What type of information we have
We currently collect and process the following information:
Candidates; We collect and use only necessary information in order to find you the best available opportunities and any further information needed to assess your eligibility to progress through different stages of recruitment. This information includes:
- CVs,
- identification documents,
- educational records,
- work history,
- employment and references,
- financial information (for contract/freelance assignments).
We may also collect sensitive personal data about you, related to your health, diversity information or details of any criminal convictions. We only collect this sensitive personal data from you if necessary, and further process this data, where you have given your explicit consent.
Clients; We collect and use only the information necessary to provide you, or people in your organisation with services such as finding the best available candidates for your opportunities.
Other data subjects; We collect and use only the information necessary to be able to contact you and pay you for the services you provide.
Website Users; We collect and use only the information necessary to improve your experience when using our website. This may include how, when and how often you visit us.
How we get the information and why we have it
The following are the different sources we may collect personal data about you from:
- Directly from you.
- From an agent/third party acting on your behalf. e.g. A Contractor’s Limited Company.
- Through publicly available sources. For example;
- Job Boards
- By Reference or word of mouth. For example, you may be recommended by a friend, a former employer, a former colleague or even a present employer.
What we do with the information we have
Candidates; We use your personal data to match your skills and experience 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. If you are chosen by the client and go through to the next stage we will then be collecting more information from you at the interview (or equivalent) stage and onwards in that manner. We may use your data to send you information that you may find interesting such as suggesting other jobs to you.
Clients; We use your personal data to ensure that we can find the right candidates for the opportunities that you may have or for contractual obligations.
Suppliers; We use your personal data to ensure that we can contact you and for contractual obligations.
How long do we keep your personal data for?
We will only retain your information for as long as is necessary for us to use your information as described above or to comply with our legal obligations. However, we may retain some of your information after you cease to use our services, if we believe in good faith that it is necessary to meet our legal obligations, such as retaining the information for tax and accounting purposes.
When determining the relevant retention periods, we will take into account factors including:
(a) our contractual obligations and rights in relation to the information involved;
(b) legal obligation(s) under applicable law to retain data for a certain period of time;
(c) statute of limitations under applicable law(s);
(d) (potential) disputes;
(e) if you have made a request to have your information deleted; and
(f) guidelines issued by relevant data protection authorities.
Otherwise, we securely erase your information once this is no longer needed.
Who do we share your personal data with?
Candidates; only with your prior approval will we share your personal data with a client who has a position to fill, in order to determine with the client whether you are a good fit for the available position.
We may also conduct checks on you to verify the information you have provided and where we do this we share your information with our appointed background checking company.
Unless you specify otherwise we may share your data with any of our associated third parties – for example our payroll and pension providers – to provide you with the best possible service.
Clients; We share your data with candidates during the course of providing recruitment services to you, and with third parties as part of our contractual relationship.
Suppliers; We share your data third parties as part of our contractual relationship.
What legal basis do we have for using your information?
For prospective candidates, contractors, referees and clients, our processing is necessary for our legitimate interests – we need this information in order to be able to assess suitability for potential roles, to find potential candidates and to contact clients and referees, and suppliers.
If you are interviewed and submitted 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.
Where we need consent for some activities such as contacting candidates about other recruitment-related services we will ask for it. We rely on soft opt-in consent for these activities where you have previously engaged with us by submitting a CV, applying for a job, or registering on our website. This means we take you consent as given unless or until you opt-out. For other types of e-marketing we require your explicit consent.
