Data will be stored in a range of different places, including recruitment tracking spreadsheets, on our file server and on other IT systems (including email).

Why do we hold this information?
We have a legitimate business interest in processing data, in order to assess your suitability for future employment with the Company and decide whom to offer a role. We may also need to process data to ensure that we are complying with our legal obligations. For example, checking a successful applicant’s eligibility to work in the UK before employment starts.

If your application is unsuccessful, we may keep your personal data on file in case there are future employment opportunities for which you may be suited. We will ask for your consent before we keep your data for this purpose and you are free to withdraw your consent at any time.

Your information may be shared internally only for the purposes of the recruitment exercise. This includes members of our operations team (HR and Finance), management and hiring managers involved in the recruitment process. IT staff will also have access to this data, as it is necessary for the performance of their roles. We will not share your data with third parties, unless your application for employment is successful and we make you an offer of employment. We will then share your data with former employers to obtain references for you, employment background check providers to obtain necessary background checks. Your information may also be shared internally within our global network to Head Office, located in Montreal, as part of our internal processing to ensure accurate record keeping.

How do we protect data?
We take the security of your data seriously. We have internal policies and controls in place to ensure that your data is not lost, accidentally destroyed, misused or disclosed, and is not accessed except by our employees in the proper performance of their duties.

How long do we keep your data?
If your application for employment is unsuccessful, the organisation will hold your data on file for 6 months after the end of the relevant recruitment process. If you agree to allow us to keep your personal data on file, we will hold your data on file for a further 6 months for consideration for future employment opportunities. At the end of that period, or once you withdraw your consent, your data is deleted or destroyed. You will be asked when you submit your CV whether you give us consent to hold your details for the full 12 months in order to be considered for other positions or not. If your application for employment is successful, personal data gathered during the recruitment process will be transferred to your Human Resources file (electronic and paper-based) and retained during your employment.
