A. TERMS OF SERVICE FOR JOB SEEKERS
Talent.com offers Job Seekers the ability to search for job opportunities in its database using its job search engine (“Job Search”), to receive information about job opportunities through emails or electronic messages when subscribing to its job alert service (“Job Alerts”) and to find job related information, such as salary data, income tax data and other relevant information about the job market using a variety of tools. Job Seekers can also apply for jobs using our Services. Some of these Services are only available for registered Users and others are available to all Users, whether they have a Talent.com profile account or not.
1. Creating a Job Seeker Profile Account
Talent.com offers multiple methods for creating a Talent profile account and becoming a registered User of our Services (“Profile Account”).
A Profile Account will be automatically created for you when you sign up to our Job Alerts service or when you apply to a job through our Website. If you no longer want to have an active Profile Account with us, you may delete your account in your settings.
You can manually create a Profile Account by providing your first name, last name and a valid email address. The email you use must be one where we can reach you. In the event we cannot correspond with you via this email address, your submitted content may be rejected, and your account may be disabled. To complete your registration, you may be required to enter a one-time 6-digit code sent via the email address you provided and/or a password. Once your account is created, you will be given access to your profile and other private areas of your account. We will update your account with jobs you have applied to or favourited.
You may also be able to create a Profile Account and subsequently access such account through third-party websites including, but not limited to LinkedIn or Google (“Social Media"). If you create and access your Profile Account using a Social Media account, you agree that we may access, make available, and store (if applicable) any information, data, text, messages, tags, and/or other materials stored and made accessible in your account with such Social Media so that it is available on and through Talent.com via your Profile Account.
Subject to the account privacy settings that you have set with such Social Media account you use to access your Profile Account, personally identifiable information that you post to that site may be displayed on Talent.com such as name, last name, email address, phone number or location. Please note that your relationship with your Social Media is governed solely by your agreement with such Social Media and we disclaim any liability for personally identifiable information that may be provided to us by a Social Media site in violation of terms and conditions of services of the Social Media, of the privacy settings that you have set with that Social Media or of the laws applicable to that Social Media.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Profile Account. You agree to notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized use of your account or password. You are solely responsible for any and all use of your Profile Account.
2. Searching for Jobs
The Talent.com Job Search tool, which is free to those Job Seekers searching for employment opportunities ("Job Ads”), offers the ability to search through a database of job opportunities using key words, both as a registered User and as a non-registered User. These Job Ads are made available on our Website by Employers using our Services or may be automatically indexed by us from external third-party sources and may include links to third-party websites. Talent.com has no obligation to include any Job Ads in its search results or other listings and may exclude or remove any Job Ads from the Website for any or no reason.
Job Ads are User Content, meaning that they are created and provided by third parties and not by Talent.com. Talent.com exercises no control over and assumes no responsibility for any User Content generally and Job Ads specifically. Please read over Section C.3 of our Terms of Service on User Content to find out more.
As Talent.com has no obligation to screen any Job Ads or to verify the identity of the Employer posting such Job Ads, we caution Job Seekers to verify the validity of a Job Ad before taking any actions regarding their current employment situations.
3. Making a Job Application
When you submit a job application in response to a Job Ad (“Job Application”), you may do so as a registered User through your Profile Account, or as an unregistered User. A Job Ad will prompt you to apply either directly on our Website (“Apply on Talent.com”) or you will be re-directed to apply on the third-party Employer’s site (“Apply on Company Website.”).
Once you submit a Job Application, whether you do so using the Apply on Talent.com or the Apply on Company Website, your resume and other application information you decide to submit will be shared with the Employer and/or entity that posted the Job Ad, as long as any parameters selected by that entity are met, if applicable. You should therefore ensure that the information you provide is complete and accurate, and only contains information that you are comfortable sharing. The Employer account holders receiving your Job Application agree to comply with their obligations under these Terms of Service and applicable laws, including data privacy laws, and should not use the information for purposes other than hiring. However, once a Job Application is submitted, Talent.com cannot guarantee that your Job Application will be held in confidence or properly secured by the applicable recipient nor that the Job Application will be received, reviewed or responded to by the Employer.
When you make a Job Application using the Apply on Company Website feature, you are leaving our Website and entering into a third-party website. Talent.com has no control over any conditions third parties might impose on such third-party website and Talent.com is not responsible or liable for any such third party content or for the availability of, or the materials located on, or through, any external websites. Your use of all such external websites is at your own risk. When you are entering into an agreement with such parties, you are giving them your data and your rights, and their obligations are determined by their privacy policy and terms of service. You will be notified on the site that these are third party sites and services, and not Talent.com.
When you are making a Job Application using Apply on Talent.com, we collect and process you application data, which may contain Personal Data. To see how we handle your Personal Data when you make a Job Application using Apply on Talent.com, we invite you to read our Privacy Policy.
Talent.com may use your application materials and location to send you information and Job Alerts about Jobs Ads that may be of interest to you.
4. Subscribing to Job Alerts
We offer our Users a Job Alerts service where they can receive Job Ads that may be of interest to them based on their profile, job search activity, saved jobs and applied jobs. Our Job Alerts service is accessible via email, and, in certain countries, via text messages (SMS) and WhatsApp.
In addition to manually subscribing to our Job Alerts service, either directly on our Website or through our partners' websites, if you make a Job Application and/or create a Profile Account, you may agree to receive email Job Alerts that may be of interest to you. You can edit or change the type of Job Alerts you want to receive by accessing the Job Alerts tab in your Profile Account. You may unsubscribe to Job Alerts by (a) clicking on the unsubscribe link in your Job Alert email, (b) by unsubscribing from Job Alerts in your Profile Account under "My notifications", (c) by contacting our Customer Service department at [email protected] or (d) by closing your Profile Account. If you have subscribed to SMS or WhatsApp Job Alerts service, you may also unsubscribe by following the instructions in Section A.5. of our Terms of Service. Note that while you can opt out of Job Alert and marketing messages, you cannot opt out of service-related email communications, including those related to security, legal notices, your account, or your use of our Services unless you deactivate your account and stop using our Services.
