How and why we use your personal data?

We use your personal data to match your skills, experience and education with a potential employer. We will initially collect basic information on you such as contact details, job role and experience and then pass this on to the client in search of personnel.

We keep your information in accordance with our retention policy:

Candidate data: After 2 years, should our service no longer be relevant to you we delete your data. We always attempt to ensure data we hold is up to date and accurate. Where there is a statutory reason to keep data it is held for 6 years and no longer.

Who do we share your personal data with?

What legal basis do we have for using your information?

Accodian-Contact-Arrow
For prospective candidates, referees and clients, our processing is necessary for our legitimate interests in that we need the information in order to be able to assess suitability for potential roles, to find potential candidates and to contact clients and referees.

If you are shortlisted as a candidate then this may involve the processing of more detailed personal data including sensitive data such as health information that you or others provide about you. In that case we always ask for your consent before undertaking such processing.

For clients, we may also rely on our processing being necessary to perform a contract for you, for example in contacting you.

What happens if you do not provide us with the information we request or ask that we stop processing your information?

Accodian-Contact-Arrow
If you do not provide the personal data necessary, or withdraw your consent for the processing of your personal data, we may not be able to match you with available job opportunities.

Do we use Cookies to collect personal data on you?

To better match your employee profile with current opportunities we may transfer your personal data to clients and partners in countries outside the EEA. These countries privacy laws may be different from those in your home country.
