What we collect

• When you send an enquiry: your name, company, contact details and the details of the role or question.
• When you browse: standard server logs (IP address, pages requested) for security. Jobs you “save” are stored in your own browser, not sent to us.
• If you accept analytics cookies: Google Analytics records how the site is used, such as pages viewed, how you arrived, your type of device and rough location. It doesn’t store IP addresses. See the cookies page.

• To consider you for the role you applied for and similar roles, and to contact you about them — with your consent, which you give when you submit the form, and our legitimate interest in providing recruitment services.
• To introduce you to a client — only after we’ve discussed the role with you and you’ve agreed.
• To reply to enquiries from businesses — our legitimate interest.
• To understand how the website is used (Google Analytics) — your consent, which you can withdraw on the cookies page.
