Candidates, Potential Clients and Employers

Here’s our Privacy Policy, to let you know what we plan to do with any personal information you give us. Don't worry, we’ve kept it really simple!

Candidates

We will of course need you to send us your Curriculum Vitae, so we can review it and assess for which vacancies you are best suited. We do need to pass this on to prospective employers as part of the recruitment process; however, we promise never to do so without consulting you first and getting your express permission. All CVs and other personal data about you are held electronically in encrypted form, and only sent by email in encrypted form. We retain submitted CVs on an on-going basis, as often a highly suitable vacancy becomes available; if you’re not happy with that, you do have the right to ask us to delete your information at any time.

Potential Clients
If you’re not yet a client and you contact us for information about our services, we need to process your details when we reply. We will be storing the details you enter in a digital form, and using those to send you the information you have requested. We would also like from time to time to send you emails containing information we believe will be of interest to you. We will only do this if there is interesting news; this could be several times in one month, but not at all in another. We only need your name and contact details; we believe it is in our legitimate interests to do this, and does not affect your privacy. You have the right to unsubscribe at any time – just let us know, and we won’t contact you again. We will not share your details with any third party.

Employers
Most of the information we receive from you is not of a personal nature; however, we need some personal information from you (such as key contact names, phone numbers and email addresses) to help us to give you the best possible recruitment service. We are aware that some of this will be confidential in nature, and will treat it accordingly, keeping it as safe as possible from prying eyes. This forms part of our contract with you, and our commitment to you as a valued client. We will not ask for information from you that is not relevant to our provision of services to you. We normally retain your information permanently, unless you tell us to discard it. As with potential clients, we would also like from time to time to send you emails containing information we believe will be of interest to you. We will only do this if there is interesting news; this could be several times in one month, but not at all in another. We regard this as part of our contract with you, to keep you well informed, but you can opt out of this if you wish – just tell us. Similarly, we may contact you by telephone or email to let you know about a particularly good candidate who may be relevant to your operation – sometimes, the best placements arise from just such a contact, but again, if you don’t want us to do this then let us know.
