Mann Roberts Solicitors Limited takes the privacy of applicants seriously. This notice explains how we collect, use, share and retain personal information during our recruitment process.
We collect and use personal information about you to administer our recruitment process, assess your suitability for employment and, where applicable, complete appropriate pre-employment checks.
The information we collect may include your contact details, employment history, qualifications, experience, application answers, interview and assessment information, right-to-work information and other information you provide during the recruitment process.
We may also process more sensitive information where necessary, for example information relating to reasonable adjustments or, where appropriate and lawful, criminal convictions or offences. Recruitment information is subject to the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.
When you apply to Mann Roberts Solicitors Limited, you are asking us to consider you for the position for which you have applied.
You are also asking us to retain your application information so that we may consider you for other suitable employment opportunities that may arise within Mann Roberts Solicitors Limited, Bridgelove Group Limited or the wider Mann Roberts group during our applicable retention period.
This means that, even if you are not successful in your original application, we may review your information and contact you if we believe another suitable opportunity arises.
You can ask us at any time not to consider you for future opportunities by contacting us using the details below. This will not affect the way in which your application for the position originally applied for is considered.
We may use your information to:
Our lawful basis for processing will depend upon the information concerned and the circumstances. It may include taking steps at your request before entering into an employment contract, complying with our legal obligations and pursuing our legitimate interests in recruiting and selecting suitable people for our business.
We do not rely upon your acknowledgement of this Recruitment Privacy Notice as consent to all of our processing.
Access to your information will be limited to people who reasonably need it for recruitment or related business purposes.
This may include relevant people within Mann Roberts Solicitors Limited, Bridgelove Group Limited, the parent company of Mann Roberts Solicitors Limited, and other companies within the wider Mann Roberts group, where sharing is reasonably necessary for recruitment, management or administrative purposes.
We may also share relevant information with appropriate third parties involved in our recruitment process, including recruitment agencies, referees, professional or regulatory bodies, technology and recruitment-system providers, and organisations carrying out authorised pre-employment checks on our behalf.
Where another organisation processes personal information on our behalf, appropriate arrangements will be maintained for the protection of that information.
If you tell us that you require a reasonable adjustment during our recruitment process, we will use relevant information for the purpose of understanding and, where appropriate, making that adjustment.
Please provide only the information reasonably necessary for us to understand the adjustment you require.
Where necessary and lawful for a particular position, we may process information relating to criminal convictions or offences. Criminal-offence information has additional protection under UK data-protection law and will only be processed where an appropriate lawful basis and applicable legal condition have been identified.
A criminal conviction will not necessarily prevent an applicant from being considered for employment.
We retain recruitment information only for as long as we consider reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to meet our legal, regulatory and legitimate business requirements.
If your application is unsuccessful, we will normally retain your application and recruitment record for seven years from the date on which your application is closed.
During this period, we may use your information to consider whether you may be suitable for other employment opportunities within Mann Roberts Solicitors Limited, Bridgelove Group Limited or the wider Mann Roberts group, and we may contact you where we believe an appropriate opportunity has arisen.
You may ask us at any time not to use your information for future recruitment opportunities.
At the end of the applicable retention period, your information will be securely deleted or anonymised where it is no longer required.
If you are appointed, information collected during the recruitment process that is relevant to your employment may become part of your employment record and will be retained in accordance with our employee data-retention arrangements.
We may use technology to administer our recruitment process, organise application information, manage workflows and assist our hiring managers in reviewing applications.
We do not make decisions about whether an applicant progresses through our recruitment process or is offered employment solely by automated means. Recruitment decisions are made by people.
Under data-protection legislation, you have rights in relation to your personal information. Depending upon the circumstances, these may include the right to:
These rights are not absolute and may depend upon the circumstances and the lawful basis on which we process your information.
If you have any questions about how we use your information, wish to exercise a data-protection right, or do not wish to be considered for future employment opportunities, please contact us:
