This policy explains how we handle personal information relating to candidates, client contacts, people who contact us and visitors to our website.
The information we collect depends on your relationship with us. It may include:
Please avoid sending sensitive personal information unless it is relevant and we have discussed why it is needed. Where we need to process information requiring additional legal protection, we will explain the purpose and applicable legal basis.
We collect information directly from you when you contact us, submit your CV, discuss an opportunity or use our services.
We may also obtain relevant professional information from LinkedIn to identify and contact individuals about suitable career opportunities. This may include your name, professional contact details, current role and employment history.
LinkedIn’s privacy policy explains how LinkedIn handles your information. Home Recruitment is separately responsible for how it uses information obtained from LinkedIn for its recruitment services.
We may receive relevant information from prospective employers, including interview feedback and updates about recruitment processes in which you are participating.
We use personal information to:
Where we send promotional communications, we do so in accordance with applicable marketing rules. You can ask us to stop at any time by contacting contact@home-recruitment.com or using any unsubscribe option provided.
We process personal information under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018, as amended.
We rely on the following lawful bases, depending on the activity.
Legitimate interests
We use relevant professional and contact information where necessary to provide recruitment services, identify suitable candidates, discuss relevant opportunities, maintain business relationships, respond to enquiries and protect our website and business.
We consider whether these activities are necessary and balance our interests against your rights, interests and reasonable expectations.
Consent
We obtain your consent before sharing your CV or identifiable candidate information with a prospective employer. Consent may be given verbally or in writing, and we keep a record of your agreement.
We also rely on consent for optional Google Analytics and for marketing communications where consent is required.
You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us or, for website analytics, changing your cookie settings. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
Contract
We use information where necessary to fulfil a contract with you or take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
Legal obligations
We use information where necessary to comply with applicable legal requirements.
Providing personal information is generally voluntary. However, without information relevant to an enquiry or recruitment process, we may be unable to assist you or progress an introduction.
We will only share your CV or identifiable candidate information with a prospective employer after obtaining your consent for the introduction.
Once a prospective employer receives your information, it is responsible for its own processing and should provide its own privacy information.
Where necessary, we may also share relevant information with:
Access is limited to what is needed for the relevant purpose. Providers processing information on our behalf are subject to appropriate contractual requirements.
We do not sell your personal information.
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.
Access is restricted to authorised people and service providers who need it for their work.
No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. If you have concerns about sending particular information, please contact us to discuss an appropriate method.
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy.
When deciding how long to retain information, we consider:
We review information and delete or anonymise it when it is no longer needed.
Where you ask us not to contact you, we may retain a minimal record of that preference so that we can respect your request.
Our website uses browser storage to remember your privacy choice and, with your permission, Google Analytics to measure website use.
Remembering your choice
When you select Allow or Decline, the website stores your choice in your browser’s local storage under the name hr_cookies.
Local storage is separate from cookies. We use this entry to remember your preference.
Optional Google Analytics
Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager load only after you select Allow.
Google Analytics uses cookies to measure activity such as visits, pages viewed and traffic sources. If you select Decline, these Google services do not load.
Google Tag Manager manages the deployment of website tags. Allowing analytics does not give us permission to use your information for unrelated purposes.
Changing your choice
You can withdraw your permission for optional analytics at any time. Select “Cookie settings” in the footer of any page to reopen the cookie notice, then select “Decline”.
This stops Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager from loading on later pages and removes the Google Analytics cookies we have set.
We also keep a note of your choice in your browser’s local storage, which you can clear in your browser settings.
Server logs and hosting statistics
Our hosting provider processes server logs to operate, secure and monitor the website and produce traffic statistics.
These logs may include IP addresses, requested pages, access times and browser information. Hosting statistics are generated from server records and do not depend on Google Analytics cookies.
Depending on the circumstances and the lawful basis used, you may have the right to:
Your right to object
You may object to processing based on legitimate interests. We will consider your objection and stop processing unless we have a lawful reason to continue.
You have the right to object to the use of your personal information for direct marketing at any time.
To exercise your rights, contact contact@home-recruitment.com.
We may need to verify your identity before responding. We normally respond within one month, subject to any extensions or exceptions permitted by law.
If you have concerns about how we handle your information, please contact us at contact@home-recruitment.com so that we can investigate.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK’s data protection regulator.
