Where We find you in this way we will obtain your personal data from these sources.

  • We may receive your personal data from an online job site that recommends you as a candidate for a specific job opening more generally.

Uses Made Of Your Information

Lawful basis for processing

We rely on legitimate interest as the lawful basis on which We collect and use your personal data. Our legitimate interests are the recruitment of staff for Our clients or to match Our candidates with an employer. 

Where you apply for a job opening through online recruitment websites, we rely on your consent, which is freely given by you during the application process, to disclose your personal data to our hiring clients on the basis described below.

Purposes of processing

We use information held about you in the following ways:

  • To consider your application in respect of a role for which you have applied.

  • To consider your application in respect of other roles.

  • To communicate with you in respect of the recruitment process.

  • To enhance any information that we receive from you with information obtained from third-party data providers.

  • To find appropriate candidates to fill Our client’s job openings or to find a role best suited to you as a candidate.

  • To send your application to the hiring client. 

 

Automated decision making/profiling

We may use online job websites’ technology to select appropriate candidates for Us to consider based on criteria expressly identified by us, or typical in relation to the role for which you have applied. The process of finding suitable candidates is automatic, however, any decision as to who We will engage to fill the job opening will be made by Our staff.

Disclosure of Your Information

  • As set out above, we pass your information to our hiring clients or employers who are recruiting for your position, who use it only in accordance with our instructions to review you as an applicant and as otherwise required by law. 

  • Where you have applied for a job opening through an online job site, and where you have consented to this disclosure, We will disclose to the online job site certain personal data that We hold, including but not limited to a unique identifier used by the online job site to identify you, and information about your progress through our hiring process for the applicable job opening, as well as tangible, intangible, visual, electronic, present, or future information that we hold about you, such as your name, contact details and other information involving analysis of data relating to you as an applicant for employment (collectively “Disposition Data”). The online job site’s Privacy Notice in respect of their use of the Disposition Data is available on their website.

  • Where you have applied to a job opening through another service provider, we may disclose data similar to the Disposition Data defined above to such service provider. The service provider shall be the data controller of this data and shall therefore be responsible for complying with all applicable law in respect of the use of that data following its transfer by Us.

How We store your Personal Data

Security

  • We take appropriate measures to ensure that all personal data is kept secure including security measures to prevent personal data from being accidentally lost, or used or accessed in an unauthorised way.

  • We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where We are legally required to do so.

  • Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although We will do Our best to protect your personal data, We cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted through any online means, therefore any transmission remains at your own risk.