5. Specific terms applicable to Job Alerts using SMS or WhatsApp
Depending on your country of residence, Talent.com may offer its Job Alert service through text messages (SMS) and/or WhatsApp. If you subscribe to this Service, you have to be the owner of the mobile phone entered or be authorized to use this mobile phone to receive our messages. The number of messages you receive may vary depending on the number of recent jobs matching your search, the jobs you applied to, and if you sent us a message asking us for extra support via text message. Your carrier may charge fees for you to receive messages and may set limits to the number of messages you may receive, which are solely governed by the agreement you have with your carrier. Talent.com is not responsible for undelivered messages caused by any restriction linked to the plan and mobile carrier you have. If you are receiving our Job Alerts via WhatsApp, you acknowledge that your relationship with WhatsApp is governed solely by your agreement with WhatsApp. We disclaim any liability for personally identifiable information that may be provided to us by WhatsApp in violation of the privacy settings that you have set with WhatsApp, of their terms and conditions of services, or of the laws applicable to them. By agreeing to these terms and/or subscribing to Job Alerts, you consent to receive recurring calls and texts by or on behalf of Talent.com and our affiliates and marketing partners for information and advertising purposes, including by automated technology or recorded message, to the numbers(s) you provide. You understand consent is not a condition of purchase, and that you can opt out of future communications as described below.
If you want to stop receiving Job Alerts via SMS, you can do so by following the instructions provided in Section A.4 of our Terms of Service or, if you are in the US or Canada, you can stop receiving Job Alerts via SMS by texting STOP to +1 (844) 794-9497 via your mobile device or, if you are in the UK, by clicking on the unsubscribe link you received from Talent.com via your mobile device. If you want to stop receiving Job Alerts via WhatsApp, you can also revoke your consent at any time by replying "STOP" via WhatsApp.
6. Salary Tool, Tax Calculator and Other Information Provided by Talent.com
Depending on your country of residence, Talent.com may provide you with a variety of tools giving you access to salary data (“Salary Tool”), income tax data (“Tax Calculator”) and other career and job market information (“Talentpedia”). Our Salary Tool, Tax Calculator and Talentpedia rely on data submitted to Talent.com by third parties and such data may not be accurate or reliable and is provided for informational purposes only. For example, our Salary Tool uses approximations of salary figures based upon multiple third party submissions. These figures are given to Users for the purpose of generalized comparison only. Minimum wage may differ by jurisdiction, and you should consult the Employer for actual salary figures related to a specific Job Ad. Similarly, tax-related information provided through our Tax Calculator is based upon multiple third-party submissions. You understand that Talent.com is not giving any tax advice, suggestions or best-practices through your use of these Services. You should consult a tax expert before making any career decision based on the information we make available through our Tax Calculator. Any use or reliance upon our Salary Tool, Tax Calculator and Talentpedia shall be at your own risk.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or the provisions of Section C.13 of our Terms of Service: (I) SALARY TOOL, TAX CALCULATOR AND TALENTPEDIA ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS; (II) ANY USE OR RELIANCE UPON ANY PORTION OF THE SALARY TOOL, TAX CALCULATOR AND TALENTPEDIA SHALL BE AT YOUR OWN RISK. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS OF DATA USED BY OUR SALARY TOOL, TAX CALCULATOR AND TALENTPEDIA HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE USE OF THIS DATA AND SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, CORRECTNESS, QUALITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND (III) NEITHER WE NOR ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDER OF THIS DATA AND SERVICES SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, COST OR DAMAGE SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY USE BY YOU OF THE SALARY TOOL, TAX CALCULATOR AND TALENTPEDIA.
7. Governing law
Unless otherwise required by law, if you are contracting with Talent.com as a Job Seeker, this Agreement and any dispute related to or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or related in any way to our Services, or our relationship (“Dispute”) will be governed by and under the laws of the Province of Québec and the laws of Canada applicable therein, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles thereof.
8. Dispute resolution
Unless otherwise required by law or unless you are a Job Seeker located in the United States (in which case the Arbitration Agreement set out in Section A.10 of this Agreement applies), any and all actions, lawsuits, or other legal proceedings related to such Dispute shall be filed only in courts located in the Province of Québec, Canada and you hereby consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located in the Province of Québec, Canada. You also hereby waive any right to a jury trial in connection with any action or litigation in any way arising out of or related to your use of our Services or these Terms of Service.
9. Class Action Waiver
By using our Service and in return for the Services offered by Talent.com, you acknowledge that we can only offer you the Services under the terms and conditions as presented herein. As partial consideration for your use of our Services, you agree not to sue Talent.com as a class plaintiff or class representative, join as a class member, or participate as an adverse party in any way in a class-action lawsuit against Talent.com regarding your use of our Services, where permitted. Additionally, as a Job Seeker, you acknowledge that your use of our free Services on our Website is not purchased. Your acceptance of this Agreement, including this Class Action Waiver, is an essential part of this Agreement allowing your free use of our Services. If you do not agree to any part of these terms, do not continue your use of our Services. Nothing in this paragraph, however, limits your rights to bring a lawsuit as an individual plaintiff, subject to Sections A.8 and A.10 of this Agreement.
10. Arbitration Agreement
This Section A.10, referred to as the "Agreement to Arbitrate", only applies if you are a resident of the United States at the time you became bound to the Agreement or thereafter. Unless you opt out pursuant to the opt out procedures set forth below, you and Talent.com agree that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any Dispute will, at the election of either party, be resolved by arbitration, including any dispute about arbitrability, such as scope and enforceability. The right and obligation to arbitrate under this Section extends to all Disputes, including those against or involving third parties such as Talent.com or its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, agents, shareholders, members, partners, subsidiaries, joint venturers, or contractors.
