Privacy Policy

Alacrity Search & Consulting is an executive search and consulting business which provides recruitment and advisory services to clients and candidates within the advanced manufacturing and engineering sectors. We must process personal data (including sensitive personal data) so that we can provide these services – in doing so, Alacrity Search & Consulting acts as a data controller.
You may give your personal details to Alacrity Search & Consulting directly, such as on an application or registration form, or via our website, or we may collect them from another source such as a professional networking site, jobs board, or referral. Alacrity Search & Consulting must have a legal basis for processing your personal data.
For the purposes of providing you with executive search and consulting services, and/or information relating to roles relevant to you, we will only use your personal data in accordance with the terms of the following statement.
This company monitors its own compliance with data protection policies and regularly reviews the effectiveness of data handling and security controls. We also manage information risks in a structured way so that management understands the business impact of personal data-related risks and manages them effectively.

Collection and Use of Personal Data – Purpose of Processing and Legal Basis

Alacrity Search & Consulting will collect your personal data (which may include sensitive personal data) and will process your personal data for the purposes of providing you with recruitment, search, and consulting services.
The legal bases we rely upon to offer these services to you are:
  • Consent of the individual for one or more specific purposes.
  • Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with the individual or to take steps at the request of the individual before entering into a contract.
  • Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation that the controller is subject to.
  • Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the individual or another person.
  • Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the data controller.
  • Processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights or freedoms of the individual which require protection of personal data.

Legitimate interest

Where Alacrity Search & Consulting has relied on a legitimate interest to process your personal data, our legitimate interests are as follows:
  • To deliver professional search and consulting services in accordance with client requirements.
  • To match executive-level candidates with suitable roles and opportunities in the advanced manufacturing sector.
  • To maintain business relationships with clients and candidates.
  • To ensure compliance with applicable laws and professional standards.

  • Clients seeking to fill executive and senior positions within the advanced manufacturing and engineering sectors.
  • Professional partners and advisors, including legal, accounting, and IT support services.
  • Payroll and compliance partners for contractual and administrative purposes.
  • Submission of candidate details to clients for roles we are advertising or retained to fill, or where you have requested to be considered.

Statutory/contractual requirement

Your personal data may be required by law and/or contractual necessity (e.g. clients may require specific information for due diligence), and/or to enter into a professional relationship.
You are obliged to provide this personal data; failure to do so may prevent Alacrity Search & Consulting from providing work-finding or advisory services to you.

Data retention

Alacrity Search & Consulting will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary. Different laws require us to keep different data for different periods of time.
Typically, candidate and client data is retained for up to six years after last contact, in line with industry and legal requirements.
Where Alacrity Search & Consulting has obtained your consent to process your personal and sensitive personal data, we will do so in line with our retention policy (a copy of which is available upon request). Upon expiry of that period, Alacrity Search & Consulting will seek further consent from you. Where consent is not granted, we will cease to process your personal data.
