2. LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We aim to provide excellent services to our customers and candidates. In the case of providing employment business services, we aim to create the best match between open vacancies and candidates. We aim to create the best possible solution to meet the requirements of our clients. To do this, we will need to process data about you.
We hold and process your data in pursuit of our legitimate interest in providing services to our candidates and clients. “Legitimate interest” means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service/product and the best and most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). It is in our legitimate interests to decide whether to appoint you or put you forward for a particular role because it is beneficial to our business to seek to fulfil vacancies. You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us.
In the case of the provision of employment business services, once we place a candidate with one of our clients, the data is held as part of the contractual and legal obligation that we have as a recruitment agency and recruitment business as defined in the Employment Agencies and Employment Business Regulations 2003.
