Privacy policy

For candidates: the details you give us directly — name, contact details, location, CV, work history, salary expectations and any notes from conversations with our consultants. Where you apply through a job advert we also record which advert and which source brought you to it.

For clients: the contact details of the individuals we work with, plus records of briefs, shortlists, feedback and commercial terms.

For all website visitors: basic analytics about pages visited and how you arrived, subject to your cookie choices.

To match you against roles, to represent you to employers with your permission, to meet our contractual obligations to clients, and to comply with employment, tax and anti-discrimination law in the markets we operate in.

Our lawful bases are contract (where we are acting for you or a client), legitimate interests (running a recruitment business) and consent (marketing, and any special-category data you choose to share).

We use an automated matching engine to rank candidate profiles against role requirements. It produces a ranking; it never produces a rejection. A named consultant reviews the full ranked list and makes every decision about who is put forward.

You may ask us what role automated processing played in any decision affecting you, and we will tell you. See our AI transparency statement for a fuller description.

Your CV and details are shared with a prospective employer only when you have given permission for that specific role. We never sell personal data.

We use processors for hosting, email, applicant tracking and analytics. Each is bound by contract to process data only on our instructions.

Candidate records are retained for 24 months from your last interaction with us, after which they are deleted unless you ask us to keep them active. Client and placement records are kept for as long as required by contract and by tax and employment law in the relevant market.

You can ask for a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete it, object to processing, or withdraw consent at any time. Write to [email protected] and we will respond within 30 days, and confirm deletions within 72 hours.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data you may complain to the supervisory authority in your market.
