Data quality
Altmore IT Recruitment will take reasonable steps to ensure that the information we consensually disclose to a third-party is accurate, complete and up to date, prior to disclosure.

Management of Altmore IT Recruitment is committed to the Act and to ensuring we meet all standards required.
Personal information provided to Altmore IT Recruitment by our candidates is used solely for the purpose of candidate career advancement. Prior to any candidate information being forwarded to clients, permission is sought directly from the candidate.
Once registered as a candidate with Altmore IT Recruitment, we may e-mail or mail relevant information in relation to assisting candidates in their job search.
Opting out
Altmore IT Recruitment also provides candidates with the opportunity to opt out of these types of communications. If a candidate chooses to receive communications of this type at the time of registration, but later decides they no longer want to receive them, they can simply contact the Altmore IT Recruitment office and request to be removed from the circulation database.
Security measures
Altmore IT Recruitment employs strict security procedures and firewalls to ensure the integrity and security of any personal information that we hold. Only those with an authorised requirement have access to candidate and contractor information. In addition, our recruitment database can only be accessed through individual password systems. Additional security measures which we have in place include:
The candidate recruitment database cannot be printed or e-mailed;
An e-mail tracking system designed to ensure the location of candidate information can be traced.
Sensitive information
Altmore IT Recruitment will not request that you disclose sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for the express purpose of commencing a contract role or permanent employment which has been facilitated by Altmore IT Recruitment. Some sensitive information may be required for security clearance purposes for roles within high security organisations. In security situations, refusal to provide appropriate access may prevent a candidate from being considered for such roles. This is because it may be a condition of employment, with some clients, that security clearance be obtained prior to commencement.
However, should you disclose sensitive personal information when you submit an application, or when requesting us to locate a suitable role for you, we will remove this information prior to client submission.
