QJumpers’ Recruitment Software

QJumpers provides a platform (Site) on which an organisation (Employer) can place an advertisement about a job vacancy (Job Posting). Individuals can browse and/or search Job Postings, register their interest to work for an Employer and may choose to submit an application for a Job Posting (Application). An individual who registers their interest to work for an Employer and/or submits an Application is referred to as a Candidate. Employers are responsible for the information contained and requested in their Job Posting. 

Candidates

Profile
Submitting an Application on the QJumpers’ Site is free and optional. To submit an Application, you must provide us with certain personal information e.g. your name, email address, address and phone number (Mandatory Information). In addition to the Mandatory Information you may provide additional information such as your curriculum vitae which, in conjunction with the Mandatory Information and a password forms a Profile

Membership
Some Employers will only accept an Application from member Candidates. Candidates may choose to register as a member by creating a login and password. Through the membership login, Candidates can edit, change, or delete their Profile and withdraw an Application. If a Candidate deletes their Profile, all information including their Resume and any Applications contained in the Profile, will be deleted from the Site and from QJumpers’ servers.

Questionnaires
An Employer that receives your Application may request additional information such as a photo or a cover letter and may ask for a questionnaire to be completed (this information will form part of your Application). Employers create their own questionnaires. If you believe any information requested by an Employer in a questionnaire breaches the Privacy Act 2020 or is otherwise inappropriate or illegal, please notify us and the Employer immediately. The information collected when Candidates are answering questionnaires is only available to the Employer’s users who have been granted access by the Employer’s system administrator to the Job Posting the Candidate has applied for on the Site. QJumpers advises Employers to not ask for any personal information that is not required for the purpose of finding a suitable Candidate for the Job Posting. 

Resume Pool
A Candidate’s Profile may be stored by an Employer in a Resume Pool for the purpose of finding suitable hires for future job vacancies with the Employer. Your Profile will be included in the Resume Pool by applying for a job opening or registering your interest to work at an Employer’s organisation or if you expressly request that it be included in the Resume Pool.   Employer’s users who have been given permission to access the Resume Pool may search for suitable Candidates and contact Candidates if they think they are suitable for a particular Job Posting.

Offer and Employment Agreement Module 
If you are the successful Candidate for a Job Positing, the Employer may use the Site’s offer and employment agreement module, whereby an offer letter and/or employment agreement is populated. Information collected may include your name, address, job title, salary, and place of work. Such information and the resultant offer letter and/or employment agreement will be stored securely by us for 6 months after which it will be deleted.

Security and Storage

Access to Personal Information

Candidates, Employers and Users can access their personal information by logging into the Site using a username and password. You are responsible for ensuring the security of your log in details. QJumpers recognises that information about Candidates, including their work history and job search, is sensitive. Equally, information about Employers may be commercially sensitive, and information about Users may be sensitive. QJumpers uses security safeguards as are reasonable in the circumstances to ensure your information is secure, including:

Passwords
Candidates and Users can access their personal information by logging into the Site using a username and password. Each Candidate and User is responsible for ensuring the privacy and security of their login details. We use the practice of hashing passwords to ensure passwords are not stored in plain text. Hashing is a one-way function algorithm that turns any amount of data into a fixed-length "fingerprint" that cannot be reversed. This allows QJumpers to store passwords in a form that protects the password even if the password file itself is compromised, but also allows us to verify that a user's password is correct.

Employer User Authorisation
Administrators can set different access rights for each User. These access rights determine which information the User can access. This allows the Administrator to grant some Users access to some Candidates’ personal information while restricting access by other Users.

Data Encryption
All data that goes between Candidates, Employers (including their individual Users) and the Site is encrypted using TLS (Transport Layer Security) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates which is the industry standard. SSL is a cryptographic protocol that has been engineered to stop eavesdropping, forgery and tampering of internet network traffic between two communicating computer applications, for example the browser on your computer or phone at one end and our web server at the other. SSL certificates confirm your data is protected when moving between you and our web servers. To check that your data is encrypted, look for the little lock shown in the address bar of your browser. All data, including any uploaded documents such as curriculum vitaes and cover letters, are also encrypted when “at rest” in our database using strong standards-based ciphers and protected in transit via SSL.

Network Security and Protection
We use firewalls to monitor, control and protect the flow of internet traffic to our web servers. 

Monitoring
All traffic and application interactions are logged and monitored. This enables us to quickly identify and investigate any suspicious activity. 

Secure Data Centres
Our QJumpers website is hosted by Amazons Web Services (AWS). AWS are a global industry leader in infrastructure-as-a-Service cloud-based hosting with industry best practice security practices. Access to AWS facilities is restricted to only key employees with appropriate approval. Data for any users in New Zealand and Australia is stored in Australia. Data for other countries is stored in the USA.

Application Security

Our application security layer uses encrypted cookie tokens which deny access if a token does not correspond to a valid user session. We also monitor idle time so that a session is terminated if the there is no interaction within a specified time which protects a Candidate or a User if their computer or phone is left unattended.
