Your data, handled with care.

01Who we are

DJM Talent Consulting is a specialist recruitment firm placing commercial talent in the packaging industry across Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States. For the purposes of UK and EU data protection law, DJM Talent Consulting is the controller of the personal data described in this policy.

If you have any question about this policy or your data, contact David McGowan at david@djmtalent.com.

02What we collect

Candidates: your name, contact details, CV, employment history, current and expected salary, notice period, location and mobility preferences, interview notes and references you agree to share.

Clients: the names, job titles and contact details of the people we work with, plus details of the roles you are hiring for.

Website visitors: anything you send us through the contact form or by email, and basic technical information needed to run the site securely.

03How we get it

Directly from you, when you send a CV, contact us or speak with us. From publicly available professional sources such as LinkedIn, company websites and industry publications, when we identify people who may suit a role. From referees and clients, with your knowledge, during a recruitment process.

04Why we use it, and on what basis

To find, assess and introduce candidates for commercial roles, and to keep in touch about relevant opportunities. Our legal basis is legitimate interests in running a specialist recruitment business, and your consent where we ask for it.

To deliver search services to clients under our agreement with them (contract), and to meet legal, tax and accounting obligations (legal obligation).

We will never send your CV or details to a company without first discussing the role with you and getting your permission.

05Who we share it with

Clients, only for roles you have agreed to be put forward for. Trusted service providers who host our website, email and records, under contracts that require them to protect your data. Authorities, where the law requires it. We do not sell personal data.

06International transfers

Because we recruit across Europe and the United States, your data may be transferred between the UK, the EU and the US. Where this happens we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as adequacy decisions, the UK and EU standard contractual clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

07How long we keep it

We keep candidate records for as long as they remain useful for future opportunities, and review them at least every two years. Client records are kept for the length of our relationship plus the period required by law. You can ask us to delete your data at any time.

08Your rights

Under UK and EU law you can ask to access, correct, delete or restrict your data, object to how we use it, withdraw consent and receive a copy in a portable format. US residents, including those in California and other states with privacy laws, can ask to know, correct or delete the personal information we hold.

To use any of these rights, email david@djmtalent.com. We will respond within one month. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk) or your local supervisory authority.

09Security

We keep personal data in secure, access-controlled systems and limit access to the people who need it. Messages sent through our website are stored securely and are only visible to DJM.
