Please note that HireOffshore.com will not share your personal information with any third party without your consent, except as required by law.

Your personal and sensitive information may be disclosed to:

• Potential and actual employers and clients of HireOffshore.com and trusted third parties, who may be based outside of Australia and New Zealand.

For example, HireOffshore.com group company employees in India who assist with maintenance and development of our IT systems and infrastructure located in Australia, and HireOffshore.com employees as required due to HireOffshore.com's ultimate holding company being listed on a stock exchange.

• Referees

• External providers used in providing our services to you - e.g., online inductions and training providers, background checking agencies (e.g., criminal record, work rights, and credit checking).

• Third-party outsourced IT, including cloud-based storage providers and document storage providers where we have an appropriate processing agreement (or similar protections) in place, providing us with specialized and efficient database management, development, and storage. These providers may be based in Europe.

• Marketing technology platforms and suppliers who assist us with providing marketing communications to you, and customer feedback survey providers, such providers being based in the USA or Germany.

• Our insurers

• A professional association or registration body that has a proper interest in the disclosure of your personal and sensitive information.

• A Workers Compensation body

• Any person with a lawful entitlement to obtain the information.

• If HireOffshore.com merges with or is acquired by another business or company in the future (or is in meaningful discussions about such a possibility), we may share your personal data with the (prospective) new owners of the business or company.

• Artificial intelligence tools such as algorithms or machine learning (including those provided by third parties).

When we share your information with recipients outside of Australia or New Zealand, we take reasonable precautions to ensure they don't misuse your data according to the APP or IPP. For example, we might use contractual agreements to guarantee your information is kept secure, such as storing it on protected servers within controlled facilities. We also have procedures in place with these third parties to ensure:

a) They handle your information according to Australian or New Zealand privacy laws, whichever is applicable. b) They only use your data to provide services to HireOffshore.com and for no other purposes.

Use of Artificial Intelligence

We also use automated systems, such as filtering tools, or sometimes more complex tools that involve artificial intelligence (AI) elements, like algorithms or machine learning (including those from third parties). These tools help us analyze data about you and other candidates, along with our clients' needs, quickly, efficiently, and more accurately. This ultimately allows us to make data-driven decisions. For instance, we might use AI-powered tools (like filtering or machine learning) on candidate information to create the best possible shortlist for a specific role. This technology should significantly reduce the time it takes to identify suitable candidates for relevant jobs. In turn, this should make the recruitment process much more efficient and effective, which we hope will improve your overall experience with HireOffshore.com.
