We use personal information:
- To provide a requested service or contract - Where we are asked by clients under our legitimate business interest to suggest potential candidates who may be appropriate for a specific role.
- Where we have your consent - We will contact you to discuss an opportunity and only provide further information to the client with your consent.
- Where we have a legitimate interest - The data we collect will be used only in relation to our executive search and assessment activities. Legitimate interest means that we do not require consent from the data subject.

Who do we share Personal Information with?
We share your personal information with a client who has a position to fill, in order to determine with the client whether you are a good fit for the available position. This client may be a recruitment firm working on behalf of an end client with a position to fill, or it may be a client who themselves has a position to fill. We may also share your personal information with a client who is interested in assessing potential candidates for future vacancies e.g. during talent mapping and talent pipelining exercises. We follow the same guidelines whether candidates are based within the EEA or outside. Where our client or a role is outside the EEA we might transfer personal information outside the EEA, but always using the same guidelines in obtaining consent.
How long do we keep personal information for?
Whether you are based within the EEA or outside, our policy is to retain personal data for the respective statutory retention period whether we are holding this data under legitimate interest or with an individual’s consent. After expiration of that period, data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfilment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
Do we make automated decisions concerning you?
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
How will we contact you?
We may contact you by phone, email or social media.
Security of your personal data
We will take reasonable precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information. Of course, data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure and we cannot guarantee the security of data over the internet.
What are your rights?
Further information and advice about your rights can be obtained from the data protection regulator in your country.
