Privacy policy

v1.1

www.reedglobal.com.tr (“the Website”) is a job site operated by Reed Özel İstihdam Hizmetleri Anonim Şirketi and  Reed Özel Istihdam Bürosu Ltd. (“REED”) as part of the REED Group of companies. REED acts as both an authorised recruitment agency and a recruitment business, introducing job seekers to hirers for permanent and temporary vacancies respectively.

This document explains how we use the personal data we collect about you when you register with REED as a job seeker via the Website.

Registration with and use of the Website for job seekers is free so there is no formal contract between REED and yourself unless you go on to be engaged as a temporary employee. In that case you will be employed by REED.

Following your registration and in order to put you forward for vacancies you are interested in (therefore in order to provide you with our recruitment services), it will be necessary and in our legitimate interests to process your personal data for you to be able to conclude an employment contract at the end of the process of recruitment with an employer, or for you to be engaged by REED as a temporary employee to be supplied to clients to supply services on temporary assignments, in the manner set out below.

In certain situations we may also ask you to supply limited sensitive or special category personal data relating to criminal records or your health (“sensitive personal data”). We will only ask for sensitive personal data when it is needed to comply with a statutory obligation or to ensure that any employment rights are respected.

What information do we collect about you?

We collect personal data about you when you register with REED. That personal data is needed to provide you with the recruitment services we deliver.   

That personal data includes your name, contact details, work history, employment preferences, references and the usual information contained on a CV. We will also ask for and keep copies of your CV and, where appropriate, we may ask and keep proof of your eligibility to work in accordance with our legal obligations. If you are employed by REED we will also ask you to provide us with the information needed to ensure that you are paid appropriately.

We may also ask you if you need any reasonable adjustments to be made in connection with the recruitment process or for an application for a particular role.

Where we are legally required to do so, we may seek an up to date criminal records check.

If any roles you wish to apply for require us to conduct additional checks, for example credit checks we may also use your personal data to perform those checks.

We will also keep details of any roles that you obtain through Reed and copies of any correspondence sent to you and to any hirer in connection with such roles.   

What do we do with your personal data?

We will use your personal data to provide you with our recruitment services, to manage your account and to email or text you about our recruitment services and roles which we consider relevant to your search for work.

This includes providing that personal data (including references), and where appropriate sensitive personal data, to prospective employers, who will use it for processing your application, for personnel administration, additional screening checks and for inspecting our files where they are entitled to do so.

We will also use the personal data you give us, where appropriate, to provide you with access to our sick pay scheme, in order to help to ensure your health and safety at work and to comply with any relevant employment legislation.

We may also share your personal data with other REED Group companies, including Reed Specialist Recruitment, in order to provide you with our full range of recruitment services. . Your personal data and sensitive personal data will only be shared with those companies to the extent that it is necessary. For example, the personal data of job seekers who are not interested in temporary vacancies will not be shared with the insurance companies.

We may also share your personal data with external companies retained by us to assist in providing you with our services. This includes companies which provide us with the communications services we use to send you emails and SMS messages. Where we do so, we will only share your personal data to the extent necessary and in accordance with contracts which require those organisations not to retain your personal data for any longer than needed or use it for any other purposes (including marketing).

We will keep your personal data only for as long as is necessary. Our goal is to provide you with useful recruitment services for the whole of your career. However, you retain control over your personal data and may instruct us to stop looking for work for you at any time. When instructed by you, we will remove your records from our database unless we are required to keep it for legal reasons.  

You agree that, depending on the country or countries where REED or its data processor(s)  are using the data processing technologies, Reed may transfer data to these countries or countries, depending on the country or countries where the data processor processes the information, and that the laws of this country may apply . In this case, REED shall ensure that processing, including transfer of the personal data, is limited to the purposes either permitted by you / subject or limited to legitimate interest in processing any such data. 

Marketing

We will only send you information which relates to our recruitment services.

Data Sharing and Transfers

We do not share your personal data with third parties, except where it is necessary to do so in order to provide you with our recruitment services as described above.

Your personal data is stored on servers in the European Economic Area and it is only transferred outside that area (other than for the recruitment services we provide to you in Turkey) if you ask us to assist you in obtaining work outside the EEA, in which case it will be made available to the appropriate REED office overseas and to prospective employers in the relevant territories.
