The main service we as a business offer is the introduction of candidates to our clients for the purpose of permanent, contract, or temporary employment/engagement.

As a recruitment business and recruitment agency we introduce candidates to clients for permanent employment, temporary worker placements or independent professional contracts. The exchange of personal data between our candidates and our client contacts is a fundamental, essential part of this process.

In order to support our candidates' career progression and job searches, and our clients' resourcing needs, we utilise a database of candidate and client personal data containing historical information as well as current and future resourcing requirements. To maintain, expand and develop our business we need to record the personal data of prospective candidates and client contacts.

Should we want, or need, to rely on consent to lawfully process your data we will request your consent orally, by email or by an online process for the specific activity we require consent for and record your response on our system. Where consent is the lawful basis for our processing, you have the right to withdraw your consent to this particular processing at any time.

Please contact us via email to notify us of the withdrawal of your consent, and we will ensure that your request is dealt with within 28 days of your request.
