Automated decision-making

If you have submitted your CV through a jobsite, then you may have been subject to some form of automatic decision making. This is in the use of the search facilities provided by these sites, where a key word relevant to the vacancy is used to pick out information within CV’s as held on the site for the purpose of searching for candidates who may meet the key skills or experience relevant to that vacancy. We ensure that any search criteria do not inadvertently discriminate against candidates. This is not a purely automatic process, and candidates are subject to human intervention once filtered.
