Privacy Policy

We collect the information necessary to be able to find available opportunities and further information needed to assess your eligibility through the different stages of recruitment. This information includes CV’s, identification documents, educational records, work history, employment and references. We may also collect sensitive personal data about you, we only collect sensitive personal data from you, and further process this data, where you have given your explicit consent.

The following are the different sources we may collect personal data about you from:

• 1. Directly from you. This is information you provide while searching for a new opportunity and/or during the different recruitment stages.
• 2. From an agent/third party acting on your behalf. e.g. Interim Management Company.
• 3. Through publicly available sources. We use the following public sources:
  • LinkedIn
  • Not Actively Looking
  • Media
  • Publicly Available Information (eg Regulatory News Service)
• 4. By Reference or word of mouth. For example, you may be recommended by a friend, a former employer, a former colleague or even a present employer.

We use your personal data to match your skills, experience and education with a potential employer. We will initially collect basic information on you such as contact details, job role and experience and then pass this on to the client in search of personnel. If you are chosen by the client and go through to the next stage we will then be collecting more information from you at the interview (or equivalent) stage and onwards in that manner. If you are actively seeking a new role, we will approach potential new employers on your behalf. In this instance, we will use your personal data in order to understand more about you and to assist you with understanding your skills and areas for improvement or future opportunities and options.

We only retain your information for as long as is necessary for us to use your information as described above or to comply with our legal obligations. However, please be advised that we may retain some of your information after you cease to use our services, for instance if this is necessary to meet our legal obligations, such as retaining the information for tax and accounting purposes.

When determining the relevant retention periods, we will take into account factors including:

• (a) our contractual obligations and rights in relation to the information involved;
• (b) legal obligation(s) under applicable law to retain data for a certain period of time;
• (c) our legitimate interest where we have carried out a balancing test (see legal basis below);
• (d) statute of limitations under applicable law(s);
• (e) (potential) disputes;
• (f) if you have made a request to have your information deleted;
• (g) guidelines issued by relevant data protection authorities.

Otherwise, we securely erase your information where we no longer require your information for the purposes collected.

Your personal data is shared with the client who may have a position to fill. We share your data in order to determine with the client whether you are a good fit for their organisation.

For prospective candidates, interim management consultants, referees and clients, our processing is necessary for our legitimate interests in that we need the 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.

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 opportunities.

No, we do not carry out automated profiling.

To provide better service to you on our websites, we use Google Analytics to analyse the use of our website. Our analytics service provider’s privacy policy is available at

We use IP Address tracking software to identify businesses and organisations visiting our website and the pages that are being viewed. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic in order to develop and improve our website experience for business visitors.

To better match your employee profile with current opportunities we may transfer your personal data to clients and partners in countries outside the EEA. These countries privacy laws may be different from those in your home country. Where we transfer data to a country which has not been deemed to provide adequate data protection standards we always have security measures and approved model clauses in place to protect your personal data. To find out more about how we safeguard your information as related to transfers

By law, you have a number of rights when it comes to your personal data. Further information and advice about your rights can be obtained from the data protection regulator in your country.

You have the right to be provided with clear, transparent and easily understandable information about how we use your information and your rights. This is why we’re providing you with the information in this Policy.

You have the right to obtain access to your information (if we’re processing it), and certain other information (similar to that provided in this Privacy Policy). This is so you’re aware and can check that we’re using your information in accordance with data protection law.

You are entitled to have your information corrected if it’s inaccurate or incomplete.

This is also known as ‘the right to be forgotten’ and, in simple terms, enables you to request the deletion or removal of your information where there’s no compelling reason for us to keep using it.

This is not a general right to erasure; there are exceptions.

You have rights to ‘block’ or suppress further use of your information. When processing is restricted, we can still store your information, but may not use it further. We keep lists of people who have asked for further use of their information to be ‘blocked’ to make sure the restriction is respected in future.

You have rights to obtain and reuse your personal data for your own purposes across different services. For example, if you decide to switch to a new provider, this enables you to move, copy or transfer your information easily between our IT systems and theirs safely and securely, without affecting its usability.

You have the right to object to certain types of processing, including processing for direct marketing (i.e. if you no longer want to be contacted with potential opportunities).

You have the right to lodge a complaint about the way we handle or process your personal data with your national data protection regulator.

If you have given your consent to anything we do with your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time (although if you do so, it does not mean that anything we have done with your personal data with your consent up to that point is unlawful). This includes your right to withdraw consent to us using your personal data for marketing purposes.

We usually act on requests and provide information free of charge, but may charge a reasonable fee to cover our administrative costs of providing the information for:

• a). baseless or excessive/repeated requests,
• b). further copies of the same information.

Alternatively, we may be entitled to refuse to act on the request. Please consider your request responsibly before submitting it. We’ll respond as soon as we can. Generally, this will be within one month from when we receive your request but, if the request is going to take longer to deal with, we’ll come back to you and let you know.

We may contact you by phone, email or social media. If you prefer a particular means of contact over another please just let us know.

If you are unhappy with how we’ve handled your information or have further questions on the processing of your personal data, contact us
