How we handle résumés

One document at the first step

GO ELMS asks for one résumé, in PDF or DOCX format, so its authorized screening team can conduct an initial manual review and prepare qualified candidate profiles. The file-size limit is 10 MB.

Do not upload sensitive documents

Do not upload or email a passport, diploma, criminal background check, apostille, health record, banking information, password, or other identity document during initial screening.

Private review

The résumé is reviewed only for the GO ELMS screening process. It is not stored in the public website folder and is not automatically forwarded to a recruiter, school, or other organization.

Separate permission before a handoff

If the opportunity appears to fit, GO ELMS will contact the candidate and ask for separate permission before sending the résumé or personal information to the recruiting partner. The candidate may decline.

Deletion

GO ELMS will publish a specific retention period before résumé collection begins. Résumés will not be kept longer than needed for screening, an approved recruiter introduction, and any applicable recordkeeping requirements. Candidates will also be able to request earlier deletion using the privacy contact listed on the activated form.
