Where we collect Personal Data about you from

The following are the different sources we may collect personal data about you from:

• Directly from you:
  this encompasses all information you provide directly to us whilst searching for a new opportunity and/or at any stage of the recruitment process.

• Via sources in the public domain: including but not limited to Social Media, LinkedIn and Job Boards.

• By referrals: you may be recommended to us by a friend, employer or colleague.

Where we collect your information through publicly available sources as set out above, we may do this with the aid of software programs such as Bullhorn. These programs are given parameters on the requirements of a role and search through publicly available sources to find such candidates. These programs are designed to only output information on candidates that meet the search criteria. The parameters of this program are restricted to only searching for [Name and Job title] candidate information from public sites where there is a reasonable expectation that such information may be collected and further processed by job recruiters for the purpose of sourcing candidates for different job roles.
