• your named references, from whom we may collect the following categories of data: employment experience and job performance; and
• publicly accessible sources or websites (e.g. LinkedIn: employment history, work experience, skills and education).

• assess your skills, qualifications, and suitability for the role;
• carry out background and reference checks, where applicable;
• communicate with you about the recruitment and onboarding process;

In some jurisdictions, we may use AI note taking services to help interviewers engage with you instead of taking manual notes. You will be informed about it prior to your interview and you can choose to opt out of the use of these services during your interview.

We also need to process your personal data to decide whether to enter into a contract of employment or a contract for your services and where it is necessary for us to carry out our legal obligations. 

If you fail to provide information when requested, and that information is necessary for us to consider your application or suitability for the role (such as evidence of qualifications or work history), we may not be able to process your application successfully. For example, if we require a credit check or references for this role and you fail to provide us with relevant details, we will not be able to take your application further.

• where permitted by law, we may use data for analytics purposes to improve our recruiting process.

Where required or permitted by law, we may process information about criminal convictions. Where permitted by law, we may also ask our background check provider to collect information about your criminal convictions history. We conduct such checks if we would like to offer you the role, conditional on checks and any other conditions, such as references, being satisfactory. We only conduct criminal records checks, where permitted or required by law, in order to satisfy ourselves that there is nothing in your criminal convictions history which makes you unsuitable for the role. We have in place an appropriate policy document and safeguards which we are required by law to maintain when processing such data.

You will not be subject to decisions that will have a significant impact on you based solely on automated decision-making.
