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..

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.
