Who will my information be shared with?
Your personal data will be shared internally with colleagues involved in the recruitment process and may be shared with third-party service providers who support our recruitment systems. We have a small team of administrative colleagues based in Hyderabad, India, who support the employee lifecycle processes, to include onboarding. They are employed by Global Education India (GEI), who are owned by our Parent Company, Global University Systems (GUS). All relevant data sharing agreements are in place.
Do I have to provide this information and what will happen if I don’t?
You are not legally required to provide your personal data to us. However, we need certain information in order to process your application and assess your suitability for the role. If you choose not to provide information that is necessary for the recruitment process (such as contact details, employment history, or right-to-work information), we may be unable to progress your application.
Providing additional information that is not required (for example, diversity or equality monitoring information) is entirely voluntary and will not affect the outcome of your application.
How long will you keep this data for and why?
If your application is unsuccessful, we will retain your personal data for 12 months after the recruitment process ends, after which it will be securely automatically deleted. This is in line with the University’s retention schedule.
How will my information be stored?
During the recruitment process, your information will be stored in our Applicant Tracking System (Team Tailor) and should you be successful in securing a role with the University, your information will also be stored in our HR and Payroll System (iTrent).
Will this information be used to take automated decisions about me?
We take care to understand each candidate as an individual, which is why every stage of our recruitment process is reviewed by people. Your application, CV, written responses, video submissions and interviews are all evaluated by colleagues who are genuinely interested in your strengths and how you could contribute to ULaw. At no stage of the application process do we use AI or automated decision-making tools.
Will my data be transferred abroad and why?
