Why do we collect personal data?
As part of our company recruitment process, we collect necessary personal data about you to consider you for employment with our company. During the course of the recruitment and selection process, we may request further information about you to assess your suitability for positions with our firm. In doing so, we only collect personal data that is necessary for recruitment decisions. The procedures used by the firm to gather further information about you might include selection interviews, written skills tests, security vetting and necessary pre-employment activities.
References from your current or former employer(s) or other sources will only be obtained with your consent. In some cases, pre-employment checking may be necessary. Any checking is "tailor-made" and the extent and nature of information sought is no more than is justified by the particular position being filled. Failure to provide requested information may influence the processing and outcome of your application.
How do we use personal data?
We use the personal data for the following purposes:
· managing your application(s) for employment, evaluating you for open positions and managing your candidate profile
· evaluating your suitability for employment with VB (including for example providing your personal information to third parties to conduct background checks);
· sending you email notifications and other announcements, requesting additional information, or otherwise contacting you about your candidacy;
· conducting statistical analyses and reports including for example, demographic analyses of candidates, reports on VB recruitment activities, and analyses of candidate sourcing channels; and
· relating to any other purposes for which you provided the information to VB
· We will not collect or use personal data in ways other than as described in this policy unless we have obtained your consent. In some cases we may specifically request a consent form to be signed. In other cases consent may be implied (for instance, you give us information after being fully advised of how it will be used).
Disclosure of personal data
Your personal data will be used only by employees directly involved in the recruitment process. Information will not be disclosed to third parties except when required by law, when we have your consent or in cases where the third party is a contractor or supplier whom we have engaged specifically to assist with our firm's activities. All such contractors will be bound contractually to keep all information confidential.
