Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity.

BlueRecruit does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 14.

BlueRecruit requires that all registered users are at least 16 years old and BlueCareer users are at least 14 years old and/or have parental consent.

The Information We Collect

On BlueRecruit, we collect the bare minimum information to get you connected with an employer: your name, location, contact information (email, phone), and your certifications. Our deep pool of employers are looking for great, qualified, motivated candidates and this information helps them learn more about you and contact you.

On BlueCareer, we will collect your email address require a password in order to authenticate your access and display any saved progress or resources upon login.

We also, from time to time, we do transfer anonymized data to schools, libraries, non-profits, for-profits, and state and local governments to help them better understand the employment picture. No personal data will ever be shared unless you have opted into having it shared with an organization.

You can access and update your personal information through your account settings. If you need assistance, please contact us at support@bluerecruit.us.

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. We may also retain and use your data to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

How We Protect your Privacy

We understand that your privacy is paramount, so we design privacy into technology. We use industry-leading technologies and well-respected partners to ensure your data is always protected. We store personal data in encrypted databases and ensure it is encrypted when it is in motion. We employ secure socket layer (SSL) technology to protect your data in transit and standard encryption methods when your data is at rest.

How Employment Data is Shared

At BlueRecruit, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This section explains how we collect, use, and disclose the hiring data provided to us by companies. By using our services at no cost, you consent to the collection and use of your information as described in this policy.

Libraries: Libraries will have access to anonymized and collective data for their library members who have been hired through BlueRecruit. We will provide libraries with information such as the number of people hired collectively by their trade and the average pay given by trade. However, libraries will never be able to see your company name, the job seeker’s name, or your individual company’s job offers. This ensures the privacy and confidentiality of all parties involved.

Non-profits: Similar to libraries, non-profits will have access to anonymized and collective data. However, they may receive more localized information, including pay and trade by zip code. As with libraries, non-profits will not have access to specific company names, job seeker identities, or individual job offers.

Workforce Development Organizations and Schools: Workforce development organizations and schools will be able to view information at the individual job seeker’s level. However, we will not share any of your company’s information unless you provide it to us and the job seeker is hired. If the job seeker has dropped out of your interviewing process and not been hired, your company’s information will never be visible to the organization. Once the job seeker is hired, we will display your company name, pay, the job title of your new hire, the BlueRecruit user, and their contact information that provided the hiring data.

Purpose of Data Sharing: We display this information because any organization that wishes to maintain their accreditation or receive federal funding must track their graduates’ employment history for 1 to 5 years. Schools often spend significant resources to gather this data, and by sharing it with us, you help save them precious dollars that can be reinvested into hiring more instructors and expanding their curriculum. The data you provide will only be shared for internal and accreditation reporting purposes and will never be publicly shared.

Security Measures: We take the security of your data seriously and have implemented measures to protect it from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. We use industry-standard encryption technologies to safeguard your information during transmission and storage.
