Purpose of Data Collection

As a recruitment company, our business relies on collecting and processing personal data. We will collect certain data from you for our commercial and business purposes. These include:

  • Marketing and advertising;

  • Providing you with our services (whether you’re an employer looking to fill a role or a candidate looking for a new job);

  • Legal compliance;

  • Internal auditing and operational purposes;

  • Record-keeping;

  • Other one-time uses.

You may provide this data to us directly by contacting us about or service or applying to a job advertisement. On occasion may also collect the data from publicly available sources (including but not limited to your profile on a job board, linkedin, company website etc) in order to introduce our services to you.

Your data will be stored on our database, which is provided by Bullhorn. Depending on the nature of service we provide you with, your data may also be stored on our network drives and in our accounting software.

We will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary. Different laws require us to keep different data for different periods of time. You can object to Rise storing your data at any time by emailing mydata@risetechnical.com.

Sharing your data

Rise will never sell your data on to third parties. However, in order to effectively provide you with our services, we may have to share your data with our parent company in the UK. If you are applying for a role with one of our clients, we will share your data with them so that they can progress your application. If you are a client, we will share your details with the candidate in order to properly inform them of the available job vacancy. We may also share your data with our auditors, accountants or government agencies when legally required to do so.
