AgHires Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 15, 2026

AgHires, a division of Agprovise, LLC ("AgHires," "we," "our," or "us"), respects the privacy of job seekers, candidates, employers, customers, website visitors, subscribers, contacts, and other users of our websites, job board platform, recruiting services, communications, and related offerings.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect information. It also explains choices and rights that may be available to you under applicable privacy laws. By using our websites, creating an account, submitting information, applying to a job, posting a job, purchasing services, communicating with us, or otherwise using the Services, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy.

This Policy is designed to cover both our public website and job board activities, including job postings, resume profiles, candidate applications, employer accounts, candidate sourcing, outreach, recruiting support, executive search, talent mapping, marketing, analytics, and related services.

1. Scope of this Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through or in connection with AgHires websites, including aghires.com, related landing pages, the AgHires job board, employer and job seeker accounts, online forms, job alerts, resume submissions, job applications, candidate sourcing activities, recruiting communications, marketing campaigns, customer support, employer services, and any other services that link to this Policy (collectively, the "Services").

This Policy does not apply to third-party websites, employer career sites, applicant tracking systems, assessment tools, background check providers, payment processors, social media platforms, or other third-party services that we do not control, even if they are linked from our Services. Those third parties are responsible for their own privacy practices.

Some AgHires recruiting, executive search, consulting, sourcing, placement, or other professional services may also be governed by separate written agreements. If a separate agreement addresses privacy, confidentiality, data processing, or related matters and conflicts with this Policy, the separate agreement will control for that engagement to the extent of the conflict.

6. Candidate and Job Seeker Information

Candidates and job seekers may use AgHires to search jobs, create accounts, submit resumes, save jobs, apply to positions, receive job alerts, communicate with employers, respond to sourcing outreach, participate in recruiting processes, and interact with AgHires recruiters or employer customers.

6.1 Resume posting, profiles, and searchable databases

If you post a resume, create a profile, or otherwise make candidate information available through the Services, your information may be used to create or update an account, populate a candidate profile, support job matching, and make you visible for employment opportunities. Depending on product settings and available services, resumes or profiles may be searchable or accessible by authorized employers, recruiters, AgHires personnel, or service providers.

If an employer, recruiter, or other authorized party receives or downloads your resume, application, profile, contact details, or other Candidate Information, that party may retain a copy in its own systems. AgHires cannot control the retention, use, security, or privacy practices of employers or other third parties after they receive information from or about you. Do not include information in your resume or profile that you would not want shared with prospective employers or other authorized recruiting contacts.

6.2 Applications

When you apply to a position through AgHires, we may share your resume, application answers, cover letter, profile information, contact information, communications, and related application materials with the employer that posted the opportunity and with service providers that support the application process. Employers are independently responsible for their hiring decisions and for how they handle candidate information they receive.

6.3 Talent pools and future opportunities

AgHires maintains candidate databases, talent pools, resumes, profiles, applications, recruiting notes, sourcing records, and communication histories. We may retain and use this information to identify future opportunities, conduct sourcing, support recruiting engagements, contact candidates, provide employer services, improve matching, develop new products, and maintain historical business records.

6.4 Candidate sourcing and outreach

AgHires may contact candidates about opportunities they have not specifically applied for. Sourcing and outreach may be conducted by email, telephone, text message, platform message, social media, professional network message, mail, or other permitted channels. Where required, we will honor applicable opt-out, unsubscribe, and consent requirements.

6.5 Candidate safety

AgHires will not ask you to provide a Social Security number, bank account number, credit card number, or payment to a prospective employer through the general job board application process. Be cautious of requests to send money, purchase equipment, share financial account details, provide non-work-related sensitive personal information, or communicate only through suspicious channels. Report suspicious job postings or employer communications to AgHires.

7. Employer and Customer Information

Employers may create accounts, post jobs, purchase job postings, subscriptions, employer branding, sourcing, applicant generation, recruiting support, executive search, or related services. We collect information needed to provide these services, manage customer relationships, process transactions, support recruiting activity, improve products, and comply with legal and contractual obligations.

