CANADIAN APPLICANT ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND CONSENT

You are applying for employment with Concentrix or one of its affiliated or related companies (“Concentrix,” “the Company,” “we, or “our”). To complete the application process, you must acknowledge and agree to the following terms and conditions, all of which comprise this Applicant Acknowledgment and Consent (Acknowledgment”):

1. Accuracy of Information

I certify that all statements made in this application, resume, cover letter, and during any interview process are true, accurate, and complete to the best of my knowledge. I understand that any misrepresentation, omission, or falsification of information may result in the rejection of my application, withdrawal of any employment offer, or separation of my employment if I am hired, regardless of when the omission or misrepresentation is discovered.

2. Minimum Age

By submitting this application, I confirm that I am at least the minimum required age to work in the province or territory where the position is authorized to be performed.

3. Equal Employment Opportunity

Concentrix is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer. We are committed to a policy of non-discrimination and equal opportunity for all qualified applicants and employees without regard to their race, color, religion, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, ancestry, age, disability, ethnicity, union membership, political affiliation, marital status, pregnancy, or any other category protected under federal or provincial human rights law. This policy applies to all aspects of employment including, but not limited to, recruitment, hiring, promotions, and compensation.

4. Work Authorization

I confirm that I am legally authorized to work in Canada and will provide valid documentation verifying my identity and work eligibility upon request. I understand that any offer of employment is contingent upon my ability to provide proof of such authorization in accordance with the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (“IRPA”) and any other applicable federal or provincial laws.

I further acknowledge that, if my authorization to work in Canada is subject to conditions, limitations, or an expiry date, it is my responsibility to maintain valid status and to promptly notify the Company of any changes affecting my work eligibility.

I understand that failure to maintain valid work authorization may result in the withdrawal of any employment offer or termination of employment, in compliance with applicable law.

5. Background and Reference Checks

I authorize the Company to conduct background and reference checks for the purpose of assessing my suitability for employment. This may include verification of my employment history, educational credentials, professional designations, and references provided during the application process.

Where applicable and permitted by law, I also consent to the Company conducting criminal record checks, credit checks (for positions with financial responsibilities), and driving record reviews if they are directly relevant to the duties of the position for which I am applying.

I understand that:

These checks will be conducted only with my express consent;
The information collected will be used solely for employment-related purposes, kept confidential, and retained only as long as reasonably necessary;
The Company will conduct these checks in accordance with federal and provincial privacy legislation, as may apply, and relevant human rights legislation; and
I may be asked to provide additional written consent before certain background checks are initiated, and I may withdraw my consent at any time by notifying the Company in writing, though this may affect my candidacy.

6. Accessibility and Accommodation

Concentrix welcomes and encourages applications from candidates with disabilities and is committed to providing an inclusive recruitment process. If you require a reasonable accommodation to participate in any stage of the application or interview process, please notify us by emailing Talent Acquisition at app.acco@concentrix.com. All information will be treated confidentially and used solely to facilitate your participation in the recruitment process.

7. Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement

If I am hired by the Company, I understand that I will be required to sign a Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement ("PIIA"). The PIIA will include a confidentiality provision that prohibits me from disclosing the Company’s confidential and proprietary information, including trade secrets, both during and after my employment.

Depending on the position for which you are hired, your level of responsibility, and province where you reside, the PIIA may also contain reasonably limited non-solicitation and/or non-competition provisions, as may be permitted and enforceable under applicable provincial or territorial laws.

8. Authorized Disclosure of Personal Information

If hired, I authorize the Company to share my professional and contact information (e.g., name, role, qualifications, etc.) with any Concentrix client to whose account I am assigned for client engagement purposes. I release the Company from any claims or liability arising from such disclosures.

I understand that my assignment to a client account is contingent upon the client granting me necessary access to its software systems. If I am hired but the client does not grant such access, and no alternate client assignment is feasible, I acknowledge that the Company may terminate my employment per applicable employment standards legislation.

Further, following the end of my employment for any reason, I authorize the Company to disclose my name and rehire eligibility status (eligible or ineligible) to any client account to which I was assigned during my employment.

c. Data Storage, Transfer, and Security

Security: I understand and agree that my personal information will be protected using industrystandard security measures, including encryption and restricted access controls, in compliance with applicable privacy laws and industry best practices.
International Transfer: I understand that my personal information may be transferred, processed, and stored by a third-party service provider located in Ireland, a member of the European Union and European Economic Area that ensures data protection under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). By consenting, I acknowledge my data will be subject to Irish laws.

f. Québec-Specific Requirements

If I apply for a position or reside in Québec, I further acknowledge that my personal information will be handled in accordance with the strict privacy governance and transparency requirements under Law 25 (formerly Bill 64).

