Hey all,
I’ve just landed a new contract - as part of the recruitment company’s vetting process they are asking for copies of my passport, address and NI number. This is on top of all the company documentation.
I have two issues:
1) is this legally required? I am technically employed by my company, this is who the contract is between the recruiter and the limited company - is there any need for my personal documents? Also I don’t understand at all why they need my NI number...
2) they’ve just requested it over email - they don’t have an encryption process etc and when I’ve asked grandular questions about my data (where is it held, how long etc) they can’t answer.
What would everyone do? Just send it? Query it more? Push back because it’s not needed?
