Privacy notice for applicants
Who is responsible
Northline Staffing (Demo) is responsible for the personal information in your application. TalentInitiator runs the recruiting system on behalf of Northline Staffing (Demo) and uses your information only for that purpose.
What we collect and why
We collect the information you give us: your résumé, your answers to questions, your messages and, if you choose a recorded interview, your recordings and their transcripts. We also record how your application moves through our hiring process. We use this information to assess your application for this job, to communicate with you, to schedule interviews, to tell you the outcome and to meet our legal obligations. We do not use it for any other purpose without asking you first.
How AI is used
AI tools help us read résumés, compare applications with the job requirements, run the pre-screening chat and assess written answers and interview transcripts. Résumés are read as you submitted them, contact details included; names and contact details are removed before your profile, answers and transcripts are assessed. A person on the hiring team reviews the results and makes every decision. No facial, voice-tone or emotion analysis is ever done.
Where your information is processed
Your records are stored in Canada. Some processing takes place in the United States, as described in the notice we show you before any of it happens. The list of our service providers and where they operate is at https://talentinitiator-ca.com/en/legal/sub-processors.
How long we keep it
We keep your information only as long as we need it. Employment law requires us to keep job postings, application forms and interview-outcome notices for three years after the posting is taken down. If you ask us to delete your information, we keep those records for that time, reduced to what the law requires, and delete or anonymize everything else. Interview recordings are deleted after the period shown on the interview consent screen, unless a legal hold applies.
Your rights
You can ask to see the personal information we hold about you, correct it, get a copy, withdraw your consent or have it deleted. You can do this in your candidate portal (the private link we give you after you apply) or by writing to [email protected]. We answer within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or, in Quebec, to the Commission d’accès à l’information.