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party (“Notice”), by certified first class mail or overnight courier (signature required) or by electronic mail with return and delivery receipts requested for both methods. Talent.com’s address for Notice is: Talent.com Inc., 5800 St-Denis Street, Suite 604, Montreal, Québec, Canada, H2S 3L5, Attention: Legal Department.
The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Talent.com may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Talent.com shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.
Except as expressly provided herein, any arbitration will be conducted pursuant to the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), or such other alternative dispute resolution body and arbitration rules that may be mutually agreed upon by you and Talent.com (the “Arbitration Rules”). Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by such rules. Should the AAA be unavailable, unable, or unwilling to accept and administer the arbitration of any claim under Agreement to Arbitrate as written, the parties shall agree on a substitute arbitration organization, such as JAMS, that will enforce the arbitration provisions as written. The parties will select a single arbitrator, but in the event that the parties are unable to agree, the arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator will be a practicing attorney with significant expertise in litigating and/or presiding over cases involving the substantive legal areas involved in the dispute. The arbitration will be concluded within three months of the date the arbitrator is appointed. More information about arbitration, including the Arbitration Rules, is available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.
Unless otherwise provided by the applicable arbitration rules, any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, including any potentially recoverable attorneys’ fees, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; or (b) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and Talent.com may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
YOU AND TALENT.COM AGREE THAT CLAIMS MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL, NON-CLASS, AND NON-REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, AND THAT CLAIMS OF TWO OR MORE PERSONS MAY NOT BE JOINED OR CONSOLIDATED ABSENT CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND TALENT.COM HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JURY, EVEN FOR DISPUTES NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. You and Talent.com agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration and will instead be adjudicated by the appropriate court of the state where you are located: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or Talent.com intellectual property rights; (2) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy or unauthorized use by you; and (3) any claim or dispute for which applicable law (as determined by a binding court decision) or the applicable arbitration rules do not permit arbitration and require adjudication in a specific civil court.
You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in this Section A.10 by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to Talent.com Inc., 5800 St-Denis Street, Suite 604, Montreal, Québec, Canada, H2S 3L5, Attention: Legal Department or to Talent.com Inc., c/o Kabat Chapman & Ozmer LLP, 171 17th Street NW, Suite 1550, Atlanta GA 30363. The written notice must include: (1) name; (2) address; (3) phone number; and (4) a clear statement that you wish to opt out of this Agreement to Arbitrate. The notice must be sent to Talent.com within thirty (30) days of you registering to use the Services or agreeing to these Terms of Service, whichever occurs first, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of Section A.10. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them. Please note that you will continue to be bound by any older arbitration provision that you did not out opt of and any arbitration provision that otherwise governs the Disputes.
Unless prohibited by applicable law or the Arbitration Rules, the substantially prevailing party in any Dispute between the parties may recover their reasonable costs and fees incurred in connection with such matter, including reasonable attorneys’ fees
If any provision of this Agreement to Arbitrate is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced, except that if the class action waiver above is found unenforceable, the entire Agreement to Arbitrate is void, other than the jury waiver provision.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information. You agree to notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized use of your Employer Account or access to your password.
As an Employer, your account is for business use and not for personal use. You are solely responsible for all activity, acts or omissions of any person or entity that has access or use of your account (your “Authorized Users”).

In addition to your Job Ads, you may provide other recruitment-related data or information, including, without limitation, screening requirements, screening questions, screening criteria, company information, links, logos and trademarks and any other data and information submitted by you and your Authorized Users to the Service (the “Employer User Content”).

By submitting Job Ads to Talent.com, including using a paid feature of our Services, you agree that Talent.com is under no obligation to accept, publish, or distribute your Job Ads or other Employer User Content, including if they do not comply with this Agreement. Talent.com may, under its sole discretion, require Employer User Content and/or Employers to be verified to prevent fraud or abuse of our Services, to improve our Services, or for any other reason.
You agree that Talent.com may solely determine which Job Ads will be distributed to which Distribution Channels. However, you acknowledge and accept that we have no control over the Distribution Channels or communication networks, and therefore we provide no guarantee that your Job Ads will be accepted by an entity in the Distribution Channels or be received, read and/or responded to by a Job Seeker. You accept that entities in the Distribution Channels have no obligation to use or display a Job Ad and may reject a Job Ad for any reason or no reason. You agree that Talent.com is not liable to you or any third party if your Job Ad is rejected or not posted, and you will not be entitled to any refund for Job Ad not posted or distributed. By submitting a Job Ad, you give us permission to distribute that Job Ad and any other Employer User Content in the Distribution Channels.
Talent.com does not guarantee any responses or any number of responses to your Job Ad, nor does it guarantee any number of views, clicks, or applications, or that any responses to your Job Ad will be from individuals suitable for the job vacancy you advertised. We do not verify the identity of any Job Seekers who respond to your Job Ad and thus make no guarantee as to the quality of candidates that you will receive as a result of your Job Ad. You are solely responsible for interviewing, performing background and reference checks on, verifying the information provided by Job Seekers, and for selecting an appropriate candidate. Talent.com also assumes no responsibility for the communications between you and any Job Seeker.

More specifically, you represent and agree that that: (i) you will use the Personal Data of Job Seekers contained within any Job Application or otherwise obtained or accessed by you through the Services (the “Data”), in accordance with applicable communication, privacy and data protection laws and only for legitimate employment purposes; (ii) you shall not further disclose any such Data to a third party, unless you are an authorized third-party acting on behalf of a client, and you are accessing the Data to source candidates on behalf of your clients for legitimate employment purposes; (iii) you will implement appropriate physical, technical, and administrative measures to protect the Data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction, and you will notify Talent.com immediately in the event of any suspected or actual unauthorized access or disclosure of such Data; (iv) you will not use the contact information from Job Applications to send unsolicited mail, emails, phone calls, text messages, or faxes regarding promotions and/or advertising of your or a third party’s products or services, or to contact or source job seekers for career fairs and business opportunities; and (vi) you will respect the privacy choices of Job Seekers.
