As part of the Site offering, you may interact with tools that provide matching, check and recommendation mechanisms regarding the information you have provided in the system when creating your CV. These tools are computer-based algorithms that have been created to help you in your career-finding journey; they do not ensure that you will get a job offer. When you make use of these tools, you also agree and understand that the Provider cannot ensure that you will be contacted by an employer or receive a job offer, even when your CV has received a high “strength” number. Your use of these tools is completely at your own risk and provides no warranties whatsoever.

Tracking technologies, such as cookies, are mainly alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes. When you visit the Site, we and our business partners can use tracking technologies to enhance your online experience or customise our offerings. For example, some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our Site, while others are used to enable a faster login process. A few additional important things you should know about our use of tracking technologies (cookies):
- We can offer certain features that are available only through the use of tracking technologies.
- There are two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. We use both session and persistent tracking technologies. Tracking technologies can either be persistent (i.e. they remain on your computer until you delete them) or temporary (i.e. they last only until you close your browser). You may be able to decline tracking technologies if your browser permits, although doing so can interfere with your use of the Site. Refer to the help section of your browser, browser extensions, or installed applications for instructions on blocking, deleting, or disabling tracking technologies such as cookies.
- We encode and protect the tracking technologies that the Provider sets, so that only we can interpret the information stored in them. You can encounter tracking technologies from our third-party service providers that we have allowed on our Site. These assist us with various aspects of our Site operations and services, such as Google Analytics.
- You can also encounter tracking technologies from third parties on certain pages of the websites that we do not control and have not authorised (for example, if you view a web page created by another user, there can be a cookie placed by that web page).
- Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use clear GIFs (a.k.a. web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags), in connection with our Site to, among other things, track the activities of Site visitors, help us manage content, and compile statistics about Site usage. We and our third-party service providers may also use clear GIFs in HTML emails to our customers, to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.
