How and why we use your personal data
We use your personal data to be able to match your skills, experience and education with a potential employer. We will initially collect basic information on you such as contact details, role and experience and then pass this on to the client in search of personnel. If you are chosen by the client to progress in a process, we may then be collecting more information from you at the interview (or equivalent) stage and onwards in that manner.

What legal basis do we have for using your data?
For prospective candidates, interim managers, referees and clients, our processing is necessary for our legitimate interests in that we require information in order to be able to assess suitability for potential roles, to find potential candidates and to contact clients and referees. If you are shortlisted as a candidate, then this may involve the processing of more detailed personal data including sensitive data such as health information that you or others provide about you. In that case we always ask for your consent before undertaking such processing.
For clients, we may also rely on our processing being necessary to perform a contract for you, for example in contacting you.
What happens if you do not provide us with the information we request or ask that we stop processing your information?
If you do not provide the personal data necessary or withdraw your consent for the processing of your personal data, we may not be able to match you with available job opportunities.
Do we make automated decisions concerning you?
No, we do not carry out automated profiling.
Do we transfer your data outside the EEA?
To better match your employee profile with current opportunities we may transfer your personal data to clients and partners in countries outside the EEA. Our network predominantly in Europe with occasional US and other world exposure.
In order to comply with GDPR, in respect of transferring data to a country which has not been deemed to provide adequate data protection standards we always have strict security measures and appropriate agreements in place with our offices in our network in order to protect your personal data.
