Purpose of and Justification for Processing

 

  1. Processing your data in respect of a specific role

 

Your information is being processed for the purposes of providing recruitment services to both you and our Clients. The information we keep during this period will include your CV (where you have provided this either directly of via a registered Job Board and any other associated data requested from you directly).

 

This information enables us to assess your work related capabilities, experience and location and determine if you would be a suitable candidate for our Clients’ requirements. Where a potential match is determined the contact information provided also allows us to get in touch with you to discuss this. Carol McGeary Recruitment and Consultancy does not engage in automated decision making or profiling so your data will have been personally vetted to ensure suitability in the first place.

 

During the registration stage, we are processing your data on the basis of our legitimate interests and in order to take steps to enter into a potential recruitment contract under which you will provide services to our Client. 

 

  1. Using your data to engage with a Client prior to potential placement

 

After discussing the specific role with you personally, you will be asked to agree for us to commence processing your data and to grant the Right to Represent you and to communicate your personal information to the Client.  Once your agreement has been received in writing via email, we will transfer your CV, unaltered other than the removal of your direct contact details, to the Client for their perusal.

 

At this stage, which may include vetting, we may ask you to disclose further information as requested by Client. Right to Represent is obtained from you on a role by role basis and does not persist beyond the stated role in respect of which we are processing your data.

 

Please be aware that without your specific written agreement to process your data and for our Right to Represent you to the Client we will not be able to process your data and therefore, your application, further.

 

During the placement stage we continue to process your personal information on the basis of our legitimate interests and in order to take steps to enter into a potential recruitment contract with our Client to provide your services as an employee to that Client. 

 

  1. Successful selection

 

If a Client seeks to engage and wishes to make an offer, we will contact you to confirm your agreement to that offer or to relay back to the Client any counter proposals.

 

At this time and in order to comply with our contract with the Client, and with statutory requirements on us as an Employment Intermediary, we may ask you for additional information. 

 

At the stage of engagement and thereafter we may also process your personal data where allowed by law, for example, to protect your vital interests. 

 

  1. Engagement

 

During your engagement with a Client the Client will become the Data Controller for all purposes connected with the agreed role.

 

At this time, all enquiries relating to processing of personal data by the Client should be directed to the Client as per the details provided by the Client accordingly.

.

  1. After commencement of role

 

Once your commencement date has been reached, we may hold your data for a period of warranty with the Client, normally 12 weeks from the date of commencement.

 

At the end of that period, your personal data will be permanently deleted.

  1. Requests to Stop Processing and access to data

 

Our processing of your personal data is based mainly on our legitimate interests and performance of our legal obligations. You may request us to stop processing your data or transfer your data to a Client at any time but to do so will prevent us from considering your candidacy for the discussed role accordingly.
