Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1/1/26

Who we are

Byld Recruit (ABN 23 754 383 282) is a specialist recruitment business operating in Victoria's residential construction industry. This policy explains how we collect, use, store and disclose personal information, and applies to candidates, clients, and visitors to this website.

Byld Recruit currently operates under the annual turnover threshold that exempts small businesses from the Australian Privacy Act 1988. We've chosen to follow the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) as best practice regardless, because that's the standard our candidates and clients should expect from us.

What we collect

If you're a candidate registering with us, we may collect:

• Your name, phone number and email address
• Your trade or role, years of experience, and availability
• Your CV or resume, and any covering information you provide
• Notes from our conversations with you about the type of work, roles and pay you're after

If you're a business enquiring about our services, we may collect your name, company name, phone number, email address, and details about the roles you're hiring for.

We only collect what we reasonably need to provide our recruitment services. We don't ask for sensitive information (such as health or criminal history) unless it's directly relevant to a specific role and you've given us that information voluntarily.

Why we collect it

We use your information to:

• Assess your suitability for roles and match you to relevant opportunities
• Put you forward to a specific employer, with your knowledge
• Respond to business enquiries about our recruitment services
• Communicate with you about your registration, application, or enquiry
• Improve how we run Byld Recruit
• Meet our legal and accounting obligations

Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share a candidate's details with a specific employer without that candidate's knowledge. Beyond that, we may disclose information to:

• The specific employer or business you're being put forward for
• Trusted service providers that help us run Byld Recruit, including our email provider (Google Workspace)
• Government or regulatory bodies where we're required to by law

How long we keep it

We keep candidate information for as long as we may reasonably be able to help you find work, currently 3 years from our last meaningful contact with you (an application, a conversation, or being put forward for a role). After that, we securely delete it unless you've asked us to keep it for longer, or we're required to retain it for legal reasons.

We keep business and client records for 3 years to meet our standard record-keeping and accounting obligations.

You can ask us to delete your information at any time. See "Your rights" below.

How we protect it

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, or disclosure. No system connected to the internet can be guaranteed completely secure, but we take this seriously.

Your rights

You can ask us to:

• Tell you what personal information we hold about you
• Correct any information that's wrong or out of date
• Delete your information from our records
• Stop contacting you about roles or opportunities

To do any of this, or if you have a concern about how we've handled your personal information, contact us at hello@byldrecruit.com.au. We'll respond within a reasonable time.

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last changed.
