In search of new talents and expertise, our recruitment officers proactively look for brilliant people to join our growing business. In the course of our search for new talents, we may collect your personal information available in your public professional social media profiles such as Linkedin and other similar websites only when you agree to be contacted, and or professional directories and job boards such as Apec, Monster, etc. We only collect the data relevant to the recruitment process such as your contact details, academic degrees, certifications, and work experience. We use this data for the sole purposes of contacting you as a potential candidate for a position at EURANOVA at a reasonable time or for providing statistical analysis which helps us improve our recruitment practices.

In the course of our interview process, we may also provide you with a link to our logbook platform and which allows you to add additional information about your skills and background. When you provide us with your information on such a platform, we will ask for your consent to use your personal data for the recruitment purposes and share your data with potential customers to assess your fitness for the customer’s project. We may contact you if your profile fits our desired set of skills for a new position.

Moreover, In the event that we make an offer to you, and as far as local legislation permits, we may conduct pre-engagement screening checks that may include but are not limited to your professional and academic qualifications, your eligibility to work in the relevant jurisdiction, any criminal records, your financial stability and references from previous employers. The successful results of such screening may be shared with the clients for which you will be performing consulting services.
