2. The use of automated decision-making
We can take the opportunity to use a system to analyse applications, including qualifications and experience that match the job description. Applications that do not fulfil defined criteria will be automatically filtered out.
The basis for automated decisions will be that some job opportunities are so attractive that it would be practically impossible for us to review all applications to find the most suitable candidate.
The consequences for applicants may be that rejected applications will not be considered for the position in question. This means that their application will not be manually reviewed by our recruitment team.
If automated decision-making is used for a specific position, the criteria and logic applied will be clearly outlined in the respective job advertisement.
3. With whom do we transfer personal data?
We may transfer personal data within the group structure, including to JYSK Corporate HR Department, which provides support and control functions for recruitment.
In some cases, we use data processors to process your personal data on our behalf such as Starred and SmartRecruiters.
If personal data are transferred to countries outside of UK, JYSK ensures an adequate level of protection by using standard contractual clauses in the agreements with the data recipients, or by ensuring that the recipients are at least subject to special certification mechanisms or that they constitute "safe" third countries approved by the UK.
You can request a copy of the basis for the transfer by contacting JYSK using the contact details provided above.
Specifically for transfer to SmartRecruiters, they participate under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Further information can be found here: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/list
