We collect personal information through a variety of means, including:
Directly from you — when you submit a resume, complete a form on our website, contact us by phone or email, attend an interview, or engage us for a recruitment assignment.
From third-party sources — including job boards such as SEEK and LinkedIn, professional networking platforms, publicly available sources, referees you have nominated, and our recruitment database powered by Manatal.
Through our website — via cookies, analytics tools, and contact or enquiry forms.
We will take reasonable steps to ensure you are aware that your information has been collected, whether we receive it directly from you or from a third party.
We collect and use personal information for purposes directly related to our recruitment services, including:
Assessing your suitability for current or future employment opportunities. Matching candidates with client vacancies. Conducting reference checks and verifying qualifications, licences, and work rights. Communicating with you about roles, market insights, or our services. Managing our client relationships and fulfilling recruitment assignments. Complying with our legal and regulatory obligations. Improving our website and the services we provide.
We will not use your personal information for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was collected, unless you have consented or the secondary use is related to the primary purpose and would reasonably be expected.
We may disclose your personal information to the following parties:
Prospective employers — when presenting your candidacy for a role, we will share relevant information from your application with the hiring organisation. We will always discuss a specific opportunity with you before submitting your details to a client.
Referees — we may contact referees you have provided to obtain professional references.
Service providers — we use third-party platforms to support our operations, including our applicant tracking system (Manatal), email and communication tools, and website hosting services. These providers are bound by their own privacy obligations.

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, and disclosure. Personal information is stored securely within our recruitment management system and protected by access controls, encryption, and secure authentication.
Our primary recruitment database is hosted by Manatal, which maintains its own security certifications and data protection measures. Where information is stored in cloud-based systems, it may be held on servers located outside Australia. In such cases, we take reasonable steps to ensure that overseas recipients handle your information in accordance with the APPs.
