Information notice: Processing of personal data for recruitment purposes.
We are RINF OUTSOURCING SOLUTIONS S.R.L., a limited liability company with headquarters located in Bucharest, Green Court, 4C Gara Herastrau Street, Building B, 3rd Floor, District 2, Romania („RINF TECH”). When you respond to our talent acquisition proposals, contact us, or apply for an open position in our company, we collect and process several categories of your personal data. This makes us a data controller and you a data subject, according to the data protection legislation.
Please read this document carefully, to find out how we process your data and what are your rights.
When we contact potential candidates on professional platforms (such as LinkedIn), we store the publicly accessible professional resume (profile including name, contact details and professional experience) or the resume which you send to us when you reply to our messages. We use a LinkedIn Recruiter account for such purposes, and we comply with the LinkedIn community rules on contacting passive candidates and respecting users’ choices.
We perform talent searches based on our legitimate interest to find the most suitable candidates and we only store your information in our recruitment database when you show interest in a specific position.
We also receive job applications through our Careers portal, where you can contact us directly and send us your name, contact details, CV and other professional information. We process this data to take steps at your request prior to entering a labour contract, or (in the case of contractor) based on our legitimate interest to identify the most appropriate collaborators.
If you are a good match for our open positions, we can invite you to undergo an interview with our talent acquisition and/or technical teams. In this phase, we collect additional information about your qualifications, and we may ask you to undergo a technical skills test.
We may also ask you to provide documentation in support of your statements regarding educational and professional background (e.g., diplomas, licenses, certificates etc.). If you refuse to provide us such information, we may decide not to continue the recruitment process.
In certain exceptional circumstances, the position you apply for might require background checks which involve the verification of prior criminal convictions. If so, then we will inform you and require you to obtain and show a clean criminal record certificate. We do not collect or store such certificates and we ask you to abstain from showing/sending us any criminal record certificates which do not meet the job description requirements.
Some of our open positions involve working on projects where our clients require a direct verification of the team’s skills. For this purpose, your name and professional experience details will be made available to those specific clients, and, in some cases, you might be invited to an interview with them.
We use the above data in our legitimate interest to confirm the information in the resumes, bios and letters of intent. We also have an interest to maintain the good reputation of the company and, in specific situations, comply with our client’s project demands, and therefore, we deem it important to verify whether the applicant does not have criminal convictions incompatible with the job description.
The IT business sector is very dynamic, and our company always posts new job openings. If the recruitment phase is complete and you do not receive an offer from us, you can stay in contact with us and find out about other opportunities. You can give your consent for this purpose, using the choices which are presented to you when you send your application, and this will enable us to use your personal data to contact you until you withdraw your consent by contacting us using the details provided in section 6.
Please note that we will keep any communications with you concerning the recruitment process for a period of 3 years, for evidentiary purposes. This means that we have a legitimate interest to prove that our recruitment processes are performed equitable and in observance with the legal requirements. This is different from the processing describe under pt. 2.3 above and does not imply using the information to contact you or in any way related to professional opportunities.
We are excited to keep you informed about the latest job openings based on your explicit consent. Our newsletters will bring you a wide range of opportunities, allowing you to explore various positions at your own pace.
Please note that if you do not withdraw your consent, it will be stored in our system for a period of 3 years. Your privacy is important to us. You can choose to unsubscribe from our job alerts at any time by clicking the unsubscribe button provided in the newsletter or by submitting a written request data-protection@rinftech.com.
Your personal data is kept only for as long as needed for the fulfilment of the purposes for which such information is processed.
Storage of data for further contacting is done in accordance with section 2.3 above.
Storage of data for evidentiary purposes is done according to section 2.4 above.
Storage of your consent for further job opening alerts is done according to section 2.5 above.
If you communicate with us via e-mail, all messages are kept for evidentiary purposes according to our e-mail archiving and erasure policy.
The personal data of applicants who receive job offers is subject to a distinct policy which will be provided at the time of employment.
In handling the personal data from your CV, we employ automated techniques via OpenAI’s API platform. This technology allows us to meticulously extract and organize your skills and competencies.
