Urban Recruitment Inc. respects the privacy of individuals in all aspects of our business operations. We have a longstanding commitment to protecting the personal information of job seekers when providing services to our clients. Your personal information is only collected, used and disclosed by Urban Recruitment Inc. in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
As a job seeker using Urban Recruitment, 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:
Urban Legal Recruitment never collects more personal information than is needed to fulfill these purposes, unless requested by the client and consented to by the job seeker.
Your personal information is never traded, sold or leased by us to any external companies. Your information is only disclosed for Urban Recruitment'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 to you, and we only provide information required and requested to make an informed decision regarding a job candidate.
We may share information with affiliates, partners, contractors or other companies (collectively "representatives") we use to provide full staffing services. However, we only disclose limited information as required for the function to 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.
Examples of companies we may share your limited personal information with could include:
By reading this policy and providing us with your personal information, your consent is implied for the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as specified herein.
Wherever possible and when necessary, we obtain your express consent for particular uses and disclosures. For example, we obtain your express, written consent before releasing your information to a third party providing background checks on potential employees.
We assume your consent when using personal information you have provided for obvious purposes. For example, if you list the names and phone numbers of your previous employers on your resume for reference checking purposes, we will not seek your express consent before checking these references.
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 one year after you accept a permanent employment position.
Urban Legal Recruitment procedures and policies are in place to ensure that your personal information in both paper and electronic format, are secure. For example, we require the following:
Through our website, you can provide information about yourself, such as your resume. To secure the transfer of such personal information, our website host has obtained a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Server Certificate. The personal information you enter through our site is collected within a secure page, and encrypted while being transferred to a password-protected server equipped with an enterprise firewall.
If you provide personal information to us via upload or unencrypted e-mail you should be aware of the inherent risks of interception over which we have no control.
Urban Recruitment Inc. 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 Urban Legal Recruitment Inc. is not in compliance, please write to us at careers@urbanlegal.ca
