Our goal is to provide a beneficial and positive experience for all parties using our services. By utilizing our services, you have agreed to allow us to use your information, subject to local law, in the following manner: To create a jobseeker profile for you based on information you have provided to us; To provide information about you to employers and recruiters at your request; To create an employer profile based on the information you have provided us; To provide information about you and your recruitment advertisements to jobseekers at your request; If an employer uses JobTarget’s technology to post an advertisement to a third party job board, that employer's contact information may be shared with the operator of that third party; To contact you regarding changes to your profile, service updates, products and services you may be interested in, surveys, sweepstakes, and various other communications regarding our products and services.

JobTarget’s career center sites are not all the same. Some sites may have an anonymous resume bank (employers can see your non-personal information, but not your personal information until you respond to them), whereas other sites may have a public resume bank (employers can see your personal and non-personal information). Job seekers should familiarize themselves with that particular site’s services and functionality before activating their resume, so they are aware of what information will be made public.

If you use our service to build or post a resume in our database, you will be providing us with personal data that will be used in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Your resume should not contain sensitive personal information relating to your:
