Why choose Elevated Hiring?

Elevated Hiring offers a compelling solution to two prevalent global challenges. Firstly, we tackle labor shortages stemming from a scarcity of particular roles within job markets.

These challenges are especially pronounced in many Western countries' local job markets, presenting a unique and complex landscape that we aim to navigate adeptly. By leveraging our expertise and resources, we strive to untangle these knots, providing efficient and cost-effective solutions for both clients and candidates alike.


By utilizing Elevated Hiring's recruitment services, you not only open doors for yourself and others but also enjoy significant cost savings of up to 80% compared to local alternatives. Moreover, you can circumvent expensive structural, tax, and social fees. Entrusting us to find the most suitable Independent Contractor (Candidate) for you alleviates the burdensome and time-consuming headaches, as well as unnecessary financial costs, allowing you to focus on more critical matters. We manage the entire process from start to finish, leaving you with just the decision-making.

Headhunting- or Recruitment Steps:

To be able to provide our services as a Headhunting (Recruitment) Company, there are situations where your personal data is vital to in part store and in part to proceed, these will include:

  • Ensure that contractual agreements- and demands are in compliance between us, Client, Candidate, Affiliates, Partners, Suppliers, or otherwise, under all and any legal recruitment.

  • Ensure that data exists and is recorded to provide evidence in case of any legal claims to defend and- or exercise legal rights.

  • To protect the name of Elevated Hiring, its intellectual- or physical property, its assets- tools- and features, its staff- shareholders- affiliates- or partners, or any and all elements of Elevated Hiring.

Time-frame of Storing Data

Elevated Hiring does not automatically delete- or remove any data- or information, personal or otherwise if not requested. It will be stored indefinitely until either (1) a request for removal is filed, (2) a legal matter requires us to remove and- or hand over such data, or (3) Elevated Hiring is no longer in operation. We believe that compliance does not have a set time-stamp and each case is different, therefore we store data until otherwise requested- demanded, or until we are no longer active.

Marketing Emails

We make use of marketing emails at Elevated Hiring which may contain personalized offers for you. These are automatically subscribed to when you provide us with your email but can be unsubscribed at any given moment. We may make use of affiliates- or partners to provide more relevant offers to you via email as well, which the former can be unsubscribed to as well. This can include but is not limited to, vacancies to be filled or promotions.

Cookies

You can read more about cookies here - https://allaboutcookies.org/what-is-a-cookie

Cookies are small text files that websites send to your web browser and are stored on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet). They contain information about your interactions with the website, such as login credentials, preferences, browsing history, and settings. Cookies are used to personalize your experience on websites, remember your preferences, and track your behavior for various purposes, including analytics, advertising, and improving website functionality. There are two main types of cookies: session cookies, which expire when you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a longer period of time. 

There are several types of cookies, each serving different purposes. Here are the main differences between them:

  1. Session Cookies:

    • Session cookies are temporary cookies that are erased from your device when you close your web browser.

    • They are used to track your activities during a single browsing session and are essential for certain website functionalities, such as maintaining your login state or remembering items in your shopping cart.

    • Session cookies do not collect information from your computer and are typically considered less invasive to privacy.

  2. Persistent Cookies:

    • Persistent cookies remain on your device even after you close your browser.

    • They have an expiration date set by the website and can remain valid for days, months, or even years.

    • Persistent cookies are used to remember your preferences and settings for future visits to the same website.

    • While they can enhance user experience by providing personalized content, they also raise privacy concerns as they can track your activities over time.

  3. First-Party Cookies:

    • First-party cookies are set by the website you are currently visiting, and their primary purpose is to enhance user experience on that particular site.

    • They can remember your login status, language preferences, and other settings specific to the website.

    • First-party cookies are generally considered less intrusive to privacy since they are directly related to the website you are interacting with.

  4. Third-Party Cookies:

    • Third-party cookies are set by domains other than the one you are currently visiting. These cookies are often used for advertising and tracking purposes.

    • They are commonly employed by advertisers and analytics companies to collect data about your browsing behavior across multiple websites.

    • Third-party cookies can be used to create user profiles, deliver targeted ads, and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

    • They are more controversial in terms of privacy, as they allow third-party entities to gather extensive information about your online activities.


In summary, the main differences between different types of cookies lie in their lifespan (session vs. persistent) and their origin (first-party vs. third-party). Each type serves specific functions and presents varying degrees of privacy implications.
