LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING YOUR DATA

Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR says that we can process your data where it “is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by [us] or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights or freedoms of [you] which require protection of personal data.”

CANDIDATE DATA:

We cannot conduct our business without collecting personal data, in order to assess your skills against our bank of vacancies, and to provide details to prospective employers. If you are looking for employment you will always have to provide personal data to the prospective employer or to an agency. We provide data to prospective employers to allow them to consider you as a candidate. If it seems that you will be offered a job, the prospective employer may also want to double check any information you’ve given us or to confirm your references, qualifications and criminal record.

We also need to use your data for our internal administrative activities, like payroll and invoicing where relevant, and we may have obligations to share your data in connection with crime detection, tax collection or actual or anticipated litigation.

CLIENT DATA:

To ensure that we provide you with the best service possible, we store your personal data and/or the personal data of individual contacts at your organisation as well as keeping records of our conversations, meetings, registered jobs and placements.. These uses of your data are necessary for our legitimate interests as an organisation.

SUPPLIER DATA:

PEOPLE WHOSE DATA WE RECEIVE FROM CANDIDATES, SUCH AS REFEREES AND EMERGENCY CONTACTS:

If you have been named by a Candidate as a referee, we use your personal data in order to contact you for a reference. This is a part of our quality assurance procedure and is necessary for our legitimate interests as an organisation offering recruitment services and as an employer.

If a Candidate has given us your details as an emergency contact, we will use these details to contact you in the case of an accident or emergency. This is necessary for our legitimate business interests.

****************************************

CONSENT

In certain circumstances, we are required to obtain your consent to the processing of your personal data in relation to certain activities. Depending on exactly what we are doing with your information, this consent will be opt-in consent or soft opt-in consent.

Article 4(11) of the GDPR states that (opt-in) consent is “any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.” In plain language, this means that:

– you have to give us your consent freely, without us putting you under any type of pressure;

– you have to know what you are consenting to – so we’ll make sure we give you enough information;

– you should have control over which processing activities you consent to and which you don’t and;

– you need to take positive and affirmative action in giving us your consent – we’re likely to provide a tick box for you to check so that this requirement is met in a clear and unambiguous fashion.

We will keep records of the consents that you have given in this way.
