Confidentiality
You are not logged in
You must choose a reputable recruitment company to ensure your CV is not sent to any company that has not been discussed with you.
A crucial issue
The confidentiality of CVs is a crucial issue for anyone involved in finding a job; job seekers and recruitment consultants alike.
We will use your CV in confidence and will never send it to any one unless we have first discussed it with you.
Potential for CV misuse
Some job boards hold around 2 million individual CVs at any one time, and with such vast amounts of personal data, there is always a threat of potential misuse.
Searchable profile
If you have selected, for example, a ‘searchable’ profile on a job board, any agency, employer, head hunter or HR professional who has
paid to be able to access the site can see your profile and CV. Once they have access to this data it is very hard to control what they do with
your CV and stop them from forwarding your information to others without your consent.
Certain job boards will deny liability for this in their small print. They expressly state that if those who have paid for access to your
CV have retained a copy of it in their own files or databases, they are not responsible for the privacy or use of CVs in these instances.
Remember to remove your CV from job boards when you no longer require their services.
Use an REC accredited consultancy
Even with recruitment agencies, you should always make sure you use an REC accredited consultancy which,
under their code of practice, should not send a CV out without your express permission.
