You provide different types of information in order for JOBSEEKERS.IE to provide our services, products and features to you. JOBSEEKERS.IE associates this information with your Resume and account to create your JOBSEEKERS.IE Profile.
2.1 Information You Provide to JOBSEEKERS.IE
– From Your Account
We collect data from you when you create an JOBSEEKERS.IE account, request information, subscribe for a service, participate in a survey, post a rating or review, post a question or answer, post a resume, complete an JOBSEEKERS.IE Assessment, upload content or otherwise actively send us data on our Site.

This information may be associated with your profile. You may provide your specific location data when you provide it yourself on the JOBSEEKERS.IE Apps (as defined in the JOBSEEKERS.IE Terms of Service Introduction) to help you find more relevant Job Listings (including from the location service on your mobile device when you grant permission to an JOBSEEKERS.IE App), or when you submit a photo to Job Spotter that includes the provision of the location data of where the photo was taken. JOBSEEKERS.IE seeks your consent at the time of such provision, and such processing will only be performed where consent is secured.
– Through Your Activity on JOBSEEKERS.IE
In addition, as part of the standard operation of the Site, JOBSEEKERS.IE may collect and analyze information from your computer or mobile device and actions taken on the Site, including, but not limited to, your resume, your searches on JOBSEEKERS.IE, the titles of jobs you search, click on or apply to, where those jobs are located, salary interest or experience, the general salary range or experience level of the jobs you view (where indicated), your activity time on the Site and each page, page views, clicks, taps, session activity, browser type, operating system, type of device, MAC address, IP address and the domain name from which you accessed the Site.
– When Using Automated Phone Screening
If you use any automated phone screening product, JOBSEEKERS.IE will record and store your answers to an Employer’s screening questions and will forward your answers to the Employer. Where you wish to use such a product, you will agree in advance to JOBSEEKERS.IE listening to and analyzing the recording in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
– When Providing Employer Information
If you are an Employer, JOBSEEKERS.IE may request that you provide certain Personal Data to JOBSEEKERS.IE in order to verify your account. This information may include, but may not be limited to, your Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN), Business Registration information, or a utility bill, the name and email address of an Employer representative.
This information will be used for internal purposes only, subject to any request by law enforcement or a court order. In connection with chargeable services, we will also collect payment information (e.g., the last four digits of credit card numbers and related verification information). Please note that JOBSEEKERS.IE only has access to the last four digits of Employer credit card numbers, and does not store full credit card numbers.
2.2 Information Collected When You Apply for Jobs or Access JOBSEEKERS.IE from Some Third-Party Websites
– When You Apply to Jobs on Some Third-Party Sites
JOBSEEKERS.IE may also collect information about web sites and web pages you visit through our mobile software or while using JOBSEEKERS.IE for Chrome about job postings that you save, notes or applications statuses that you save or update, or data regarding how you engage with websites or other actions you take on such website, including URLs of websites you visit. We do this in order to allow a Job Seeker to keep a record of particular Job Listings of interest, to detect a job application form on a third-party website to give a Job Seeker the option to auto-fill parts of the form using JOBSEEKERS.IE Resume, or to confirm an application. JOBSEEKERS.IE for Chrome also allows JOBSEEKERS.IE to learn about what types of jobs and JOBSEEKERS.IE product features are of interest to you, so that we can provide you with improved job listing searches, job listing recommendations and product features.
When you apply for a job on certain Third-Party Websites, JOBSEEKERS.IE may also receive information about the status of your job application and the decisions taken by the Employer in disposing of your application, such as, for example, whether the application reached interview stage and whether a job offer was accepted or rejected. This information helps JOBSEEKERS.IE further understand the effectiveness of our Site and its features. JOBSEEKERS.IE uses this information for the purpose of improving the products and services we offer to Job Seekers and Employers and as otherwise detailed in section 4 of this Privacy Policy.
– When You Log In or Use JOBSEEKERS.IE from Some Third-Party Sites
You may also create an account or log in to your JOBSEEKERS.IE account using third-party websites including, but not limited to, Facebook or Google. If you do not already have an JOBSEEKERS.IE account but log in to JOBSEEKERS.IE using your Facebook or Google account, this creates an JOBSEEKERS.IE account using the same email address used in your Facebook or Google account. If you agree to provide this information to JOBSEEKERS.IE, Facebook or Google will authenticate you and redirect you to JOBSEEKERS.IE’s Site. Please note, when you log in to JOBSEEKERS.IE using your Facebook or Google account, Facebook or Google will cookie you in order to authenticate you as a Facebook or Google user.
