James Chase Solutions receive your personal data when you apply directly for an advertised role via our website; when you apply directly to be a candidate for whom we can facilitate a job search or via a third party when you respond to a job post placed by James Chase Solutions on a job board on behalf of a third party client.

You will not be able to submit your enquiry or details to James Chase Solutions without consenting to us storing your personal data. This may include but is not restricted to your name; contact details; address; employment history; mobility and education.

During telephone conversations and face to face interviews we may collect personal information with regard to employment preferences, strengths and work experience which may be stored on your personal record. This information facilitates our ability to support your job search and to provide a basis for recommendation when short-listing candidates for a particular role. By explicitly providing consent when you register with James Chase Solutions you are providing permission for our storage of this information. James Chase Solutions will never share personal information or a Curriculum Vitae with a third party without your explicit consent.

Due to the nature of recruitment, a significant number of candidates reconnect with our organisation periodically. It is not uncommon for this to occur years after we have placed them in a role. For this reason, your consent includes explicit consent to retain your personal details until such time as you wish us to delete your records from our database or refrain from further engagement.

If you do not consent to James Chase Solutions storing your personal data or setting up a personal registration for you, please do not submit your Curriculum Vitae for any roles advertised on our website. We are unable to process your application without receipt of consent to process and store your personal information.

Clause 3 – Job Alerts

By providing consent to our storage of your personal data you are also providing consent to us contacting you if we receive details of a role which specifically matches your career aspirations. We will only do this where you, the potential candidate, meet a detailed brief provided by one of our clients, and where you have provided explicit consent to us storing and using your data.


Clause 4 – Our Promise to our candidates

We will never share our candidates’ personal details or Curriculum Vitae with a third party without the candidate’s explicit consent, and then we will only share the personal information with that one company or individual.


Clause 5 – Contacting Recruitment Consultants directly

It is likely that over time your employment history will require updating as you transition to new roles or receive promotion. James Chase Solutions undertake to update your registration within two weeks of receiving an updated Curriculum Vitae.

Where James Chase Solutions have previously received permission to share personal information with a third party, for example for short listing for a role, we undertake to advise that third party of your wish to be forgotten if communication has been in the last 12 months. In the event that you wish to be erased from our Recruitment Database you should contact admin@james-chase.com. Please make it clear that you wish to be erased, rather than simply marked as no longer job seeking. 

Clause 8 – Notification of Breaches

We are aware of our responsibility as a recruiter to protect your information and to only share details with third parties upon receipt of your explicit consent.
