Why We Need Your Data

We need your CV so that a recruitment consultant can assess your suitability for a particular job. We need your name, email address and phone number so that a recruitment consultant can get in contact with you if they wish to follow up an application with you. We need a postcode area attribute to help match job location to your geographical proximity.

Who May Process Your Data

If you apply for a job and do not opt for any additional services your details will only be accessed by BCT Resourcing staff or in some cases our client or recruitment partner who is responsible for recruiting into that position. If your job application needs to be processed by an external recruitment partner, we will always inform you who this is on screen and collect your consent before the application is submitted. If you explicitly opt in to be registered on external sites for the purpose of receiving matching job alerts by email or receiving a free CV review some of your details will be forwarded to the external organization and you will be registered on the chosen site(s) upon submission of the job application. The specific data required by the external site may vary but you will always be informed on screen which data is supplied to which organization before collecting your consent. Once your details are registered on external partner sites, they will be permitted to process your details according to their privacy policy and they will be at liberty to send emails and/or contact you to fulfill the service requested. BCT Resourcing endeavors to partner only with GDPR compliant entities.