By accessing JOBSEEKERS.IE through your Facebook or Google account, you understand that Facebook or Google will share certain data detailed in the above paragraph for the purposes of authentication to permit you to access our Site in a secure manner. You may stop this at any point from your Facebook or Google account. This information will be considered JOBSEEKERS.IE account information for purposes of your use of the Site.
You have the ability to disable the connection between your Facebook or Google account and your JOBSEEKERS.IE account at any time by accessing your privacy settings on your Facebook or Google account. Facebook or Google may also ask for your permission to share certain other details with JOBSEEKERS.IE, including but not limited to your name, profile picture, public profile information, and email address. Once you give this permission, the requested information will be shared with JOBSEEKERS.IE, which may use this information to provide Services to you, including populating your JOBSEEKERS.IE profile. The shared information will remain associated with your JOBSEEKERS.IE profile until you modify or delete it.
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FACEBOOK OR GOOGLE OR ANY OTHER THIRD-PARTY WEBSITE IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT WITH SUCH THIRD-PARTY WEBSITE.
2.3 Any Other Personal Data JOBSEEKERS.IE May Receive from Third Parties
Any Personal Data that JOBSEEKERS.IE may obtain from other third-party sources will be processed by JOBSEEKERS.IE in accordance with this Privacy Policy and all applicable laws.
2.4 Storage of Your Information
JOBSEEKERS.IE stores your personal data until it is no longer necessary to provide our services or until you ask us to delete your personal data. As one example, if an employer deletes a job application in their candidate dashboard on JOBSEEKERS.IE, JOBSEEKERS.IE may delete information associated with that application. As another example, after an application has been delivered to an employer, JOBSEEKERS.IE may retain a copy of that application for a limited time and then delete the copy. We may also be required to retain certain information in order to comply with local laws.
If you create an JOBSEEKERS.IE account, your information may be collected and stored in a manner that connects to your account email address. JOBSEEKERS.IE may also create and assign to your device an identifier that is similar to an account number. We may collect the name you have associated with your device, device type, telephone number, country, and any other information you choose to provide, such as user name, email address, or zip code. For example, while using a mobile device to access JOBSEEKERS.IE, JOBSEEKERS.IE may provide a Job Seeker with relevant job postings that are located within the same zip code as where this activity is taking place. The collection of this data is solely used in accordance with the purposes outlined in sections 4, 5 and 9 of this Privacy Policy, to the extent applicable.
JOBSEEKERS.IE may also store the information detailed in this section 2 of the Privacy Policy on its equipment or the equipment of third parties that JOBSEEKERS.IE has a relationship with. Such storage services will be governed by appropriate protections, as required by applicable rules.
2.5 What Personal Data is Required
JOBSEEKERS.IE will indicate to you at the point of provision as to whether or not particular Personal Data provided by you is required in order to provide particular JOBSEEKERS.IE services or features to you. Where Personal Data that is required is not provided by you then the particular feature or service may not be available to you.
2.6 The Legal Basis on Which JOBSEEKERS.IE Collects Your Personal Data
JOBSEEKERS.IE collects and processes your Personal Data on the basis of different legal grounds, depending on the nature of the Personal Data being provided and the type of processing involved. More information is provided on this here.
– Performance of a Contract
Some of the Personal Data processed by JOBSEEKERS.IE is performed on the basis that it is necessary for the performance of our agreement with you, or in order to take steps at the request of the user prior to entering such an agreement. An example of this would be where JOBSEEKERS.IE sends a Job Seeker’s application to an Employer.
– Legitimate Interest
A second ground relied upon by JOBSEEKERS.IE for other types of processing of your Personal Data is that it is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by JOBSEEKERS.IE. Such legitimate interests will include where JOBSEEKERS.IE sends you marketing about our products and services, where we believe you have a reasonable expectation that we will perform a particular type of processing on your behalf, or where such processing is strictly necessary for fraud detection and prevention. A further example would be where JOBSEEKERS.IE shares your Personal Data with JOBSEEKERS.IE affiliates as detailed in section 4.13 below. JOBSEEKERS.IE will only rely on such a ground where an assessment has been performed balancing the interests and rights involved and the necessity of the processing in order to provide our services, products and features to you.