For the purposes of this Agreement, “Personal Data” means any information or pieces of information that could identify an individual either directly (e.g. a name) or indirectly (e.g. through pseudonymized data, such as a unique ID number). This means that Personal Data includes things like email/home addresses, usernames, profile pictures, personal preferences, financial information, as well as unique numerical identifiers like a computer’s IP address.
Talent.com makes no representations or warranties regarding any content provided or generated by third parties, including, without limitation, Job Applications. You accept that Talent.com acts as a passive conduit for receipt of Job Applications and has no obligation to screen such information, verify the identity of the person submitting the Job Application, or verify the accuracy of the data or content contained in the Job Application. We do not guarantee any response or the number of responses to your Job Ads or that any responses will be from individuals suitable for the job vacancy you advertised. It is your responsibility to carry out such checks and procedures as are necessary to ensure that individuals who respond to your Job Ads have the required qualifications to meet your requirements.
In addition, you agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Talent.com at your own expense against all costs, claims, damages or expenses incurred by Talent.com for which we may become liable due to any failure by you or your personnel or agents to comply with any of your obligations under this Section and applicable data protection and privacy laws and regulations.
In some instances, you may be able to use Talent.com’s tools for the purpose of measuring the performance of your Job Ads, including for instance, Talent.com’s conversion pixels or server to server integration. These tools are provided as a courtesy, and we may disable them at any time. You are solely responsible for your use of the pixels on your website, and Talent.com disclaims all liability related to such use and provides no warranty regarding the proper functioning of the pixel, any numbers reported, or that use of the pixels would be error free. You are advised not to rely on the pixel. Any such tracking pixel, or analytics generated thereby, shall not be used to dispute or challenge our click count, which is binding. You agree not to use the information collected using tracking pixels for any purpose other than for measuring the performance of your Job Ads. For example, you may not use the pixel to profile users or for behavioral analytics. To the extent you decide to use such pixels, you agree to be in compliance with all applicable laws, including, but not limited to, privacy and data protection laws and, among other things, update your privacy and cookie policy to describe the use of such pixels and to seek consent for the use of the pixel from users when they enter your website. You agree to defend and indemnify Talent.com from any claim arising from your use of such pixel.

10. Claims of Infringement
Copyright laws, such as the Copyright Act in Canada or The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 in the US, and similar laws in other jurisdiction provide recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under applicable copyright laws. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by Talent.com infringes your copyright under any applicable copyright laws, you (or your agent) may send us a notice in the form prescribed by regulation requesting that the material be removed or access to it blocked. The notice shall (a) state the claimant’s name and address and any other particulars prescribed by regulation that enable communication with the claimant; (b) identify the work or other subject-matter to which the claimed infringement relates; (c) state the claimant’s interest or right with respect to the copyright in the work or other subject-matter; (d) specify the location data for the electronic location to which the claimed infringement relates; (e) specify the infringement that is claimed; (f) specify the date and time of the commission of the claimed infringement; and (g) contain any other information that may be prescribed by regulation.
If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, you may send Talent.com a counter-notice.

Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Website should be sent in writing to Talent.com Inc., 5800 St-Denis Street, Suite 604, Montreal, Québec, Canada, H2S 3L5, Attention: Legal Department. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there are penalties for false claims under certain copyright laws.

11. Privacy and Security
Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information regarding how we collect, process, share and store your Personal Data
Unfortunately, the transmission of information over the Internet is not completely secure and we cannot, therefore, guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat our security measures or use your personal data for improper purposes. You acknowledge that you provide your personal data at your own risk. Any actual or attempted use of the Services by you in violation of this Agreement may result in criminal and/or civil prosecution.

We continuously test our system for potential breaches and have developed a Bug Bounty program that proactively encourages and rewards third parties for identifying security vulnerabilities on our site. We have dedicated resources monitoring our servers for any potential intrusions or vulnerabilities. We encrypt our data while stored and in transit and have strict access control policies within our organization to control access to the data. No system is 100% secure, so we dedicate resources to ensure that we minimize the risk of leaks, breaches, or hacks.

Privacy Policy
Last update: February 15, 2023(previous version)
ABOUT OUR PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy describes how Talent.com Inc. (“Talent.com,” “we,” “our” or “us”) and our affiliates handle the data collected and processed while you use our websites (the “Website”), our mobile applications, our other online products and services and while you communicate with us via email, texts and other form of communications (together, the “Services”). Talent.com is committed to protecting your privacy through our compliance with our Privacy Policy.
Each time you use or access any of our Services, you do so by accepting this Privacy Policy. If you do not accept this Privacy Policy, then you should not use our Services. We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time by notifying you as provided in this Privacy Policy. Your continued use of the Services after any such change constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
1. Who Controls Your Data
Talent.com Inc. is a global company based in Canada. Talent.com Inc. controls the data collected and processed through our Services.
Under most circumstances, if you reside in North America (the United States, Canada, and Mexico), Talent.com acts as your service provider and processor of your Personal Data. For all other users, Talent.com acts as a controller of your Personal Data.
