The personal data is submitted directly to P2H through the online application process, follow-up communications, and/or through alternative channels (e.g., via professional recruiting firms, recruitment websites etc.). While assessing your performance with the position specifications, P2H may also collect and process your personal data regarding cooperation with your current employer (e.g., if you are part of the senior leadership team of a target company). This Privacy Notice does not apply to the personal data of our employees, partners, clients, vendors or any other person from whom P2H collects personal data for other purposes.

By submitting your personal data to us, you acknowledge that:

  • You have read and understood this Privacy Notice and agreed to the use of your personal data as set out herein.
  • Your personal data may be transferred and processed worldwide, including in countries that may not be deemed to provide the same level of data protection as your home country, for the purposes and in the manner specified in this Privacy Notice.
  • If you do not want us to process your Data, you are not required to provide any requested information. In such case we may not be able to review your application in full, since the lack of the information.
  • All of your representations are true and correct to the best of your knowledge and belief, and you have not knowingly omitted any related information of an adverse nature. Any inaccurate information can make you ineligible for cooperation.
  • This Privacy Notice does not form part of any contract of employment, service provision agreement and other agreement of any kind, which is offered to candidates hired or engaged by P2H.

Personal data we collect

The types of personal data that we request from you and the ways that we process it are determined by the requirements of the country in which the position you apply for is located, and not the country in which you reside. We usually collect personal data directly from you when you apply for a role with us, such as your name, address, contact information, photographs, work and educational history, achievements, identity documents, and test results.

We also collect similar personal data about you from third parties, such as professional recruiting firms, your references, prior employers, P2H team members with whom you have interviewed or who recommended your candidacy, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law. We may also collect personal data about you online to the extent that you have chosen to make this information publicly available. For example, we may find your profile on professional social media websites (such as LinkedIn), and contact you about suitable positions.

Sensitive personal data is a subset of personal data that includes ethnicity, health, trade union membership, philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, and other categories as prescribed by law. We are not collect sensitive personal data about a candidate. We may also collect sensitive personal data to the extent that a candidate chooses, without being asked, to voluntarily disclose it during the recruiting process.

Use of your personal data

We collect and use your personal data for legitimate human resources and business management reasons, including:

  • identifying and evaluating candidates for potential cooperation, as well as for future roles that may become available;
  • maintaining records in relation to recruiting and hiring;
  • fostering our diversity and inclusion programs and practices;
  • conducting background checks, including;
  • protecting our legal rights to the extent authorized or permitted by law

We may also use your personal data for P2H analytics purposes, including in aggregated/pseudonymized form, to improve our recruitment and hiring process and augment our ability to attract successful candidates.

Legal basis for processing your personal data

Our processing of your personal data for the purposes mentioned above is based:

  • in part, on our legitimate business interests in evaluating your application to manage our relationship with you, to ensure that we recruit appropriate candidate, and to evaluate and maintain the efficacy of our recruiting process more generally;
  • in part, on our performing contractual and precontractual measures relating to our potential cooperation relationship with you;
  • in part, on our complying with applicable law with regard to personal data necessary to satisfy our legal and regulatory obligations;
  • in part, on your consent, if we offer you the opportunity to participate in our optional recruiting programs.

Data recipients and international data transfers

Your personal data may be accessed by recruiters and interviewers working in the country where the position for which you are applying for is based. Individuals performing administrative functions and IT personnel (IT administrator, IT support etc.) within P2H may also have limited access to your personal data to the extent necessary to perform their jobs.

Except to the extent necessary to accomplish the P2H uses and purposes described in this Privacy Notice, we do not disclose your personal data to third parties. We do not otherwise share or sell your personal data to third parties.

In addition, we may disclose or transfer your personal data in the event of a reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, or other transfer or disposition of all or any portion of our business.

Automated sorting of applications

We may use data analytics and algorithms to help us to review the large quantities of candidates and application data that we receive. These algorithms help us prioritize the application review process and sort candidates on the basis of professional characteristics that suggest strengths and capabilities necessary to perform the relevant role. The algorithms are designed to analyze the candidate’s application data and compare it to our historical data on previously successful and unsuccessful candidates.

The automated results are always considered in tandem with, and not in lieu of, human judgment. We evaluate each individual candidate on their own merits.

Certain roles may require specific prerequisites or skills (for example, fluency in a certain language, particular professional qualifications or certifications, or number of years in a similar role). Applications that do not meet those requirements will be automatically rejected.

Data retention

If you accept an offer of cooperation with us, any relevant personal data collected during your pre-cooperation period will become part of your personall records and will be retained in accordance with specific country requirements and with the privacy notice applicable to P2H contractors and employees, which will be provided during the on-boarding process.

If we do not cooperate with you, we may nevertheless continue to retain and use your personal data for a period of time (which may vary depending on the country) for system administration purposes, to consider you for potential future positions, and to perform research. Thereafter, we retain a minimal amount of your personal data to record your recruiting activity with us.

We may want to remain in contact with you and consider you for future cooperation opportunities. In such an event, we will seek your consent to include you in one of our recruiting programs that provides you ways to further learn about and stay in touch with P2H, either prior to or after you formally apply for a job opportunity. Participation in these recruiting programs is entirely optional.
