2. Information we collect

Candidates

When you register with us, submit your CV or speak with a consultant, we collect your name, email address, phone number, current location, field of work, experience level and the contents of your CV. This can include your employment history, education, skills, salary expectations and other details you choose to give us.

If you write to us or message us on WhatsApp, we keep the content of the conversation.

3. How we use your information

  • To respond to your enquiry, form submission or message.
  • To assess candidates, match them to vacancies and contact them about suitable roles.
  • To understand an employer's hiring needs, search for candidates and manage placements.
  • To provide career guidance, CV review and interview preparation.
  • To keep records, meet legal and accounting obligations and handle complaints.

Where the law requires a legal basis for using your information, we rely on your consent, on the need to respond to your request or perform a service you asked for, on our legitimate interest in running a recruitment business, and on our legal obligations, depending on the situation.

4. Who we share it with

We share a candidate's CV and details with an employer only after the candidate has agreed to that specific introduction. We do not sell personal information.

We use service providers that help us run the website and our business, such as website hosting, form processing, email, messaging and analytics providers. They may process information on our behalf and only for the services they provide to us. Some of these providers may store data outside your country. We may also disclose information where the law requires it, or to protect our legal rights.

5. How long we keep it

We keep candidate records for as long as you remain registered with us and for [FILL IN: retention period for inactive candidate records, e.g. 24 months] after our last contact with you, unless you ask us to delete them sooner or the law requires us to keep them longer. Employer and enquiry records are kept for as long as they are needed for the relationship and for our legal and accounting obligations. When a retention period ends, we delete or anonymise the information.

6. Cookies and analytics

Cookies are small files stored on your device. This website uses only the cookies and similar storage described below.

  • Essential storage. Your browser may store a small amount of information to remember your cookie choice and whether you have closed the enquiry pop-up. This does not identify you.
  • Analytics. Where we have enabled Google Analytics 4, it is switched off until you choose Accept in the cookie notice. If you accept, it records how visitors use the site, such as pages viewed and buttons clicked, so we can improve it. If you choose Decline, or make no choice, analytics cookies are not set.

You can change your choice at any time by clearing this website's stored data in your browser settings. The cookie notice then appears again on your next visit.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to or restrict certain uses, to receive a copy in a portable format, and to withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the use of your information before you withdrew it.

To use any of these rights, write to [FILL IN: general email]. We may ask you to confirm your identity first. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you may also complain to the data protection authority in your country.

8. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect personal information, including restricting access to those who need it for their work. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Changes and contact

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last changed. For questions about this policy, contact us at [FILL IN: general email] or through our contact page.
