Canada Privacy Statement

Updated 1/2008

Aerotek & TEKsystems respects your right to privacy. The information below outlines how our privacy principles protect your right to privacy as a key part of our on-going relationship with you as a valued Contract Worker. Your personal information is only collected, used and disclosed by Aerotek & TEKsystems in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Why do we collect personal information?

As a Contract Worker or potential Contract Worker using Aerotek & TEKsystems’ services, you are asked to provide certain pieces of information in order for us to provide you and our clients the best possible service. In addition to your contact information, your resume, and a description of the type of work you are looking for, your file may include documents such as the following:

  • Our interview notes
  • Information obtained through reference and background checks
  • Educational or professional accreditation records
  • Reference letters
  • Test results

For temporary staffing assignments, we also require the following types of information:

  • Information necessary to provide payroll services, including banking details, tax deductions and vacation allowances
  • Information about you and your beneficiaries, as required, to enroll in any benefits packages

We use your information to:

  • Understand your qualifications, needs and preferences
  • Find the best job opportunities for you that will give you the job satisfaction you are looking for
  • Fulfill our clients’ requests for information about job candidates
  • Assess and develop our business and operations to better service Contract Workers and our clients
  • Provide payroll and other Human Resources functions to you, for temporary staffing assignments

    Aerotek & TEKsystems Group Canada does not collect more personal information than is needed to fulfill these purposes unless requested by the client and consented by the Contract Worker.

    When do we disclose personal information and to whom?

    Your personal information is never sold or leased to any external company. Your information is only disclosed for Aerotek & TEKsystems’ legitimate purposes or as required to meet legal and regulatory requirements.

    Throughout the normal course of business, we disclose your personal information to our clients when we believe there is a potential for a job placement. As a Contract Worker or potential Contract Worker, you are relying on us to share this information. We only provide your information to our clients if there is a job opening that we think may be suited for you. We will not disclose any personal information about you, beyond what we feel the client reasonably requires to make an informed decision.

    We may share information with our affiliates, partners, contractors or other companies (collectively “representatives”) that we use in connection with providing full staffing services. However, we only disclose limited information as required for the function that will be performed by the representative on our behalf. We also ensure that every contract we enter into with a representative clearly outlines the representative’s obligation to protect your personal information.

    Have you consented?

    Having read this policy and by using our services and providing us with your personal information, we imply your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as specified herein.

    We imply your consent if we feel we are using your personal information for purposes that are obvious to you. For example, if you list the names and phone numbers of your previous employers on your resume for reference checking purposes, we will not seek your express consent before checking these references.

    In addition, we will obtain your express written consent for the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information when legally required.. For example, we obtain your express, written consent before conducting a background check on you

    How do we keep your personal information secure?

    We have staff procedures and policies in place to safeguard your personal information, in both paper and electronic format.

    How long do we keep your information?

    Aerotek & TEKsystems relies on the information provided by you, as well as third parties such as those providing references, educational institutions or those conducting background checks. Where we determine that your personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that it is disposed of in a secure manner. Some personal information must be retained for specific periods to comply with various laws.

    Contact us with any questions or concerns.

    Aerotek & TEKsystems takes seriously its responsibility for managing personal information it collects. If you have any concerns about this policy, or feel that Aerotek & TEKsystems is not abiding by it, please write to:
