3. Categories of personal data We collect

As a matter of principle, there are two situations in which We process your personal data.

a) When you approach us

We receive your personal data from you when you make such data available to us in the form of your application documents. This can be done by e-mail or post as well as via our website (direct or unsolicited application).

As part of our service, We, therefore, generally collect and process the data that you make available to us.

b) When We approach you

In the course of our recruitment activities, which are a significant part of our work, We identify personal data, e.g. via professional networks (including Xing, LinkedIn) or based on research, e.g. on the website of your current employer. This means that We may collect your name, current position and current employer as well as your professional contact details and store such data temporarily. Please note that information you disclose on professional networks is publicly visible.

c) Further information

If you enter into an employment relationship with us, we may collect further personal data that is relevant for the fulfilment of the contractual activity. This will then be done in accordance with our employee information on data processing, which you will receive.

4. Special categories of personal data

Certain personal data, namely data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, as well as the processing of genetic data, biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data pertaining to health matters or data concerning a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation are particularly protected.

a) When you approach us

We do not request such data in your (online) application, but you are free to make such data available. The consent you grant us expressly includes the processing of any special categories of personal data made available in your application documents.

b) When We approach you

We shall not search for and/or process special categories of personal data at any time.

5. Purposes and legal bases

Our activities are based on a contract entered into us and our clients to find and place a suitable candidate for vacancies there. As part of this activity, We process your data as a potential candidate.

a) When you approach us

We process the data you make available in direct or unsolicited applications via our website and/or the application documents you submit to us for the purpose of presenting you as a candidate with interesting job offers from our clients and, if possible, placing you with a suitable employer or client. To honour this purpose, We process your data, in particular, as follows:

A Comanos consultant shall contact you by phone (call, SMS or WhatsApp Business) or e-mail to engage in a detailed conversation with you.
The information you make available during the conversation shall be taken into account for the selection of suitable job offers and matched against these for consistency with these.
In the event of a suitable job offer, and once We have consulted you, We shall forward your application documents to potential employers or clients.
To support and conduct an application process with a potential employer or client.
To forward your data to our subsidiaries, Comanos Freelance GmbH and Comanos Executive GmbH, as well as our affiliated company Cobalt Deutschland GmbH (cobaltrecruitment.de) and it`s subsidiaries.

We are looking for candidates for our clients in the field of “Temporary employment.” By contrast, our subsidiary Comanos Freelance GmbH places job offers in the “Interim” sector, while our subsidiary Comanos Executive GmbH places candidates in the “Permanent employment” sector. Cobalt Deutschland GmbH operates as a recruitment consultancy in the construction and real estate industry and places job offers in the areas of "permanent employment" (Cobalt Deutschland GmbH), "Interim" (Concord Cobalt Recruitment GmbH) and "Temporary employment" (Cobalt Temporary Solutions GmbH).

To present you with potential offers in these additional areas, We also forward your application data to these subsidiaries or affiliate companies, which process the data for the aforementioned purposes and may contact you. We shall separately request your consent to include your data in the database of our affiliated companies.

The Data Protection Notices of these companies, which you can find here [Comanos Freelance GmbH; Comanos Executive GmbH; Cobalt Deutschland GmbH; Concord Cobalt Recruitment GmbH] apply to the data processing there.

The above processing of your data, including the forwarding of data to the subsidiaries and affiliated companies and the processing there, applies on the legal basis of Article 6(1), Sentence 1, Point a, GDPR (Consent).

Insofar as you may have sent us special categories of personal data as part of your application documents, the processing of such data is similarly based on your consent in accordance with Article 6(1), Sentence 1, Point a, in conjunction with Article 9(2), Point a, GDPR.

Your data are rendered anonymous for the purpose of statistical evaluations based on Article 6(1), Sentence 1, Point f. GDPR (Balancing of interests), whereby our interest lies in continually improving our services and candidate satisfaction. Any special categories of personal data sent to us by you shall, of course, not be used for this purpose.

b) When We approach you

Your data are accessed and processed in the course of our recruitment and research activities as described in section 3b for the purpose of presenting you with interesting job offers from our customers and, if possible, placing you with a suitable employer or client. To honour this purpose, We process your data, in particular, as follows:

A Comanos consultant identifies your name, current position and current employer as well as your professional contact details and
contacts you by telephone or message via professional networks to briefly outline the position and arrange a detailed interview.
Should you be interested, you shall receive an e-mail with the consultant’s contact details, the position description and a request for your consent to data processing.

