Protecting your privacy and the confidentiality of your information over the internet, by telephone, or through our office is fundamental to the way we do business at Squamish Personnel Solutions (SPS).   Our Privacy Policy and related procedures that guide the handling of the personal information we collect is as follows:

Personal Information

SPS collects information from candidates through our Application Form. These personal details are required to provide you with the best possible service in your job search. SPS never collects more personal information than is needed to fulfill these purposes, unless requested by the client and consented to by the job seeker. Your file may contain the following personal information.

  • Contact information including name, telephone address & email information.
  • Our interview notes.
  • Information obtained through reference and background checks.
  • Educational records.
  • Reference letters.
  • Skill testing results.

Resumes and Applications

Since www.squamish-jobs.com is a staffing site, you may send us your resume. Resume and application information may be stored on the site and digitally in our secured database. Only SPS employees access your personal information and are fully aware of SPS’ privacy policies. SPS does not sell this information to any group or company outside of SPS.  It can, however, with your permission, share applicant information with a third party at SPS’ sole discretion if you are responding to a job posting. We do not send your resume to any party without your consent to do so.

Your Consent

Effective January 1, 2004, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act requires that individuals provide consent to the ongoing use of their personal information. Our Application Form contains a Consent option and must be checked in the affirmative in order to for us to save your information and represent you.  We imply this provides permission to use your personal information for purposes that are obvious to you. For example, if you list references on your resume, we will not seek additional permission before checking with these individuals.

We retain your information as long as we are offering placement services to you, or longer if required by law. For permanent placements and temporary employees, we retain your information for seven years after you accept a  position.
