At iRecruit.co (“Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), your privacy is a priority. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your data when you interact with our website and recruitment platform (the “Services”).
1. Information We Collect
We collect information to provide a seamless recruitment experience. This falls into three categories:
- Information You Provide:
- Candidates: Name, email, phone number, physical address, resume/CV, LinkedIn profile URL, employment history, education, and any self-identified skills or preferences.
- Employers/Recruiters: Corporate contact details, job descriptions, hiring criteria, and payment information (processed via secure third-party gateways).
- Information Collected Automatically:
- Usage Data: IP addresses, browser types, device identifiers, and pages visited.
- Cookies: We use cookies to remember your login sessions and preferences. You can manage cookie settings through your browser.
- Third-Party Information: We may receive information from background check providers or integrated platforms (like LinkedIn) if you choose to sync your profile.
2. How We Use Your Information
We process your data for the following "Business Purposes":
- Matching & Placement: Using our platform to connect candidates with relevant job opportunities.
- Communication: Sending job alerts, platform updates, and responding to support inquiries.
- Platform Analytics: Monitoring site performance to improve the user interface and matching algorithms.
- Security: Detecting and preventing fraudulent applications or unauthorized access.
Note on Automated Processing: We may use algorithms to rank candidates based on skills and experience. However, final hiring decisions are always made by the human recruiters or employers using our platform.
3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only in these specific circumstances:
- With Hiring Entities: When a candidate applies for a role or is identified as a match, their profile is shared with the relevant employer.

- Corporate Events: In the case of a merger or sale, your data may be transferred to the new entity under the same privacy protections.
4. Data Retention & Security
- Security: We utilize industry-standard AES-256 encryption and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. While we take every precaution, no system is 100% secure.
- Retention: We keep your data only as long as your account is active or as needed to provide Services. You may request deletion of your account at any time.
