Data retention

How long we keep CVs and recruitment data.

Related: Privacy · Terms · Your Data Rights · Data Retention

CVs & candidate profiles

We keep candidate CVs and profile details for up to 12 months from the date of submission, unless:

  • the candidate requests deletion earlier, or
  • we need to retain data for legal reasons (e.g., to respond to a complaint).

Employer account & billing records

We retain employer account and billing records for as long as necessary for operational and legal purposes, including HMRC and accounting requirements.

Why we retain data

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for recruitment purposes, platform security, and to deal with queries, complaints or legal obligations. When data is no longer needed, it is deleted or anonymised where appropriate.