Employers are responsible for ensuring that job postings, hiring criteria, screening questions, compensation disclosures, application requirements, communications, and hiring practices comply with applicable employment, labor, privacy, communications, pay transparency, anti-discrimination, immigration, recordkeeping, and related laws.

Employers may use Candidate Information received through AgHires only for legitimate employment, recruiting, hiring, evaluation, and related business purposes, and must not misuse, sell, scrape, redistribute, resell, or unlawfully disclose Candidate Information.

8. Communications, Email, and SMS

AgHires may send service-related and transactional communications, such as account notices, security alerts, application confirmations, job alerts, employer inquiries, service updates, invoices, administrative messages, and recruiting communications. These communications may be necessary to provide the Services, and you may not be able to opt out of all service-related communications while maintaining an active account or using certain Services.

Where permitted by law, AgHires may also send marketing or promotional communications, including newsletters, hiring resources, event invitations, featured jobs, recruiting outreach, employer services, advertising offers, and educational content. You may opt out of marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link or instructions included in the message or by contacting us.

If you provide a mobile number, you consent to receive service-related, recruiting-related, support-related, and, where permitted, marketing text messages from AgHires or service providers acting on our behalf. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency may vary. You may opt out of marketing or automated text messages by following instructions in the message, such as replying STOP, where available. Consent to marketing text messages is not required as a condition of purchasing services or applying to jobs, unless a specific communication program says otherwise.

9. Cookies, Analytics, Advertising, and Similar Technologies

AgHires uses cookies, pixels, web beacons, tags, local storage, analytics technologies, advertising technologies, and similar tools to operate the Services, remember preferences, keep accounts secure, measure traffic, understand usage, personalize content, recommend jobs, measure conversions, and support advertising and remarketing.

9.1 Types of technologies we use

• Essential technologies that support login, authentication, security, account functionality, forms, and core website operations.
• Preference technologies that remember settings, saved searches, viewed jobs, and other choices.
• Analytics and performance technologies that help us understand traffic, usage, conversions, page performance, campaign results, and service improvements.
• Advertising and remarketing technologies that help us deliver, measure, personalize, and improve advertisements across AgHires and third-party platforms.

9.2 Third-party analytics and advertising providers

We may use Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn tools, CRM and marketing automation tools, email analytics, advertising platforms, and similar providers. These providers may collect or receive information about your use of our websites and other online services over time and across different websites, apps, and devices. They may use this information according to their own privacy policies.

9.3 Cookie choices

You can often control cookies through browser settings, device settings, advertising industry opt-out tools, and provider-specific opt-out tools. If AgHires offers a cookie preference tool or privacy choices link, you may use it to manage certain categories of cookies or targeted advertising. Blocking cookies may affect website functionality, account access, saved preferences, job recommendations, application processes, analytics accuracy, or other features.

9.4 Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers or extensions offer "Do Not Track" or similar signals. There is not a uniform industry standard for all such signals. Where required by applicable law, we will process legally recognized browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, as an opt-out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising for the browser or device sending the signal.

10. Artificial Intelligence and Automated Processing

AgHires may use artificial intelligence, machine learning, automation, resume parsing, candidate matching, recommendation engines, search ranking, sourcing tools, job description tools, marketing content tools, analytics tools, and similar technologies to support and improve the Services.

Examples may include parsing resumes, extracting skills, matching candidates to opportunities, recommending jobs, supporting recruiter workflows, identifying potential candidates, ranking or filtering search results, generating job description drafts, improving outreach, measuring campaign effectiveness, detecting misuse, and analyzing platform performance.

AI and automated tools may assist AgHires personnel, employers, and service providers, but they may not fully replace human review. AgHires does not guarantee that automated recommendations, matches, rankings, or generated content will be accurate, complete, unbiased, lawful for a particular employer use, or appropriate for every hiring decision. Employers remain responsible for reviewing and approving job content, screening criteria, candidate evaluations, pay transparency disclosures, hiring decisions, and employment actions.

If applicable law gives you rights regarding automated decision-making, profiling, or AI-assisted processing, you may contact us using the information below. We may ask for information necessary to verify your request and determine which rights apply.

11. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose information as described below and as otherwise disclosed at the time of collection.

