Privacy Policy and GDPR Compliance
DSA Executive is an Executive Search, Recruitment, Recruitment Services, Coaching, Mentoring and Management Consultancy business and we take the privacy of our clients and candidates very seriously.
How we receive information and how we may use it
DSA Executive may receive your data through a number of channels: 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 DSA Executive on a job board on behalf of a third party client.
This will also apply to Coaching and Mentoring.
This statement explains how we process personal data received into our organisation. When you register your interest with DSA Executive, you consent to us collecting and storing your personal information. You will be able to submit your enquiry or details to DSA Executive, 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. Also, for best practice, your Passport details.
During telephone conversations, email exchanges or face to face interviews we may collect personal information with regard to employment preferences, strengths and career experience which may be stored on your personal record. This information facilitates our ability to carry out & support your job search and to provide a basis for recommendation when short-listing candidates for a particular position. By explicitly providing consent when you register with DSA Executive, you are providing permission for our storage of this information with a legitimate interest. This will also apply to Coaching and Mentoring.
DSA Executive will never share personal information or a Curriculum Vitae with any third party without your explicit consent.
Due to the nature of the business of DSA Executive, a significant number of candidates reconnect with our organisation periodically over many years. It is not uncommon for this to occur many years after we have placed them in a career or an Interim or Contract position. For this reason, your consent may include 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 DSA Executive storing your personal data or setting up a personal registration for you, please do let us know asap via email info@dsaexecutive.com or call our Office on +44 (0) 1675 464060. To comply with GDPR legislation, we will require your express permission to process your application and keep your data for new opportunities in the future years.
