2. Information we receive from other sources

We work closely with third parties including sub-contractors in technical, accounts, human resources, advertising networks, search consultants. We will notify you when we receive information about you from them and the purposes for which we intend to use that information.

Where you give us permission to apply for a vacancy advertised by a prospective client on your behalf, we may receive that client’s opinions and feedback on your application. This may include, for example, feedback on your CV or any interview you attend which may be provided to us over the telephone or via email.

We may be required to carry out right to work checks, fraud protection, criminal background checks and credit checks. In performing these checks we may receive information from external third party search providers assisting us with these checks.

3. How long do we keep the information for?

If we cannot find a suitable role for you upon your initial application, we may retain your application data and will contact you in the future if a suitable vacancy arises. We maintain this information to ensure we offer you suitable roles and will keep such information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the likelihood of a suitable role arising where you are applying for a job, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

You can update your CV at any time. You can do this via our website using the same method that you used to apply or through one of our recruitment consultants.
