How the Sourcing Engine handles your information

Scheetz Consulting Group operates a tool that recruiters use to find professionals for open roles. A recruiter describes a job, and the tool searches public professional sources and returns people whose published profiles match what the job asks for.

It is not a job board and not a background-check service. It makes no decisions about you. It shows a recruiter what a public profile says, alongside the parts of their criteria it could not find, and a person decides who is worth a conversation.

All of it comes from what you published. We do not add to it.

• Your name and the professional headline on your profile.
• Your general location as published — a city or region, never a street address.
• Employment history, job titles, skills, credentials and education, as published.
• A link to the profile the information came from, and the date it was retrieved.
• In some cases a work email address or work phone number, obtained from a contact-lookup provider at a recruiter's request.
• A stored copy of the source record, kept so that any quotation shown to a recruiter can be checked back against what was actually published.

Public professional profiles — principally LinkedIn — retrieved through third-party data providers. We do not obtain information from your employer, we do not buy consumer marketing lists, and we do not guess contact details from name-and-company patterns. A record that cannot be shown with the source it came from is discarded rather than stored.

The system does not collect, store or score characteristics protected under employment law: age, sex or gender, pregnancy or family status, race or ethnicity, religion, disability, medical or genetic information, citizenship or national origin, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, appearance, or photographs. This is enforced in the software at several points, and no ranking may be based on any of them.

Scores are advisory only. Nothing about you is hidden, filtered out or rejected automatically, and a criterion the tool could not find is recorded as unknown — never as evidence that you lack it.

Only the recruiting organization whose search returned you. Each client’s workspace is isolated from every other, so one client cannot see another’s candidates. SCG staff can access records to provide support, and that access is recorded.

We use third-party providers to run the service — for data sourcing, contact lookup, hosting, the database and email delivery — each under contract and only to operate the tool.

Each client organization sets a retention window, between 90 days and three years depending on their plan, measured from the last time your record appeared in one of their searches. When that window passes, the record is retired automatically.

If you ask to be removed, we act on it straight away, regardless of that window.

• Ask to be removed. We delete the record and suppress you, so a later search cannot bring you back.
• Ask what we hold. We will send you the record we have.
• Ask us to correct something. We can fix a stored record, though the lasting fix is your own profile — that is where the information comes from.

Email ryan@scheetzcg.com with your name and a link to your public profile. We ask only for what we need to find the right record and confirm it is yours, and we respond within 30 days.

Two honest limits. Removal from the Sourcing Engine does not change your public profile, which stays wherever you published it. And it does not reach information a recruiter already exported or copied into their own system before you asked — if that matters to you, tell us and we will identify who to contact.
