As part of our executive-search, recruitment-consulting and placement services, we process candidate data. This may include names and contact details; current and former employers; positions and responsibilities; publicly available professional information; CVs, qualifications and experience; salary expectations, availability, location and mobility; interview notes, assessments, professional interests, correspondence, appointment information and, where lawful and agreed, references.
We obtain data directly from candidates, public professional sources, LinkedIn, Xing and comparable networks, legally usable recruitment and CV databases, our candidate database, recommendations, clients and professional contacts. If we did not collect your data directly, we provide Article 14 GDPR information generally no later than our first contact, within the statutory period or before first disclosure.
We use data to assess experience and interests, discuss opportunities, assess suitability for assignments, create anonymised profiles, coordinate meetings, conduct possible placements and maintain our professional network. Processing for a specific recruitment process generally relies on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Identifying and initially contacting suitable executives generally relies on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our and our clients’ legitimate interests in filling specialist and executive roles. You may object to Article 6(1)(f) processing for reasons relating to your particular situation.
