We will request a ‘opt in’ from candidates when registering candidates however we can only work with candidates who opt in as we would have no ways to contact a candidate if we can not hold details about them. Candidates have the right to be forgotten or removed, this will happen when there is no legal reason to keep the details (ie HMRC tax timescales, HMRC agency worker reporting reports, Police investigations, right to work in the UK record keeping).
By sending your cv we will need to keep a copy of your details so we can be in contact with you. If you are no longer looking or change your mind after applying for a job, please let us know and we can remove you. There is a ‘business need’ to hold onto your cv/details after you submit it to you, so we can make contact which it can take a candidate a few weeks sometimes to call us back.

We never sell your details to a 3rd party nor allow 3rd parties acess to our database. We will seek your permission to submit a cv to a client. HtE Recruitment acts as a recruitment agency and requires some details about you, so we can secure interviews and job offers.
