Candidate Terms

BECKRON PARTNERS LTD (company number 17385385) is registered in England and Wales. Our registered office is 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom. Our website is beckronpartners.com and our contact email is info@beckronpartners.com.

Beckron operates as an employment agency: we introduce candidates for direct, permanent engagement by employers. We do not supply temporary agency workers, employ candidates, operate payroll for candidates or become a party to the employment contract between a candidate and an employer.

These terms apply when you register as a candidate, ask us to provide work-finding services or otherwise instruct us to consider you for permanent opportunities. Accepting these terms does not give us blanket authority to disclose your identity or CV to any employer; specific introductions are handled under section 5.

We may, as appropriate:

• Create and maintain a candidate record from information you provide or that we lawfully obtain.
• Discuss your experience, preferences, availability and suitable permanent opportunities with you.
• Assess potential matches and introduce you for a particular vacancy after following section 5.
• Help arrange communications, interviews, feedback and offers between you and an employer.

Our service is non-exclusive. You remain free to seek work directly or through another recruiter, and we will not subject you to a detriment for doing so. We are not obliged to put you forward for any role and do not guarantee an interview, offer, placement, salary, start date, length of employment or the suitability or solvency of an employer.

We do not charge candidates a fee for finding or seeking to find permanent employment. We do not currently offer paid candidate services. If that changes, any optional service will be clearly separated from our work-finding service, will not be a condition of receiving that service and will be covered by separate written information and terms before any charge is incurred.

You agree to:

• Accuracy: provide accurate, complete and non-misleading information about your identity, history, experience, qualifications, authorisations, availability, remuneration expectations and right-to-work or sponsorship position.
• Updates: promptly tell us about material changes or errors in information already supplied.
• Authority: ensure you may provide your CV and documents and do not give us another person's information, confidential information or protected material without proper authority.
• Cooperation: provide relevant evidence where reasonably requested for a role or required by law, an employer or a professional body.
• Independent decision: review the employer, role, offer and employment contract carefully and obtain your own advice where appropriate.
• Outcome updates: promptly tell us if an employer we introduced contacts, interviews, offers work to or engages you. You do not become responsible for the employer's recruitment fee by giving this update.

You are not required to accept an interview, offer or employment. Tell us promptly if you no longer wish to be considered for a role.

Before proposing you for a vacancy, we will obtain the information required from the employer and provide the information we are required to give about the position. This includes the employer's identity and business, the position and work, location, hours, proposed start date and expected duration, known health and safety risks and controls, required experience, training, qualifications and authorisations, expenses, minimum remuneration and benefits, pay intervals and notice periods.

We will ask you to confirm that you are willing to be considered for that position. As an additional candidate-control safeguard, we will normally identify the employer and role and obtain a clear, recorded affirmative authorisation from you before sending that employer your identifiable CV or profile. Registration with Beckron or acceptance of these terms is not that authorisation.

You may decline without being removed from our candidate network and may withdraw before disclosure. If you withdraw after information has been sent, we will stop further disclosure for that introduction and take reasonable steps in response, but cannot reverse a disclosure already made or require deletion where the recipient has an independent lawful reason to retain the information.

We will not disclose information about you to your current employer without separate prior authorisation, which you may withdraw before disclosure. We may use genuinely anonymised or aggregated information and may disclose information without authorisation where required or permitted by law.

The employer makes the final hiring decision and carries out the right-to-work and pre-employment checks for which it is legally responsible, unless Beckron agrees a different scope in writing. Where required for a role, we may verify identity, experience, training, qualifications, professional registrations, authorisations or references. Checks will be lawful, relevant and proportionate.

We will tell you before contacting a referee and will not contact your current employer as a referee without the separate authorisation described in section 5. You must not provide false or altered evidence. If required information cannot be verified, we may be unable to introduce you and may explain the verification position to an employer where the law requires or permits this.

The employer controls its recruitment and employment decisions. Any offer or employment contract is between you and the employer. Beckron may communicate information or relay an offer but cannot accept an offer, agree employment terms or make commitments on your behalf.

We take reasonable steps within our service to communicate role information accurately, but third-party information may change or be incomplete. Tell us promptly about inaccuracies or concerns. If, within three months after an introduction, we receive information indicating that you may be unsuitable for the position, recruitment-sector law may require us to inform the employer without delay. Any disclosure will be limited to what is relevant and lawful.

Beckron provides its service without unlawful discrimination. We will not make recruitment decisions or accept employer instructions based on a protected characteristic where doing so would be unlawful. If you need a reasonable adjustment to use our service or take part in a recruitment process, contact us. We will handle related information sensitively and disclose it only where appropriate, lawful and necessary.

Our Privacy Notice explains what information we collect, where it comes from, why and how we use it, the lawful bases we rely on, who receives it, how long it is kept and your rights.

Acknowledging the Privacy Notice or accepting these terms is not blanket data-protection consent. We generally rely on the lawful bases identified in the notice, including legitimate interests and legal obligations where applicable. We do not sell candidate personal information. Do not include unnecessary sensitive information in your CV or messages; contact us first where practicable if sensitive information is relevant to an adjustment or role.

You may ask us at any time to stop considering you for opportunities or close your active candidate profile, without detriment. Stopping work-finding services is not automatically the same as erasing every record: we may retain limited information where required by law or reasonably necessary for legal claims, compliance, security or recording your preference.

We may pause or end our service where information is materially inaccurate, a request is unlawful or abusive, continuing creates legal or regulatory risk, or we reasonably cannot provide an appropriate service. Where appropriate and lawful, we will tell you.

We may communicate by email, telephone or another method you use with us. Keep your contact details current and check communications about active applications. Electronic acceptance, confirmations and records may be used where permitted by law.

Send complaints to info@beckronpartners.com with the subject line "Candidate complaint". We will acknowledge the matter promptly, investigate it fairly and explain the outcome. Recruitment-agency conduct concerns may also be raised with the Fair Work Agency through GOV.UK. Data-protection complaints may be raised with the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk, although we encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve the matter.

We will provide our service with reasonable care and skill. We do not control an employer's decisions, conduct, workplace, statements or performance of an employment contract, and you remain responsible for deciding whether to pursue or accept a role.

To the extent permitted by law, Beckron is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from a failure to obtain an interview or employment, an employer's decision, or inaccurate information supplied by you, an employer or another third party, except to the extent caused by Beckron's failure to use reasonable care and skill. Nothing excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

We may update these terms to reflect changes in our service or legal obligations. The latest version and effective date will be published here. Where a change materially affects an active candidate relationship, we will give additional notice where appropriate. A change does not authorise a new CV disclosure or retrospectively alter a specific introduction already agreed.

If a provision is unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply. A delay in enforcement is not a waiver. No person other than you and Beckron has a right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce these terms.

These terms and the work-finding relationship are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, without removing mandatory rights you may have under the law of the country in which you live.
