RECRUITMENT PRIVACY STATEMENT
EastLink is committed to protecting privacy and maintaining the confidentiality of personal information collected in
the course of carrying out its functions in accordance with its obligations set out in the Concession Deed.
Consistent with EastLink’s Privacy Policy, this statement outlines Human Resources policy for dealing with resumes
and other personal information that may be disclosed to EastLink in relation to employment opportunities with the
organisation.
During the recruitment and selection process EastLink collects a range of personal information such as resumes,
academic transcripts and references. Further personal information may also be collected during the selection
process including, but not limited to, telephone screening, telephone interviews, psychometric assessments,
competency and skills assessment, health information, criminal history and reference checking.
This information will be treated in the strictest confidence and will only be used for the purpose of tracking an
application’s history, assessing a candidate’s suitability for employment and eligibility for an appointment with the
organisation and to improve EastLink’s recruitment and selection processes through periodical analysis.
In performing its functions, Human Resources may also disclose the information provided by candidates to referees,
recruitment agencies and other third parties who assist EastLink in the recruitment and selection process.
Human Resources may also disclose information provided by candidates internally for the purposes of consideration
for other employment opportunities within EastLink. Candidates should advise EastLink if they do not wish to be
considered for a position other than the position applied for.
Candidates will be sourced directly and through third party agencies. All candidates will have access to an
Employment Information Kit or Position Brief and be provided information about the organisation’s identity, values,
employment policies, hiring department, role responsibilities, inherent requirements, behavioural competencies,
selection processes and other important employment information.
The provision of personal information in the context of an employment application is voluntary, but where information
is not provided or is insufficient or inaccurate, EastLink may be unable to fully process the application or properly
consider the candidate’s suitability or eligibility for employment.
Candidates may submit modified information or additional information for consideration in relation to their application
up to the closing date, if any, for the advertised vacancy. If at any time a candidate’s details change, the candidate
may correct the information held by EastLink.
Information collected during the recruitment and selection process will be stored securely either in a confidential
electronic file or in a locked cabinet. Hard copy information collected will be destroyed after three (3) months via a
confidential waste paper disposal method.
The information provided by candidates who are subsequently successful in their application will form the basis of
their employment records.
All queries in relation to employment applications should be directed to Human Resources on 9955 1700.