2. Types of Data We Collect
Depending on your interaction with us, meaning, if you are a visitor browsing our Website, or if you have registered as a user of our Services, either as a job seeker (“Job Seeker”) or as someone looking to hire or make available information regarding employment openings (“Job Ads”) on your behalf or on someone else’s behalf (“Employer”), we collect and process two types of information about you:
2.1 Personal Data:
This is the type of data that identifies you as a natural person, or that may be used, either alone or in combination with other information, to personally identify you as a natural person. As used in this Privacy Policy, “Personal Data” may include:
  • Your first name, last name, Social Media profile or similar identifier (“Identity Data”);
  • Your physical address, email address, social media address, mobile or landline telephone number, location data and other contact information you may provide (“Contact Data”);
  • Your username and password, user preferences, profile-linked user-generated content such as Job Ads, curriculum vitae (CV)/resume, job searches (keyword(s) and location typed in the search bar or displayed on the job posting), candidate searches, feedback and survey responses (“Profile Data”);
  • Your applicant-linked user-generated content such as job applications, curriculum vitae (CV)/resume, cover letter and answers to employers screening questions (“Application Data”);
  • Details about your subscription to our Service and payments for such Services (“Transaction Data”) and billing, banking and payment card information (“Financial Data”). However, please note that credit card numbers are not collected by us directly, but by secure payment service providers;
  • Certain technical data about the equipment you use to access our Services (“Technical Data”) and the way you use our Services (“Usage Data”). This Technical and Usage Data may be considered Personal Data in certain jurisdictions. We refer you to Section 3.3 of this Privacy Policy for more information about Technical Data and Usage Data.
2.2 Non-Personal Data:
This is the type of data that is non-personal and non-identifiable data that cannot personally identify or lead to identifying a natural person. For example, personal data that is aggregated or converted into statistics or anonymized can no longer be attributed to you and is therefore considered Non-Personal Data. In the event we combine Personal Data with Non-Personal Data, the combined information will be treated as Personal Data for as long as it remains combined.
2.3 Sensitive Personal Data:
To use our Services, you are not required to provide us with any Sensitive Personal Data. Sensitive Personal Data includes, for example, information about racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, philosophical beliefs or trade union membership, genetic and biometric data and data concerning health, sex life or sexual orientation. If you are a Job Seeker responding to a Job Advertisement, sharing your resume with a prospective Employer, or answering questions from a prospective Employer while using our Services, please carefully consider the information that you share and ensure that you are not providing any Sensitive Personal Data or other information that is not necessary for your job application or job search.
You are not required by law to provide us with any information. You can always avoid providing us certain Personal Data; however, you acknowledge that it may prevent us from providing you certain Services.
3. When do we collect your Personal Data and why
3.1 Personal Data Employers send us
When you are using our Services as an Employer, you may provide your Identity Data, Contact Data, Profile Data, Transaction Data and Financial Data to us when you:
  • create an employer account;
  • post or distribute Job Advertisement using our Services;
  • if you opt in to receive newsletters or other communications about new or existing features or functionalities that might be of interest to you;
  • request information to be sent to you
  • use our customer service or support, or make technical request;
  • provide feedback to us or respond to a survey;
  • when you communicate with us on any transactional or other matters.
In those circumstances, we use your Personal Data among other things for our legitimate business interest to perform and improve the Services you have requested, to respond to your inquiries and provide you with the support, information and communications you have asked to receive and to generally perform the agreement between you and us. When you communicate with us over the phone, your calls may be recorded and analyzed for training, quality control and for sales and marketing purposes. During such calls, we will notify you of the recording via either voice prompt or script. When you participate in a survey, we collect information that you provide through the survey. If the survey is provided by a third-party service provider, the third party’s privacy policy applies to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information. Participation in any such surveys is completely voluntary and you, therefore, have a choice whether to disclose such information.
3.2 Personal Data Job Seekers send us
When you are using our Services as a Job Seeker, you may provide us with your Identity Data, Contact Data, Profile Data and Application Data when you:
  • create a job seeker account;
  • sign up for job alerts;
  • apply to a Job Advertisement posted on our Website, mobile application or through sponsored advertisements that we have on third party sites;
  • use our customer service or support, or make technical request;
  • provide feedback to us or respond to a survey;
  • when you communicate with us on any matters.
In those circumstances, we use your Personal Data among other things for our legitimate interest to perform and improve the Services you have requested or to respond to your inquiries and provide you with the support, information and communications you have asked to receive and to generally perform the agreement between you and us. When you subscribe to our email or SMS job alerts, we use your email or phone number, based on your consent, to send you personalized and relevant job listings related to your job search. You may manage your alerts or unsubscribe at any time from our job alerts Services. See Section 8 of this Privacy Policy for details on how to unsubscribe to our Services.
When you apply for a job through our Website or mobile application, we collect and use your Application Data, based on your consent, to send to the Employer whose Job Advertisement you responded to. This data is then associated with your Job Seeker account, so you can easily apply for subsequent jobs without having to re-enter your application information every time. Sometimes, when applying for a job, you may be redirected to the Employer’s website or application tracking system. In such a case, we do not collect your Application Data. See Section 4.1 of this Privacy Policy for more details on how your Application Data is treated.
3.3 Technical and Usage Data we collect automatically
As is true of most websites, as you interact with our Website or use our mobile application, we may automatically collect technical data about your computer and mobile device. This may include information such as Internet Protocol (IP) address (a number that is automatically assigned to a computer when the Internet is used) and other device identifier, your login data, access dates and times, browser type and version, device information, cookie data, time zone setting and location data, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, mobile phone carrier identification, the language your system uses and other technology on the devices you use to access our Services. We refer to this as “Technical Data”. We may also collect information about how you use our Services, such as your browsing actions and patterns, which links you click on, or information that you type into pages or forms we present to you. If you receive email or other form of electronic communication from us, we use certain tools to capture data related to when you open our messages, click on any links or banners it contains and subscribe to our Services. We refer to this as “Usage Data”.
We collect this Technical and Usage Data by using cookies, pixels, server logs and other similar technologies. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to a computer’s hard drive while a website is viewed. We may also receive Technical Data and Usage Data about you if you visit other websites employing our cookies and other similar technologies, including on third-party websites where we publish Job Advertisements. Read our Cookie Policy for more information on our use of cookies and other tracking technologies.
