Candidate Privacy Notice

1. Scope of this notice

This notice explains how Circle8, operated by CIRCLE8 GROUP, INC., handles information connected with candidate inquiries and recruitment discussions. It supplements our Privacy Policy, which also describes website technical records, security, retention, and privacy requests.

You can ask about opportunities without joining Circle8 Job Alerts. The optional SMS program has a separate consent process and separate SMS Terms.

2. Candidate information

We receive the candidate information you choose to provide through a website inquiry, submitted preferences, or later correspondence with Circle8. The website does not include a resume-upload field. If you provide a resume directly during a recruitment discussion, it becomes part of the relevant recruitment record.

• Name, email address, phone number, and candidate communications.
• Preferred locations, job interests, work arrangements, schedules, and availability.
• Resume information, employment history, education, skills, qualifications, and experience when you provide them.
• Work eligibility information relevant to a role, when appropriately requested during a recruitment process.
• Recruitment correspondence, interview-related information, and records of candidate referrals or hiring discussions where those steps occur.

3. How information supports recruitment

We use relevant information to understand your interests, discuss potential roles, assess how your experience relates to an opportunity, communicate with you, and coordinate a recruitment process. Information may also help us maintain accurate records, respond to a request, protect our systems, and meet applicable requirements.

We do not promise that sharing information will result in a referral, interview, placement, compensation level, or employment. Job availability and hiring decisions depend on the particular role, employer, and applicable process.

4. Prospective employers and service providers

Relevant candidate information may be shared with prospective employers or clients where reasonably necessary to evaluate or facilitate an employment opportunity. This may include qualifications, resume details, availability, work preferences, and contact information needed for the recruitment process.

Service providers may process information needed to support hosting, records, communications, and recruitment administration. Information may also be disclosed when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, security, or safety. Once you provide information directly to an employer or use its website, that employer’s own privacy practices may apply.

5. Recruitment information and SMS consent

Recruitment information and SMS opt-in permission serve different purposes. A candidate referral, a hiring discussion, or permission to share a resume does not enroll you in the optional text program.

Mobile information and SMS opt-in consent will not be sold, rented, or shared with third parties or affiliate marketers for their marketing or promotional purposes. Circle8 SMS consent is not passed to a prospective employer, another recruiting company, or another brand for independent marketing. A recipient of candidate information must obtain its own appropriate permission for any separate messaging program.

Circle8 does not use purchased, rented, or scraped contact lists for Job Alerts. You can decline or stop text messages without losing access to the website or the ability to contact Circle8.

6. Please share only what is needed

Keep website inquiries focused on your experience, interests, and the assistance you are seeking. Do not include Social Security numbers, bank or payment details, identity document images, medical records, passwords, or other highly sensitive information in the website’s message fields.

If a later recruitment step requires additional information, ask Circle8 why it is needed and how to provide it appropriately before sending it. Do not submit confidential information belonging to a current or former employer without authorization.

7. Accuracy, preferences, and your requests

Tell us if your contact details, availability, preferences, or recruitment information need to be corrected. You may ask about the information we hold or request deletion, subject to applicable law and legitimate recordkeeping needs. We may need to verify your identity and clarify the request.

To stop Circle8 Job Alerts, reply STOP to a program message, use the unsubscribe option on the Job Alerts page, or contact [email protected]. A limited opt-out record may remain so that the number is not automatically enrolled again.

We retain recruitment information for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant recruitment purpose, relationship, and legal, security, or dispute-resolution needs. See the Privacy Policy for additional information about retention and safeguards.

8. Contact the Circle8 team
