information safe and private.

If data must be shared with agencies outside the local jurisdiction, that information may be shared only after receiving any required consent.
