Candidates’ personal data will be processed only for recruitment purposes:

1) only for the position that the Candidate applies for, for the period necessary to conduct the recruitment process and select a candidate, and then for a period of 3 months, in case when, due to any reason, Skanska needs one more candidate for the same position;
2) if the Candidate grants separate consent for including his/her application in the database of job candidates at Skanska, also for other, similar positions at Skanska, for a period of 1 year.

4. Legal basis for personal data processing

Skanska asks only for the provision in recruitment applications of:

1) The information resulting from the labour law regulations, including the information on the possessed authorisations or special circumstances, if their possession/compliance with them is required under special legal regulations to perform work at this position;
2) The contact information necessary for the possible invitation of Candidates to the further stage of the recruitment process (as a legitimate interest of Skanska and Candidates).

At a further stage of the recruitment process, the Candidate may be asked to present his/her portfolio, to complete content-related tests/case studies, to provide a sample of his/her work, to complete personality tests, tests of analytical thinking, language tests and to participate in the diagnosis of the managerial potential.

The provision of the aforementioned personal data is voluntary; nevertheless, failure to do that may prevent the invitation of the Candidate to the further stage of the recruitment process or it may have impact on the Candidate verification result in terms of meeting formal conditions for the recruited position.

If the Candidate decides that he/she wants to include in his/her application any additional information that exceed the scope of the required information specified in the advertisement, the Candidate shall be obliged to include the following consent in his/her application: “I agree to the processing of my personal data included in this recruitment application for the recruitment purposes of Skanska Property Romania S.RL. with its registered office in Bucharest.”

If the Candidate fails to include the aforementioned consent and fails to complete it at a further recruitment stage, prior to the first recruitment meeting at the latest, his/her application will be immediately deleted and the Candidate will be obliged to deliver a new application including only the information specified by Skanska in the advertisement.

In case when the Candidate is invited to the further stage of the recruitment process consisting of personality tests, tests of analytical thinking, diagnosis of the managerial potential, the Candidate will be asked for granting separate consent for the personal data processing for this purpose.

5. Disclosure of Candidates’ personal data

Skanska does not make available Candidates’ personal data to any other controller, unless such an obligation has been imposed on Skanska under the law. These are, however, exceptional and occasional situations, e.g. a request of a court, prosecutor’s office.

If the Candidate has granted his/her consent for the inclusion of his/her personal data in the database of job candidates, the Candidate’s recruitment application may be verified by Skanska in terms of the recruitment processes conducted for the purposes of other companies of Skanska. However, before Skanska provides the recruitment application to any other company of Skanska, it shall contact selected Candidates and ask them for their consent for the provision of the application.

In addition, Candidates’ personal data may be revealed to the entities processing personal data to the order and on behalf of Skanska, in order to:

1) provide ICT services, such as hosting, provision or maintenance of IT systems;
2) conduct recruitment processes, in particular tests or examination of the managerial potential.

The processing of Candidates’ personal data is not connected with their provision to third parties by Skanska.
