PRIVACY NOTICE

Last updated: August 1, 2026

This Privacy Notice explains how Rosso Recruiting, LLC ("Rosso Recruiting," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information — both through our website at http://www.rossorecruiting.com and, more significantly, through our recruiting and staffing services.

We work with two groups of people, and this notice covers both:

  • Candidates — individuals we source, screen, present to employers, or place in roles.
  • Client contacts — individuals at companies that engage us to fill positions.

Rosso Recruiting places candidates directly with client employers. We are not your employer, we do not payroll candidates, and we do not administer employment, benefits, or onboarding. Placed candidates go onto the client employer's payroll and complete that employer's paperwork directly with them.

Questions? Contact us at info@rossorecruiting.com or (888) 481-4009.

1. WHAT OUR WEBSITE COLLECTS

Our website has no application form, resume upload, or account login. We do not collect personal information through forms on this site.

Scheduling. Our website links to a third-party scheduling tool so prospective clients can book a call. Information you enter there — typically name, email, and meeting details — is collected by that provider under its own privacy policy. We receive the booking details.

Automatic collection. When you visit our site, standard technical information is collected: IP address, browser type, device type and operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, and date/time stamps. This is used for site security, performance, and basic traffic analytics. See Section 10.

Nearly all personal information we hold is collected through the recruiting process described below, not through this website.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT AS A RECRUITER

Information you give us

  • Name, email address, phone number, and mailing address or general location
  • Job title, employer, and work history
  • Resume or work summary
  • Licenses, certifications, and trade credentials
  • Compensation expectations and availability
  • Work authorization status
  • References
  • Contact and communication preferences
  • Anything you volunteer during a screening call, interview, text exchange, or email

Resumes you submit to us

If you submit a resume through our applicant tracking system, a job board, or by email, that information goes into our candidate database.

  • We use a third-party applicant tracking system to store and manage candidate records. That provider processes information on our behalf under contract and does not use it for its own purposes.
  • Submitting a resume does not create an application to a specific employer. It makes you a candidate in our database, and we may contact you about roles you did not specifically apply for.
  • We will not share your resume or identify you to any employer until you have expressed interest in a specific opportunity.
  • We may contact you by phone, text, or email about opportunities. You can opt out at any time.
  • Your record is kept under the retention schedule in Section 11, and you can ask us to delete it at any point.

Information we collect from other sources

We do receive personal information from third parties. This is a normal and necessary part of recruiting. Sources include:

  • Job boards and resume databases, including candidate profiles and applications
  • Professional and contact-data services used to identify and reach qualified candidates
  • Public sources, including public professional profiles, licensing registries, and publicly available contact information
  • Referrals from other candidates, clients, or industry contacts
  • Client employers, when they share information about a role, a candidate, or an interview

Information included on resumes and profiles

Resumes and candidate profiles sometimes contain more information than we ask for. Depending on how a resume is written, it may include a home address, a photograph, date of birth, marital status, nationality, or other personal details.

We do not request any of this, and we do not use it to evaluate candidates.

  • Photographs. We do not use photographs in evaluating candidates, and we remove them from materials we present to client employers.
  • Home addresses. We use location only to match candidates to roles by commute distance, job site, or service territory.
  • Other unsolicited details. Information such as date of birth, marital status, or nationality plays no part in whether a candidate is presented for a role. We disregard it, and we remove it from materials we send to clients where practical.

If you would rather not have this information on file, send us a resume without it, or contact us and we will remove it.

Recorded interactions

Phone calls, automated screening calls, and video interviews may be recorded. See Section 3.

What we do not collect

We do not ask for, require, or knowingly collect the following, and where it reaches us unsolicited, we do not use it:

  • Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, or copies of identity documents
  • Financial account, banking, or payment information from candidates
  • Tax or payroll information
  • Medical records, drug screen results, or physical exam results
  • Biometric identifiers, including fingerprints and voiceprints
  • Precise geolocation
  • Demographic information such as race, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation — we never request it and never consider it

Where a background check or onboarding step requires any of the above, that information goes directly to the screening provider or to the client employer, not to us. See Sections 6 and 7.

Sensitive information

The one category we handle that some state laws treat as sensitive is work authorization or immigration status, which employers require for lawful hiring. We collect it only where necessary to evaluate a candidate for a role, use it for no other purpose, and never sell it.

3. RECORDING, VIDEO INTERVIEWS, AND AI-ASSISTED SCREENING

Recording

You should assume that all interactions with Rosso Recruiting are recorded. This includes phone calls, automated screening calls, video interviews, and voicemail. Text and email exchanges are retained as records. You will be notified at the start of any recorded call or interview, and you may decline to continue.

