By submitting your CV, personal information, or job application to Lasem Group (via our website, email, or third-party portals), you (the “Candidate”) agree to the following terms and conditions in accordance with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) and South African Labour Law.
1. Consent to Process Personal Information
In terms of POPIA, you hereby grant Lasem Group explicit permission to collect, store, and process your personal information, including but not limited to:
- Identity and contact details.
- Employment history and educational qualifications.

- Verify your qualifications with the relevant academic institutions.
- Perform criminal and credit background checks via authorized South African agencies.
- Contact listed references to discuss your past performance and conduct.
3. No Guarantee of Placement
Submission of an application does not create an employment contract or an obligation for Lasem Group to secure you a position. We act as an intermediary between you and the Employer. The final hiring decision rests solely with the Employer.
4. Direct Applications & “Backdoor” Protection
If Lasem Group introduces you to a Client, you agree not to apply directly to that same Client for the same or any other role for a period of 12 months from the date of introduction without involving Lasem Group. This ensures our proprietary recruitment efforts are protected.

- The withdrawal of a job offer by a Client.

- You hereby indemnify Lasem Group against any claims or legal actions resulting from the use of your information for legitimate recruitment purposes.
6. Data Retention & Right to Erasure

- Your Rights: You have the right to access your data, request corrections, or ask for the permanent deletion of your profile at any time by emailing privacy@lasemgroup.co.za.
7. Communication Consent
By registering, you consent to receive communications from Lasem Group regarding job opportunities, interview coaching, and career development via email, SMS, or WhatsApp. You may opt-out of these communications at any time.
