Data protection

The protection of your personal data is an important concern for us. We process your data exclusively in accordance with applicable data protection regulations, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Below, we inform you about which personal data we collect, for what purposes it is processed and what rights you are entitled to.

Processing of candidate and applicant data

As a specialist recruitment consultancy, we process personal data of candidates, in particular when you voluntarily provide this information to us in the context of making contact or by submitting documents (e.g. CV, references, qualification certificates) by email or via our contact form.

The data processed may include in particular:

Name, contact details (email address, phone number)
Professional career, qualifications, references
Other information you voluntarily provide to us

Purpose of data processing

Your personal data is processed exclusively for the following purposes:

Assessing your professional suitability
Contacting you in the context of recruitment or placement processes
Matching your profile with suitable positions
Presenting your profile to potential clients only with your prior consent

Legal basis for processing

Your data is processed on the basis of:

Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (initiation or performance of a contractual relationship)
Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in placing suitable candidates)
Where required, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent)

Your data will only be disclosed to third parties insofar as this is necessary for the placement and only with your prior consent or due to legal obligations.

Retention period

Your personal data will only be stored for as long as is necessary for the stated purposes or as required by statutory retention obligations.

If no placement is made, your data will be deleted once the purpose no longer applies, unless you have expressly consented to longer storage of your data – in particular in our candidate CRM.

In the event of such consent, we store your data in order to inform you about suitable professional opportunities in the future. Your consent is voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

Statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.

Rights of data subjects

You have the right at any time to:

Access your stored data
Rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data
Erasure of your personal data
Restriction of processing
Data portability
Object to processing
Withdraw consent with effect for the future

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access or unlawful disclosure. Our security measures are continuously updated in line with technological developments.