Video interviews

We conduct video interviews with candidates, both for our own screening and on behalf of client employers. These interviews are conducted by a person. They may be recorded, and a recording may be shared with the client employer for the role you are being considered for.

We do not use artificial intelligence to analyze video interviews. We do not analyze facial expressions, body language, eye movement, tone of voice, or personality traits, and we do not use any automated system to score or evaluate video of candidates. Video interviews are reviewed by people.

AI-assisted screening

We use an automated voice agent to assist with initial candidate screening by phone.

What this means in practice:

  • An automated voice agent may conduct an initial screening conversation with you by phone. That call is recorded and transcribed.
  • The agent collects and summarizes job-relevant information: experience, certifications, licenses, availability, location, compensation expectations, and similar qualifications.
  • The automated agent does not reject, decline, disqualify, or screen out any candidate. It has no authority to do so under any circumstances. Its only function is to gather and summarize information.
  • If a call ends early — for example, if it becomes abusive — the agent records that the conversation was not completed and passes along whatever information was gathered. That is a factual note in the file, not a decision about your candidacy.
  • Every candidate file is reviewed by a human recruiter. All decisions about whether a candidate is presented to a client are made by a person.
  • Final hiring decisions are made by the client employer, not by us and not by any automated system.
  • We do not use zip code, or any proxy for a protected characteristic, as a screening criterion.

You may request that your screening be conducted entirely by a human recruiter at any time, at no disadvantage to your candidacy. Contact us at info@rossorecruiting.com or (888) 481-4009.

4. HOW WE USE INFORMATION

We use personal information to:

  • Identify, contact, and evaluate candidates for open roles
  • Present qualified candidates to client employers
  • Coordinate interviews, offers, and the transition to a client's onboarding process
  • Communicate with candidates about current and future opportunities
  • Provide recruiting services to, and communicate with, our clients
  • Respond to inquiries and provide support
  • Operate, secure, analyze, and improve our website and services
  • Send business development and marketing communications, consistent with your preferences and applicable law
  • Comply with legal obligations and establish, exercise, or defend legal claims

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

5. HOW WE PRESENT CANDIDATES TO CLIENTS

We often reformat or rewrite a candidate's resume before presenting it to a client employer — to standardize the layout, clarify job titles and dates, highlight relevant certifications, and remove information the employer should not consider.

We do not alter or embellish the substance of a candidate's background. Reformatting changes presentation, not facts. Work history, dates, certifications, and qualifications are presented as the candidate reported them. We retain the original document you provided.

In some cases we present a resume substantially as we received it. In all cases, photographs and unsolicited personal details are removed before submittal.

If you'd like to review how your background is being presented, ask us and we'll send you the version we're submitting.

6. WHO WE SHARE INFORMATION WITH

Client employers. This is the core of what we do. When we present you as a candidate, we share your qualifications, work history, and relevant screening information with the hiring employer. We identify you to a client only after you have expressed interest in a specific opportunity. Once shared, that employer handles your information under its own privacy practices, which we do not control.

Service providers. We use vendors who process information on our behalf under contract, and only to perform services for us. Categories include:

  • Applicant tracking and CRM systems
  • Voice screening and transcription services
  • Communication platforms
  • Background check providers, where applicable (see Section 7)
  • Cloud hosting and data storage
  • Website hosting, scheduling, and analytics
  • Accounting, invoicing, and payment processing

Legal and safety. We may disclose information where required by law, subpoena, or legal process, or where necessary to protect our rights, our clients, or the safety of any person.

Business transfers. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

We do not share candidate information with ad networks, data brokers, retargeting platforms, or affiliate marketing programs.

7. BACKGROUND CHECKS, DRUG SCREENS, AND PHYSICALS

Background checks

Background checks are part of the client employer's hiring process. Rosso Recruiting does not run background checks as a standard part of screening.

In some cases, a client asks us to arrange one on its behalf. When that happens:

  • We use Checkr, Inc., a consumer reporting agency, to conduct the check.
  • Before any check is run, you receive a separate written disclosure and are asked to provide written authorization, as required by the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and applicable state law.
  • That disclosure and authorization process is handled directly through Checkr. Any identifiers required to run the check — including your Social Security number and date of birth — go to Checkr, not to us.
  • No background check is ever run without your prior written authorization.
  • You have rights under the FCRA, including the right to know what is in your file, to dispute inaccurate information, and to receive a copy of any report obtained about you. These are described in the "Summary of Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act," provided as part of the disclosure process.
  • If a report contributes to a decision not to move forward, you will receive the pre-adverse and adverse action notices required by law.

