Although your CV will be stored online, it will only be accessible by Farrer Barnes Ltd employees.
A consultant will study your CV and if deemed that our services would be beneficial in aiding you source a new role your details will be registered onto our in-house database. Further information including your national insurance number, photocopy of passport and any qualification certificates will be required at this point to complete your registration.
