Section 4 – Your Relationship with Brooke Thornham Consulting

Please read carefully and sign and date below to confirm your understanding and agreement.

1. Brooke Thornham (“we”/”us”/”our”) are providing you with permanent and/or temporary/contract recruitment services (where appropriate), acting as a recruitment agency under The Employment Agencies Act 1973.

2. You have authorised us to pursue employment opportunities for you and have either discussed your preferences with us so we can appraise you of opportunities in the market, or you are interested in a specific role which is being handled by us. Your search preferences can be varied in the future if you notify us when your requirements change.

3. You acknowledge that any references we or our clients make to levels of post qualification experience in our job descriptions, role profiles, or advertisements (in print or on the internet) are purely for guidance and candidates with more or less experience are equally welcome to apply.

4. We will use reasonable endeavours to (a) give you information about roles with our clients (e.g. employer, specialisation, location) as and when they arise and (b) ensure the roles are suitable for you based on the information you have provided to us regarding your qualifications and experience.

5. We will not release your CV to a client without your prior express consent. Your oral consent is sufficient for this purpose. However, we may require you to provide us with written consent.

6. You will keep confidential the identity of our client and the details of any opportunity that we are pursuing on your behalf, since this information is commercially sensitive and may adversely affect our client’s business and your prospects of receiving an offer of employment.

7. We are dealing with your personal information in accordance with GDPR, national laws implementing GDPR and our Privacy Notice, which can be viewed on our website https://brookethornham.com/privacy-notice/

8. Where it is necessary to do so in order to make an application to them, or by virtue of us having already placed you with a client, you authorise Brooke Thornham to share your personal data and records with that client in accordance with GDPR, national laws implementing GDPR and our Privacy Notice.

9. You appreciate that as part of their recruitment process our clients may subsequently perform their own necessary pre-employment screening checks. You understand that our clients own privacy notice’s may vary from that of Brooke Thornham’s and it is their obligation to make their privacy policy available to you as part of their recruitment process.

I understand that if any of this information is untrue or if I have failed to disclose any relevant information to Brooke Thornham Consulting or its clients then it may prejudice my application or, if appointed, could result in my dismissal.

I consent to Brooke Thornham collecting and processing my personal data in accordance with GDPR, national laws implementing GDPR and their company Privacy Notice, and acknowledge their legitimate interest to do this in order to provide me with recruitment services.

Equal Opportunities and Diversity Monitoring

Brooke Thornham Consulting is an equal opportunities employer and a company committed to diversity. This means that all job applicants and members of staff will receive equal treatment and that we will not discriminate on grounds of gender, marital status, race, ethnic origin, colour, nationality, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, socio-economic background, religion or age. However, with the advent of GDPR in 2018 the advice on best practice is that recruitment companies no-longer request, collate or store “special category data”, and so we no longer ask for or process this information from individuals who contact us. We do remain committed to diversity and are glad to assist our clients with their own diversity monitoring initiatives.
