Candidate privacy notice

Last updated March 10, 2026.

What we collect

Your name, contact details, date of birth and photograph; your résumé and employment history; your identity documents and proof of your right to work; your certificates; our interview notes; the references we take; the results of the background checks you consent to; and, once you are placed, your placement letter, your agreements, the hours you record and our notes of our calls with you and the household.

Background checks

With your written consent, and as federal and state law allow, we obtain criminal background checks, and for some roles driving records, sex offender registry checks or credit reports, from screening companies. We tell you before we do, and if anything we find affects our decision, we tell you what it is and give you the chance to respond.

Why we use it

To decide whether to put you forward for positions, to introduce you to households, to arrange your placement, to support you and the household afterwards, and to keep the records the law requires.

Who sees it

Households to whom we introduce you see your file: your history, our interview notes, a summary of your references and confirmation that our checks are complete. They do not see your identity documents or the detail of your background checks. Our Swiss partner sees what it needs for a Swiss placement. Nobody else sees your file unless the law requires it.

How long we keep it

If we do not place you, for one year from our last contact, unless you ask us to keep it longer. If we place you, for as long as you are on our register and for seven years after your last placement. The card recording each placement is kept permanently.

Your rights

You may ask to see what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, subject to what the law requires us to keep. Write to privacy@larchcombe.com. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you may complain to the data protection authority where you live.
