The exchange of our candidates' and client contacts' personal data is a fundamental part of this process. We require a database of candidate and client personal data containing historical information and current resourcing requirements to support our candidates' career aspirations and our clients' resourcing needs. To maintain, expand, and develop our business, we need to record the personal data of prospective candidates and client contacts. As a work-seeker, you have responded to an advertisement we placed or actively pursued work-seeking services via a job board or other third-party portal and have been added to our database. As a client, you have expressed an interest in using or have previously used recruitment businesses to source suitable candidates, and they have been added to our database.
