How does MyCareer Head Hunter address privacy and security?
MyCareer Head Hunter is absolutely committed to protecting the privacy of our users. We take several steps to protect your privacy.
First, we allow you to create an alias to keep your name confidential. When you use an alias, employers will not see your name, email address or phone number until you have released that information to them.
Second, you may mark the names of companies where you worked as ‘confidential.’
Employers using MyCareer Head Hunter cannot search and can only see people who match their job criteria. This provides additional privacy to you. Also, MyCareer Head Hunter does not sell candidate details to any third parties.

You have the ability to control this feature. Only employers can see when candidates are online, candidates do not have the ability to see when employers are online. Only employers can start an IM session with candidates.