Checkr handles the information it collects under its own privacy policy.

Drug screens and physicals

Where a role requires a drug screen, physical, or similar examination, we may help coordinate scheduling between you and the testing provider or client employer.

We do not receive, review, or store the results. Results go directly from the provider to the client employer. Questions or disputes about a result should be directed to the testing provider or the employer.

8. TEXT MESSAGING

If you provide a mobile number, or we obtain one in the course of sourcing, we may contact you by text about opportunities, scheduling, and related logistics.

  • Reply STOP to any message to opt out. Reply HELP for assistance.
  • Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies.
  • Opting out of texts does not affect your candidacy; we will use phone or email instead.
  • We do not share or sell mobile numbers to third parties for their own marketing.

9. HOW WE PROTECT INFORMATION

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, including access controls, encrypted transmission, and vendor contracts requiring confidentiality. We also limit exposure by design: we do not collect Social Security numbers, financial information, or medical results, so that data is not sitting in our systems to be lost.

No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized parties will never defeat our safeguards. Transmission of information to and from us is at your own risk.

10. COOKIES AND TRACKING

What cookies are. Cookies are small data files placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies set by us are "first-party" cookies. Cookies set by other companies whose tools appear on our site are "third-party" cookies.

How we use them. Our website is an informational site, and we use cookies for a limited set of purposes:

  • Essential cookies — required for the site to load, function, and remain secure.
  • Analytics cookies — we use Google Analytics to understand general traffic patterns: which pages get viewed, how visitors arrive, whether something is broken.
  • Third-party scheduling — our scheduling provider sets its own cookies under its own policy.

We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies, and we do not serve targeted advertising on this site. We do not allow third parties to collect information here for their own advertising purposes.

Controlling cookies. Most browsers accept cookies by default. You can set your browser to remove or reject them through its settings — every major browser has a help section explaining how. Rejecting non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using this site.

Similar technologies. We may use pixels or similar technologies to measure whether emails we send are opened and whether links are clicked. The same browser controls apply.

Do-Not-Track. Because there is no uniform standard for Do-Not-Track signals, we do not currently respond to DNT browser settings. Where required by applicable law, we honor recognized universal opt-out preference signals.

11. HOW LONG WE KEEP INFORMATION

We keep candidate information for as long as needed to provide recruiting services and to consider you for future opportunities — generally up to five (5) years after your last interaction with us — unless you ask us to delete it sooner, or a longer period is required by law.

Client contact and engagement records are kept for the duration of the relationship and as long as required for contractual, tax, and legal purposes.

Recordings and transcripts are retained under the same five-year schedule, or deleted sooner where our provider's retention settings or a deletion request require it.

When we no longer have a legitimate need for information, we delete or anonymize it, or securely isolate it from further processing where deletion is not immediately possible (for example, in backups).

12. YOUR CHOICES AND RIGHTS

Regardless of where you live, you may:

  • Access — ask what personal information we hold about you
  • Correct — ask us to fix inaccurate or outdated information
  • Delete — ask us to remove you from our database
  • Withdraw from consideration — ask us to stop presenting you to employers
  • Opt out of marketing — unsubscribe from emails, or reply STOP to texts
  • Request human-only screening — ask that your screening be handled by a person rather than the automated agent
  • Review your submittal — ask to see how your background is being presented to a client

Depending on your state of residence, you may have additional rights under state privacy law, including portability, the right to limit use of sensitive information, and the right to opt out of sale or targeted advertising. We do not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any privacy right.

To exercise any of these: email info@rossorecruiting.com or call (888) 481-4009. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. We may need to verify your identity first, and will use anything you provide for verification only for that purpose.

Once we have presented you to a client employer, that employer holds its own copy of your information under its own policies — you'll need to contact them directly about their records. The same applies to background check reports (held by the client and Checkr) and to any test results (held by the provider and the client).

California residents: Under California Civil Code § 1798.83 ("Shine the Light"), you may request information about personal information we disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose personal information for that purpose.

Outside the United States: Our services are directed to the U.S. market and information is processed in the United States.

13. CHILDREN

Our services are for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn we have, we will delete it. Contact info@rossorecruiting.com if you believe this has occurred.

14. CHANGES TO THIS NOTICE

We may update this notice. The "Last updated" date reflects the most recent version, and changes take effect when posted. If we make material changes, we will post a prominent notice or contact you directly.
