Application and data processing

The partner company manages applications and subsequent hiring steps directly. Shortlisted candidates are selected through an AI-supported matching process that is used to screen applications quickly and objectively against the role’s core requirements. The shortlist is then passed to the hiring company, which owns the final decision and next steps such as interviews and assessments.

By submitting an application, candidates acknowledge that their personal data will be processed for evaluation and shared with the employer as part of the hiring process, on the basis of legitimate interest and pre-contractual measures under applicable data protection laws, including GDPR. Applicants may exercise rights such as access, correction, deletion, and objection at any time.

Artificial intelligence tools may also be used to assist with parts of recruitment, including application review, resume analysis, response assessment, and identification of inconsistencies or verification signals in submitted materials. These tools support the recruitment team but do not replace human judgment, and final hiring decisions are made by people.
