FAQs about "invisible reCAPTCHA"
What is Invisible reCAPTCHA all about?
So-called CAPTCHAs were developed to avoid email flooding and to distinguish between real users and artificial bots.
Maybe you’re more familiar with CAPTCHAs where you have to tick the check box to confirm you’re not a bot.
In order to maintain usability, we decided to implement "invisible reCAPTCHA" by Google. The user has to tick the check box only in exceptional cases and will not be otherwise affected when using Employee Referrals.
Which personal data are processed?
Employee Referrals uses "invisible reCAPTCHA" by Google LLC.
According to Google LLC, the following personal data will be processed:
- Users IP address
Please read more for further details.
Where in my Firstbird company account was "invisible reCAPTCHA" implemented?
As soon as the check box is activated, “invisible reCAPTCHA” will be active at the following:
- Forgot domain
- Forgot password
- Application form
- Direct referral (2nd window)
What do I have to consider at reCAPTCHA when it comes to data security?
When you use "invisible reCAPTCHA" by Google LLC, you have to make this service known in your data protection statement.
We are therefore happy to provide an article about reCAPTCHA for our customers in our data protection statement template (article 2.6, page 16).
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us through our contact form.
Job view fraud protection
Where to find it: Account Preferences - Settings - General - Extended Security with Google reCAPTCHA - Job View Fraud Protection
In order to protect your Employee Referrals account from "fake" job views, you have the possibility to enable "Job View Fraud Protection" in your "Account Preferences" - "Settings" - "General" - "Extended security by Google reCAPTCHA".
FAQs about job view fraud protection
What exactly does this setting do?
Since a Talent Scout get points for generated job views, a Talent Scout might try to generate them in a "fraudulent" manner. In detail, a technically talented Talent Scout could program a "script" and could get too many job views or points.
In order to prevent this, we now offer the function of using "Google reCAPTCHA" as a setting in your Employee Referrals account. This setting checks if it is an automated/programmed ("bot") job view or not.
Please note!
Especially with ongoing competitions/challenges, this setting could prevent a Talent Scout from "cheating" and generating too many points.
What do I have to consider before I activate this setting?
Please note that by enabling this setting, personal information (such as the IP address of your users) will be sent to Google servers outside the EU. To be on the "safe side" here, you can activate a consent on your job advertisement (in the form of a "cookie banner").
This checkmark is set by default ("Ask for consent on the job page"). Each user must then before he can view/apply for the job, first agree that his data may be processed through Google reCAPTCHA.
If the checkmark on "Ask for consent on the job page" is not set, no "cookie banner" will appear on the job ad. So there won’t be any indication for the user that Google reCAPTCHA is used. As a result, personal data is sent and processed to Google servers outside the EU without the user's active consent.
If a user does not click on "accept", which means he rejects the use of cookies, the user can view the job ad and apply for the job. However, no job view is generated and no points are given to the Talent Scout.
Do I have to adapt my privacy policy?
Yes, by enabling this feature, it is important to update your privacy policy and especially point out that personal data (such as the user's IP address) will be sent to Google servers outside the EU.

Add your terms of use, data privacy and imprint
Where to find it: Click on your Name (top right) - Account Preferences - Settings - Customize Terms
Each company has its own terms of use and privacy policy. To take them into account, you can add in Employee Referrals your company terms of use and privacy policy. Each new user or applicant has to accept these terms by registration or application. Furthermore, you can add your imprint as well.
If you customize your terms, they will be visible on the following pages:
- User Registration
- Page for Applicants
- Login
Your terms are not only visible in your Employee Referrals account. They are visible as well in emails sent from your Employee Referrals domain (e.g.: customer-happiness@radancy.com).
In case you do not customize the terms, we will display our terms of use and privacy policy.
Before you start, go to the drop-down menu and choose the language in which you would like to edit your terms of use, data privacy, and imprint.
Primary language
You can set one language as a "Primary" language.
By setting this "Primary" language, you decide in which language a potential Talent Scout or candidate will see your terms of use, data privacy, and imprint in case his browser language is not one of the languages you offer.
Example: The "Primary" language for your terms of use, data privacy and Imprint is English and the browser language of the new Talent Scout and candidate is Spanish. If the Talent Scout or candidate reads your terms of use during the registration or application process, the Talent Scout or candidate will see your Terms of Use in English as you set English as your "Primary" language.