– Compliance with a Legal Obligation
A third ground relied upon for certain types of processing is that it is necessary in order to allow JOBSEEKERS.IE to comply with a legal obligation. An example of this would be where JOBSEEKERS.IE is required to retain business records for fixed periods of time in order to comply with local legal requirements.
– Consent
Finally, in certain limited situations, JOBSEEKERS.IE relies on your consent in order to process your Personal Data. Where JOBSEEKERS.IE requires your consent in order to collect and process certain Personal Data, we seek your consent at the time of provision, and such processing will only be performed where consent is secured. For example, your consent will be sought where you provide your location when you provide it yourself on the JOBSEEKERS.IE Apps to help you find more relevant Job Listings (including from the location service on your mobile device when you grant permission to an JOBSEEKERS.IE App), when you submit a photo to Job Spotter that includes the provision of the location data of where the photo was taken, or in certain instances where you initiate a marketing message such as a Job Alert with JOBSEEKERS.IE (detailed in section 4 of this Privacy Policy). You can withdraw your consent, as detailed in section 10 of this Privacy Policy where applicable, or by sending an email to privacy-dept @ JOBSEEKERS.IE.com (remove spaces when sending email).
3. Limitations of Use
3.1 Where a Job Seeker Wants to Close a Job Seeker Account
When a Job Seeker closes an account, the Job Seeker will no longer have access to any of the data we make available under that account name, including but not limited to, search history, job search preferences, saved jobs, jobs the Job Seeker has applied to, Job Alerts, resume, and any other data associated with the account. If the Job Seeker uses the same email address to set up a new account, this data from a previous account will not become available to the Job Seeker again. Please also note that closing your Job Seeker account may result in you losing access to all JOBSEEKERS.IE products and the ability to utilize the “Log in with JOBSEEKERS.IE” feature found on certain third party sites.
JOBSEEKERS.IE reserves the right to keep any materials in a closed account as necessary to preserve and protect its rights to the extent permitted by law (for example, to preserve records of a dispute) or to comply with its 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 the JOBSEEKERS.IE systems, although it will not be readily available under the Job Seeker’s original account name. When the Job Seeker presses the close account button on the dashboard, JOBSEEKERS.IE will begin to process that instruction within 24 hours and will have completed the operation within 40 days.
If a Job Seeker wishes to access or delete their Personal Data held by JOBSEEKERS.IE, they should follow the steps listed in section 10 of this Privacy Policy, and such a request will be processed in accordance with applicable rules.
3.2 Where an Employer Wants to Close an Employer Account
Employers may close an account at any time by contacting JOBSEEKERS.IE Customer Support. Please note that JOBSEEKERS.IE must preserve business records pertaining to that account to comply with its obligations under law. Alternatively, if an Employer agent wishes to access or delete their Personal Data held by JOBSEEKERS.IE, they should follow the steps listed in section 10 of this Privacy Policy, and such a request will be processed in accordance with applicable rules.
3.3 Where a Job Seeker Wants to Delete a Job Application
If a Job Seeker wants to delete a job application performed on JOBSEEKERS.IE’s Site, they are advised to contact the prospective Employer directly to request deletion of their application. For job applications which you, the Job Seeker submit through JOBSEEKERS.IE (including the use of an JOBSEEKERS.IE Apply button) to an Employer, (with related materials submitted), please note: 1) that your applications and materials may be controlled by an Employer; 2) we may direct you to that Employer for Personal Data deletion requests where that Personal Data is held by that Employer; and 3) JOBSEEKERS.IE depends on the Employer or the Employer’s agent to provide JOBSEEKERS.IE with the correct destination for all applications.
3.4 Where the Employer Contact Details Provided to JOBSEEKERS.IE Are Incorrect
In the event that the electronic destination provided to JOBSEEKERS.IE is incorrect, your application materials will not be sent to the intended recipient of the application. JOBSEEKERS.IE has no liability for such applications. If you do not wish to send your application materials in this manner, you should send them directly to the Employer.
3.5 @JOBSEEKERS.IE mail Addresses
When communicating through JOBSEEKERS.IE’s message relay system, you will see an email address with an @JOBSEEKERS.IEemail.com or @JOBSEEKERS.IEmail.com ending. You understand that you retain no ownership rights in these email addresses, which are specific to Employers’ Job Listings, but are owned by JOBSEEKERS.IE. However, JOBSEEKERS.IE’s relay system will show the name associated with your account or job application in the “To:” or “From:” field.
