Why we process your personal data
The Ericsson Careers Site is a cloud-based applicant tracking system. Ericsson uses this application globally to manage its recruitment activities. Candidate profiles and job applications including any personal data may be used to pre-screen the candidate for a specific open position, and/or for other job opportunities. To help compare profiles with job opportunities, Ericsson uses a matching algorithm that assesses skills and experience against the job criteria. There is no automated decision making, the application uses AI to facilitate matching, profiling, and rating/ranking the candidate to jobs. The algorithm will provide recommendations based on skills match, location years of experience, and job roles, and a recruiter or a hiring manager can assess all applications to make any decisions related to the hiring process. We may also process the candidate’s personal data to comply with legal requirements. Background checks are performed for positions, but only for candidates who have reached the final stages of the recruitment process.
Following the candidate's consent to the Privacy Notice, they are automatically enrolled in the Ericsson talent network and may, therefore, be added by a recruiter as potential candidates for future or current roles. Upon enrolment, candidates are sent an email with details of how to opt-out should they not wish to be a part of the search for future opportunities. We only use your personal data where necessary for the purposes specified below.
