The detection of any false information provided by the Potential Employee, or any conduct that is inconsistent with GeekHunter’s Policies and Foundational Principles of Conduct, may result in the immediate deletion of their registration on the Platform and the prohibition of new registrations by the Potential Employee, at GeekHunter’s sole discretion.
By applying for a job vacancy, the professional becomes part of both the GeekHunter Talent Pool and the recruiting company’s own talent database, which allows for the retention of their data even after the completion of the selection process. The professional may, at any time, choose to restrict the visibility of their profile exclusively to the selection process for which they applied or request the deletion of their data from GeekHunter.
