For example, you may provide this information directly to one of our consultants.

Providing any Candidate Information is purely voluntary on your part. Although it is generally true that, the more information you share with us, the better we are able to assess you and/or your potential suitability for an interim position although we urge you not to disclose to us any Candidate Information that is likely of little or no relevance for the respective Client Service.
