You can contact Sircle Collection’s data protection officer by sending an email to: privacy@sirclecollection.com WHY DO WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA? We process candidate information for employment or engagement opportunities at Sircle Group. The information will be gathered and utilized for the following objectives:
- Evaluate candidates’ skills, qualifications, and suitability for the positions.
- Conduct necessary background and reference checks.
- Maintain communication with candidates regarding the recruitment procedure.
- Retain records associated with our hiring procedures.
- Adhere to legal and regulatory obligations.
WHAT PERSONAL DATA DO WE PROCESS? Generally, the data we collect from all job applicants includes any details provided in resumes, CVs, and/or application forms, such as name, contact information, employment history, qualifications, nationality, and, if they willingly consent, a photograph.
We use the personal data of candidates to evaluate their skills, experience, and suitability for roles available at Sircle Group. This information is shared with relevant hiring managers and individuals involved in the recruitment process to determine whether to invite the candidates for interviews.
Sircle Collection will process additional information if a candidate is invited to the interview stage or beyond. This may include interview notes, assessment results, feedback, and details of any job offers made. This information is used to determine whether to extend a job offer and be used for contract creation and finalization.
When Sircle Collection decides to make an offer, further information is processed as part of pre-employment background screening to confirm that the candidate meets internal and legal requirements for the position and to verify the accuracy of the information provided by the candidate. This may include verifying education and employment history, as well as checking references. Additionally, we need to confirm and establish the candidate's eligibility to work in the relevant country.
For successful candidates, we process personal data necessary for their onboarding, which may include enrolling them in company benefits and providing access to Sircle Collection systems. This may involve collecting additional information such as personal identification numbers (tax, citizenship, citizen service number, or other relevant individual numbers based on the candidate's country and role), details of related individuals (spouse/partner, children, etc.), signature, bank account information, and emergency contacts.
Suppose a candidate does not provide the required information, which is essential for Sircle Collection to assess their application. In that case, we may be unable to proceed with the application.
HOW AND WHERE DO WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA? Sircle Collection collects personal data from candidates in various ways. This data can be obtained through:
- Directly from the candidate - such as the information provided by candidates during their application process through Sircle Collection career websites or when they submit their resumes or CVs in person to our Hotels, Restaurants, Members’ Clubs, and Stores.
- Through publicly accessible online sources - for example, when a candidate maintains a professional online profile, such as LinkedIn.
- Through reference checks - such as those obtained from a candidate's previous employee or employer, or a referee specified by the candidate.
