The more information we have about you, your skillset, financial services industry qualifications, details about your client bank and business together with your goals and ambitions, the more bespoke we can make our service. Where appropriate, we may also store your personal data (and updating them when necessary) on our database, so that we can contact you when we have future opportunities that might be of potential interest to you or to ask for your help with connecting other Candidates with acquisitions or jobs; and send you information that we think you may find interesting, for example helping you to sell your client bank.
