We do this in order to allow a Job Seeker to keep a record of particular Job Listings of interest, to detect a job application on a third-party site to give a Job Seeker the option to auto-fill parts of the form using Pick and Link, or to confirm an application.

If the Job Seeker uses the same email address to set up a new account, this data from a previous account will not become available to the Job Seeker again. Please also note that closing your Job Seeker account may result in you losing access to some of our products and the ability to utilize the “log in with Pick and Link” feature found on certain third-party site. Pick and Link reserves the right to keep any materials in a closed account as necessary to preserve and protect its rights to the extent permitted by law or to comply with its obligations under local law. A closed account does not mean that all of the data is removed from the Pick and Link system, although it will not be readily available under the Job Seeker’s original account. Pick and Link will begin to process that instruction within 24 hours of the Job Seeker initiating the process. Pick and Link will complete the operation within 72 hours.
Employers may disable an account at any time by contacting the site administrator. Please note that Pick and Link must preserve business records pertaining to that account to comply with its obligations under law. Alternatively, if an Employer agent wishes to access or delete their Personal Data held by Pick and Link, they should contact the administrator.

In the event that the electronic destination provided to Pick and Link is incorrect, your application materials will not be sent to the intended recipient of the application.

As another example, Employers may instruct Pick and Link to help manage their candidate pool according to their requirements and preferences for the Job Listing, which may include sending updates to Job Seekers based on Employer activity, so that Job Seekers better understand the status of their candidacy, or giving Employers the ability to sort and arrange their candidates for future reference.

Examples of such improvements would be improving the open rate of messages by optimizing their delivery, optimizing our search results, improving Job Listings, permitting applicants to manage their applications after transmitting them to Pick and Link, providing Job Seekers with the status of their application when instructed to by Employers, ensuring you are provided with personally relevant product features and communications, and preventing fraud and spam.
