It makes you aware of how and why your personal data will be used, namely for the purposes of the recruitment exercise, and how long it will usually be retained for.

How Is Your Personal Data Collected?

We collect personal data about candidates from the following sources:

• you – the candidate

• carry out conflict of interest checks
• communicate with you about the recruitment process
• keep records related to our hiring processes and
• comply with legal or regulatory requirements.

It is in our legitimate interests to decide whether to appoint you to the role since it would be beneficial to our business to appoint candidates to open roles.

We also need to process your personal data to decide whether to enter into a contract of employment or engagement with you.

Having received your CV and covering letter and your application form, we will then process that information to decide whether you meet the basic requirements to be shortlisted for the role. If you do, we will decide whether your application is strong enough to invite you for an interview. If we decide to call you for an interview, we will use the information you provide to us at the interview to decide whether to offer you the role. If we decide to offer you the role, we will then take up references before confirming your appointment.

If You Fail To Provide Personal Data

If you fail to provide information when requested, which is necessary for us to consider your application (such as evidence of qualifications or work history), we will not be able to process your application successfully.

Data that DaVita uses for these purposes will be collected on an anonymised basis.
