Job Seeker Personal Information

When you register as a Tax Job Seeker, we require your first and last name, city and state, location preference, contact phone number, email address and format, education, career level, user name and password, employment type, tax skills and tax software. You will be asked to enter optional information, such as your compensation, certifications, travel preferences and other similar information related to a job search. This optional information is used by CareersInTax to match your career profile with job openings and employer/recruiter searches on our site. Failure to provide the optional information will not prevent you from utilizing the site, but it will result in less than optimum site operation and results.

Your email address will be used by CareersInTax to notify you of positions that match your specifications as a result of your job agents or to notify you of an employer’s interest if you have a confidential resume. Your email address may also be utilized by CareersInTax, registered employers, recruiters, consulting firms or staffing firms to notify you about a specific position available, or to send you a newsletter containing information regarding career or marketing issues. The newsletter may be sponsored by, and the specific position may be with, through or on behalf of an employer/recruiter, consulting firm or staffing firm registered on our site. However, the email will be sent to you from CareersInTax. The employer/recruiter, consulting firm or staffing firm will be given a total count of emails generated, but will not be provided with a list of email addresses utilized. You may opt out of receiving emails by changing your preference on your account profile login screen.

CareersInTax does not disclose or sell your personal information to any third parties that are not registered, except when we believe that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with law, enforce or apply the terms of any of our user agreements, or to protect the rights, property or safety of CareersInTax.com, our users or others.

Confidential Job Seekers

Generally, when a Job Seeker uses our site, they complete a candidate profile and submit their resume to our database. When an employer searches our database, they may view a brief summary about the Job Seeker prior to accessing the Job Seeker’s resume. This summary contains general information such as location, travel specifications, salary, tax skills, degrees and certifications. This brief summary includes the Job Seekers first name and first initial of the last name. However, if the Job Seeker has chosen to have their candidate profile “confidential” the employer will not see the first name and first initial of last name, but will instead see the word “confidential.” The employer will not be able to view the resume. If the employer is interested in contacting the Job Seeker, the employer will submit a request to CareersInTax.com and we will contact the Job Seeker via email, to convey the employer’s interest. At that point, the Job Seeker will make the decision as to whether or not to respond to the employer.
