Candidates

We may collect the following information:

  • Name and job title
  • Contact information including email address and telephone number
  • Demographic information such as postcode, preferences, salary and interests
  • Other information relevant helping you find job opportunities (your CV)

We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:

  • Finding you relevant job opportunities.
  • Forwarding your CV (minus contact details) to clients whom we feel may be interested in your services.
  • To inform you of job opportunities we believe will be of interest to you.
  • Internal record keeping.

We may use the information to improve our products and services.
We may periodically send promotional email about new products, special offers or other information which we think you may find interesting using the email address which you have provided.
From time to time, we may also use your information to contact you for market research purposes. We may contact you by email, phone, fax or mail.
We may use the information to customize the website according to your interests.
We may also release information relating to you to regulatory or law enforcement authorities.

You can submit your CV to us via the website or by email. Your CV will be stored in our CRM database. The search functionality in our database means your data can be searched and accessed by any of our recruitment consultants in any of our Group companies in the UK, Australia, Singapore or the US. It is your responsibility to keep that data we hold up to date and this can be done by resubmitting your CV at any time.

If you take up contract work, you will need to input your timesheet data online, which we will process so we can invoice employers and pay you. We will store the timesheet data in the UK, and each Group company will only access its own data. For example, if you take up contract work with an Australian employer, our Australian Group company will store your data in the UK and access the data from Australia; no other Group company will be able to access or search your timesheet data.

You can update your CV at any time, simply by following the same procedure to submit a new CV.

Security

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic, managerial and contractual procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

Aggregate information about online visitors

We gather information and statistics about all visitors to our website (e.g. which area users access most frequently or which services users access the most). We only use this kind of data in aggregate form. The information helps us to identify the services most beneficial to our users. It also helps us to continually improve our online services and provide a better overall experience to our users. We may publish some of this information on the website. We may also undertake marketing profiling to help us identify services or jobs which may be of interest to you.
