What information do we collect?
We collect a range of information about you including:
This data is collected in a variety of ways. For example, data might be in your application forms, your CV, obtained from your passport or identity document or collected through interviews and other forms of assessment. We may also collect personal data about you from third parties, such as references supplied by former employers.
Data will be stored in different places,including on your application record, in the HR management system and on other IT systems (including email).
Why do we process personal data?
We need to process your data in order to be able to enter into a contract of employment with you and to ensure that we are complying with our legal obligations. For example, we are required to check a successful applicant's eligibility to work in the UK before employment starts.
The Company has a legitimate reason for collecting personal data during the recruitment process and for keeping records of the process. Processing data from job applicants allows the organisation to manage the recruitment process, to assess and confirm a candidate's suitability for employment and decide who to offer a job to. The Company may also need to process data from job applicants to respond to and defend against legal claims.
The Company uses health information provided to determine any reasonable adjustments that would need to be made for candidates who have a disability.
We process other special categories of data, such as information about ethnic origin, sexual orientation, health or religion or belief; this is for equal opportunities monitoring purposes.
We are obliged to request information about criminal convictions and offences. This is to allow us to carry out our obligations in relation to employment.