The above processing of your data applies exclusively to publicly available information.

We shall ask about your interest as part of the initial contact with you. If there is no such interest, We shall make a note of this and erase your data immediately. If you are interested, We shall send you an e-mail after contacting you with the option of consenting to the further processing of your data for the purpose of mediation. Unfortunately, We cannot take action without such consent.

The legal basis for the above data processing is Article 6(1), Sentence 1, Point f, GDPR (Balancing of interests). Our interest is to find suitable candidates for existing positions with our clients and to send them the most suitable job offers possible.

In the event that consent is granted, the further handling of your data shall be based on section 5. a) above.

c) For both cases

In the event of successful placement, We also require your data (name, position, salary, start of employment, but no other application data) for the purpose of invoicing our services to our customers. The legal basis in this respect is Article 6(1), Sentence 1, point f, GDPR (balancing of interests). We have an interest in properly invoicing our services.

1. Use of Cookies

We use Cookies on our website to personalise content and advertisements, offer functions for social media and analyse access to our website. Cookies make it possible to provide a user-friendly service that would not be possible without them.

Cookies are small data records that are stored on a computer system (computer, tablet computer or smartphone) via an internet browser and stored for subsequent retrieval.

The setting of Cookies without consent is only permitted by law if they are technically absolutely necessary for a service expressly requested by the site visitor. This means that Cookies categorised as necessary/essential are processed based on Article 6 (1), GDPR. We require your consent (Article 6(1), Point a, GDPR) for all other Cookies.

Please note that some Cookies are set by third party providers.

a) Used Cookies

When you visit our website for the first time, our Cookie banner (Cookiebot by Usercentrics) shows you the Cookies used, divided into different categories - necessary, preferences, statistics, marketing and unclassified.

Necessary Cookies are those that are absolutely essential. In that respect, these help make our website usable by enabling basic functions such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these Cookies. We do not require consent for the use of these strictly necessary Cookies.

Preference Cookies enable a website to remember information that changes the way a website behaves or looks, such as your preferred language or the region that you are in. You can consent to these Cookies via our cookie banner or decline their activation.

Statistics Cookies help website owners understand how visitors interact with websites by collecting and reporting information anonymously. You can opt-in or opt-out of these Cookies via our cookie banner.

Each individual Cookie is labelled with its name, provider, purpose, expiry and type.

2. Use of third party tools and social plug-ins

Our website uses social plug-ins from social/professional networks (marked with the corresponding logo) from the service providers stated below as well as other third party tools. We have carefully selected third party providers in accordance with the GDPR provisions. Where necessary, We have entered into order processing contracts.

Plug-ins may be used to send information, which may also include personal data, to the respective third party service provider and may be used by them. We prevent the unconscious and unwanted collection and forwarding of data to the service provider by way of a 2-click solution. To activate a desired social plug-in, it must first be activated by clicking on the corresponding button. Such activation is required to trigger the potential collection of information and forwarding it to the service provider. We do not collect any personal data ourselves by way of the social plug-ins or via their use.

If you are a member of one of the stated networks and are logged in there while visiting our website, the corresponding service provider shall assign such information to your personal user account. When you interact with one of the plug-ins, e.g. by clicking on one of the buttons, such information is forwarded directly to the respective service provider via your browser and stored there in your respective personal user account. The information you share from our website is forwarded to the respective service provider.

We do not exert any influence on the data that are collected by an activated plug-in and how such data are used by the service provider. At present, it must be assumed that a direct connection to the provider’s services is established and that at least the IP address and device-related information are collected and used. Similarly, the service providers can attempt to store Cookies on the used computer. Please see the data protection information of the respective service provider to find out the specific data that are collected and how they are used.
