This Data Protection Statement applies to Candidates


For the purposes of this Candidate – Data Protection Statement, a Candidate includes: 

  • an active job seeker, who registers with us with the purpose of us helping them to find a job, or applies to a Client role that we have advertised; 
  • someone who we have placed with a Client whether on a permanent or contract basis; 
  • someone we identify as a potential job seeker; or 
  • someone supplied on assignment paid by us and working with Clients. 

We have a variety of sources of Candidate personal data. We will only ever source personal data that is necessary to provide our services and in a way that would be generally expected. 

We receive personal data about Candidates from a variety of sources. Usually a Candidate will register their interest with us or we will approach them through publicly available channels. We may also receive personal data about a Candidate when: 

  • the Candidate applies to a position advertised on a third party jobs website; 
  • the Candidate may be sourced from publicly accessible platforms such as LinkedIn; 
  • the Candidate may be sourced from third party CV providers such as jobs websites that provide CV search facilities, where users have made their CV data available to registered customers of these sites; 
  • the Candidate may be referred to us from a third party recruitment business which is a supplier to us; 
  • the Candidate’s nominated referees or other individuals may provide us with personal data relating to the Candidate; or 
  • the Candidate may be referred to us by the Client.
