Hour Consulting Corporation (“HCC”, “Hour Consulting”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of job seekers and candidates. This Candidate Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you apply for jobs or register with us.
This policy applies to all individuals who submit resumes, apply for positions, or register as candidates through our website (www.hourconsulting.com) or by other means.
For our full Privacy Policy, including information for employers and website visitors, please visit www.hourconsulting.com/privacy-policy.
Information We Collect
When you apply for a position or register with HCC, we may collect the following information:
From Your Resume/Application: Contact information (name, email, phone, address), employment history, education, skills and qualifications, salary expectations, and any other information you choose to include.
During the Interview Process: Type of position sought, availability, reasons for job changes, strengths and areas for improvement, location and schedule preferences, references, and skills assessment results (if applicable).
For Placement (if HCC is your employer of record): Social Insurance Number, date of birth, emergency contact information, and banking details for payroll purposes. This information is only collected if you are placed in a position where HCC handles your payroll directly.
How We Use Your Information
We use your personal information to:
(a) Match you with suitable job opportunities; (b) Contact you about positions that fit your profile; (c) Arrange interviews with potential employers; (d) Conduct skills assessments when required; (e) Contact your references (with your permission); (f) Process payroll if you are placed in a position where HCC is the employer of record; (g) Keep your information on file for future opportunities.
Sharing Your Information
Your privacy is important to us. We want you to know that:
We do not sell your personal information.
Your resume and personal information are only accessible to HCC employees.
We will not share your resume or details with any employer or third party without first obtaining your verbal or written consent.
When you give us permission to submit you for a specific role, we may share relevant information (resume, skills assessment results, references) with that employer only.
Data Storage
Your personal information is stored in our secure candidate management system (JobDiva) and may also be stored on our website hosting platform (WP Engine). Both providers maintain appropriate security measures and are subject to their own privacy policies.
Data Retention
We retain your information indefinitely so we can match you with future job opportunities — unless you request deletion.
If you are placed in a position where HCC is your employer of record (i.e., HCC handles your payroll directly), we are required to retain certain payroll-related information in accordance with Canada Revenue Agency requirements. If you are placed directly with an external employer, these retention requirements do not apply to HCC.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
(a) Access a copy of your personal information held by HCC; (b) Request correction of any inaccurate information; (c) Request deletion of your information from our database; (d) Withdraw your consent to our use of your information at any time.
HCC does not sell your personal information.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@hourconsulting.com. We will respond to requests within 30 days.
Security
HCC takes reasonable measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, unintended disclosure, or theft. These measures include password-protected systems and secure data storage practices.
Your Consent
By submitting your resume or registering with HCC, you consent to the collection, use, and storage of your personal information as described in this policy.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us. Please note that withdrawing consent may affect our ability to match you with job opportunities.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Candidate Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the bottom of this page.
