Privacy Policy

Big Sky Corporate Pty Ltd trading as Hope & Glory (Hope & Glory, we, our or us) respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly and in accordance with applicable Australian privacy laws.

This Privacy Policy explains how Hope & Glory collects, holds, uses and discloses personal information in connection with our recruitment, executive search, talent acquisition, temporary and interim recruitment and related business activities.

It applies to personal information we receive through our website and through other channels and platforms we use in conducting our business. These may include job boards, professional networking and social media platforms, email, telephone and video communications, interviews and meetings, recruitment and applicant management systems, referees, clients, publicly available sources and third-party services and technology platforms.

Our website is one way people may interact with Hope & Glory and provide personal information to us, but this Privacy Policy is not limited to information collected through our website.

1. Personal information we collect and hold

The personal information we collect and hold depends on the nature of our relationship with you and the services we are providing. It may include:

  • your name and contact details;
  • resumes, applications, employment history, professional experience, skills and qualifications;
  • information about career interests, availability, location and remuneration expectations;
  • information contained in correspondence, interview notes, assessments, online profiles and professional networking profiles;
  • interview, meeting or telephone call recordings and transcripts where recording or transcription is used;
  • information provided by referees and professional contacts;
  • work rights, identity, qualification, background or other verification information where appropriate;
  • information provided by employer clients about their organisations, employees, recruitment needs, roles and workplaces;
  • position descriptions, organisational charts, recruitment briefs and related materials;
  • information required for temporary or contract employment, payroll, superannuation, insurance, workplace health and safety or other employment administration where relevant; and
  • other personal information you provide to us, or that is reasonably necessary for us to provide our services.

2. Sensitive information

In limited circumstances, we may receive sensitive information where it is relevant to a recruitment or employment process and where its collection or handling is permitted by law. We do not ordinarily seek or collect health or medical information unless it is reasonably necessary for a specific purpose.

Where sensitive information is collected, we will handle it in accordance with applicable privacy requirements. This may include obtaining consent where required.

3. How we collect personal information

We generally collect personal information directly from you, including when you contact us, apply for a role, provide a resume, communicate with us, participate in an interview or meeting, provide information for an employment or recruitment process, or otherwise engage with Hope & Glory.

We may also collect personal information from other sources where appropriate, including:

  • employer clients and prospective employers;
  • referees and professional contacts;
  • job boards, recruitment platforms and professional networking services;
  • publicly available sources;
  • recruitment, research, verification and database services; and
  • other third parties involved in recruitment, employment or verification processes.

We may sometimes receive personal information that we did not specifically request. Where this occurs, we will handle the information in accordance with applicable privacy requirements.

4. Why we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information

We collect, hold, use and disclose personal information where reasonably necessary to conduct our business and provide recruitment and related services. This may include:

  • considering and assessing people for current or future employment opportunities;
  • identifying, contacting and communicating with potential job seekers;
  • introducing or recommending job seekers to employer clients;
  • undertaking recruitment, executive search, talent identification and talent pooling activities;
  • communicating about employment opportunities that may be relevant;
  • understanding an employer client’s recruitment, workforce and business requirements;
  • conducting interviews, assessments, reference checks and appropriate verification activities;
  • managing temporary, contract or other employment arrangements;
  • administering payroll, superannuation, insurance and other employment obligations where Hope & Glory is the employer or labour-hire provider;
  • maintaining recruitment and business records;
  • improving our services, business processes and technology;
  • managing relationships with job seekers, employees, contractors, clients, suppliers and professional contacts; and
  • meeting legal, regulatory, insurance, audit and other legitimate business requirements.

We may also use or disclose personal information for another purpose where you have consented, where the purpose is reasonably related to the purpose for which the information was collected and would reasonably be expected, or where otherwise permitted or required by law.

5. Disclosure of personal information

We may disclose personal information where reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Depending on the circumstances, this may include disclosure to:

  • employer clients and prospective employers;
  • job seekers and prospective employees where appropriate;
  • referees and organisations involved in verification, screening or background-checking processes;
  • payroll, accounting, superannuation, insurance, legal and other professional service providers;
  • technology, communications, recruitment, data storage, transcription and other service providers that assist us in operating our business;
  • government, regulatory, law-enforcement or other bodies where required or authorised by law; and
  • other persons or organisations where you have consented to the disclosure or the disclosure is otherwise permitted or required by law.

We will not ordinarily provide a job seeker’s detailed personal information to an employer client unless there is an appropriate recruitment or business purpose for doing so.

6. Artificial intelligence, automated tools, recording and transcription

While machines will never replace the professional judgement, experience and care of our consultants, we may use artificial intelligence (AI), transcription technology and other automated tools to support our work.

These technologies may assist with activities such as collecting, transcribing, organising, searching, analysing and summarising information, and preparing recruitment-related materials. This may help us understand the needs and experience of job seekers and employer clients and provide more considered and tailored services.

Information processed with the assistance of these technologies may include resumes, online and professional profiles, interview or meeting transcripts, emails and other correspondence, position descriptions, organisational charts, recruitment briefs and related documentation.

Interviews, meetings and telephone calls may sometimes be recorded or transcribed using digital tools to assist with note-taking, assessment and record-keeping. Where appropriate, participants will be informed that recording or transcription is taking place.

AI and automated tools are used to support our professional work and are subject to human oversight. We remain responsible for how personal information is handled in our recruitment processes.

7. Direct marketing and contact about opportunities

Where permitted by law, we may contact you about employment opportunities, recruitment services, market information or other professional matters that we reasonably believe may be relevant to you.

You may ask us at any time not to send you marketing communications. You can do this by using an unsubscribe option where provided or by contacting us. This does not prevent us from contacting you about an active recruitment, employment or business matter.

8. How we hold and protect personal information

Personal information may be held electronically in our recruitment, communications, document management, cloud-based and other business systems, and in other records maintained in connection with our business.

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information we hold from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. These steps may include access controls, account security, technology safeguards, staff practices and use of reputable service providers.

No method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore review our security practices and take reasonable steps appropriate to the nature of the information and our business.

9 Retention and disposal

We retain personal information for as long as it is reasonably required for our recruitment, employment, business, legal, insurance or record-keeping purposes. Recruitment information may be retained so that we can consider a person for future opportunities unless the person asks us to remove or restrict the information and we are able to do so.

When personal information is no longer required to be retained, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it where required by law and practicable in the circumstances.

10. Anonymity and pseudonyms

Where practicable, you may deal with us without identifying yourself or by using a pseudonym. However, because of the nature of recruitment and employment services, it will often be impracticable for us to assess an application, introduce a job seeker to an employer, undertake checks, or manage an employment arrangement without knowing the person’s identity.

11. Access to and correction of personal information

You may contact us if you would like to request access to personal information we hold about you or if you believe information we hold is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading.

We will consider requests for access or correction in accordance with applicable privacy laws. We may need to verify your identity before providing access. There may be circumstances in which we are permitted or required to refuse access to particular information. If so, we will explain our decision where required by law.

12. Our website

Our website is one of the channels through which Hope & Glory may collect information.

Also, we may disclose personal information when we believe in good faith that the law requires disclosure. 6. We may engage third parties to provide you with goods or services on our behalf.
