Some types of employment may require that we collect information regarding your suitability to engage in those types of employment.

We will try to let you know who they are before we provide your personal information. However in some cases our clients wish to remain anonymous during the early stages of their considering a candidate's suitability. We will let you know when this occurs and seek your consent to our providing your personal information. Alternatively, we may provide information in a way that does not identify you.
B. referees and former employers you have nominated for the purposes of obtaining references;
C. other potential referees whose identity we will discuss with you;
D. professionalclick.com's consultants who perform recruitment services on behalf of professionalclick.com as independent contractors rather than employees;
E. independent contractors performing services for professionalclick.com on its information technology.

As regards referees, if you have or at some future date nominate a person for us to contact, we assume that you consent to our receiving a full and frank reference from that referee and that we are entitled to pass on the content of the referee's remarks to our clients, irrespective of the presence of derogatory material. If that is not the case, please notify us immediately. If you do not consent to this, however, it may devalue references that we do obtain or may place us in a position where we would decline to offer further assistance.
9. If you have omitted to provide relevant personal information, this may influence our assessment of your suitability for a position with professionalclick.com's clients. If we are not able to obtain the information we require, we might be limited in our ability to find suitable work of the type you are seeking or we may choose not to offer further assistance.
10. You may have provided us with or we may collect "sensitive information", as defined in the Privacy Act that it is necessary for us to collect.

If you do not wish us to do so, please contact us immediately to inform us.
