What information do we collect?

Matchmakers helps you find the most perfect and challenging job match. And it helps employers find the right candidates for job vacancies.

To be able to make this match we make the best use of data provided by jobseekers/candidates and employers.

Candidates Data

In addition to the NAW data, we ask candidates to provide us with information about their education or work experience. And of course, what challenges they are looking for.

To verify your identity, we are also obliged to carry out an identity check. We must request this information and keep it.

When you register with Matchmakers you create a personal profile. You can always consult and modify this at the personal profile environment.

Through the Matchmakers platform you can also send a CV. This digital document will be held in the Matchmakers system.

Employers Data

To contact employers regarding the vacancies, information will also be entered. This way we are able to know which contacts we have for the various job vacancies. In order to provide the best possible service, we also keep the personal preferences of the various contacts. For example, regarding the time of contact or the preference regarding the means of communication (phone/e-mail or chat).

Data relating to the use of the Matchmakers website

To analyze the activities on the website we use Google Analytics data. This is based on anonymized IP address. Read more about this in the Cookies Statement.

Our website does not intend to collect information from visitors who are under 18 years of age. These visitors must first obtain permission from their parents or guardians.

Unfortunately, we cannot check whether visitors are actually over 18 or older. This information is not collected by us. If you believe that this information should be collected, please contact the relevant Data Protection Officer (see contact below).

Purposes and basis of data processing

We do not collect or use information for purposes other than those described in this privacy policy unless we obtain your prior permission for such purpose. Personal data is used for:

  • editing Resumes submitted online
  • creating candidate profiles
  • creating a job vacancy summary
  • matching candidates and jobs
  • sending newsletters
  • communication about modifications to products and services
  • contact by phone or e-mail for the provision of services
  • Website performance analysis

Sharing data with third parties

We send data through an external Flexhub partner. Apart from it and the exceptions below (Matching Candidates to Vacancies and Newsletters) the information will not be shared with third parties. In some cases, the information will be distributed internally. Our employees are obliged to respect the confidentiality of your data.

Upon your request, we may also provide personal data to third parties for which you give us permission. For example, in terms of gaining more specific information about an interview with a principal/employer.

Purpose and basis of data processing

The purpose of cooperation with Google Analytics is to collect insights about visitor behavior on the website. This gives us more information about how we can adapt the website based on the users wishes.

Because the IP address is anonymized, the impact on visitors’ privacy is negligible. The data is processed on the basis of a legitimate interest, in accordance with the guidelines for GDPR compliance.

Communication and Newsletters

When you send us an e-mail or other messages, we may retain those messages. Sometimes we ask you for personal information that is relevant to the situation. This makes it possible for us to process your questions and respond to your inquiries.

The data is stored on separate secure servers of Matchmakers or those of a third party. We will not combine this data with other personal data that we have obtained.

Matchmakers may give you the opportunity to sign up for newsletters. For this reason, we need at least your e-mail. You can also give us your name when signing up for newsletters.

To send newsletters via e-mail, we use the services of a specialized external party. This organization therefore holds your e-mail address but also follows GDPR guidelines. This organization specializes in newsletter mailing and directory security.

Modify/unsubscribe from newsletter service

At the bottom of each newsletter we send, you can find the option to modify your data or unsubscribe from the newsletter service.

How long we keep personal data

Matchmakers will not retain personal data longer than is strictly necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it is collected. Of course, the emphasis here is on matching candidates and job vacancies.

The processed data is maintained until the agreement is executed or a maximum of 14 months in the case of Google. When the law provides for a longer period, Matchmakers will follow this period.

Cookies and cookie retention periods

Read about Cookies on our Cookies Policy page.

Data monitoring, modification or deletion

With the GDPR legislation entering into force, you have the right to see your personal data, (you are allowed to) correct them or (allowed to) delete them. Anyone about whom we have collected information can ask us to:

  • allow them to see their collected personal data
  • make corrections to their data
  • stop processing and/or delete the data
  • to transfer personal data (“data export”)

Much of the information we have stored about you can be viewed from your profile page. For this purpose, you can log in to your profile environment. In this environment you can modify yourself a lot of information if you want.

You can submit a request for supervising, correcting, deleting, transferring of your personal data or a request to withdraw your consent or objecting to the processing of your personal data to the Data Protection Officer (FG): jobs@matchmakersholland.com

Each data subject has the right to submit a complaint to an inspector about the way Matchmakers processes data and/or gives information to data subjects. An inspector can be, for example, the Personal Data Service.

Identification control

To ensure that the application for supervision has been made by you, we ask that you send a copy of your ID along with the application. This is how we prevent someone else from asking for your data or asking for it to be deleted.

Please be careful about privacy. For this reason, black out the photo on this copy of your ID, the MRZ (machine readable zone, the strip of numbers at the bottom of the passport), the passport number and the National Register Number (BSN). This is to protect your privacy. You have the right apps for that.

We respond to your request, as soon as possible but no later than within 30 days.
