Privacy Notice for Job-Seekers Using Website
As part of our recruitment and selection process, the company collects and processes personal data relating to job applicants. The company is committed to being transparent about how it collects and uses that data and to meeting its General Data Protection obligations.
What information does the company collect?
The company collects a range of information about you. This may include:
- your name, address and contact details, including email address and telephone number
- details of your qualifications, skills, experience and employment history
- information about your current level of remuneration, including benefit entitlements and notice period
- whether or not you have a disability for which the company needs to make reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process
- information about your nationality and entitlement to work in the UK; and
- equal opportunities monitoring information regarding your gender
The company can collect this information in a variety of ways. For example, data might be contained in your CV, obtained from your passport or other identity documents, or collected through the interview process.
The company will seek information from third parties only once a job offer to you has been made and will inform you that it is doing so.
Data will be stored in a range of different places, including on your application record, on our HR management system and on other IT systems (including email) and paper records.
Why does the Company process personal data?
The company needs to process data to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract with you. It also needs to process your data to enter into a contract with you.
In some cases, the company needs to process data to ensure that it is complying with its legal obligations. For example, it is required to check a successful applicant's eligibility to work in the UK before employment starts.
The company has a legitimate interest in processing personal data during the recruitment process and for keeping records of the process. Processing data from job applications allows the company to manage the recruitment process, assess and confirm a candidate's suitability for employment and make an offer to the most suitable candidate. The company may also need to process data from job applicants to respond to and defend against legal claims.
The company processes health information if it needs to make reasonable adjustments to the recruitment process for candidates who have a disability, to enable them to attend for interview and participate fully. This is to carry out its obligations and exercise specific rights in relation to employment.
Where the company processes other special categories of data, such as information about disability, gender or nationality, this is for equal opportunities monitoring purposes.
If your application is unsuccessful, the company may keep your personal data on file in case there are future employment opportunities which may be suited to you. The organisation will ask for your consent before it keeps your data for this purpose and you are free to withdraw your consent at any time.
Who has access to your data?
Your information will be shared internally for the purposes of the recruitment exercise. This includes interviewers involved in the recruitment process, managers in the business area with a vacancy and IT staff if access to the data is necessary for the performance of their roles.
The company will not share your data with third parties, unless your application for employment is successful and you accept an offer of employment. The company will then potentially share your relevant data with future employers to obtain references for you, employment background check providers to obtain necessary background checks.
We will not transfer your data outside of the EU.
How does the company protect data?
The company takes the security of your data seriously. It has internal policies and controls in place to ensure that your data is not lost, accidentally destroyed, misused or disclosed, and is only accessed by our employees in the proper performance of their duties.
For how long does the company keep data?
If your application for employment is unsuccessful, the company will hold your data on file for 6 months from the end of the relevant recruitment process. At the end of that period, or once you withdraw your consent, your data is deleted.
If your application for employment is successful, you will be issued with a new Privacy Notice covering your employment.