Please also note that since these message proxy and relay services depend on the functionality of third-party providers, there may be technical delays on the part of those email service providers.
3.6 Minimum Age of our Users
The Site is not for use by anyone under the age of 16. However if local laws provide for an alternative minimum age for JOBSEEKERS.IE to lawfully provide the services in the Site to you, then that shall apply as the applicable minimum age. In all jurisdictions outside the European Union, if you are under the age of 18 or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you must use JOBSEEKERS.IE under the supervision of your parent, legal guardian or responsible adult.
JOBSEEKERS.IE adopts a range of measures to try to ensure that we do not accept individuals who do not meet the minimum age and any other applicable age requirements. If you do not satisfy these age requirements, please email privacy-dept @ JOBSEEKERS.IE.com (remove spaces when sending email).
4. Purposes, Uses and Disclosures of Information
We may use any information collected pursuant to this Privacy Policy, including Personal Data, for the purposes set forth in sections 4, 5 and 9 of this Privacy Policy, to the extent applicable. JOBSEEKERS.IE associates Personal Data with your JOBSEEKERS.IE Profile in order to perform the activities described in this Privacy Policy. JOBSEEKERS.IE uses such information to help Job Seekers find jobs and to help Employers find candidates. In order to do this we use your Personal Data to:
1) provide our services, products and features to you, to help Job Seekers find jobs and Employers find candidates;
2) to measure and improve those services, products and features; and
3) to protect our users and provide them with customer support.
More detail on these purposes, uses and disclosures of your information is set out below.
4.1 Creating an Account, Sending You Job Alerts and Other Promotional Materials
If and to the extent permitted by applicable law, JOBSEEKERS.IE may use your contact information to (i) create an account; (ii) send you Job Alerts; and (iii) send you information about JOBSEEKERS.IE, including promotional materials. JOBSEEKERS.IE may use third-party partners to perform these activities on JOBSEEKERS.IE’s behalf.
A Job Alert is defined as an email that you sign up for containing Job Listings in response to a search query you have run. A company alert is one type of Job Alert which contains Job Listings and other information you have requested regarding a company. Job Alerts may also include jobs that JOBSEEKERS.IE recommends for you, JOBSEEKERS.IE Targeted Ads, companies you may be interested in following, or other actions you may want to take on the Site. JOBSEEKERS.IE may adjust the frequency of Job Alerts.
JOBSEEKERS.IE may also share your information with third parties (including operators of third-party websites and/or social networking sites) in order to show you targeted advertisements and other content that has been customized for you. Such advertisements will only relate to JOBSEEKERS.IE’s services, products, and features, all of which focus on helping Job Seekers find jobs and Employers find candidates. If you wish to opt out of receiving any marketing messages from JOBSEEKERS.IE please see section 10.3 of this Privacy Policy.
4.2 Giving You Relevant Search Results and Recommended Jobs
In order to optimize our services, products and features for you, JOBSEEKERS.IE may use your previous search and browsing history (e.g. the jobs you click on), or application materials and answers to screener questions, to identify you and determine relevant search results and provide you with recommended jobs or reach out to you about jobs you may be interested in. We may also use profile data to tailor your experience on the Site, to show you content that JOBSEEKERS.IE thinks you may be interested in, and display content according to your preferences. JOBSEEKERS.IE may return different results for the same search query and has full discretion with respect to the job listings it presents in response to any particular search.
4.3 Your Contact Information
When you give JOBSEEKERS.IE contact information (such as your name and email address) and other forms of Personal and Non-Personal Data, you agree that JOBSEEKERS.IE may utilize this information for the purposes outlined in sections 4, 5 and 9, to the extent applicable. In particular, you agree that JOBSEEKERS.IE may, as part of its services to you, communicate with you, or initiate communication with you on behalf of a third party, through your JOBSEEKERS.IE account or through other means such as email, telephone (including mobile phone), or postal mail, including through the use of contact information that you may provide to JOBSEEKERS.IE or that JOBSEEKERS.IE may otherwise obtain from third-party resources.
4.4 Your Resume Information
Your information, including Personal Data, gets placed on the Site when you upload or edit a resume, which becomes part of your JOBSEEKERS.IE Profile. JOBSEEKERS.IE reserves the right to charge third parties a fee for accessing your information, including Personal Data, as part of JOBSEEKERS.IE’s services. At your direction, JOBSEEKERS.IE may also send your resume to third parties if you choose to apply for a job listing. The extent to which your information is made available to third parties depends on the privacy settings you choose on JOBSEEKERS.IE, in accordance with this Privacy Policy. When a Job Seeker creates a profile on JOBSEEKERS.IE, their resume is set to public by default, and the Job Seeker may change their resume privacy settings at any time. This is detailed below.
