Move employees and job applicants

Some records relating directly to a current or former employment relationship may be covered by the employee records exemption in the Privacy Act.

Website visitors

When you visit our website or use our electronic services, we may collect technical information such as:

  • your IP address
  • device and browser information
  • pages you visit
  • the date and time of your visit
  • the website that referred you to us
  • information collected through cookies, analytics or similar technologies.

How do we collect personal information?

Where it is reasonable and practical, we collect personal information directly from you.

This may happen when you:

  • register with Move
  • apply for a role or respond to an advertisement
  • provide your résumé or other documents
  • attend an interview, meeting or assessment
  • communicate with us by telephone, email, video meeting, social media or another channel
  • complete an application, survey, onboarding document or timesheet
  • enter into an employment, placement, client or supplier arrangement with us
  • visit our website or use our digital services.

We may also collect information from:

  • referees and previous employers
  • clients and prospective clients
  • job boards and professional networking platforms
  • recruitment databases and candidate-sourcing platforms
  • publicly available professional sources
  • education providers, licensing bodies and professional associations
  • assessment and psychometric providers
  • background-check and work-right verification providers
  • government agencies and regulators
  • our technology and business service providers
  • another person you have authorised to provide information.

If we collect information about you from another source, we will take reasonable steps to make sure you are aware of the collection and the relevant circumstances, unless an exception applies.

If you provide us with information about another person, such as a referee or emergency contact, you should make sure you have their permission to share their details and that they understand why Move may contact them.

Anonymity and pseudonymity

You may deal with us anonymously or use a pseudonym when making a general enquiry, where it is lawful and practical to do so.

We will generally need to know your identity when:

  • assessing or representing you for an employment opportunity
  • introducing you to a client
  • verifying your identity, qualifications or work rights
  • conducting reference or pre-employment checks
  • employing, placing or paying you
  • responding to a request to access personal information
  • meeting our legal or regulatory obligations.

Unsolicited personal information

We may sometimes receive personal information that we did not ask for.

If this happens, we will consider whether we could lawfully have collected the information ourselves.

If we could not lawfully have collected it and we are not required to retain it, we will take reasonable steps to securely destroy or de-identify it.

Why do we collect and use personal information?

We collect, hold, use and disclose personal information so we can provide our services, support the people we work with and meet our business and legal responsibilities.

This may include:

  • understanding your experience, qualifications and career goals
  • assessing your suitability for current and future employment opportunities
  • matching you with appropriate roles and organisations
  • representing you accurately and professionally
  • providing permanent recruitment, executive search, labour hire, assessment, career transition and consulting services
  • verifying identity, qualifications, employment history, licences and work rights
  • undertaking reference checks, assessments and pre-employment checks with appropriate authority
  • arranging and managing interviews, placements, assignments and employment
  • administering payroll, taxation, superannuation, leave and workers’ compensation
  • supporting health, safety, rehabilitation and workplace adjustments
  • managing employee and contractor performance, conduct and wellbeing
  • communicating with candidates, employees, clients, suppliers and business contacts
  • managing our client and supplier relationships
  • improving our services, systems and business operations
  • maintaining the security and integrity of our systems
  • investigating suspected misconduct, fraud, safety concerns or unlawful activity
  • responding to enquiries, requests and complaints
  • meeting our contractual, insurance, regulatory and legal responsibilities
  • establishing, exercising or defending legal claims
  • sharing job opportunities, market information or other relevant communications where permitted by law.

If you choose not to provide information we reasonably need, we may be unable to assess your suitability for work, represent you for an opportunity, employ or place you, process payments or provide the requested service.

Candidate representation and disclosure to clients

We will not disclose a work seeker’s identity, résumé or other identifying details to a prospective employer without the work seeker’s written permission, except where disclosure is required by law.

Permission to represent you for one opportunity or client does not automatically give us permission to submit your information for unrelated opportunities.

We may discuss your experience or the availability of talent with clients in a genuinely de-identified form, provided you cannot reasonably be identified.

