What data we collect

We collect personal data when you interact with us through this website, by email, by phone, or through LinkedIn. This may include your name, email address, phone number, job title, employer, career history, CV or resume, salary expectations, and any other information you choose to share with us in the course of a recruitment conversation.

If you use our contact or candidate registration forms, we collect the information you submit through those forms. We do not collect data from third-party sources without informing you.

How we use your data

We use your personal data to:

• Assess your suitability for roles we are recruiting for
• Contact you about relevant career opportunities

• Provide recruitment services to our clients
• Comply with legal obligations

We process your data under one or more of the following lawful bases: your consent, our legitimate interests as a recruitment business, the performance of a contract, or compliance with a legal obligation.

Who we share your data with

We share your personal data with prospective employers only with your explicit consent and only for roles you have agreed to be submitted for. We will always tell you which company we are submitting your details to before doing so.

We may also share data with service providers who help us operate our business, such as our website hosting provider (Vercel), email service provider, and CRM platform. These providers process data on our behalf and are bound by data processing agreements.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not share your data for marketing purposes.

How long we keep your data

We retain candidate data for up to two years from our last meaningful interaction with you, unless you ask us to delete it sooner. Client data is retained for the duration of our business relationship and for up to six years afterwards for legal and accounting purposes.

If you are placed in a role through us, we retain records relating to that placement for six years in line with our legal obligations.

Cookies

This website uses only essential cookies required for the site to function. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies unless you have given explicit consent.

If we introduce analytics in future, we will update this policy and implement a cookie consent mechanism before any non-essential cookies are set.

Our website is hosted on Vercel, which processes data in data centers located in the United States and other countries. Where your data is transferred internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information.

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, destruction, or alteration. All data transmitted through our website is encrypted using TLS (HTTPS).
