Privacy & candidate data.

Your CV and the details you give us: contact information, work history, salary expectation, notice period, location and right-to-work status. Where a role requires it, we also record assessment results, qualification checks and references. We do not collect anything a hiring decision does not require.

To match you to roles, to represent you accurately to an employer with your consent, and to keep a record of the decisions made about your application. Where the law requires a lawful basis, ours is your consent for the network and legitimate interest for an active application you have started.

An employer sees your details only after you agree to that specific role. We never sell candidate data, never share it with a third party for marketing, and never pass it to another agency. Assessment providers and background-check partners act on our instruction only, under contract.

Twenty-four months from your last contact with us, unless you ask us to keep it longer or delete it sooner. Records tied to a placement are held for the period the client's contract and local employment law require, then deleted.

You can ask to see your record, correct it, restrict how we use it, or have it deleted. Email privacy@vrsjo.com and we will confirm within five working days and complete the request within thirty days. You do not have to explain why.

No candidate is rejected by software. We use automation for transcription, search and organising notes; a named consultant makes every judgement about your application and can tell you the reasoning.

Regional hosting with residency options for the EU, UK and GCC. Where data crosses a border it is covered by standard contractual clauses. Client data in VRS Recruit is held under the residency option chosen by that client.

For clients we hold business contact details and the mandate record. This website sets no advertising or tracking cookies. It stores three things in your own browser, none of which leave it or reach us: your light or dark theme preference, your language choice, and — if you start filling in a form — a local draft of what you have typed, so a refresh does not lose it. Clearing your browser storage removes all three, and the draft is discarded as soon as the form is sent.
