How we use your data

Care Best Initiative collects the information in your application to assess you for the role you applied for. This covers your contact details, your CV, your answers and any assessment results.

Who can see it

Only the hiring team, and the hiring company when the role is for one of our clients. Your CV is encrypted when stored, and we keep a record of who has accessed or changed your application.

How decisions are made

Assessments are marked against a fixed answer key, and written answers are read by a person. People make every hiring decision. We do not reject candidates automatically.

How AI is used

AI tools from Anthropic may help staff prioritise applications, prepare interview questions and suggest marks for written answers. Applicant screening does not use your name, contact details or gender. A person reviews every suggestion, and AI never makes a decision about you.

During assessments

We record events such as leaving the exam window, blocked actions, typing activity and the IP address you started from, so reviewers can judge whether a result is reliable. Written answers may be compared across candidates. Some exams ask you to keep your camera on. The picture is shown only on your own screen, and is not recorded or sent to us. We record only whether the camera was on. We never use your microphone.

How long we keep it

Up to 365 days after the hiring process ends, and then it is deleted.
