Teamtailor’s technology enables us to search various databases, which may include your personal data, to find possible candidates to fill our job openings. Where we find you in this way we will obtain your personal data from these sources.

In some cases, existing employees can make recommendations about potential applicants and may add personal data about such potential applicants. In the cases where this is made, the potential applicant will be informed about the processing.

Uses Made of Your Information

LAWFUL BASIS FOR PROCESSING

We rely on legitimate interest as the lawful basis on which we collect and use your personal data. Our legitimate interests are the recruitment of staff for our business. Where we process any special category data about you, we do that to comply with our obligations under employment law.

We use information held about you in the following ways:

• To consider your application in respect of a role for which you have applied.

Any final decision as to who we will engage to fill the job opening will be made by our staff.
