Recruitment Privacy Notice

  1. Introduction
     

This Recruitment Privacy notice explains how we TLT group companies (UAB TLT Electronics, UAB “TLT PCB,” UAB “TLT Mechanics”, collectively, "TLT", "we", "us", and "our") handle your personal data when you apply for a job with us directly or through a recruitment agency, or when you are referred to us by someone else.

For the purposes of recruitment, talent acquisition, and the management of our global hiring systems, TLT and the specific TLT entity to which you are applying (or where a relevant vacancy exists) act as Joint Controllers of your personal data.

What does this mean for you? This means that the TLT companies jointly determine the purposes and means of processing your application. We share common recruitment platforms and processes to ensure your application is assessed efficiently and to match your skills with opportunities across TLT.

Your Point of Contact. Although multiple TLT entities may process your data, we have arranged for TLT to act as your main contact point. You may exercise your rights under the GDPR (such as access or deletion) in respect of and against each of the joint controllers, but for your convenience, we recommend directing all inquiries to:

 

We use Workable, an online application provided by Workable Software Limited, to assist with our recruitment process. Workable acts as a Data Processor on our behalf.

  • When you apply for a job with us, your data will be stored and processed on Workable’s secure servers.

  • We have signed a Data Processing Agreement with Workable to ensure your data is protected in accordance with the GDPR.

  • Workable may use automated means to assist us in organizing applications (e.g., filtering), but the final decision on recruitment is always made by our human recruitment team.

  • Where you apply for a job opening via the application function on a job site or similar online service provider (“Partner”), you should note that the relevant Partner may retain your personal data and may also collect data from Us in respect of the progress of your application. Any use by the Partner of your data will be in accordance with the Partner’s Privacy Notice.

  • We collect data to evaluate your suitability for the role. This includes:

    • Identity & Contact Info: Name, email, phone number, location, links to social media (e.g., LinkedIn).

    • Professional Info: CV/Resume, employment history, education, skills, and qualifications.

    • Interview Notes: Records of interviews, assessments, or coding tests completed during the process.

    In addition to the information you provide directly, we may collect information about you from third parties:

    • Workable provides us with the facility to link the data you provide to us with other publicly available information about you that you have published on the Internet. This may include sources such as LinkedIn and other social media profiles.

    • Workable’s technology allows Us to search various databases – some publicly available and others not, which may include your personal data (include your CV or Resumé), to find possible candidates to fill our job openings. Where We find you in this way we will obtain your personal data from these sources.
