Information for candidates

If a recruiter contacted you about a role and said they found you through TalentRiver, this page explains how your profile got into our database, what we do with it, and how to remove it.

You can ask to see, correct or remove your profile, and you can object to this processing, at any time. We will remove your profile within 30 days and tell customers that hold a copy of it. You can also complain to the Swedish supervisory authority, Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY), at www.imy.se.

TalentRiver AB, Stockholm, Sweden, provides a recruitment platform used by employers and recruitment agencies. We are the data controller for the candidate database described here. Privacy contact: Tim Tellqvist, CEO, hello@talentriver.ai.

We collect professional information that you have made publicly available, such as on professional networking sites, company websites and public CVs. We collect it directly and through data partners that gather data from such public sources. We do not collect data from private sources, and we do not collect sensitive data such as health, religion, political opinions or union membership.

Name, current and past employers and job titles, education, skills, location, a link to your public profile, and, where publicly available, a work email address or phone number. We may infer professional characteristics, such as seniority or skill area, from this information.

We process this data in our legitimate interest, and that of our customers, in helping employers find suitable candidates using information those candidates have chosen to make public (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)). We have carried out a legitimate interest assessment and provide a summary on request. Safeguards: professional data only, no sensitive data, no selling of data, no automated decisions about you, removal on request.

Employers and recruitment agencies that subscribe to TalentRiver, when your profile matches a search they run. A customer that imports your profile into its own recruitment process becomes the controller for that copy, and its own privacy notice applies. We also use the sub-processors listed at talentriver.ai/subprocessors to run the service.

Our AI features search, sort and summarise large volumes of profiles for the recruiter who runs a search. They help the recruiter decide which profiles to look at. They do not make any decision about you.

The database holds a very large number of profiles collected from public sources, and we have no relationship with the people in it. Contacting each person would involve a disproportionate effort (Article 14(5)(b)), so we publish this notice instead and offer the removal route below.

As long as it is necessary for helping employers find candidates and while the source information remains public. We remove a profile when you ask us to.
