2. What we collect

Website contact form

When you use our contact form we collect your first and last name, email address, company, the role you are hiring for, location and your message. The form uses a hidden anti-spam field. We do not ask for any other information through the form.

Bad Hire Calculator

Our Bad Hire Calculator is provided by a third-party service (usgoodhire.agency) and shown inside our website. Figures or contact details you enter into the calculator are handled by that service.

Candidates

If you are a candidate, or we identify you as a possible candidate, we may hold:

  • Your name, contact details, location and LinkedIn or other public professional profile
  • Your resume, work history, qualifications, licenses and skills
  • Current and expected pay and benefits, notice period and right to work, where you tell us
  • Notes from our conversations and interviews
  • Results of our assessments, including psychometric and behavioral assessments used in our RoleDNA™ Mapping process
  • References, with your agreement, and feedback from clients about your interviews
  • Login details for our candidate system at search.aesrecruitment.com

We get this information from you, from public professional sources such as LinkedIn and company websites, from referees, and from people who refer you to us.

Clients and contacts at client companies

We hold business contact details (name, job title, company, email, phone), details of the roles you ask us to fill, and our correspondence and meeting notes.

Website visitors

Our website uses Google Analytics and Google Ads tags, through Google Tag Manager and Google Site Kit, to measure visits and the performance of our advertising. These collect information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type, and how you arrived at the site. Our contact page shows an embedded Google Map, and some pages load fonts and icons from Google Fonts and Font Awesome. See our Cookie Policy for details.

We do not make hiring decisions about you by automated means alone. Assessment results are reviewed by our consultants.

We don’t ask for special category or sensitive information, such as health, ethnicity or religion. If you choose to share it, we use it only where you have asked us to, for example to arrange adjustments for an interview.

4. Who we share it with

  • Clients: when we put you forward for a role, we share your resume and relevant details, such as assessment summaries and references, with that client. We will speak to you about the role before we do this.
  • Service providers: companies that host and run our systems for us, including our website host, the i-Intro candidate database behind search.aesrecruitment.com, our email provider, our CRM (Recruit CRM), and Google (analytics and advertising). They can only use your information to provide services to us.
  • Assessment providers: where we use a third-party tool for behavioral or psychometric assessments, the provider processes your answers for us and only for that purpose.
  • Legal and professional: advisers, auditors, and authorities where the law requires it.

We do not sell personal information for money. Under California law, our use of Google advertising tags on the website may count as “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can opt out as described in section 8.

5. International transfers

We work from the US and the UK, and our clients and service providers may be in other countries. When we transfer personal information out of the UK or EU, we use protections the law recognizes, such as adequacy decisions (including the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and UK Extension, where the recipient is certified), Standard Contractual Clauses or the UK International Data Transfer Addendum.

6. How long we keep it

  • Candidate records: for as long as they are relevant to current or future searches, unless you ask us to delete them sooner.
  • Client records: for as long as we work together, then for as long as we need them for legal, tax and accounting purposes.
  • Contact form messages: for as long as we need them to answer your inquiry and follow up on it.
  • Website analytics data: for the period set in our Google Analytics data retention settings.

We regularly review the information we hold and delete what we no longer need.

7. Security

We use access controls, password-protected systems and encrypted connections (HTTPS) to protect your information. No system is completely secure, so please contact us right away if you think your information has been put at risk.

8. Your rights

UK and EU

You have the right to access your information, correct it, have it deleted, restrict or object to our use of it (including for direct marketing), get a copy in a portable format, and withdraw consent at any time. You can complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk) or your local EU data protection authority, but we’d appreciate the chance to sort out your concern first.

US states, including California

Depending on where you live, including California (CCPA as amended by the CPRA), Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Florida and other states with privacy laws, you may have the right to:

  • Know what personal information we collect, use and disclose, and get a copy
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Delete your information
  • Opt out of the sale or sharing of your information, and of targeted advertising
  • Limit the use of sensitive personal information (we don’t use it to infer characteristics about you)
  • Not be treated differently for using these rights

In the last 12 months we collected the categories described in section 2: identifiers and contact details, professional and employment information, education information, assessment results, and internet activity on our website. We disclosed them for the business purposes in sections 3 and 4.

To opt out of sharing for advertising, email info@aesrecruitment.com with the subject “Do Not Sell or Share”. You can also block or delete advertising cookies in your browser settings.

How to make a request

Email info@aesrecruitment.com or call +1 (332) 600-8926. We’ll need to confirm your identity before acting. An authorized agent may make a request for you with your signed permission. We’ll reply within one month (UK/EU) or 45 days (US states), and tell you if we need more time as the law allows. If we refuse a US state request, you can appeal by replying to our decision.

9. Children
