Privacy notice

How PeopleForward collects, uses and protects personal information about candidates, clients and visitors to this website.

Who we are

PeopleForward Recruitment Ltd (“PeopleForward”, “we”, “us”) is an employment business and employment agency registered in England (company number 09876543). We are the controller of the personal information described in this notice.

If you have any questions, contact our Data Protection Officer at privacy@envato.com or write to us at 3 Park Square East, Leeds LS1 2NE.

Information we collect

When you register with us or apply for a job, we collect your contact details, CV, work history, qualifications, right-to-work documents and references.

When you work through us, we also process payroll, timesheet, bank and tax information. For some roles we carry out background checks such as DBS checks, with your consent where the law requires it.

For clients, we hold the business contact details of the people we work with.

How we use your information

We use your information to find you suitable work, to introduce you to employers, to pay you, to meet our legal obligations and, where you agree, to send you job alerts and news.

We only share your details with a prospective employer after we have discussed the role with you.

Lawful bases

We rely on contract, legal obligation and our legitimate interests in providing recruitment services. Where we rely on consent — for example, for marketing — you can withdraw it at any time.

How long we keep it

We keep candidate records for two years after our last meaningful contact, and payroll records for six years after the end of the tax year to which they relate, unless the law requires otherwise.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of your information, ask us to correct or delete it, object to certain uses or ask us to restrict processing. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Cookie policy

Which cookies this website uses, why, and how you can control them.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work and tell us how it is used.

Cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies keep the site secure and remember your choices, such as your cookie settings and the light or dark theme. They cannot be switched off.

Analytics cookies count visits anonymously, so we can see which pages help people most. We only set them if you agree.

Marketing cookies let us show you job adverts on other sites that match the roles you looked at. We only set them if you agree.

Managing cookies

You can change your choices at any time from Cookie settings at the foot of every page, or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies may stop parts of the site from working.

Changes to this policy

We review this policy when we change the cookies we use. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated.

Modern slavery statement

The steps PeopleForward takes to prevent modern slavery and human trafficking in our business and supply chains.

Our business

PeopleForward provides temporary and permanent workers across logistics, healthcare, office, hospitality, construction and technology. Because we place people into work, we take our responsibility to protect them seriously.

Our policies

We never charge workers fees for finding them work, we pay at least the National Living Wage, and we check that every worker controls their own identity documents and bank account.

Due diligence

Our compliance team checks for warning signs such as shared bank accounts or addresses, and we carry out audits of the clients and suppliers we work with.

Training

Every consultant completes modern slavery awareness training when they join and every year after that.

Reporting concerns

Anyone can raise a concern confidentially by emailing speakup@envato.com. This statement is approved by the board and reviewed every year.
