This statement discloses the privacy practices for Premium Recruitment Solutions
Accountability
Premium Recruitment Solutions (PRS) respects the privacy of our candidates, applicants, employees, suppliers and clients in all aspects of our business operations. We have a longstanding commitment to protecting the personal information of candidates when providing services to our clients. Your personal information is only collected, used and disclosed by PRS in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Purpose in Collecting Information
As a job seeker using PRS's services, you are asked to provide certain pieces of information in order for us to provide you with the best possible service. In addition to your contact details, your resume and a description of the type of work you are looking for, your file may include the following:
- our interview notes
- educational records
- reference letters
- information obtained through reference and background checks
We use your information to:
- understand your qualifications, needs and ambitions
- find the best job opportunities to match your skill set and career goals
- fulfill our clients' requests for information about job candidates
- assess and develop our business and operations to better service job seekers and our clients
PRS never collects more personal information than is needed to fulfill these purposes, unless requested by the client and consented to by the candidate.
Personal Information Disclosure
Your personal information is never traded, sold or leased by us to any external companies. Your information is only disclosed for PRS’s legitimate business purposes or as required to meet legal and regulatory requirements, for example to comply with a court order.
In the normal course of business, we disclose your personal information to our clients when we feel there is a potential for a job placement. As a job seeker, you are relying on us to share such information. We only provide your information to employers if there is a job opening that is well-suited for you, and we only provide information required and requested to make an informed decision regarding a job candidate.
We may share information with our affiliates, partners, or other companies (collectively "representatives") that we use to provide full staffing services. However, we only disclose limited information as required for the function that will be performed by the REPRESENTATIVE ON OUR BEHALF. We also ensure that every contract we enter into with a representative clearly outlines the representative's obligation to protect your personal information and live up to the principles of privacy.
Consent
Having read this Privacy Policy and using our services and providing us with your personal information, we imply your consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information as specified herein. Wherever possible and when necessary, we obtain your expressed consent for particular uses and disclosures. For example, we obtain your expressed written consent before releasing your information to a third party who provides background checks on potential employees. We imply your consent if we feel we are using your personal information for purposes that are obvious to you.
Retention of Personal Information
We retain your information as long as you are using our placement services, or longer if required by law. For permanent placements, we retain your information for a minimum of one year and a maximum of five years after you accept a permanent employment position. For candidates who we do not place, we retain your information for a maximum period of five years. For applicants who we do not register, we retain your resume from 1 - 12 months from the date received. Should we feel that for whatever reason we are unable to assist an applicant in their search for employment, their personal information is immediately destroyed.
Accuracy
PRS strives to maintain accurate records of your personal information, however, this cannot be achieved without your help. In this ongoing effort, we ask you to provide us with your most up-to-date information. Contact us if any personal information you have given us in the past is incomplete, inaccurate, or no longer relevant. We shall then make the appropriate modifications.
Access to Personal Information
PRS relies on the information provided by you, as well as third parties such as those providing references or educational institutions. You may at any time make a written request for access to your personal information. We will provide you with a copy of the personal information we have on file.
Contact Us with any Questions or Concerns
PRS takes full responsibility for the management and confidentiality of the personal information it collects. If you have any concerns about this policy, or feel that Premium Recruitment Solutions is not abiding by it, Please write to us at;
