The technical platform of the recruitment register is an electronic recruitment system, the supplier of which (Teamtailor AB) is responsible for the technical implementation of the system and, therefore, acts as a processor of personal data.

  • The information provided by the applicant on the application form or in its attachments is processed in the United States by a sub-processor of the supplier of the recruitment system (Section.io). The protective measures required by the EU General Data Protection Regulation have been implemented by the supplier of the recruitment system in the following manner: the supplier of the recruitment system (Teamtailor AB) and the sub-processor (Section.io) have concluded an agreement on the transfer of data in accordance with the standard contractual clauses (SCC) approved by the EU Commission.
  • Information about the applicant may be processed in the United States by a sub-processor of the supplier of the recruitment system (Intercom) in those situations where Oral is in contact with the customer support of the recruitment system. The protective measures required by the EU General Data Protection Regulation have been implemented by the supplier of the recruitment system in the following manner: the supplier of the recruitment system (Teamtailor AB) and the sub-processor (Intercom) have concluded an agreement on the transfer of data in accordance with the standard contractual clauses (SCC) approved by the EU Commission.
  • Information about the applicant’s use of the website is processed in the United States by a sub-processor of the supplier of the recruitment system (Google).

In addition, data transfer may take place outside of the European Union or the European Economic Area, for example, in the event that an applicant or a person participating in the recruitment process is located outside of the European Union or the European Economic Area when using the electronic recruitment system. In this case, the data security of the processed data is ensured by using encrypted communication connections.

The principles of register protection:

The service provider of the electronic recruitment system (Teamtailor AB) is responsible for the technical protection of the data stored in the register, which includes, for example, the system’s internal data security, access control, software security updates and backups. In addition to internal tests, the data security of the recruitment system is also tested with data security checks carried out by a third party. Communication between the recruitment system and a user’s browser is always protected by strong encryption.