Our consultants remain responsible for ensuring that your information is used appropriately and that you are represented honestly, accurately and professionally.

Who may receive your personal information?

Where it is reasonably necessary for the purposes explained in this policy, we may disclose personal information to:

  • prospective and current employers or host organisations
  • companies related to or involved in a client’s recruitment process
  • referees, previous employers and nominated contacts
  • background-check, assessment, psychometric and verification providers
  • payroll, superannuation, banking, insurance and workers’ compensation providers
  • technology, cloud hosting, telecommunications, document-signing, recruitment platform and cybersecurity providers
  • professional advisers, auditors, insurers and legal representatives
  • government departments, courts, tribunals, regulators and law enforcement bodies
  • health, rehabilitation and workplace safety providers
  • parties involved in a proposed or actual sale, merger, restructure or transfer of our business
  • other parties where you have consented or where disclosure is required or authorised by law.

We require our team members and service providers to treat personal information confidentially and use it only for authorised purposes.

We do not sell personal information.

Referee information

When you nominate a referee, we may contact them and collect information about your experience, performance and suitability for employment.

Reference information is generally collected on a confidential basis. Your ability to access reference information may be limited where providing it would:

  • disclose another person’s personal information
  • breach an obligation of confidentiality
  • affect the privacy or safety of another individual
  • fall within another exception under the Privacy Act.

Temporary and on-hire employees

If we employ or engage you for temporary, contract or on-hire work, we may provide relevant information to the client or host organisation where it is needed to:

  • arrange and manage your assignment
  • provide workplace or systems access
  • protect your health and safety
  • manage performance or conduct
  • respond to a workplace incident
  • meet employment, insurance and legal obligations.

We will only provide information that is reasonably required for the relevant purpose.

Technology, artificial intelligence and automated tools

We may use recruitment technology, search tools, transcription services, data analytics or artificial intelligence-assisted tools to support:

  • candidate sourcing and matching
  • résumé analysis and database searching
  • interview transcription and summarisation
  • skills and suitability assessments
  • administrative processing
  • identifying potentially relevant employment opportunities.

These tools support our consultants and do not replace professional judgement.

Move does not currently rely solely on automated systems to make decisions that significantly affect a person’s employment opportunities or other rights or interests.

We take reasonable steps to:

  • review relevant technology-generated outputs
  • protect personal information
  • identify potential inaccuracies
  • reduce the risk of unfair or biased outcomes
  • make sure decisions remain subject to appropriate human review.

Where applicable privacy legislation requires us to explain the use of an automated process, we will provide information about the kinds of personal information involved and the role the technology plays.

We do not intentionally enter sensitive personal information into publicly available artificial intelligence services unless the proposed use has been appropriately assessed, protected and authorised.

Direct marketing and job communications

We may contact you about:

  • job opportunities
  • Move’s services
  • events and professional development
  • industry and market information
  • other information we reasonably believe may be relevant to you.

We will only do this where permitted by law.

You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by:

  • using the unsubscribe option in the communication
  • replying and asking us to stop
  • contacting our Privacy Officer.

We will action your request within a reasonable period and without charge.

You may still receive employment, payroll, placement or service-related communications where they are necessary to manage our working relationship with you.

Website, cookies and external links

Our website may use cookies, analytics and similar technologies to:

  • understand how people use our website
  • measure website traffic and performance
  • improve the user experience
  • support website features and functionality.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect how parts of the website operate.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

Résumés and applications submitted through our website may be transmitted to and stored within our secure recruitment systems. They are not made publicly available through our website.

Overseas access and disclosure

Some of our team members, technology providers or other service providers may be located outside Australia or may store, process or access personal information from overseas.

The countries in which recipients are likely to be located may include:

  • the Philippines
  • New Zealand
  • the United States
  • the United Kingdom
  • countries within the European Union
  • other countries used by our contracted technology and cloud service providers.

