Individual Members will also have the option of easily attaching a saved resume. When you apply for a job advertisement on the Site, applications, including attachments and cover letters, are:

  • forwarded directly on to the Advertiser and/or its nominated representative; or
  • stored on the Top 100 Women website on behalf of the Corporate Member. Corporate Members can then easily and effectively manage their recruitment process via one central facility made available by Top 100 Women

By answering the Application questions, you acknowledge that Top 100 Women will provide your answers to that Advertiser and may use your answers to populate your Top 100 Women Profile and enable Advertisers to surface that information when using Talent Search.
