Important note for Candidates: Recruiters use our Service to share data about You with Employers or Employing Line Managers. As a result, your Personal Data may be shared with Employers or Employing Line Managers or posted on the Service by Recruiters and Recruitment Companies acting on Your behalf where You have authorised them to do so. In other circumstances, the Personal Data in Your profile may be minimised and obfuscated or anonymised by the Recruiters and further details will only be released by the Recruiters with Your permission. Your profile will remain on the Service until You expressly tell the relevant Recruiter to remove or update such information. The Recruiter is responsible for determining what Personal Data is shared on the Service. We are data processors in respect of this Personal Data. Please contact Your Recruiter directly to understand our privacy practices with respect to Your Personal Data.

Where you instruct a Recruiter to act on Your behalf, they will be the data controller in respect of Your Personal Data and We will be the data processors.

However, there is no guarantee that the Employer will consider You for the Job vacancy, that the vacancy will not have already been filled or that the decision will be different.
