Website analytics

If you allow optional analytics, Google Analytics helps us understand website visits, sources and contact activity. See our cookie noticefor what is collected, storage and how to withdraw consent. Enquiry text, form fields and CV contents are not sent to analytics.

Information we may collect

Some business outreach emails include an individual reference in a link to our website. When that link is requested, we record a request count and time against the email to help understand interest and manage follow-up. Forwarded links and automated security checks can generate requests, so these records do not prove who read a brief. This measurement uses no tracking pixel or additional cookie. The reference is excluded from Google Analytics, and you can ask us to stop business development contact.

We may collect your name, work email, phone number, job title, employer, LinkedIn or public professional profile, recruitment brief, hiring requirements, role details, interview feedback, commercial communications, and records of our conversations.

Why we use it and lawful bases

We use client contact and brief information to respond to enquiries, understand hiring needs, discuss possible recruitment support, manage candidate shortlists, arrange interviews, keep business records, and protect our legal position.

Our usual lawful bases are legitimate interests in running a recruitment business and communicating with business contacts, pre-contract or contract steps where services are being discussed or provided, and legal obligation where records must be retained.

Sharing

We may share relevant client brief information with candidates, service providers who support email, hosting, document storage, or business operations, and professional advisers where needed. We do not sell client contact data.

Retention

We keep client contact and brief records for as long as needed to manage the relationship, handle recruitment work, maintain business records, and respond to legal or contractual queries. We review old records and delete or minimise data when it is no longer needed.

Your rights

You can ask to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to our use of your personal data. You can also ask us to stop business development contact. Some rights depend on the lawful basis and context.

You can complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk if you are unhappy with how we handle your data.
