We will only send marketing communications to you, as an individual, if you have consented to us doing so.

To receive marketing or promotional communications, you can opt-in by checking the relevant box located on the form on which we collect your data, or we can send you these communications based on our legitimates interests to promote our products and services where we are not obliged to obtain your consent by law

Communication with Businesses

We process your data within the scope of an existing business relationship with you or your company because:

We have a contract with you (or are considering entering into a contract with you). In this case, the personal information we collect and use for marketing purposes relates to individual employees of our clients and other companies with which we have an existing business relationship; or

Privacy Notice – Article 5

5.Do we use artificial intelligence?

Yes, we do use artificial intelligence (AI) at times. However, we do not use your personal information in any automated decision making (a decision made solely by the creation and application of technologies without any human intervention) or profiling (processing of personal information with a range of technologies that reduce human intervention to evaluate certain conditions about an individual) that produces a legal effect or similarly significant effect concerning you.

We use a range of technologies to analyze data. In case of our website we might use your search terms for recommendations of job offerings. In all cases, there is always human intervention in these processes, as we use these tools to support our expert human decision makers.

We use automated systems/processes with the conditions described in the previous paragraph to recommend and display alternative search results to your search query. The main aim of this is to broaden the choice of job offerings to choose from. Accordingly, these AI systems do not have legal effect.

For example, when you are searching for a job as a “warehouse worker” we will display alternative but close job offerings like “pick packer” as well. The piece of processing that might use AI (for instance machine-learning, logic- or knowledge based and statistical approaches) is based on Natural Language Processing techniques to calculate similarities of words and word meanings. In any case these results are only shown to you as recommendations to make an informed decision about your application.
