RCruits may collect your personal details, including but not limited to your name, contact details, email address, and relevant information from your CV. In some cases, this may include sensitive personal information, such as details of criminal convictions or ethnic background. We hold, use, and disclose this information as follows:

• To provide our recruitment services to you

• To maintain our professional relationship, whether you are a website user, client, or candidate

• To enable you to submit your CV for general applications, to apply for specific roles, or to subscribe to job alerts (see below for further details on how your CV may be used and disclosed)

• To match your details with job vacancies and assist in finding a suitable position, including sending personal details (including sensitive information) to clients as part of the application process

• To respond to your enquiries

• To send you information on relevant products and services, industry news, events, and other updates. You will have the option to unsubscribe from these communications if you choose

• To fulfil contractual obligations with our clients

• To trusted third parties who provide services you or our clients require, such as reference checks, qualification and criminal checks (where applicable), and verification services. These third parties adhere to strict privacy and confidentiality requirements

• To regulatory or law enforcement agencies, if required by law, and where we are legally permitted to disclose such information

• We may also seek your consent to collect, hold, use, and disclose your information for other purposes not listed above

All data is managed in line with the Data Protection Act (1998) and the latest requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Curriculum Vitae (CV)

You have the option to submit your CV through our website or by sending it directly to one of our consultants. You can do this to apply for a specific advertised role or for general consideration for future positions. Your CV will be stored in our secure database.

You may update your CV at any time by following the same submission process. Your previous CV will be archived, provided that submission details remain consistent (e.g., the same email address or notifying us of a new submission).

Use of Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer by websites you visit. They are commonly used to make websites function or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site’s owners.

Access

You have the right to request a copy of the information you have supplied to us. We may require identity verification and further information about your request. We also reserve the right to charge an administrative fee for this service. In cases where we are legally permitted to do so, we may decline your request and will provide an explanation.

If you would like to make a data request, please contact hello@rcruits.co.uk. You may also request that RCruits stop using your information; however, requests for data deletion may be limited where your file includes information related to clients or financial records that we are required to retain for up to six years (e.g., tax-related information). Where we are unable to comply with a deletion request, we will explain the reasons.

Internet-Based Transfers
