These mediums are given parameters on the requirements of the search through publicly available sources.

For prospective candidates, contractors, partners, suppliers, referees and clients, our processing is necessary for our legitimate interests – we need this information in order to be able to assess suitability for potential solutions and engagement. We carry out a ‘balancing test’ to ensure that our processing is necessary and that your fundamental rights of privacy are not outweighed by our legitimate interests before we go ahead with such processing. Where we need consent for some additional essential activities, we will ask for it. We rely on soft opt-in consent for these activities where you have previously engaged with us by submitting a CV, applying for a job, seeking a solution or registering on our website.
If you do not provide the personal data necessary or withdraw your consent for the processing of your personal data, we may not be able to be able to provide our services to you.
