Recruitment privacy

How HIOWC uses information provided for recruitment.

Information used for recruitment

HIOWC uses the information needed to administer a vacancy, application, selection activity, reasonable adjustment, pre-employment check, appointment decision and recruitment record. The information required depends on the role and stage.

Why the information is used

Recruitment information is used to identify the application, assess the published requirements, run selection, communicate with the candidate, make authorised decisions and keep an auditable record of the recruitment process.

Who can access it

Access is restricted to authorised people and systems that need the information for recruitment, assessment, appointment, assurance or another authorised purpose. Candidate-visible information is separated from internal recruitment notes.

Reasonable adjustments and sensitive information

Tell Recruitment the adjustment or practical support you need. Do not provide unrelated medical or personal information through a general application field. Where specialist information is required, Recruitment should direct you to the appropriate controlled route.

Keeping recruitment records

Applications, decisions, assessments and related records are kept in the authoritative recruitment systems and handled under the retention and records arrangements that apply to HIOWC. Public website content is not the authoritative candidate record.

Your application account

Use Your applications to see recruitment information released to you through your account. If information appears to be linked incorrectly, contact Recruitment rather than creating another account or application.

Information-rights enquiries

General information-rights routes belong to the main HIOWC website. Recruitment can help identify the application or recruitment record involved.
