  • Your personal information, such as your name, contact details, qualifications, and so on
  • Your image and voice, if submitted (for instance, there may be a recorded video interview)
  • Any information collected from public sources that’s relevant to your application (for instance, we might check your LinkedIn profile)
  • The assessments collected during your selection process

How we use your data

To help us decide whether to offer you a job or invite you to an event, we use your data for some or all of the following:

  • Reviewing your profile, qualifications, and skills
