When we search for candidates for an assignment, we collect information about professional background from public sources, such as LinkedIn and company websites, and through recommendations from our network.

We use this information to evaluate candidates for our clients’ positions and to contact you about future opportunities. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in providing executive search services.
An assessment can include in-depth interviews, personality and ability tests and our evaluation of the results. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in evaluating candidates and leaders, including when a client engages us to assess its own leaders.
When we take references, we process your name, contact details, your relationship to the candidate and what you tell us. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in evaluating candidates.
We process names, titles, contact details and correspondence to carry out assignments, maintain our business relationships and contact potential clients about our services. The legal basis is our agreement with your organization and our legitimate interest in developing our business.

Such transfers are protected by safeguards under the GDPR, such as the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.
