Obtaining the consent of an applicant when they apply via Welcome to the Jungle 👍

Table of contents

    Applicants must give their explicit consent to their personal data being used and retained by ticking a box when they apply.

     

    By default, the statement they accept is: 

    "I agree that YOUR COMPANY NAME may retain my personal data for two* years so I can be contacted about new opportunities."

    *This number can be changed.

     

    You can add to this statement with a link (URL) to your data privacy policy. 

    ⚠️ We highly recommend that you fill in this field because the GDPR stipulates that applicants must have easy access to your privacy policy.

    From the Legal & Compliance section of the Settings tab on your ATS dashboard: click the Edit button in the "Data Retention Settings" section, then add the link to your data privacy policy in the "URL" field.
