B. When do we compile your personal details?

We compile your data as soon as you have sent us this. This can be done by e-mail, text message, verbally (by phone, in a Randstad office, during a visit to your company, at an event, training course, etc.), through giving us your business card or in any other possible way. This also happens when you are registered as a contact for our services by your company or organisation or if you are registered as a private individual customer.

We can also compile your data if it has been made publically accessible, or if you did this yourself on public/social media (e.g. LinkedIn) and this indicates that you are the right contact for us to interview as part of our service.

C. Why do we need your personal details?

We compile your personal details for the objectives mentioned below and will not use this data for other purposes without informing you in advance and, if necessary, asking your permission.

We use your data as part of the instruction and realisation of our HR services for you or for your company or organisation, for the introduction and realisation of joint projects or partnerships, for the advocacy of Randstad’s interests, or as part of your service as a supplier or consultant.

More specifically, we use your personal details to, as the case may be,

We use and process your personal details, depending on the type of processing, on the basis of:

our (pre)contractual relationship and all related statutory obligations of Randstad: if we negotiate or enter into an agreement with you or your company or organisation, we need certain information from you or from a person involved in your company or organisation to be able to submit and discuss a suitable offer and to be able to prepare this agreement, draw it up and then carry it out correctly. If you do not want your personal details to be processed as part of this, we cannot enter into service with you.

In the realisation of an agreement for recruitment & selection, temporary employment or for any other type of Human Resource Services, we communicate our contact details or those of specific people of your company or organisation to our candidates, temporary workers so they know who to contact when they introduce themselves or are going to start and/or perform their task.

This can be done, for instance, to offer and promote all services, and/or provide you with informative messages (newsletters, events,...) that are in line with what you can reasonably expect to receive from us in the context of our existing or possible future relationship. This can also be done for access or internal control and audits to guarantee the safety and continuity of our systems and partnerships. This legitimate interest is also present when we need to file your data as part of establishing, implementing or substantiating a possible legal procedure.
