Why we process your personal data

 

Recruitment privacy and data noticeRecruitment privacy and data noticeRecruitment privacy and data notice

We do not normally use automated decision-making. The results of the online occupational personality profile are generated automatically from your responses and provides valuable additional information to inform our decision-making. Occasionally, we use online screening questions as part of the application process and, where we do that, the response to those questions do usually determine who will be shortlisted.

Where we obtain your personal data from

Personal data is normally provided by you. Where we receive personal data from other people or organisations, we have set out details below:

Description of the personal data and who we may receive it from.

  • Most personal data are provided by you or collected by us (by the recruitment agency, if involved) from observations of you during the selection process.
  • Previous employers may provide references and other verifications.
  • Qualification and training bodies may provide verifications.
  • The Disclosure and Barring Service will provide details of your criminal record (including in most cases spent convictions, information from the police national computer and barring information).
With whom we might share your personal data

Internally with those involved with the recruitment and selection process and undertaking the pre-commencement checks and establishing you as a new employee. Where a recruitment agency is involved, your application will be shared with the recruitment agency to enable them to assist with shortlisting.

Externally for sufficient information to identify you with the Disclosure and Barring Service, your referees and former employers and qualification and training bodies.

Big 5 Assessments provide an online portal for our occupational personality profile questionnaires. They are contracted by Sticky People who are a distributor of the questionnaires. If we ask you to complete one of their tests, we will send you a link to the test, and Big 5 Assessments’ Privacy Notice is then available for you to read. Your answers will be provided to and held by Big 5 Assessments and Sticky People. The Privacy Notice for Sticky People is available here:  www.stickypeople.co.uk/privacy-policy.

Safeguarding your personal data

We will only process personal data outside of the EU where we are sure there is an adequate level of protection or there are appropriate safeguards in place.

How long we keep your personal data

Our retention periods take account of legal requirements and practical considerations. If the retention period information is not provided below, see our retention policy: www.cvt.org.uk/retention

Information generated throughout the selection process (eg interview notes, test information) and equal opportunities information is retained by the Trust and Big 5 Assessments/Sticky People for up to six months following the closure of the vacancy if you are unsuccessful.

If you are successful, relevant information from the selection process will be retained by us as part of your employee file for the duration of your employment plus six years following the end of your employment.
