We may record telephone calls we have with you for record keeping, training or quality assurance purposes. When you visit our website our web server stores the IP address of your Internet Service Provider and the date and duration of your visit.

Sharing your information
We want to provide as full a service as possible and support you in the development of your career.

Your information will not be forwarded to any parties outside our group (with the exception of our clients, agents who process data on our behalf and successors in title to our business) without your consent. Such third parties may use your data to send you information and marketing relevant to recruitment and your general professional interests.
