Effective date: September 8, 2026
Atlas Connections respects the privacy of candidates, job seekers, clients, website visitors and other individuals whose information we handle in providing recruiting and talentacquisition services.
Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Atlas Connections, Inc. (“Atlas Connections,” “Atlas,” “we,” “us” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, protects and retains personal information. It applies to our website, recruiting and placement services, communications, candidate relationship activities and related business operations. It does not govern the independent privacy practices of employers, clients, job boards, social networks or other third parties.
Personal Information We Collect
Depending on your relationship with Atlas, we may collect the following categories of information:
- Contact and identifying information, such as name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, account identifiers and preferred method of communication.
- Professional and recruiting information, such as resumes, employment history, education, qualifications, licenses, certifications, skills, professional profiles, work samples and references.
- Job-search and placement information, such as target roles, compensation expectations, work authorization, availability, location and travel preferences, interview availability, application status, feedback and offer-related information.
- Client and business-contact information, such as title, employer, hiring needs, correspondence, agreements and relationship-management records.
- Communications information, such as emails, text messages, call notes and, where enabled and permitted by law, call recordings or transcriptions provided with any required notice or consent.
- Website and device information, such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referring pages and information collected through cookies or similar technologies.
- Compliance and security information needed to prevent fraud, protect our systems, respond to legal requests or meet contractual and legal obligations.
We may receive sensitive information when relevant to a particular recruiting process and permitted by law, including work-authorization or citizenship information, veteran status, disability or accommodation information, demographic information or information needed for a lawful screening process. Please do not provide highly sensitive information unless Atlas or an authorized hiring organization specifically requests it through an appropriate process.
How We Collect Information
We may collect information:
- Directly from you when you contact us, apply for an opportunity, provide a resume, complete an interview, opt in to communications or otherwise work with an Atlas recruiter.
- From professional networking sites, job boards, recruiting platforms, publicly available sources and professional profiles.
- From referrals, references, former employers, clients, prospective employers and service providers, where permitted by law.
- Automatically through our website and business systems, including cookies, analytics and security technologies.
How We Use Personal Information
Atlas may use personal information to:
- Provide recruiting, executive-search, staffing, placement and candidate-care services.
- Evaluate potential alignment between individuals and employment opportunities.
- Communicate about job opportunities, applications, interviews, feedback, offers, placements and related next steps.
- Present a candidate to a prospective employer when the candidate has authorized or reasonably directed Atlas to do so.
- Verify information, coordinate references or facilitate lawful screening processes when applicable.
- Manage client relationships, contracts, invoicing, internal records and business operations.
- Improve our services, technology, website, communications and recruiting processes.
- Protect individuals, Atlas, our clients and our systems; prevent fraud or misuse; and comply with legal and contractual requirements.
Atlas may use technology-assisted tools to organize information, support communications and identify possible candidate-role alignment. Atlas recruiters apply professional judgment, and hiring organizations remain responsible for their own employment decisions.
How We Disclose Personal Information
We may disclose personal information in the following circumstances:
- Hiring organizations and clients. We may share candidate information with a prospective employer when the candidate has authorized the submission or when sharing is otherwise requested and reasonably expected as part of the recruiting process.
- Service providers. We may disclose information to vendors that provide applicant-tracking, customer-relationship management, telecommunications, hosting, analytics, security, documentmanagement, professional or other operational services. They are expected to use information only to perform services for Atlas and to protect it appropriately.
- Professional advisers. We may disclose information to attorneys, accountants, insurers, auditors and other advisers when reasonably necessary.
- Legal, safety and rights protection. We may disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect safety, prevent fraud, enforce agreements or protect legal rights.
- Business transactions. Information may be disclosed in connection with a proposed or completed merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization or sale of business assets, subject to appropriate safeguards.
- At your direction or with your consent. We may disclose information for another purpose that we explain when the information is collected or when you direct us to do so.
Atlas does not sell personal information for money or other valuable consideration. Atlas may receive recruiting or placement fees from clients when a placement occurs; those fees compensate Atlas for recruiting services and are not payment for the sale of an individual’s personal information.

Depending on where you live and subject to applicable law, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of or a copy of certain personal information; to limit or object to certain processing; to opt out of certain sales, targeted advertising or qualifying profiling; and to appeal a decision concerning a privacy request.
