This policy explains how applicant information is collected, used, viewed, and protected when using the temporary staff recruitment portal.
The portal is used for official recruitment purposes of the Faculty of Technology. The information you provide helps the Faculty receive applications, review qualifications, and communicate with applicants during the recruitment process.
When you use the recruitment portal, we collect the information needed to create your account and process your application. This may include your name, email address, contact details, personal details, educational qualifications, professional qualifications, employment history, references, and other information requested in the application form.
We may also collect documents you upload, such as profile photographs, certificates, transcripts, service letters, and other supporting records required for a vacancy.
Some basic information about your use of the portal may be kept to help maintain the service, protect accounts, and support official administration.
Your information is used to create and manage your account, receive your application, review your qualifications, communicate with you, and support the recruitment process of the Faculty.
The Faculty may use the submitted information to confirm whether an application is complete, compare applications against vacancy requirements, prepare review records, and contact applicants when required.
Information may also be used for record keeping, service improvement, and protection of the portal from misuse.
Your application details may be viewed by authorized Faculty staff who are involved in recruitment, review, shortlisting, administration, or communication related to the vacancy.
Access is provided according to official responsibilities. Staff members should only view and use applicant information for the work they are assigned to perform.
