Who we are
ReadHire ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website at readhire.me and its subdomains (e.g. apex.readhire.me). ReadHire is a curated job board for specialist technology roles.
What data we collect
We collect only what is necessary to provide the service:
- Email address — when you subscribe to job alerts or click apply on a job listing.
- Job click behaviour — which job listings you click apply on, and when.
- Job application history — which roles you express interest in via the apply flow.
- Cookie data — a functional cookie (rh_email) used to prefill your email on future visits.
We do not collect names, phone numbers, CV data, or any payment information. We do not run advertising trackers or sell data to third parties.
How we use your data
