SydneyTalent Privacy Policy

This Privacy Statement applies to the services offered by SydneyTalent Pty Ltd, which operates in Australia. This Privacy Statement also pertains to the SydneyTalent website.

Our head office is located at Level 5 Jane Foss Russell Building G02, 160 City Road, Darlington, NSW 2006, Telephone number 02 8627 8000.

SydneyTalent is committed to safeguarding all personal information collected from job applications in the course of a direct vacancy submission, consideration against other available contract or permanent opportunities and that of our contractors and individuals whom we have assisted in obtaining permanent employment.

Collation of personal information

SydneyTalent collects candidate information in a variety of ways including: completion of a registration form at interview with a consultant, through print media, employment websites and the SydneyTalent website. The information collected is entered onto our recruitment management system and can only be accessed by SydneyTalent employees for the purpose of matching candidates to current roles.

Type of information collected

SydneyTalent only collects information which we perceive to be relevant in assisting candidates in their job search. This may include information such as the following: name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, relevant qualification(s), work history and skills.

Data quality

SydneyTalent will take reasonable steps to ensure that the information we consensually disclose to a third-party is accurate, complete and up to date, prior to disclosure.

Distributing & sharing personal information

SydenyTalent is committed to protecting the privacy of our candidates and clients and will ensure that information submitted to us is used only for the purposes as previously agreed to. Management of SydneyTalent is committed to the Act and to ensuring we meet all standards required.

Personal information provided to SydneyTalent by our candidates is used solely for the purpose of candidate career advancement. Prior to any candidate information being forwarded to clients, permission is sought directly from the candidate.

Once registered as a candidate with SydneyTalent, we may email or mail relevant information in relation to assisting candidates in their job search.

Opting out

SydneyTalent also provides candidates with the opportunity to opt out of these types of communications. If a candidate chooses to receive communications of this type at the time of registration, but later decides they no longer want to receive them, they can simply contact SydneyTalent and request to be removed from the circulation database.

Security measures

SydneyTalent employs strict security procedures and firewalls to ensure the integrity and security of any personal information that we hold. Only those with an authorised requirement have access to candidate and contractor information. In addition, our recruitment database can only be accessed through individual password systems.

Sensitive information

SydneyTalent will not request that you disclose sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for the express purpose of commencing a contract role or permanent employment which has been facilitated by SydneyTalent. Some sensitive information may be required for security clearance purposes for roles within high security organisations, i.e. the defence or airline industries. In security situations, refusal to provide appropriate access may prevent a candidate from being considered for such roles. This is because it may be a condition of employment, with some clients, that security clearance be obtained prior to commencement.

However, should you disclose sensitive personal information when you submit an application, or when requesting us to locate a suitable role for you, we will remove this information prior to client submission.

Personal sensitive information means:
1. Information or an opinion about an individual's

Racial or ethnic origin
Political opinions
Membership of a political association
Religious beliefs or affiliation
Philosophical beliefs
Membership of a professional or trade association
Membership of a trade union
Sexual preferences or practices
Criminal record
or

2. Health information about an individual
