If You do meet the requirements, We will decide whether Your application is strong enough to invite You for an interview.

6. Automated processing

  • Automated Decision-Making is when an electronic system processes personal data in order to make decisions without any human involvement or influence on the outcome. Where We use Phenom People Environment to categorise and filter applications from job applicants, We may decide to automatically reject any applications which fall below Our pass score, without human review. We are allowed to use automated decision-making when it is necessary in order to perform a contract with You and under other circumstances if You have provided Your explicit consent. We have implemented suitable measures to safeguard Your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests. If You do not agree with the automated decision-making, You can request that We review Your application by writing to Us at Dataprotection@verisure.co.uk. Below are scenarios where automated decision-making may be applied:
    • “Essential Criteria Screening”: To help Us assess whether You meet the essential requirements for the role You have applied for, You may be asked to answer specific, job-related screening questions. If the responses indicate that You do not meet these essential criteria, Your application will not progress further in the recruitment process. The screening questions are based solely on the specific requirements of the job opening, as detailed in the job description. 
    • “Candidate Assessment”: As We process large number of applications each year, We use a system to help Us assess whether Your application fits Our requirements. We will consider Your location, Your job title, Your skills and Your experience against Our job requirements, and make a prediction about Your suitability to the job description and/or ability to perform the job. Your personal data will be processed using an algorithm. The resulting analysis is used to determine Your progression through the recruitment process. This progression is based entirely on the results provided by the tool, and not on demographic data. The system produces a suitability score, from which We will undertake automated decision-making.

  • Automated processing: “Candidate Assessment”. We will (through the Phenom People environment) evaluate Your suitability for a position based particularly on Your skills and competences, proximity and / or location, relevancy for a job role and former and / or current job title. For example, if You are applying to a position the (human) recruiters will assess this information and all the other relevant information about You, to assess Your suitability for a role as part of the application and recruitment process.  
  • Curriculum vitae parsing. We will (through the Phenom People environment) automatically parse Your curriculum vitae to fill out Our forms. Prior to submitting Your curriculum vitae, We ask You to check its content, accuracy, spelling, grammar etc. It is important that the personal data We hold about You is accurate and current. Please keep Us informed if Your personal data changes and / or need to be rectified during Your application and recruitment process with Us, particularly by exercising Your data protection rights of access and rectification (see below for further information on how to exercise Your rights).

7. Who, where, and why they have access to Your personal data?

Internally (including Our Group entities). Your Personal data will be shared internally and with other entities of Our Group for the uses and purposes listed above. These include members of the HR team, hiring managers involved in the recruitment process, managers in the business area with the vacancy and IT staff if access to Your personal data is necessary for the performance of their roles.

If the third country of destination (including the U.S.A.) does not currently provide an adequate level of data protection according to applicable data protection legislations (i.e., UK GDPR), We will ensure to have in place appropriate measures to comply with applicable data protection legislations and regulatory requirements, such as the use of the standard contractual clauses for international transfers. Please note that Workday (for its intra-group transfer) may rely on its binding corporate rules rather than using standard contractual clauses for international transfer. You can always contact Us should You have doubts and / or require further information. 

8. How do We protect Your personal data?

We take the security of Your personal data seriously. We have internal policies and controls in place to protect Your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered, or disclosed.
