Document background
The Candidate Confidentiality Agreement is essential for organizations conducting recruitment processes in Hong Kong where sensitive business information may be disclosed to potential employees. This document is typically used before detailed interviews, technical assessments, or when candidates might access confidential business information during the recruitment process. It ensures legal protection under Hong Kong law while maintaining compliance with local data privacy regulations and employment practices. The agreement is particularly crucial for positions involving access to trade secrets, proprietary technology, client information, or strategic business plans. The document should be presented to candidates before any sensitive information is shared and remains effective regardless of whether the candidate is ultimately hired.
