6. Recruitment and Candidate Matching

One of the primary purposes for which CMS processes candidate information is to identify suitable employment opportunities and provide recruitment support to employers.

Where you submit a resume, profile or other professional information to CMS, your information may be reviewed by our authorised recruitment consultants and may be considered for relevant current or future employment requirements.

Where appropriate and subject to applicable law, relevant candidate information may be shared with prospective employers or hiring organisations for recruitment evaluation.

The information shared may depend on the requirements of the particular vacancy and may include professional qualifications, experience, skills, resume information, location, availability and other recruitment-related information.

7. Active and Passive Candidate Sourcing

CMS may identify candidates through both active and passive recruitment methods.

Active candidates may include individuals who directly submit their information, apply for vacancies or communicate with CMS regarding employment opportunities.

Passive candidates may include professionals identified through legitimate recruitment research, professional networks, referrals, publicly available professional information or other lawful recruitment channels.

Where we contact a potential candidate regarding an opportunity, the individual may choose whether to participate in the recruitment process.

8. Employer and Client Information

Information supplied by employers and clients may be used to understand recruitment requirements, identify suitable candidates, communicate with hiring representatives, manage recruitment assignments and provide related talent acquisition services.

We may retain employer and recruitment requirement information for legitimate business and recruitment purposes for as long as reasonably necessary, subject to applicable law and our retention practices.

9. Candidate Information Shared With Employers

Recruitment Services may require CMS to provide relevant candidate information to an employer or prospective employer.

Where information is shared for recruitment purposes, CMS aims to limit the information shared to information reasonably relevant to the applicable recruitment opportunity and process.

Once candidate information has been provided to an employer, the employer may process that information in accordance with its own privacy practices, internal policies and applicable law.

Candidates should understand that CMS may not control how an independent employer processes information after it has been lawfully provided to that employer.

10. Information We Do Not Intentionally Request

CMS does not generally require users to submit highly sensitive personal information unless such information is reasonably necessary for a specific legitimate recruitment, employment, verification or legal purpose.

You should avoid submitting passwords, authentication codes, banking credentials, payment card details or other highly sensitive information through general enquiry forms or recruitment communications unless specifically required through an authorised and appropriate process.

If you believe you have accidentally provided sensitive information to CMS through an inappropriate channel, please contact us at support@culminationmanpower.com.

11. Recruitment Verification and Supporting Documents

Depending on the position and employer requirements, candidates may be requested to provide supporting documents or information for recruitment or verification purposes.

Such information may include qualification documents, professional certifications, employment-related documents or other information reasonably necessary for the recruitment process.

CMS may review such information for recruitment purposes and may share relevant information with an authorised employer where reasonably required and permitted by applicable law.

We do not guarantee that documents or information supplied by a candidate are authentic. Candidates remain responsible for ensuring that information and documents supplied by them are genuine, accurate and lawfully provided.

12. Legal Basis and Consent

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, CMS may process personal information based on consent, the provision or performance of requested services, legitimate and lawful business purposes, compliance with legal obligations, protection of rights and other legally recognised grounds.

Where applicable law requires consent, CMS will seek consent in an appropriate manner and for specified purposes.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent by contacting us at support@culminationmanpower.com, subject to applicable law and legitimate reasons for continued processing.

Withdrawal of consent may affect our ability to provide certain recruitment or website services where the information is necessary for those services.

13. Accuracy of Personal Information

We rely on users to provide accurate and current information.

You should notify CMS if information you have provided changes or if you believe information held by us is inaccurate or incomplete.

Where appropriate and subject to applicable law, you may request correction or updating of your personal information by contacting us at support@culminationmanpower.com.

14. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including recruitment, business operations, legal compliance, dispute resolution, security, record keeping and legitimate business requirements.

Candidate information may be retained for consideration against current or future employment opportunities where reasonably necessary and permitted by applicable law.

Retention periods may vary depending on:

• The nature of the information.
• The purpose for which it was collected.
• The recruitment or business relationship.
• Whether an application or recruitment assignment remains active.
• Legal, regulatory or contractual requirements.
• Security and fraud-prevention requirements.
• Potential disputes or claims.

When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymise, archive or otherwise securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal or operational requirements.

15. Data Security

CMS takes reasonable steps to protect personal information against unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, disclosure, loss or destruction.

Security measures may include appropriate technical, organisational and administrative safeguards based on the nature of the information and the risks associated with its processing.

However, no website, electronic transmission, storage system or internet communication can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users should also take reasonable precautions to protect their own devices, email accounts, passwords, documents and communications.

16. Sharing of Personal Information

CMS may share or disclose personal information where reasonably necessary for legitimate recruitment, business, operational, security or legal purposes.

Depending on the circumstances, information may be shared with:

• Prospective employers.
• Existing employer clients.

• Website maintenance and development service providers.
• Communication and email service providers.
• Analytics and website performance service providers.
• Security and fraud-prevention service providers.
• Professional advisers where reasonably required.
• Government, regulatory or law-enforcement authorities where legally required.

We do not intend to sell candidate resumes or personal information as a standalone commercial product to unrelated parties.

17. Third-Party Service Providers

CMS may use third-party service providers to support website hosting, infrastructure, security, communication, analytics, recruitment operations, email delivery, technical maintenance and other legitimate business functions.

Such providers may process information on behalf of CMS to the extent required to provide their services.

We seek to work with service providers that maintain appropriate security and confidentiality practices, subject to the nature of the service and applicable legal requirements.

18. Publicly Available Professional Information

Recruitment activities may involve reviewing publicly available professional information from legitimate sources such as professional websites, publicly accessible profiles, career platforms, business directories or social networking platforms.

Where such information is used, it may be considered for legitimate recruitment and talent acquisition purposes.

CMS does not claim ownership of information that individuals have independently published in public or professional spaces.
