We use your information to find the best candidates for job opportunities. If you are of interest to a prospective employer, we may share your information with the prospective employer or their agent to help in short-listing candidates or arranging interviews. 

When a suitable opportunity arises, speed is important. Please provide up to date telephone numbers and a personal email address so that we are able to alert you quickly, once you have given your consent for us to do so. 

When we are in contact with you and you tell us about changes in your circumstances, we may update the information we hold about you. 

Apart from the purpose of short-listing and interviews as described above, we do not share your information with any other organisation.
