Name and e-mail address are mandatory for contact purposes. Other information is requested for matchmaking purposes: gender; nationality; country of residence; approximate age group; education level; past working experience; spoken languages; employment status. This information can also be used for sending out targeted information within the website.

By accepting our privacy policy you allow the matchmaking with the appropriate employer. The data of job seekers are only visible to the employers (registered users) and not to other job seekers.

The data of your organization/company will be visible to the candidates (registered users) and other employers.
Who has access to your personal data and to whom is it disclosed?
Information on jobseekers’ CVs is made available, for display purposes, to employers registered and verified by the site administrator acting on behalf of the controller. If these organisations reprocess the CV information obtained, this processing has to be in compliance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 and the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679).
The service is completely free of charge, and it may not be used for any form of commercial advertising or sending of messages for other purposes than the ones stated above.

The data stored will not be used for sending out any kind of information to the registered users unless they have explicitly agreed to this apart from messages relating directly to the service, its availability and development, and surveys and the like conducted for evaluation purposes.
Only registered and accepted employers in which a jobseeker has explicitly indicated an interest – through marking an interest in one or several of this employer’s job vacancies, or providing the jobseeker’s registration code to the employer via the chat tool – can view that jobseeker’s contact details. Jobseekers have the option to allow or hide their CV/profile through a dedicated button (i.e., option “hide”).
– By selecting the public option (default selection), only the employer accounts of the platform will be able to see the information that was provided from the jobseeker.