10. Biometric Notice and Consent

This Section addresses the Company’s use of Biometric Data during the application process. As more fully described below, consent to the collection and processing of biometric screening is strictly voluntary.

Concentrix delivers customer experience and support solutions for its clients and their customers. In providing these services, employees must access and utilize various communication and technology systems ("IT Systems"), including those of its clients, which contain confidential and proprietary information. The Company is dedicated to safeguarding this information in compliance with all applicable privacy and data protection laws, including provincial privacy legislation.

a. Enhanced Security Measures

To uphold these commitments, the Company has implemented robust security protocols to authenticate applicant identities and monitor security compliance during the application process. These protocols, referred to herein as “Enhanced Security Measures,” are outlined in relevant agreements and Company policies and procedures.

b. Biometric Data Collection and Processing

Consent to the Company’s Enhanced Security Measures involves the collection, use, retention, and processing of sensitive personal information, including biometric identifiers ("Biometric Data") such as facial geometry (captured as encrypted mathematical templates). I understand that the Company uses this data solely for the purpose of verifying applicant identities and ensuring security compliance during the application process.

I also understand that the Company will not use, retain, or share my Biometric Data for any other purpose, such as marketing, unless I provide separate, explicit consent for such use.

c. Consent to Use of Biometric Data

By consenting to these terms, I expressly and voluntarily agree to the Company’s use of Enhanced Security Measures, including the collection, processing, and use of my Biometric Data for the purpose of identity verification during the application process. This includes the use of the following personal information:

My full name; and
Biometric identifiers, such as facial geometry (captured as encrypted mathematical templates).
- Voluntary Decision

My consent to the collection and use of Biometric Data is entirely voluntary. I understand that my refusal to consent to the collection and use of this data will not result in automatic disqualification from the application process. The Company provides an equally effective alternative for identity verification and security compliance that does not involve the use of Biometric Data.

- Non-Biometric Alternative Notice

I acknowledge that, if I had chosen not to consent to the collection and use of my Biometric Data or if I elect to revoke my consent, I may still proceed with my application by opting for a manual identity verification process. This process will involve a live video call with a member of the Company’s Talent Acquisition team and a manual review of my government-issued identification.

d. Further Acknowledgments

The Company will store and process my Biometric Data and personal information in accordance with provincial privacy laws.
Biometric Data and related personal information will be protected using industry-standard security measures, including encryption and restricted access controls, in compliance with applicable privacy laws and industry best practices.
The collection and use of such data are necessary and proportionate to the Company’s legitimate business interest in ensuring secure and authorized access to IT Systems and data, and in verifying the identity of applicants during the application process. A Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) has been conducted to confirm this necessity and proportionality.
Biometric Data will be retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the stated purposes and securely destroyed once no longer required (e.g., after the application process is complete or upon termination of employment, subject to legal requirements).
I understand that I may withdraw my consent at any time, though this may require a switch to the non-biometric alternative method for continued processing of my application. Withdrawal of consent or a request for the alternative method may be communicated to the Talent Acquisition Department at manual.review@concentrix.com

e. Additional Notice for Québec Applicants

If you reside in Québec, please note that the Company’s use of Biometric Data (such as facial geometry) is subject to Québec’s privacy legislation, including the Act Respecting the Protection of Personal Information in the Private Sector. In accordance with these stricter requirements:

The Company has registered its biometric data system with the Commission d’accès à l’information (CAI) before use in Québec;
A Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) has been completed to ensure the necessity and proportionality of biometric data use, in accordance with Québec’s privacy laws and CAI guidance;
Your Biometric Data will be used solely to verify your identity and monitor compliance with the Company’s Security Requirements during the application process;
The Company will implement strict safeguards to protect your Biometric Data and will not use it for any other purpose without your explicit consent.

Conduct and record video or voice interviews with candidates;
Capture and process biometric identifiers, such as facial geometry, voiceprints, and speech patterns;

b. Human Oversight

All hiring decisions include meaningful human review. AI tools are used to support recruiters and hiring managers, not to make final decisions independently.

You may request information about how AI tools were applied in your application;
You may withdraw your consent to AI processing at any time, though doing so may affect our ability to process your application through the platform;
You retain your privacy rights under Canadian law, including access to your personal information and correction of inaccuracies; and
(For applicants in Québec only): If a decision relating to your application is made exclusively through automated processing, you will be informed. Upon request, you may obtain information

about the personal information used, be informed of the main factors and parameters that led to the decision, and request that the decision be reviewed by a human.

My personal contact information will be handled in accordance with applicable privacy laws, and will not be shared or sold to unauthorized third parties; and
