GDPR Statement
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union Regulation that sets out the data entitlements of data subjects and the obligations of those who process the personal data of data subjects. GDPR seeks to protect and enhance the rights of data subjects. These rights cover the safeguarding of personal data, protection against the unlawful processing of personal data and the unrestricted movement of personal data within the EU.
Generally, the type of personal information we collect about you is the information included in your application or resume, for example, your name, mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address, career history, details of any competency tests or other information relating to your career.

Where practical we collect your personal information directly from you. We may collect personal information about you when you deal with us by telephone, letter, e-mail, or visit or submit a query or CV through our website.
In some circumstances, we may also collect sensitive information about you such as information about your collage qualifications, membership of a professional or trade association or any criminal record that you may have. Where we collect this type of information we will obtain your consent prior to doing so.
We guarantee that no confidential information we have collected from you will be passed to any third party such as employers or others without your prior consent. Neither do we sell or broker your data to third parties.
