Our website and telephone payment systems are unavailable between 9am and 2pm on Sunday 19 May. You will not be able to pay for any council services on our website or over the phone during this time.
This privacy notice is designed to help you understand how and why the recruitment hub processes your personal data. This notice should be read in conjunction with our corporate privacy notice.
North Yorkshire Council is a ‘data controller’ as defined by article 4(7) of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). Resourcing solutions are responsible for the administration of the recruitment process.
The council has appointed Veritau to be its data protection officer. Their contact details are:
Information Governance Office

West Offices
Station Rise

Tel: 01904 552848
Unlike with the council’s usual application process, where you apply for a specific vacancy, an application via the recruitment hub allows resourcing solutions to put your details forward to our clients and prospective employers for you to be considered for vacancies, and to keep you informed of any available opportunities. As part of your job application, resourcing solutions will need to assess your suitability for the vacancy. This means that we need to collect information about you in order to facilitate this.
We routinely share your recruitment information with potential employers (these may be clients outside of the council), third party assessment providers (in order to facilitate your suitability for a role), and any other relevant HR team within the council.
Sometimes your application may need to be submitted to an assessment panel. These panels could include individuals from other organisations. We will tell you if this is the case.

We are required to process your personal data for the performance of your employment contract or to take the necessary steps to enter into an employment contract.
We are also legally required to process your personal data, and sometimes your special category data, as defined by employment law or because the council has a legal duty to do so (for example, for equality and diversity monitoring).
For more information about how we use your data, including your privacy rights and the complaints process, please see our corporate privacy notice.
