Document background
The Candidate Non-Disclosure Agreement is a crucial document used in Canadian recruitment processes where sensitive or proprietary information may be shared with potential employees. This agreement is particularly important when candidates will be exposed to confidential business strategies, technical information, client data, or intellectual property during interviews, technical assessments, or facility tours. It should be presented to candidates before any substantial information sharing occurs, typically after initial screening but before detailed interviews or assessments. The document ensures compliance with Canadian privacy laws, including PIPEDA and provincial privacy legislation, while providing clear, enforceable protections for the organization's confidential information. It's designed to be user-friendly for candidates while maintaining robust legal protection for employers, with specific consideration for Canadian contract law principles and employment standards.
