Candidates and Consultants: the personal information we collect about you where “you” are a candidate or placed consultant.
Goodman Masson aims to collect the minimum data it needs to perform its role. Typically, this is name, address, job title and contact details. In addition, if you are a candidate or consultant being considered for a role it will also include your CV / resume as well as other details about your skills and experience.
When:
Where needed we will collect the following information from or about you:
You can update your CV or personal data at any time by forwarding a copy to cv@goodmanmasson.com

Client contacts: the personal information we collect about you where “you” are a contact at one of our clients or at an MSP, umbrella company or personal service company involved in the supply of a person’s services to a hirer.
We need to collect information about you as an essential part of providing our Services.
When:
we will usually collect the following information from or about you:
where “you” are a client contact:
– any opinion or feedback you share with us regarding a candidate or consultant;
– details of any queries you raise with us regarding the Services;
– details of any recruitment, resourcing or consultancy requirements or plans you share with us.
In some cases we regard you as both a candidate and a client contact. Where this is the case please read the sections below relating to candidates and client contacts and how we will use your personal information.
Candidates and consultants:
We collect, store and use information that we obtain in relation to you for our legitimate interests:
This storage and use of your personal information allows you to be contacted about roles which we think will be of interest to you, now or in the future, and we do not believe that this storage and use will unduly prejudice your rights or freedoms.
We will store and use your personal information in order to comply with relevant legal obligations to which Goodman Masson is subject, including carrying out:
In other, relatively limited circumstances, we will carry out further relevant background checks as requested by our client. In these circumstances we will be acting on behalf of our client and the handling of your personal data will be governed by the client’s privacy policy.
Where you are successful in securing temporary assignment or consultancy work with one of our clients we will store and use your personal information for the purposes of completing and administering contracts with your chosen personal service company, umbrella company or consultancy company and for processing payment to such company in respect of services you (or your consultancy) have performed for our client. Such processing will be for our legitimate interests so that we can provide Services to you and our client. We do not believe that this storage and use of your personal information will unduly prejudice your rights or freedoms.
Such processing will also be necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party (i.e. your contract with the company with whom you work to provide assignment/consultancy services) and/or in order to take steps prior to you entering into such contract, including contracts we enter into with the client relating to the provision of your services or consultancy services.
If our client requires us to collect, store and use your health data and/or any Disclosure and Baring Checks we will, on our client’s behalf, seek your consent to processing such data. You can withdraw your consent at any stage but this may prevent us from being able to deliver our recruitment services to you.
Client contacts and other third parties involved in the supply of resourcing services (e.g. umbrella companies and personal service companies):
We collect, store and use your name and contact details for our legitimate interests, so that we can:
This allows you to be contacted to receive and administer any Services which you or your organisation has requested.