Before disclosing personal information to an overseas recipient, we will take the reasonable steps required by the Privacy Act to ensure the recipient handles the information consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles, unless an exception applies.

In some circumstances, we may seek your express consent to an overseas disclosure after explaining the relevant circumstances and implications.

Government-related identifiers and tax file numbers

We may collect government-related identifiers such as:

  • tax file numbers
  • visa and work-right details
  • driver licence details
  • other identity or government-issued information.

We will only collect these identifiers where reasonably necessary for verification, employment or legal compliance.

Tax file numbers will be collected, used, disclosed, stored and securely destroyed in accordance with the Privacy (Tax File Number) Rule 2015 and applicable taxation and superannuation laws.

We will only use or disclose government-related identifiers where permitted or required by law. We will not adopt a government-related identifier as our own identifier for you unless permitted by law.

How do we protect personal information?

We take reasonable technical, physical and organisational steps to protect personal information from:

  • misuse
  • interference
  • loss
  • unauthorised access
  • unauthorised modification
  • unauthorised disclosure.

Our security measures may include:

  • access controls and user permissions
  • multi-factor authentication
  • secure cloud-based systems
  • device and network security
  • secure document and communication platforms
  • confidentiality obligations and privacy training
  • service-provider and vendor reviews
  • data backup, incident response and recovery processes
  • secure destruction or de-identification when information is no longer required.

No electronic system or method of transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. When sending sensitive or identity information electronically, you should also take reasonable care to protect it.

Data breaches

We maintain processes for identifying, assessing and responding to suspected or actual privacy and security incidents.

Where we suspect an eligible data breach may have occurred, we will carry out a reasonable and expeditious assessment in accordance with the Privacy Act.

If we have reasonable grounds to believe that an eligible data breach has occurred and is likely to result in serious harm, we will notify the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner and affected individuals as soon as practicable, as required under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.

Any notification will include information about the breach and recommendations about the steps affected individuals should take in response.

How long do we keep personal information?

We retain personal information for as long as it is reasonably required for our recruitment, employment and business activities or to meet legal, contractual, regulatory and insurance requirements.

Queensland private employment agent legislation requires worker, employer and placement registers, as well as relevant recruitment correspondence, to be retained for at least six years.

Where we employ a person, including as a temporary or on-hire employee, applicable workplace legislation generally requires employee, time and wage records to be retained for seven years.

Taxation, superannuation, workers’ compensation, insurance and corporate records may be subject to different statutory retention periods.

When personal information is no longer required and we are not legally required to retain it, we will take reasonable steps to securely destroy or de-identify it.

Accessing or correcting your information

You may ask us to:

  • confirm whether we hold personal information about you
  • provide access to the personal information we hold
  • correct information that is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading.

Please contact our Privacy Officer using the details below.

We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. We will only ask for the minimum information reasonably necessary to do this.

We will respond within a reasonable period, generally within 30 days.

There is no charge for making a request. In limited circumstances, we may charge a reasonable cost for providing access. If this applies, we will explain the proposed charge before proceeding.

There may be circumstances in which we are permitted or required to refuse access or correction. If this happens, we will generally:

  • explain the reason in writing
  • consider whether access can be provided in another form
  • explain how you can make a complaint.

We may not be able to provide these reasons if doing so would be unlawful or unreasonable.

If we correct personal information that has previously been disclosed to another organisation, you may ask us to notify that organisation. We will take reasonable steps to do so unless it would be unlawful or impracticable.

Requests to delete information

You may ask us to delete personal information we hold about you.

We will consider your request and securely delete or de-identify information where it is no longer required.

We may be unable to delete information that must be retained for:

  • legal or regulatory compliance
  • employment and payroll obligations
  • taxation or superannuation requirements
  • insurance purposes
  • dispute resolution
  • the establishment, exercise or defence of a legal claim
  • required business and recruitment records.

If we cannot fully comply with your request, we will explain why, where appropriate.
