Candidate Interactions

Consent and Privacy

• You must obtain explicit consent from candidates before submitting a referral on their behalf. However, if a candidate applies using your referral link, their consent is implied, and no additional steps are required.
• You must inform candidates about the specific company and role you're referring them to.
• All candidates receive our Privacy Policy via email and have access to their application status as well as a link to the job description. This email will mention that you referred them.
• From this point, the candidate can withdraw their application from the process if they do not want to proceed or did not give their consent.
• If a candidate withdraws their application and tells us you did not get their consent you may lose access to Hirechain.
