Back to job vacancies

The company/organisation’s (CIPD) careers site is powered by iKrut (www.ikrut.com) a web based recruitment application supplied by Zodo Ltd.

By submitting your application, you are agreeing for your information to be passed to that company/organisation and any sub processors Zodo uses in the provision of its services to the company.

Your personal information supplied when you apply for a job vacancy (and any additional details the company/organisation adds to your application) is stored on a secure database powered by servers within the UK. Data will not be kept for longer than is necessary in accordance with EU data protection regulations and any future contact we have with you will be for recruitment purposes only. Your details will be automatically deleted a maximum of 12 months from the date of submission unless you give the company/organisation specific permission to keep them for a further period. The company you have applied to may opt to delete your data sooner than 12 months.

What personal data do we collect?

  • We collect and store the data you submit during the application process and/or the details you choose to submit into the talent pool of that employer. Typically this will be your contact information, experience and education, attachments, responses to screening questions but may include details on EEO monitoring questions as well.
  • Your IP Address to identify where you are based
  • Your login details (email address and password) should you create a candidate portal.
  • Cookies, which allow us to understand the pages on our website that you visit.

Why do we collect your data?

We collect your data so that the company you have applied to can consider your application for a specific job or for any possible opportunities in the future if you have submitted your details directly into their talent pool via the iKrut recruitment system, or they wish to contact you about future job opportunities they consider you would be suitable for.

Your Personal Data could be transferred to a third-party supplier if the company you apply to uses such external services (background checks, testing providers). Zodo will ensure compliance with relevant local laws in its duty as a data processor. Your details are stored on Zodo’s UK based servers.

You have the right to access and the right to rectify your personal data, whether submitted as an application or otherwise, by sending the employer a written request. Zodo will not process any requests in connection with the adjustment or removal of personal data by a candidate. This can only be done by the company and you will need to contact the company directly to do that.

Your data may also be disclosed to a third party vendor contracted by Zodo with responsibility for maintenance and development work within iKrut’s servers or for the provision of additional services within the iKrut hiring platform. Zodo will not disclose your data to any other third party unless required to do so by law or regulators.

Zodo may also contact you in order to gather information on the application process and issues you may have had at the time of submission. Zodo does not sell, rent or lease your personal data to any third parties.

Decisions made on your suitability for any role you have applied to or any role the employer considers you for in the future are solely at the discretion of the employer.
