Privacy notice
How Professional Hire Services handles personal information on this website.
Status of this notice
Professional Hire Services LTD, company number 16270975, registered in England and Wales, has approved this notice for publication.
It describes this website. Candidate applications, general driver registrations and employer enquiries are stored when the form on the site you are using is open. PHS normally keeps unsuccessful application information for six calendar months, or twelve when a candidate chooses the optional talent pool. Employer and customer enquiries are reviewed for deletion twelve calendar months after submission.
Who we are
Professional Hire Services LTD is a UK recruitment company. Our present focus is nationwide HGV driver recruitment. We also introduce security officers when positions are available.
Rights requests and other privacy questions go to workwithus@prohslimited.co.uk. The published telephone number is +44 7874 330180. There is no marketing consent checkbox.
What this website does today
When an application or employer enquiry form is open, the site stores the answers you submit. It does not run analytics and it does not set non-essential cookies. A confirmation email is sent only when email delivery is configured. Published vacancies are separate from any unpublished draft. Preview records are not published vacancies.
If you email, call or message us, we will receive whatever you choose to send. Please do not include more personal detail than you are comfortable sharing.
Information we expect to handle
An application can include the following. The questions depend on the path you choose.
- Your name, email address, mobile number, town or city, postcode or postcode area, and right-to-work answer
- Role-specific experience, such as an HGV licence category for a driving application or SIA licence status for a security application. The form does not ask for a licence number
- Your availability, experience level and any optional summary
- A Driver Coach note where you choose to add one to a driving application
- Your preferred contact method, whether you agree to WhatsApp contact, and preferred work locations
- An optional CV
- The role you selected, when you started from a preview or later vacancy, and the privacy notice version you accepted
Why that information would be used
The intended use is recruitment and job-matching: to consider you for a role, to contact you about it, to introduce you to a hiring company where that is appropriate, and to keep a record of that recruitment. WhatsApp is used only where you have given that contact permission. A Driver Coach conversation, where it happens, is part of understanding driving experience. It does not replace licence, right-to-work or customer checks, and it is not an offer of work.
Those are the purposes for which PHS uses the information. This notice does not claim that a CV has been scanned for malware.
Who we would share it with
A hiring logistics company would receive information only where that is needed to consider you for a role. Cloudflare is the intended host for the application record and for the private file storage. Those providers would process information on our instructions.
An optional CV is stored only in a private Cloudflare bucket. It is not published and it has no public web address. Staff cannot download it until malware scanning is configured and the file is marked clean. The application record is stored in a private database. An acknowledgement email, when delivery is configured, does not attach the CV.
We do not sell candidate information. We do not name our current customer on this website, and this draft does not authorise passing your details to a company you have not been told about.
How long we would keep it
PHS normally keeps unsuccessful application information for six months. At the end of that period the application is flagged for a deletion or anonymisation review. Earlier deletion is allowed where that is appropriate or requested, subject to any justified legal need.
If a candidate optionally asks to be considered for other suitable opportunities, PHS may retain the application for up to twelve months. That choice is separate from the confirmation required to apply for a specific job. A candidate can apply without making it, and can ask PHS to stop considering them for future opportunities.
Candidates may request deletion where the law allows. Successful candidates or workers may become subject to a separate worker or employee retention policy. PHS may retain limited information for longer only when legally required, or when it is reasonably necessary to deal with a claim.
An employer enquiry stores the company and contact details needed to reply, together with the requirement summary. Employer and customer enquiries are reviewed for deletion twelve calendar months after submission. The form does not ask for a CV. Notification emails, when configured, do not include a CV file or a private storage link.
CV files are private recruitment records. They are not given a public web address and they are not shown in an inline browser preview. A download is available only to an authenticated member of staff, and only after malware scanning has marked the file clean. Until then the file stays pending and cannot be downloaded. PHS staff must use a company-managed device with active endpoint protection when downloading candidate CV files.
Your rights
People in the UK have rights under data protection law, including the right to ask for a copy of their information, to correct it, to object to certain uses, and to ask for deletion where the law allows.
You can make a request by emailing workwithus@prohslimited.co.uk. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Cookies
This website does not use analytics cookies or marketing trackers, so there is no cookie banner. Cloudflare Turnstile may set a strictly necessary security cookie on an open form. Cloudflare Access cookies apply only when a staff member opens the protected admin area. The separate cookie page explains that position.