We have a legitimate business interest in collecting Technical Data and Usage Data as this allows us to make our Website and mobile applications operate efficiently, to improve our Services, to monitor, detect and prevent fraudulent activities on our Website, to customize your experience when using our Services, to help us analyze how our Services are used and assist us in our marketing efforts. More specifically, we may use Technical Data and Usage Data to, among other things:
  • Respond to customer service requests;
  • Administer your account;
  • Respond to your questions and concerns;
  • Improve our Services and marketing efforts;
  • Conduct research and analysis;
  • Display content based upon your interests.
3.4 Personal Data we receive from third parties
We may receive Personal Data in the form of Technical Data and Usage Data about you from various third parties such as our publishing and advertising partners and Employers. See our Cookie Policy for further information.
You may also create an account or log into your Talent.com account using third-party websites including, but not limited to LinkedIn or Google (“Social Media”). If you do not already have a Talent.com account but log into Talent.com using your Social Media account, this creates a Talent.com account using the same email address used in your Social Media account. If you agree to provide this information to Tale nt.com, your Social Media account will authenticate you and redirect you to Talent.com. When you log into Talent.com using your Social Media account, these Social Media will use cookies on our Website to authenticate you as a Social Media user.

4. When do we share your Personal Data and why
In addition to the specific situations discussed elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, we may share your Personal Data in the following situations:

This may include sharing the Application Data with the employer looking to hire, the agency recruiting on behalf of the employer and/or the external system such as an applicant tracking system used by the employer and/or the agency to manage the hiring of employees. Employer account holders agree to comply with all their responsibilities under applicable data protection laws with respect to the collection, processing, and storage of Personal Data, as well as providing adequate protection of all data subject rights provided for under all applicable data protection laws. When an Employer uses our Services, we will share Employer-related information with Job Seekers. This may include publishing Job Advertisements, company pages, and salary information on our Website and mobile applications. We may also share this information on third-party websites.
4.2 Publishing Partners, Employers and Advertising Partners
We may share Personal Data in the form of Technical Data and Usage Data with third parties part of our ecosystem including partners in our publishing network and employers. We may also participate in behavior-based advertising. This means that a third party uses technology (e.g., a cookie) to collect information about your use of our Website so that they can provide advertising about products and services tailored to your interests on our Website, or on other websites. See our Cookie Policy for further information.
4.3 Service providers
We share your information with service providers that we use to support our business or help provide our Services to you, including, but not limited to, third parties that host our Website, assist us to verify your identity, perform website and platform maintenance, risk assessments, and security, perform data and web analytics, provide databases, IT services, customer service, payment platforms and credit card processing, communication services, and email services. Our service providers will be given access to your Personal Data as is reasonably necessary to provide the Website and related Services. Our service providers are contractually obligated to use your Personal Data only at our direction, to handle your Personal Data in confidence, and to not disclose your Personal Data to unauthorized third parties. However, certain of those service providers provide services pursuant to standard terms and conditions that may be non-negotiable. These service providers have informed us or the general public that they apply security measures they consider adequate for the protection of information within their system, or they have a general reputation for applying such measures. However, we will not be liable (to the fullest extent permitted by law) for any damages that may result from the misuse of any information, including Personal Data, by these companies.
4.4 Affiliates and acquisitions
We may share information with our corporate affiliates (e.g., parent company, sister companies, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common control). If another company acquires, or plans to acquire, our company, business or our assets, we will also share information with that company, including at the negotiation stage.
4.5 Other disclosures with your consent
If we otherwise intend to disclose your Personal Data to a third party not otherwise described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, we will identify that third party and the purpose for the disclosure and obtain your consent.
4.6 Other disclosures without your consent
We may disclose information in response to subpoenas, warrants, or court orders, or in connection with any legal process, or to comply with relevant laws. We may also share your information in order to establish or exercise our rights, to defend against a legal claim, to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding possible illegal activities, suspected fraud, safety of person or property, or a violation of our policies, or to comply with your request for the shipment of products to or the provision of services by a third-party intermediary.
4.7 Public
Our Website may provide the opportunity to post comments, or reviews, in a public forum. If you decide to submit information on these pages, that information may be publicly available.
Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we do not sell, trade, rent or otherwise share for marketing purposes your Personal Data with third parties without your consent. We may use or share Non-Personal Data in any of the above circumstances, as well as for the purpose of providing and improving our Service and for commercial use.
5. How long do we keep your Personal Data
The length of time for which we retain Personal Data depends on the purposes for which we collected and use it and/or as required to comply with applicable laws. Where there are technical limitations that prevent deletion or anonymization, we safeguard Personal Data and limit active use of it.
6. How do we protect your Personal Data
We implement security measures designed to protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access. We apply these tools based on the sensitivity of the Personal Data we collect, use, and store, and the current state of technology. We protect your Personal Data through technical and organizational security measures to minimize risks associated with data loss, misuse, unauthorized access, and unauthorize disclosure and alteration. We periodically review our information collection, storage and processing practices, including technical and organizational measures, to guard against unauthorized access to systems. Your account is protected by your account password, and we urge you to take steps to keep your Personal Data safe by not disclosing your password and by logging out of your account after each use.
Because the internet is not a completely secure environment, we cannot warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or guarantee that information on the Website may not be accessed, disclosed, altered and/or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical and/or managerial safeguards. In addition, while we take reasonable measure to ensure that service providers keep your information confidential and secure, such service provider’s practices are ultimately beyond our control. We are not responsible for the functionality, privacy and/or security measures of any other organization. By using our Services, you acknowledge that you understand and agree to assume these risks. You may ask for a list of technical and organizational measures taken to protect your Personal Data by e-mailing us at: [email protected].