– Private Resumes
Private resumes are only made available to those to whom the Job Seeker has initiated an application or provided their resume. Where this occurs, you make your resume, your name and other Personal Data that you place on your resume available to third parties. Those third parties may be interested in you as an employee, and may forward your resume to other third parties.
– Public Resumes
Public resumes are available to anyone with access to JOBSEEKERS.IE’s resume search application and may be accessed by other JOBSEEKERS.IE users, in order to increase the visibility of that resume and help JOBSEEKERS.IE find you a job. A public resume is also available to anyone accessing the associated URL, and to Employers whose Company Page you are following. Where this occurs, you make your resume, your name and other Personal Data that you place on your resume available to third parties. Those third parties may be interested in you as an employee, and may forward your resume to other third parties.
If you post a public resume, this may be crawled by, and displayed through search engines when someone searches for your name. This means that third parties can view the Personal Data contained in your resume and you may receive unsolicited contact from parties unaffiliated with JOBSEEKERS.IE and for whom JOBSEEKERS.IE has no responsibility. If you post a public resume on JOBSEEKERS.IE, please note that although JOBSEEKERS.IE expressly prohibits the scraping of its Site any resume you post publicly is public information and the content may be copied by a third party in violation of these terms.
For public resumes, you also authorize JOBSEEKERS.IE to remove your name from your public resume, in certain instances. JOBSEEKERS.IE may also change the display of your resume from public to private in certain instances to maintain the quality of the resume database.
If you have a public resume, JOBSEEKERS.IE may use information from your resume to auto-fill all or parts of a form or application. For example, if you use JOBSEEKERS.IE Chat, your name from your resume may appear in the messages.
Please note that Resume Search has not launched in all markets. If you are located in a market where Resume Search has not yet launched, setting your resume to public will make it available to anyone who visits the associated URL. Resumes set to public will become searchable upon the launch of Resume Search in your market.
– Changing Your Resume Privacy Settings
When you place your resume on JOBSEEKERS.IE, it will be public by default. You may adjust this at any point by editing your privacy settings on JOBSEEKERS.IE. Where you adjust your resume from public to private, JOBSEEKERS.IE does not warrant how often third-party search engines will update their caches, which may continue to contain your resume information. Additionally, Employers who have saved your resume while it was public may continue to have access to your resume even after you have adjusted it to private.
4.5 Matching Job Seekers With Employers
You acknowledge that JOBSEEKERS.IE may determine whether the words of your resume or any other individuals’ resume match the words of certain job descriptions, and vice versa, in order to improve the Site or any other JOBSEEKERS.IE product or service (including by displaying or otherwise making available potentially relevant job descriptions and resumes to Job Seekers and Employers).
JOBSEEKERS.IE may also provide information collected pursuant to this Privacy Policy, including Personal Data, to Employers that may be interested in contacting you. By applying to a job, answering screener questions, providing your contact information to show interest in a job, or by replying to a message from an Employer, you agree to the disclosure of your information to that Employer. JOBSEEKERS.IE may also provide the results of any JOBSEEKERS.IE Assessments you complete to Employers, where you agree to such provision at the time of taking such an assessment. JOBSEEKERS.IE may also use information provided to JOBSEEKERS.IE via your JOBSEEKERS.IE Resume to pre-populate application information for you and for similar purposes.
If you have an JOBSEEKERS.IE account or an JOBSEEKERS.IE-hosted resume, you agree that JOBSEEKERS.IE may contact you or suggest you or your public resume to Employers that might be interested in a person who matches your behavior on JOBSEEKERS.IE.
In addition, if you are located in the United States and you set your Resume to public, this means that JOBSEEKERS.IE may share all of the aforementioned information about yourself with recruiters working for or on behalf of Employers.

For example, in certain cases such processing allows JOBSEEKERS.IE to match Job Seekers with Employers effectively, to provide Job Seekers with Job Alerts and recommended jobs that the Job Seeker is likely to be more interested in, to send particular Job Seeker applications to an Employer, to display search results, or to perform certain spam and fraud detection activities to protect our users. Such processing is subject to the safeguards detailed in this Privacy Policy to protect the privacy of our users, and you may contact privacy-dept @ JOBSEEKERS.IE.com (remove spaces) to contest any decision generated by said automated processing.
