Consent: We may ask you for your consent to process your personal data. You can withdraw your consent at any time, which will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before your consent was withdrawn.

If we transfer personal data from the EEA, Switzerland, or United Kingdom to a country outside it, such as the United States, we will enter into EU standard contractual clauses with the data importer, or take other measures to provide an adequate level of data protection.

4C Med uses automated decision-making to filter Candidates based on responses to our application questions. When certain criteria is met regarding visa sponsorship, work permits, hiring geography, and other employment restrictions, our software will reject your application. This is because 4C Med, for business or legal reasons, may choose not to hire or sponsor workers. We will continually update which responses will result in a rejection of your application as our business and legal requirements change. Once rejected, your application will not move forward in our recruitment process.
Our use of automated decision-making enables us to enter into an employment contract with the selected Candidate by providing a manageable list of possible candidates. If you object to our use of automated decision-making for the reasons stated above, please contact us at careers@4cmed.com to request a separate review of your application by one of our trained recruitment specialists. After this separate review, we will contact you with an explanation of our decision.
Policy Changes
4C Med may change this Recruitment Privacy Policy from time to time. If we decide to make a significant change to this policy, we will post a notice of the update on this site. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information.
