8. Automated processing and profiling

In the course of recruitment activity, candidate data may be subject to automated processing and profiling in order to assess the suitability of a candidate for a specific role. This processing may have a significant effect on whether a candidate is considered for a position.

Where automated profiling is used, candidates have the right to request human review of any decision, to express their point of view, and to contest the outcome. To exercise this right, contact us at info@industrial-recruitment.eu.

Employers who submit hiring requests through this website are not subject to automated profiling.
