Privacy

Only what you type into a form, or send us in an email. There is no account to create and we do not buy contact lists.

• Enquiry and booking forms: your name, email address, business name, the country you are in, the role you are hiring for, the hours you need, anything you write in the message box, and any candidates you shortlisted before sending it.
• Requesting access to candidate profiles: your name, business name, email address and mobile number, plus your website, country, the role and your timeline where you give them. The mobile number is so a person can verify you quickly.
• The pricing calculator: your email address and name, if you ask us to send you the breakdown, together with the role and plan you modelled.

We use it to answer you, to verify that you are a real business before opening candidate CVs, and to run the search if you become a client. We do not sell it, and we do not add you to a marketing sequence because you downloaded a guide.

If you apply to work through us we collect your CV and the information on it: name, contact details, employment history, education, certifications, skills, the results of any skills test, and reference checks we carry out with your knowledge. We also record your salary expectation, availability and the hours you are willing to work.

We use it to match you to roles and to introduce you to prospective employers. Two things about how your profile appears on this site:

• Until an employer has been verified by a member of our team, your profile shows a last initial only. Your first name, photograph and full CV are not sent to their browser at all.
• Employers on your CV are described rather than named, for example “UK e-commerce group, 40 staff”. This is deliberate, so that a current employer cannot be identified from a profile.

We do not sell personal information to anyone, ever. It is shared only in these circumstances:

• Candidate details with a prospective employer, once that employer has been verified and once you are being put forward for that specific role.
• Our email provider. Forms on this site are delivered to us by email through Resend. There is no customer database behind this website: an enquiry becomes an email in our inbox.
• Our hosting provider. The site runs on Vercel, which processes the technical information needed to serve a web page, including IP addresses in its server logs.
• Google, through the advertising tag described below, which receives information about your visit so that we can measure our own advertising. It does not receive anything you type into a form.
• Where the law requires it, or to establish or defend a legal claim.

We are an Australian company placing staff who live in the Philippines, so personal information crosses borders as a normal part of what we do. Candidate information is handled by our team in the Philippines. Client information is disclosed to a candidate or our staff there where it is needed to do the work. Our email and hosting providers may store data on servers outside Australia.

We take reasonable steps to ensure anyone handling this information is bound to protect it, but you should be aware that overseas recipients may not be subject to Australian privacy law.

This site sets a small number of cookies. There is no consent banner because we would rather tell you plainly what they are.

• Keeping you signed in to the directory. One cookie, mtc_access, set only when a verified employer follows their access link. It is what keeps candidate profiles open as you move between pages, it expires after 90 days, and the “lock” link in the header clears it immediately.
• Google Ads measurement. We advertise on Google. The Google Ads tag on this site lets Google tell us which advert brought somebody here and whether they went on to ask for candidate profiles, and it can be used to show our ads again to people who have visited. It sets its own cookies in your browser and sends Google information about your visit, including your IP address and the pages you viewed.

We do not use it to build a profile of what you read here for any purpose other than measuring our own advertising, and we do not sell anything it collects. How Google uses data from sites that use its services is described at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can turn personalised advertising off at myadcenter.google.com, and your browser can block or clear these cookies without breaking anything on this site except the access cookie above.

Some things are remembered by your own browser and never reach us or Google: the candidates you have shortlisted, which boxes you have ticked on a guide checklist, and whether you have already unlocked the guide library. Clearing your browser data removes them.

• Enquiries that do not become clients: up to two years, then deleted.
• Client records: for the length of the engagement and seven years afterwards, which is what Australian tax and business record-keeping requires.
• Candidate applications: up to two years from your last contact with us, so that we can approach you about a role that suits you later. Ask us and we will remove you sooner.

Candidate CVs, names and photographs are held server-side and released only to a verified account, which is why there is a gate on the directory at all rather than a login you can create yourself. Access to our inbox and systems is limited to the people who need it.

No system is perfectly secure. If a data breach occurs that is likely to cause you serious harm, we will notify you and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner as required by the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.

You can ask us, at any time, to:

• Tell you what personal information we hold about you
• Correct anything that is wrong or out of date
• Delete your information, including removing your profile from our books
• Stop contacting you

Email stephen@menaitalentconsultants.com and we will respond within 30 days. We will not charge you for it and we will not ask why.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, tell us first and we will try to fix it. If you are still unhappy you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au. If you are in the United Kingdom or the European Union you may also have rights under the UK GDPR or GDPR, including data portability and the right to object to processing, and you can complain to your local supervisory authority.

If we change how we handle personal information we will update this page and the date at the top of it. If the change is significant we will tell affected clients and candidates directly rather than relying on you noticing.
