What personal data do we collect about you?
We gather information throughout the hiring and recruitment procedures, including additional data needed to evaluate your eligibility at various phases of recruitment, in order to match you with our open positions. Telephone numbers, email addresses, residential addresses, curriculum vitae, identification documents, academic records, career history, and references are all included in this data.
We may also gather sensitive personal information about you, such as your health and ability to work in the UK. We only obtain sensitive personal information about you with your explicit consent, and we only use this information for further processing.
Where do we collect personal data about you from?
The following are the different sources we may collect personal data about you from:
- straight from you. This is information you give to potential employers while looking for work or at various phases of the hiring process.
- from a representative or other party acting in your place. For instance, associates, contractors, and recruitment firms.
- through sources that are open to the public. We draw information from the following open sources: LinkedIn, job boards, and the Internet.
- By Word of Mouth Reference. You might, for instance, receive a recommendation from a friend, past employer, former coworker, or even current employer.
When we gather your information from publicly accessible sources, as described above, we might use tools like external recruitment agencies. These vendors look through publicly accessible sources after being given guidelines on a role’s requirements. These vendors are made to only output data on applicants who fit the search criteria. Only public websites with a reasonable expectation that such information may be gathered are allowed to be searched for candidate information by this supplier. Your information will be kept on our main applicant tracking system (Recruitee), Microsoft Outlook, and our internal test portal once it has been gathered.
How and why do we use your personal data?
To match your qualifications, background, and education with a possible position or opening, we use the personal information you provide. The hiring manager will receive the bare minimum of information about you, including your name, address, and details of your employment and experience. We will continue to gather more information from you in this manner if you are chosen to move on to the next step.
How long do we keep your personal data for?
We retain your data for a minimum of 365 days to satisfy our 12-month re-application policy. Both candidate and placed candidate information fall under this.
Who do we share your personal data with?
In order to determine whether you are a suitable fit for the open position, your personal information is shared with hiring managers who start a search for candidates.
What legal basis do we have for using your information?
Our processing of information about possible applicants, contractors, and referees is required by our legitimate interests because we need the data to determine candidates’ suitability for open positions, locate potential candidates, and get in touch with referees. In the event that you are interviewed and submitted as a candidate, processing of sensitive information that you or others give about you may be necessary. We can also claim that the processing we do is required for us to fulfill a contract we have with you, such making contact with you.
What happens if you do not provide us with the information we request or ask that we stop processing your information?
We might not be able to match you with open positions if you withhold the personal information required or revoke your agreement to the processing of your personal data.
Do we use Cookies to collect personal data on you?

Do we transfer your data outside the EEA?

What rights do you have in relation to the data we hold on you?
