Who we are
Randstad RiseSmart, division of Randstad Professionals nv, situated in Access Building, Keizer Karellaan, 586 bus 8, 1082 Brussels, is responsible for the processing of your personal details (Controller in the sense of the GDPR)
When do we compile your personal details?
We compile your data as soon as you have sent us this. This can be done by e-mail, text message, verbally (by phone, in a Randstad RiseSmart office, during a visit to your company, at an event, training course, etc.), through giving us your business card or in any other possible way. This also happens when you are registered as a contact for our services by your company or organisation.
We can also compile your data if it has been made publically accessible, or if you did this yourself on public/social media (e.g. LinkedIn) and this indicates that you are the right contact for us to interview as part of our service.
Why do we need your personal details?
We compile your personal details for the objectives mentioned below and will not use this data for other purposes without informing you in advance and, if necessary, asking your permission.
We use your data as part of the instruction and realisation of our HR services for you or for your company or organisation, for the introduction and realisation of joint projects or partnerships, for the advocacy of Randstad RiseSmart’s interests, or as part of your service as a supplier or consultant.
More specifically, we use your personal details to, as the case may be,
- be able to provide you with information about the services and other activities of Randstad RiseSmart and to be able to align these better to your needs and wishes or those of your company or organisation;
- enter into a professional relationship with your company or organisation, to enter into and maintain a service agreement and to enable its realisation;
- exchange information with you about invoicing and accounting;
- approach you for commercial offers, newsletters, events, workshops and other Randstad RiseSmart promotions/marketing campaigns that may be of interest to you;
- contact you for taking references and assessing the profile and the suitability of a candidate who has given us permission to approach you for this;
- contact you in your position at a public institution (government, university, professional federation, etc.) to look after the interests of Randstad RiseSmart;
- monitor and measure the quality of our services. To this end we ourselves, or a third party we have commissioned to do so, may ask you to take part in surveys and may use the obtained information and process it to improve the quality of our services.
- guarantee company safety. To this end we may, for instance, check your identity when accessing one of our offices. We can also check the activities in our systems to prevent misuse of the information of our databases and to protect our interests and those of all people included in our databases.
- meet management objectives, including providing management information, carrying out internal checks to prevent fraud and to carry out (internal/external) audits and accounting audits.
- allow you to exert your rights (also see point H) and to indicate later on that we acted upon these rights.
We use and process your personal details, depending on the type of processing, on the basis of:
- our (pre)contractual relationship and all related statutory obligations of Randstad RiseSmart: if we negotiate or enter into an agreement with you or your company or organisation, we need certain information from you or from a person involved in your company or organisation to be able to submit and discuss a suitable offer and to be able to prepare this agreement, draw it up and then carry it out correctly. If you do not want your personal details to be processed as part of this, we cannot enter into service with you.
- the legitimate interest of Randstad RiseSmart or of a third party: if necessary, we use your details to meet justified interests of Randstad RiseSmart or of third parties. This can be done, for instance, to offer and promote all services, and/or provide you with informative messages that are in line with what you can reasonably expect to receive from us in the context of our existing or possible future relationship. This can also be done for access or internal control and audits to guarantee the safety and continuity of our systems and partnerships. This legitimate interest is also present when we need to file your data as part of establishing, implementing or substantiating a possible legal procedure.
Which of your personal details do we process?
We first and foremost process your personal details that are necessary for enabling the correct realisation of our services: your name and surname, your professional address and your professional contact details (telephone or mobile phone number and e-mail address).
Additional data (e.g. job, job title, competence, etc.) is not always necessary but may be useful as part of further developing our business relations or to better align our services and commercial actions to your interests, wishes and needs.
Other data is fully optional and only focuses on maintaining a good personal relationship with you (e.g. your birthday, your hobbies, etc.). If you choose to share these personal details with us then we can process this in our database.
We advise you to pass on any changes in your personal details as soon as possible.