7. Where do we store and process your Personal Data
Our company operates globally and has a global infrastructure. We may store or process your Personal Data in various countries, including the United States, Canada and the European Economic Area (“EEA”), depending on the type of Personal Data processed. If you visit our Website or use our Services from locations outside of the United States, please note that any information you provide to us through your use of our Website or Service may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the country from which you accessed our Websites or Services. As a result, your Personal Data may be transferred to countries outside your country of residence, which may have different data protection rules than in your country. While such Personal Data is outside of your country, it is subject to the laws of the country in which it is located and may be subject to disclosure to the governments, courts or law enforcement or regulatory agencies of such other country, pursuant to the laws of such country. However, we will take the necessary steps to ensure that international transfers of Personal Data meet all requirements under applicable data protection laws and this Privacy Policy. When Personal Data collected within the EEA or the United Kingdom is transferred outside the EEA or the United Kingdom, we will take the steps necessary to ensure that the transfer of such data provides sufficient safeguards. For example, we will do so by transferring Personal Data to jurisdictions which, according to the European Commission and the Court of Justice of the European Union, offer an adequate level of protection to Personal Data or pursuant to standard contractual clauses approved by the European Union.
Personal Data transferred outside the EEA for processing by AWS on its servers in the United States, and among the company’s affiliates, in both cases is accomplished pursuant to standard contractual clauses approved by the European Union. If you would like to understand more about these arrangements and your rights in connection therewith, please contact our Privacy Officer at [email protected].
8. Your choices
You can take the following actions that will change or limit the collection or use of your Personal Data.
8.1 Unsubscribe to Job Alerts
If you wish to unsubscribe to job alerts, you may do so by clicking on the “Unsubscribe from Job Alert” link located at the bottom of any email alert. You can then click on the “Delete” button next to the alert you wish to remove. In the case of SMS or WhatsApp Job Alerts, if offered in your region, you can unsubscribe by replying “STOP” to the messages you received or clicking on the unsubscribe link you received via your mobile device, as the case may be. You may also edit or unsubscribe to job alerts in your account profile, under the “My notifications” tab. Find out more on how to unsubscribe to our Services in our Terms of Service.
8.2 Unsubscribe to promotional or marketing emails
You may choose to provide us with your email address for the purpose of allowing us to send offers and other promotional/marketing materials to you, as well as targeted offers from third parties. You can stop receiving promotional/marketing emails by following the unsubscribe instructions in e-mails that you receive and also adjust your email preferences in the “My notifications” tab in your account profile. If you decline to receive promotional and/or marketing emails, we may still send you transactional and Service-related messages.
8.3 Purge your account
If you wish to delete all information associated with your account, you may do so by logging into your account, clicking on the “Settings” section, and then on “Purge my account information”. You will no longer have access to any of the data we make available under that account, including but not limited to, search history, job search preferences, saved jobs, jobs that you have applied to, job alerts, resume, and any other data associated with the account. You should note that we reserve the right to keep any materials in a closed account as necessary to preserve and protect our rights to the extent permitted by law (for example, to preserve records of a dispute) or to comply with our obligations under local law (for example, if requested to retain by law enforcement). A closed account does not mean that all of the data is expunged from our systems, although it will not be readily available under your original account. You should also realize that when you apply for a job through our Website or mobile application and you purge your account thereafter, the job application may still be accessible to us and the Employer who received it, as a record of a transaction that occurred on our Website, as well as any messages sent to or received from you. If you are a Job Seeker and want to delete a job application performed outside of our Website, please note that your applications and materials may be controlled by an Employer, and we may direct you to that Employer for Personal Data deletion requests where that Personal Data is held by that Employer.
8.4 Device and usage information
If you do not want us to see your device location, you can turn off location sharing on your device, change your device privacy settings, or decline to share location on your browser.
8.5 Cookies Settings
In some jurisdictions, we are required to obtain your consent for the use of cookies and other tracking technologies. In such a case, you have the option to reject the use of certain cookies. To find out more, read our Cookie Policy.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Privacy laws in various countries and regions of the world including, without limitation, Canada, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Brazil, the Province of Québec and the State of California, provide residents of these regions with certain rights with respect to their Personal Data. Talent.com is committed to complying with all applicable privacy laws and providing GDPR-type rights to all our users globally. You can make the following choices regarding your Personal Data:
9.1 Access to your Personal Data
You may request access to your personal information by contacting us at the address described below. If required by law, upon request, we will grant you reasonable access to the personal information that we have about you. We will provide this information in a portable format, if required.
9.2 Changes to your Personal Data
We will take steps to ensure that your Personal Data is kept as accurate, complete and up-to-date as reasonably necessary. We will not routinely update your Personal Data, unless such a process is necessary. However, we rely on you to update and correct your Personal Data. Our Website allows you to modify or delete your account profile. If our Website does not permit you to update or correct certain information, you may contact us at the address described below in order to request that your information be modified. Note that we may keep historical information in our backup files as permitted by law.
9.3 Objections/restrictions to your Personal Data
You have the right to object to how Personal Data is processed in relation to public interest/official authority and our legitimate interests as well as direct marketing purposes – including profiling under both. You also have the right to request that processing of your Personal Data be restricted where its accuracy or lawfulness is contested.
9.4 Deletion of your Personal Data
Typically, we retain your Personal Data for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Where certain grounds apply, the law authorizes you to make a request that your personal information be deleted and triggers our corresponding obligation to comply, unless exceptions apply. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request for erasure and in such circumstances, will notify our reasons to you.
9.5 Move, copy or export Personal Data
This is known as the Right to Portability. You have the right to request that your Personal Data be forwarded to a third party.
9.6 Provision and revocation of consent
You have the right to provide, decline consent to the use, disclosure, and processing of Personal Data. If you’ve already provided consent, you also have the right to revoke it. This will not impact the legality of use, disclosure, or processing prior to revocation. If you revoke your consent for the use, disclosure or processing of Personal Data, then we may no longer be able to provide you Services. In some cases, we may deny your request to revoke consent if the law permits or requires us to do so – such as when we are unable to adequately verify your identity. You may revoke consent to processing (where such processing is based upon consent) by contacting us at the address described below. If applicable, you may have the right to request information about the use of any automated decision system and the impact they may have on you.