• Employers and hiring contacts. We may disclose Candidate Information to employers, recruiters, hiring managers, agencies, or employer representatives in connection with applications, resume access, sourcing, recruiting services, candidate outreach, applicant management, or legitimate employment opportunities.
• Candidates and job seekers. We may disclose employer information, job posting content, hiring contact information, communications, and related materials to candidates or job seekers as part of the recruiting and application process.
• Service providers and vendors. We may disclose information to providers that support hosting, cloud storage, job board technology, CRM, applicant tracking, email, SMS, analytics, advertising, payment processing, security, fraud prevention, customer support, communication tools, data enrichment, recruiting technology, background check coordination, and other business operations.
• Advertising and analytics partners. We may disclose or make available certain device, usage, cookie, advertising, and conversion information to analytics and advertising partners to measure performance, deliver relevant advertising, support remarketing, and improve campaigns.

• Business transactions. We may disclose or transfer information in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, asset sale, bankruptcy, due diligence, change of control, or similar corporate transaction.
• With consent or direction. We may disclose information when you consent, direct us to do so, or intentionally use the Services to share information with others.

12. Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising

AgHires does not sell Personal Information for money. However, some privacy laws define "sale," "sharing," or "targeted advertising" broadly enough to include certain disclosures or making available of cookie identifiers, device information, usage data, advertising identifiers, or similar information to advertising and analytics partners. To the extent our use of advertising or analytics technologies is considered a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under applicable law, you may opt out as described in this Policy.

You may submit an opt-out request by contacting us at info@aghires.com, calling 844-244-4737, using any privacy choices or cookie preference tool made available on our website, or using a legally recognized opt-out preference signal where required by applicable law. We may need to verify or clarify certain requests depending on the nature of the request and the law that applies.

We do not knowingly sell or share Personal Information of individuals under 16 years of age.

13. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide Services, maintain accounts, support job applications, maintain talent pools, conduct recruiting and sourcing, serve employer customers, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, maintain business records, protect security, prevent fraud, improve Services, and support historical reporting.

Candidate records, resumes, applications, profiles, communications, sourcing records, talent pool entries, employer records, invoices, transaction records, analytics records, logs, backups, and other business records may be retained for extended periods, including after an account is closed or a candidate is not selected for a position. We may retain information in archived or backup systems until it is deleted in the ordinary course of business.

If you request deletion, we will process the request in accordance with applicable law. We may retain information where permitted or required by law, including information needed for legal compliance, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, security, business records, employer services, recruiting records, backup systems, or legitimate business purposes. Employers and other third parties may retain their own copies of information that they previously received.

14. Account Deletion, Resume Removal, and Privacy Requests

You may request account deletion, resume removal from searchable databases, correction of inaccurate information, access to information, or other privacy rights by contacting AgHires using the contact information below. We may ask you to verify your identity, provide additional information, or confirm the scope of your request.

If you remove a resume from a searchable database or request that we deactivate an account, this may reduce visibility to employers or affect your ability to use certain Services. Removing a resume from AgHires does not require employers, recruiters, or third parties that previously accessed, downloaded, or received your resume, application, profile, or communications to delete their own copies.

We generally seek to acknowledge privacy requests within 10 business days and respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. Complex requests, requests involving archived systems, requests affecting legal or business records, or requests requiring third-party coordination may require additional time where permitted by law.

15. Your Choices

• Resumes and profiles. You may request removal of your resume or profile from searchable areas of the Services, subject to applicable retention rules and limitations described in this Policy.

No website, system, transmission, or storage method is completely secure. AgHires cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials, using accurate contact information, promptly updating compromised credentials, and notifying us if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

The Services may link to or integrate with third-party websites, employer career pages, applicant tracking systems, assessment tools, background check providers, social media platforms, payment processors, analytics providers, advertising platforms, or other third-party services. AgHires does not control and is not responsible for the content, policies, practices, availability, security, accuracy, or performance of third-party services.

When you leave AgHires or submit information directly to an employer, applicant tracking system, assessment provider, background check provider, social media site, payment processor, or other third party, your information will be handled under that third party's policies and practices. Review those policies before submitting information.
