Employer screening service terms

You may only use the employer screening service if you are acting for a genuine hiring purpose on behalf of a legitimate business or organisation.

You must use your own authorised account and must not create screening sessions for another organisation unless you are authorised to act on that organisation's behalf.

You must only enter candidate details where you have a proper reason to do so in connection with a genuine hiring process.

You must ensure that all screening questions are relevant to the role or hiring process, are lawful, fair, and proportionate, are not misleading, abusive, or discriminatory, and do not request unnecessary personal data.

You must not ask for special-category personal data, identity documents, webcam footage, biometric data, or other intrusive information unless you have a clear lawful basis, an appropriate notice, and a genuine operational need.

Where you use North Star employer screening for your own hiring purposes, you are responsible for your own compliance with data protection, equality, and employment law in relation to your use of candidate information after North Star has delivered it to you.

You should ensure that you have an appropriate lawful basis for your screening workflow, that candidates can access your own employer privacy information where required, and that your screening process is fair and role-relevant.

For this release of the employer screening service, North Star Job Hunt delivers completed screening answers only to the signed-in employer account email used to create the session.

North Star Job Hunt may keep limited answer content temporarily if delivery has not yet succeeded and a resend is needed. Once delivery succeeds, North Star Job Hunt aims to remove stored answer content and keep only limited metadata necessary for workflow status, audit, troubleshooting, security, and abuse prevention.

You must not use the employer screening service in a way that is unfair, coercive, excessive, or misleading.

You must not use the service to run covert monitoring, claim that North Star has independently scored or endorsed a candidate unless that is clearly true, or use the service for spam, harassment, or unrelated data collection.

The current employer screening service does not include webcam verification, biometric identity checks, face matching, or video attendance monitoring by default.

If North Star Job Hunt later considers adding those types of feature, they would require separate review, product change, and legal/privacy assessment before any live use.

You are responsible for keeping your employer account secure and for preventing unauthorised access to screening results delivered to your email account or later copied into your own internal systems.

You must notify North Star Job Hunt promptly if you believe your account has been compromised, a screening link was created in error, the wrong candidate details were used, or screening results may have been exposed to the wrong person.

North Star Job Hunt will aim to keep the employer screening service available, but does not guarantee uninterrupted operation or error-free delivery in every case.

North Star Job Hunt does not guarantee that any candidate will complete a screening session, that delivery will always be instantaneous, or that the service by itself will support a lawful or fair hiring decision without your own review and judgement.

You remain responsible for your own hiring decisions and your own later use of candidate information after delivery.
