SGZ, a leading recruitment technology provider, best known for its recruitment specialist company JobMate, has teamed up with Briffa, one of the UKís leading information technology & intellectual property legal firms, to offer a unique package of services. The services offered will ensure that recruitment companies can meet the new requirements of the Data Protection Act that come into force on 31st October 2003. This will place a number of new restrictions on how recruitment web sites request and handle a candidateís personal information.
SGZ and Briffa believe that a solution that combines legal expertise and technical fulfillment in a single offering will ensure a comprehensive ìone stop shopî for busy recruitment managers.
David Morgan, Business Development Manager at SGZ comments, ìI heard many of our clients express concern about the implications of the new Data Protection Act. We knew that SGZ could help clients adjust their on-line working processes and web site content, but we lacked the specialist expertise to ensure there was legal compliance.î
He continues, ìBy joining forces with Briffa, one of the most respected law practices in the area of information technology legislation, we can now offer recruitment managers a first rate legal service and a no-hassle implementation service that brings their web site and data into compliance.î
Margaret Briffa, principal at Briffa, is equally enthusiastic about the partnership saying, ìThe Data Protection Act is focused on personal information and that is the currency of the recruitment industry. The need to handle highly personal data properly is vital within this new legislation. Our partnership with SGZ means that implementing our compliance guidelines is part of a single offering and simplifies the whole process.î
