PROTECT
We don’t ask for your candidate’s social media logins as part of our online vetting. We believe it’s unethical and intrusive for a third party to have full access to the candidate’s private messaging—not to mention the potential implications on Protected Characteristics.
You can rely on SP Index to be fully compliant with UK legislation and GDPR, as well as guidelines from DfE, ACAS, CIPD and the ICO.
