Privacy

Last updated 2026

HireMe helps recruitment firms interview every applicant and find the people they can place. We take the privacy of both recruiters and candidates seriously. This page explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. It is written in plain language and is not a substitute for legal advice.

Who we are

HireMe is a recruitment interview and analytics platform. When a recruitment firm uses HireMe, that firm is the controller of its candidate data and HireMe processes that data on their behalf. When HireMe suggests a candidate to another recruitment firm for a similar role, as described under Sharing, HireMe and that firm also handle the information that is shared.

Information we collect

From recruiters and their team we collect account details such as name, work email, company and role, along with how the product is used.

From applicants we collect the information they share during an interview, including the recording and transcript of the conversation, contact details, work rights, qualifications and the score and summary we generate from the interview.

How we use it

We use recruiter information to provide and secure the service and to support your team. We use applicant information to run the interview, produce a score and summary, and present ranked candidates back to the recruitment firm that invited them.

We also use an applicant's interview to match them to similar roles: other jobs at the same firm, and roles at other recruitment firms on HireMe.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not use candidate data to train models for anyone other than the firm that owns it.

Sharing

Candidate information is shared with the recruitment firm the candidate applied to or spoke with.

HireMe may also suggest a candidate to other recruitment firms on HireMe for similar roles. Those firms first see an anonymised profile: the kind of work you want, your experience, where you want to work and a summary of your interview, without your name or contact details. A firm receives your name and contact details only when it chooses to contact you about a role. At the end of your interview we ask whether you would like HireMe to consider you for similar roles. If you say no, or tell us later at hello@hireme.ai, we stop offering you to other firms.

We use a small number of trusted service providers to run the platform, such as cloud hosting, our voice interview engine and email delivery. They act on our instructions and are bound to protect the data.

Storage, security and retention

Data is protected in transit and at rest, and access is restricted to what is needed to run the service. Each firm's data is kept separate from every other firm's, apart from the anonymised profiles and the details a firm obtains as described under Sharing. We keep information for as long as the firm needs it to run its recruitment, and we remove it on request.

Your choices

Candidates and recruiters can ask to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold. Candidates can also ask us at any time to stop suggesting them to other recruitment firms. Recruitment firms can remove a candidate and the data derived from them at any time from within the product.

Cookies

We use only the cookies needed to keep you signed in and to remember basic preferences such as your theme. We do not run advertising trackers.
