With your knowledge or authorization, relevant professional information may also be shared with a prospective employer. Information presented to employers may include your resume, project experience, compensation expectations, location preferences, interview notes, availability, and other information relevant to the hiring process.

Hirewell and prospective employers may maintain their own privacy policies and data-handling practices. You should review the privacy policies of those organizations when your information is submitted to them.