4.13 Sharing your Information with JOBSEEKERS.IE Affiliated Entities and Websites
Our core mission is to help job seekers find great jobs, and employers find great candidates, which is a mission we share with each of our affiliates. In order to support that mission we share certain information with our affiliates. Such information sharing is governed by this Privacy Policy. We also developed the Privacy Center as a way of educating our users about our affiliates and how we share data with them to provide the strongest product and service offerings to our users. We encourage you to visit the Privacy Center to learn more.
Information shared by you with JOBSEEKERS.IE may be shared with any JOBSEEKERS.IE affiliated entity, no matter where located, to provide you with services, to improve the Site and optimize functionality on the Site, and other purposes as described in this Policy. In particular, such sharing strengthens JOBSEEKERS.IE’s ability to help people find jobs and employers find good candidates. The services provided to you and the functionality of the Site could not be provided without such transfers. If you do not wish your information to be transferred in this way you should not use this Site.
For the purposes of this Policy, “affiliates” means any entity that directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control of or with an JOBSEEKERS.IE entity, now or in the future. “Control” for these purposes means having a majority of shares or the right and ability to direct management. And this includes JOBSEEKERS.IE affiliated entities located outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or Switzerland.
Examples of our affiliates and affiliated websites include: Glassdoor, Simply Hired, Syft, Resume.com, Workopolis, Click IQ, Wowjobs.com, Engineerjobs.com, RescueMyResumes.com and Resumeperfector.com.
Such data sharing with JOBSEEKERS.IE affiliates will be performed for a number of specific reasons.
– Improved Services
It provides Job Seekers with more personalized and improved content, performance, features and services on JOBSEEKERS.IE and its affiliates’ sites. For example, JOBSEEKERS.IE and its affiliates use your previous search and browsing history (e.g. the jobs you click on), IP address, or your resume or profile information, to determine relevant search results, Job Alerts, display and moderate career insights, such as company reviews, job listing salary data, interview tips and more. Such sharing is also performed to facilitate improved data analysis, testing, research, and service improvement.
It also allows employers to have better insight into the performance of their job postings. For example, we may share data related to user clicks on their job postings which in turn allows them to understand how their job posting may or may not be achieving their goal of attracting candidates. By providing employers with the information they need to better utilize our platform, they can provide stronger job postings.
– More Employers, More Job Listings and More Job Seekers
Such data sharing allows Job Seekers to access an even broader database of Job Listings and Employers, and for Employers to access more Job Seekers. For example, this allows JOBSEEKERS.IE to recommend jobs or employers on JOBSEEKERS.IE or on websites of JOBSEEKERS.IE affiliates. It also facilitates applications and the display of job listings from the JOBSEEKERS.IE Site to JOBSEEKERS.IE affiliates’ websites and vice versa.
JOBSEEKERS.IE or an JOBSEEKERS.IE affiliate is able to recommend an JOBSEEKERS.IE Job Seeker (and that Job Seeker’s resume or resume extract) to an Employer hosted by JOBSEEKERS.IE or to an Employer hosted by an JOBSEEKERS.IE affiliate. Equally, an JOBSEEKERS.IE affiliate is able to recommend a job listing hosted by an JOBSEEKERS.IE Employer to a job seeker hosted by an JOBSEEKERS.IE affiliate. JOBSEEKERS.IE and its affiliates can also share Employer data (such as account information and behavioral data) to provide a better experience to those Employers.

Job Seekers that apply to jobs through JOBSEEKERS.IE that are outside their own country may involve sending their Personal Data to countries with lower levels of data protection.

In addition, JOBSEEKERS.IE may also provide an employer with code for a Conversion Tracker to place on its Site that pings the job seeker web beacon and tracks whenever a job seeker has applied to a job on that employer’s website. This Conversion Tracker will attribute an application to JOBSEEKERS.IE any time the job seeker started their search on JOBSEEKERS.IE, despite any intervening activity. JOBSEEKERS.IE does not have access to the cookies in the employer’s domain. The Conversion Tracker is simply a counter that notifies JOBSEEKERS.IE that a job seeker has applied. If a job seeker has disabled the web beacon, the Conversion Tracker will have no functionality. If you would like to remove yourself from JOBSEEKERS.IE’s job seeker web beacon, you must click here.
