Purpose for processing your personal data

The data related to your recruitment is processed by the entity of the Devoteam Group considering your application, acting as data controller within the meaning of the regulations. The processing activity described here concerns any type of recruitment process, whether it is based on direct or spontaneous application, on a cooptation process, or as part of our sourcing practices.

Your data is processed in order to perform the selection of candidates and the recruitment of our future employees, in accordance with our recruitment process. More specifically, it is processed in order to :

  • manage your candidate profile as well as your job applications,

  • offer you the opportunity to take part in events organised by the Devoteam Group as part of its recruitment campaigns.

We process your personal data for the purposes mentioned above based on your prior consent, to the extent such consent is mandatory under the applicable legal framework.

When you are asked to click on/check “I accept”, “I agree” or similar buttons/checkboxes/functionalities in relation to a personal data protection notice on a job application, doing so will be considered as providing your consent to process your personal data for the stated purposes.

In all other countries, such action will be considered as a mere acknowledgement and the legal basis of the processing of your personal data will not be your consent but legitimate interest, that of responding to your job application and of adapting Devoteam’s human resource to our needs, without prejudice to your rights and freedoms, as data subjects. In this regard, we undertake to contact you in the most relevant way in relation to your needs, or in response to your application.
