Remedy Recruitment Group is a recruitment business which provides work-finding services to its clients and work-seekers. The Company must process personal data (including sensitive personal data) so that it can provide these services – in doing so, the Company acts as a data controller.

Remedy Recruitment Group must have a legal basis for processing your personal data. For the purposes of providing you with work-finding services and/or information relating to roles relevant to you we will only use your personal data in accordance with this privacy statement.

Collection and use of personal data

Purpose of processing and legal basis

Remedy Recruitment Group will collect your personal data (which may include sensitive personal data) and will process your personal data for the purposes of providing you with work-finding services. This includes for example, contacting you about job opportunities, assessing your suitability for those opportunities, updating our databases, putting you forward for job opportunities, arranging payments to you and developing and managing our services and relationship with you and our clients.

If you have opted-in we may also send you marketing information and news via email/text.  You can opt-out from receiving these any time by clicking “unsubscribe” when you receive these communications from us.

In some cases we may be required to use your data for the purpose of investigating, reporting and detecting crime and also to comply with laws that apply to us. We may also use your information during the course of internal audits to demonstrate our compliance with certain industry standards.

We must have a legal basis to process your personal data. The legal bases we rely upon to offer our work-finding services to you are:

  • Your consent

  • Where we have a legitimate interest

  • To comply with a legal obligation that we have

  • To fulfil a contractual obligation that we have with you

Legitimate interest

This is where Remedy Recruitment Group   has a legitimate reason to process your data provided it is reasonable and does not go against what you would reasonably expect from us.  Where Remedy Recruitment Group has relied on a legitimate interest to process your personal data our legitimate interests are as follows:

  • Managing our database and keeping work-seeker records up to date

  • Providing work-finding services to you and our clients

  • Contacting you to seek your consent where we need it

  • Giving you information about similar services that you have used from us recently
     

Statutory/contractual requirement

Remedy Recruitment Group has certain legal and contractual requirements to collect personal data e.g. to comply with the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003, immigration and tax legislation, and in some circumstances safeguarding requirements.  Our clients may also require this personal data, and we need your data to enter into a contract with you.

If you do not give us personal data we need to collect we may not be able to continue to provide work-finding services to you.

This section applies to candidates who have not supplied their personal data directly to Remedy Recruitment Group

Remedy recruitment Group has collected some or all of the following personal data on you:

Categories of data:

Personal data:

  • Name

  • Address

  • DOB

  • Mobile/home number

  • Email address

  • Employment history

Remedy Recruitment Group sourced your personal data from:

  • Job boards that we subscribe to including but not limited to C.V. Library, Jobs, Reed, Total Jobs, Indeed, Local Press Subscriptions

  • LinkedIn

  • A former employer of yours that has referred you to us

  • Cookies

Some of the above information came from a publicly accessible source.

Overseas Transfers

Remedy Recruitment Group may transfer the information you provide to us to countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) for the purposes of providing you with work-finding services.  We will take steps to ensure adequate protections are in place to ensure the security of your information.  The EEA comprises the EU member states plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.

Data retention

Remedy Recruitment Group will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purpose we collect it. Different laws may also require us to keep different data for different periods of time. For example, the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003, require us to keep work-seeker records for at least one year from (a) the date of their creation or (b) after the date on which we last provide you with work-finding services.

We must also keep your payroll records, holiday pay, sick pay and pensions auto-enrolment records for as long as is legally required by HMRC and associated national minimum wage, social security and tax legislation. This is currently 3 to 6 years.

We will keep personal data obtained from job boards that we subscribe too for 18 months from the date it was obtained.  The reason for this is that trends in education show that candidates are more than likely to change jobs within the year.  We will therefore contact you within that period about job opportunities.  If we have no meaningful contact with you after this period, your data will be deleted.

We will retain safeguarding information indefinitely. We retain this information in order to ensure that we are aware of any substantiated safeguarding issues relating to you in the event of any future applications you may submit to us.
