We use your personal data to match your skills, experience and education with those required by 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. If you are chosen by the client and go through to the next stage, we will then collect more information from you at the interview (or equivalent) stage and onwards in that manner.

The following are the different sources we may collect personal data about you from:

  • Directly from you. This is information you provide while searching for a new employment opportunity and/or during the different recruitment stages, or during coaching

  • From an agent/third party acting on your behalf

  • Through publicly available sources, such as:

    • Social media, including LinkedIn

    • Company websites

What legal basis do we have for using your information?

For prospective candidates, referees and clients, our processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests. That is, we need the information in order to assess suitability for potential roles, to find potential candidates and to contact clients and referees. We carry out a ‘balancing test’ to ensure that our processing is necessary and that your fundamental rights of privacy are not outweighed by our legitimate interests, before we go ahead with such processing. We keep a record of these balancing tests. You have a right to and can find out more about the information in these balancing tests by contacting us using the details below. If you are shortlisted as a candidate then this may involve processing more detailed personal data including sensitive data such as health information that you or others provide about you. In those cases we always ask for consent before undertaking such processing

In the case of client organisations, we may also store, process and use data, such as contact details, in order to fulfil programmes of work we have been contracted to undertake.

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

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 as we will need to delete your data from our records.

Do we make automated decisions concerning you?

No, we do not carry out automated profiling.
