Wherever your data originates from, your data will only be used to find you a position with one of our clients. We will contact you every time we would like to submit your details to a client.

Our Legitimate Business Interests:

As a recruitment agency, we introduce candidates to clients for temporary work, permanent employment, or independent professional contracts. The exchange of our candidates’ and clients’ personal data is required to help candidates find work. To support the growth of the business we are required to maintain a database of candidates and their personal data to meet and match against the needs of our clients.

We use information held about you in the following ways:

To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts we intend to enter into or have entered into between you and us and to provide you with the information, products, and services that you request from us or we think will be of interest to you because it is relevant to your career or to your organisation.

To provide you with information about other services we offer that are similar to those that you have already purchased, been provided with, or enquired about. 

Your personal data is stored on our servers which are in the UK.  Some third-party portals are used by Evolve’s clients, and from time to time your data may be required to be submitted to these systems. We work closely with third parties including payment and other services, professional advisors, and client-managed service providers. We may receive information about you from them or be required to provide information to them for the purposes of our recruitment services and ancillary support services.

Prior to providing your personal data we will let you know and obtain consent before proceeding with these submissions. 

We do not undertake automated decision making or profiling. We do use our computer systems to search and identify personal data in accordance with parameters set by a consultant. A person will always be involved in the decision-making process.

We also use your data to notify you about changes to our service, inform you of relevant legislation or to measure customer satisfaction.

Consent

Should we want or need to rely on consent to lawfully process your data we will request your consent by email for the specific activity we require consent for and record your response on our system. Where consent is the lawful basis for our processing you have the right to withdraw your consent to this particular processing at any time.

How long do we keep your data?

Our retention policy is driven by the recognition that our market sectors often require experienced support for long-term projects and that engineering, technical and professional candidates are a valuable yet finite resource.