Please note that your rights are not absolute, meaning that in some circumstances, exceptions exist under applicable law. The law may provide exemptions from requests involving your Personal Data. For example, in order to provide our Services to you, deleting your Personal Data may prevent you from accessing or using such Services.
10. Complaints
We are committed to resolving valid complaints about your privacy and our collection or use of your Personal Data. To exercise any of your rights or for questions or complaints regarding our data use practices or this Privacy Policy, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to any such requests in a timely manner as specified by applicable privacy laws. If we need more time to fulfill your request, we will let you know in advance. We will not exceed the legally specified time limit under any circumstance.
Note that, as required by law, we may require you to prove your identity. We may verify your identity by phone call or email. Depending on your request, we will ask for information such as your name or other account information. We may also ask you to provide a signed declaration confirming your identity. Following a request, we will use reasonable efforts to supply, correct or delete personal information about you in our files.
In some circumstances, you may designate an authorized agent to submit requests to exercise certain privacy rights on your behalf. We will require verification that you provided the authorized agent permission to make a request on your behalf. You must provide us with a copy of the signed permission you have given to the authorized agent to submit the request on your behalf and verify your own identity directly with us.
Should you remain unsatisfied with our response to your request or complaint, you have the right to contact your local data protection authority.
11. Children and Minors
Talent.com does not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under the age of fourteen (14), or, if located in the EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, under the age of sixteen (16). If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under the age of fourteen (14), or sixteen (16) and located in the EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we will delete such information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under the age of fourteen (14) or sixteen (16) and located in the EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland may have provided us personal information, please contact us at: [email protected].

Last update: February 15, 2023 (previous version)
ABOUT OUR COOKIE POLICY
This Cookie Policy describes how Talent.com Inc. (“Talent.com”, “we”, “our” or “us”) and our affiliates use cookies, web beacons, pixels, server logs and other similar technologies when you visit our websites, use our mobile applications (together, our "Website" or "Services) or visit other websites employing our cookies.
1. What are cookies, pixels, web beacons and other similar technologies?
A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that your browser will store on your computer or mobile device, when you visit a website, in order to remember information about you.
A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the cookie, and a randomly generated unique number or other value. Certain cookies will be used on the Website regardless of whether you are logged in to your account or not.
Cookies are either “session cookies” or “persistent cookies”. Session cookies are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the Website. Persistent cookies remain in the cookie file of your browser for much longer (though how long will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie).
Cookies are either first-party cookies or third-party cookies. First-party cookies are placed on our Website by Talent.com. In general, these cookies allow Talent.com to remember your preference settings and perform other useful functions that provide a good user experience when you visit our Website.
Third-party cookies are set on our Website by a domain other than Talent.com. They are placed on our Website by our third party partners, for various purposes including to perform analytics, detect or prevent fraud or collect information about your activities on our Website and serve you better targeted advertising.
We may also use other forms of tracking technologies similar to a cookie, such as pixels, web beacons and clear gifs. A “pixel” or “pixel tag” is a small piece of code that can be embedded on websites and emails. They are used to learn how you interact with our web pages and emails. “Web beacons” or “clear gifs” help deliver cookies and gather usage and performance data. We and/or our third-party providers may employ web beacons to help us better manage content on our Website by informing us of what content is effective. In addition, we may also use clear gifs in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened by recipients.
We may also use mobile analytics software to allow us to better understand the functionality of our mobile software on your phone. This software may record information such as how often you use the application, the events that occur within the application, aggregated usage, performance data, and where the application was downloaded from.
In this Cookie Policy, we use the term “cookies” to include cookies, web beacons, pixels, server logs and other similar technologies.
2. How do we use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
Purpose Description
Your Preferences & User Experience We use cookies to gather certain information about users, such as browser type, server, language preference, and country setting, in order to store user preferences on our Website to make your user experience more consistent and convenient. For example, we may store the recent searches you have performed in a cookie so that we can allow you to easily repeat those searches when you return to our Website. In addition, we use cookies to maintain your logged in state when you visit our Website repeatedly.
Security and Performance We use cookies for security reasons, to prevent fraud and spamming and for compliance purposes, to ensure that we respond to your cookie preference settings. We also use cookies to ensure users receive a consistent user experience while we conduct A/B testing on certain aspects of our Website in order to improve our product offerings. We also use cookies to improve the performance and reliability of our Website.
Referral and Conversion Tracking We use cookies to measure the performance of job postings we publish as part of our Services. We use these tracking technologies on our Website and on third-party websites, including websites of our clients and partners. These cookies allow us to know what to charge our clients for the Services we render, based on the clicks to their job postings and what to pay our partners for the users they refer to our Website. We also use cookies and pixels to track when a user interested in a job posting applies to such job, on our clients' websites.
We do not share any personal information about our users with these partners or with our clients, unless we receive express consent from our users to do so. Also, our partners and clients agree not to use the information collected using our cookies for any purpose other than for measuring the performance of the job postings we publish.
Analytical Purposes We may use cookies to analyze user activity in order to improve the functionality and user experience of our Website. For example, we can use cookies to look at aggregate patterns like the average number of job searches that users perform. We can use such analysis to gain insights about how to improve the functionality and user experience of our Website.
Marketing We use cookies from third-party partners for measurement services, better targeting advertisements, and for marketing purposes. Our third-party advertising partners may use these technologies to identify your browsing interests over time and across different websites to deliver targeted advertisements and other content that has been customized for you.
We may also share information about your behavior on our Website with third parties in order to show you targeted advertisements and other content that has been customized for you. We also use cookies to determine which advertisements users have seen, how many times users have seen a particular advertisement, and on which sites a particular advertisement appeared.
