Automated Processing

Monster may perform automated processing of your Personal Data to analyse and predict your preferences and interests. In some circumstances, automated processing is necessary for us to provide our services to job seekers and employers. For example, automated processing allows us to match job seekers with employers effectively, to provide job seekers with job alerts and recommended jobs, to send job seeker applications to employers, to display search results, and to perform certain spam and fraud detection activities to protect our users.

Monster uses generative AI technology to provide services that benefit our job seekers and customers. For example, Monster uses generative AI to offer our job seekers practice interviews with the AI model that analyses their input and generates real-time feedback. Monster retains user input we receive when you use our AI tools for the sole purpose of analysing transcripts to detect flagged issues or fraud. Monster does not share user input or other personal data with our AI providers to train their machine learning models.

Monster does not make decisions based solely on automated processing.
