Brightway does not require job applicants to provide a social security number. However, prior to extension of an offer for employment, a social security number is required to verify a candidate’s identity and candidates are invited to complete a voluntary disclosure form to share information beyond the standard job application. This form is not required and does not impact the extension of an offer for employment in any way. Thank you for your feedback. We have modified our online application and instructions to reflect the appropriate sequencing of events. We hope you will consider applying to Brightway in the future should the opportunity arise.
