​

We think it’s reasonable to expect that, if you are looking for employment or have posted your professional CV information on a job board or professional networking site, you recognise that it is fair to collect that public information and otherwise use your personal data to provide our recruitment services, use that to approach you as an onsite recruiter, to share that information with prospective employers and assess your skills against our live vacancies.
