We may process the following information at the recruitment stage:

  • Personal contact details including name, address and email;
  • Information collected during the recruitment process such as your CV/application (including details of previous work experience, education and references) and answers to any interview/recruitment questions relevant to the role you applied for;

In most cases this information will be obtained directly from you, however, we may collect your personal details, details of your application and details of your experience and qualifications from the recruitment agency you applied via (where applicable).

With the exception of the equal opportunities information, this information is necessary for us to decide whether to enter into a contract with you. You are not obliged to provide this but if you fail to do so we may be unable to process your application and, if appropriate, offer you employment. The equal opportunities form is not mandatory and there are no consequences if you fail to provide it.

Conditional Offer/Shortlisted

We may process the following information after you have been shortlisted and/or as part of a conditional job offer:

  • Proof of your identity (such as driving licence) and any relevant right to work checks. Details of your right to work may be provided to us by the Home Office;
  • Proof of your qualifications – you will be asked to attend our office with original documents, we will take copies;
  • Depending on your role, you may be asked to complete an application for a Basic Criminal Record check via the Disclosure and Barring Service (“DBS”) which will verify your declaration of unspent convictions. We will then get details of your criminal convictions from DBS;
  • We will contact your referees (with express consent), using the details you provide in your application, directly to obtain references. They may then provide information to us about your work history.

The above is part of a conditional offer of employment and therefore you are obliged to provide this as it is a contractual requirement, necessary to enable us to enter into a contract with you. Right to work checks and the DBS check are statutory requirements which you are obliged to provide. A failure to provide this data may result in us being unable to offer you employment.

The purposes of processing

  • For recruitment purposes i.e. to ensure you are suitable for the role being advertised and so we can contact you about this role;
  • To comply with legal obligations including right to work checks;
  • To seek professional advice advice/defend claims arising from the recruitment process;
  • In relation to the equal opportunities form, to monitor equality in recruitment practices.

Legal basis for processing

We process your personal data on the basis of consent and/or because it is necessary for our legitimate interests, namely to ensure that you are qualified and suitable for the role you are applying for, to ensure we are not exposed to risk by ensuring recruitment would not contravene the law and to ensure we have a record of the recruitment process for the establishment and defence of legal claims.
We process details of your right to work and DBS checks in line with our legal requirements to do so.

Sharing your data

Your data will be shared internally with the recruitment team which consists of HR, the interviewing staff and managers at the company (and their subordinates and support staff as appropriate) to the extent necessary to allow them to carry out their roles or, where appropriate, in line with business needs.
