  2. Assess your suitability or availability for job placements in permanent or temporary positions or tasks, where test results, reference checks, etc., may also be used.
  3. Process data for our customers in relation to pre-employment screening.

What personal data do we collect?
We process the information you provide through the website and the information you submit in your CV and possibly other documents. This primarily includes the following information:

  • Date of birth
  • Employment status
  • Curriculum vitae (CV) - information about education, internships, work experience, language skills

In most cases, all information comes from you. If you have provided references, we may choose to contact these references. The information we obtain from references pertains to your job function and consists solely of general personal information.

Disclosure of your information
When matching your preferences and qualifications with available jobs, your information will be disclosed to the company that has a relevant job opening. The respective company will process your personal information in connection with the position. If you are applying for jobs in the hotel, restaurant, and catering industry, we may choose to disclose your information to Assistance HR Partners A/S, which is 100% owned by JKS. We do this to enhance your job opportunities, as Assistance HR Partners A/S specializes in this industry.

Legal basis
The legal basis for processing and disclosing your personal information is the General Data Protection Regulation Article 6, 1, f), also known as the legitimate interest rule. The legitimate interest we pursue is the desire to match the right temporary workers with the right jobs. The legal basis for obtaining references is also Article 6, 1, f), and the interest we pursue is to confirm the information we received in the recruitment process.

Retention period
Your personal information is stored for as long as it is relevant, meaning as long as there are opportunities for relevant jobs. You can request the deletion of your personal information at any time, and in many cases, you may be able to do so yourself.

When you become affiliated with JKS as a temporary worker
You will receive an affiliation agreement that needs to be signed:

  • When we have a vacant temporary position that matches your preferences and qualifications or
  • If we assess that you can be offered a temporary position relatively quickly.

This agreement is part of the overall employment agreement you will receive when you are offered a specific temporary position.

Purposes
The purpose of collecting additional information is to manage your employment relationship, including paying your wages when you are on the job, and continuously offering you temporary positions.

If you become ill while on the job, you must report your sick leave by phone - you will be informed of this in the affiliation agreement and job order.
