We use artificial intelligence (“AI”) in job placement to match our candidates’ CVs with our clients’ vacancies and find suitable jobs for our candidates. To achieve this, RH utilises a service provided by Textkernel BV, Nieuwendammerkade 26a5, NL-1022 AB Amsterdam (“TK”), a company based in the Netherlands/EU. This AI assists our recruitment consultants in conducting more efficient searches and matching suggested candidates with our clients’ vacancies. This allows our recruitment consultants to search a larger number of CVs and match our candidates’ datasets with our clients’ vacancies faster, disregarding irrelevant data. The AI generates a list of potential candidates for a client’s vacancy for our recruitment consultants. However, this does not result in automated decision-making and is only a tool that our consultants can use in addition to their own selection. Our recruitment consultants make decisions based on their expertise, knowledge of the job market, insights into the client’s business and role requirements, interviews with candidates, and other relevant criteria to shortlist candidates for a specific client position. The final decision in favour or against a candidate is always made by our clients. They decide which candidates will be invited for an interview, who will progress in any multi-stage interview process and who will be accepted for the position. You can object to the processing by TK AI at any time by contacting [email protected]. In this case, we will no longer use TK AI on your CV. This has no negative consequences or impact on you, especially on your application or the search for suitable positions for you, as we always rely on our personal knowledge of you, the client and their business, the position and role requirements, and the market when making any decisions. If you object to the processing of your personal data by our AI tool, our recruitment consultants will continue to offer you job placement services but will employ alternative methods to search for job opportunities on your behalf. The personal data of candidates who are no longer available for employment, are no longer actively seeking a job, have recently taken up permanent employment, or have objected to the processing of their personal data by AI will be deleted by our AI service provider. More information about our AI tool can be found here.
As a group of companies with global operations, we organise some activities centrally at our affiliates for certain regions or worldwide. In doing so, personal data may be transmitted to these affiliates to ensure efficient and consistent business processes as well as appropriate control of our business operations. As some of our divisions rely on matrix management, employees may be reporting to managers employed at other affiliates; this means that these managers may have knowledge of personal data to ensure effective management and organisation within the group. Where this is the case, these affiliates act as our data processors, processing your personal data according to our instructions. We also commission third-party service providers to act as data processors. These service providers include software providers, cloud providers, marketing agencies, financial services providers, subcontractors and technical support companies that are necessary for fulfilling our business purposes and that support us in improving the quality of our services and offering innovative solutions. We commission these service providers subject to a data processing agreement that obligates them to comply with data protection regulations and does not permit them to process personal data for their own purposes. Personal data may also be transmitted to independent data controllers such as tax advisers, law offices, courts or government agencies to the extent permitted or legally required to comply with statutory requirements, ensure compliance and establish, exercise or defend legal claims. When working with data processors and independent data controllers, we attach great importance to their compliance with the level of data protection required in the European Union. Where these business partners are not already subject to EU data protection law, they undertake to comply with EU data protection standards by signing the standard contractual clauses provided by the European Commission. These contractual arrangements ensure that the transfer of personal data to third parties outside the European Union or the European Economic Area complies with the strict requirements of EU data protection law. For further information on the transmission of your personal data, please refer to the individual purposes of processing described in this privacy notice.
We have taken appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data from accidental loss, unauthorised processing or access as well as alteration or disclosure. Furthermore, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, representatives, contractors and other third parties who need it for business purposes and are legally authorised to use it. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and we will notify you and the competent supervisory authority of a breach where this is necessary and we are legally required to do so.
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on these links or enabling these connections may allow third parties to collect and process your personal data. The processing of your personal data by these third parties is beyond our control and we ask you to consult their privacy notices to see how they process your data.
