Why PrivaTalent

Specialists in a specialist world.

You don't need another generalist recruiter. You need someone who understands privacy, knows the talent and can tell the difference between a good CV and the right person.

Three disciplines only

We recruit Privacy, GRC and Data Protection professionals. Nothing else — which is exactly why we know the market.

Senior-level network

Access a specialist network of experienced professionals, including people who aren't actively applying anywhere.

Human-first approach

We take time to understand your team, culture, challenges and what success actually looks like before we search.

    We identify relevant specialists, not just people matching keywords.

  3. 3

    Meet the shortlist

    We introduce the people who genuinely fit the brief, not just the first available CVs.

  4. 4

    Make the right hire

    We stay close through the process, from offer to counter-offer to start date.

Employer FAQs

Questions employers ask us.

What's your fee structure?

Every fee is agreed upfront, before any search begins, based on seniority and complexity — never a surprise invoice.

Do you offer any guarantees on a placement?

We agree replacement and rebate terms with you before a search starts, so you know exactly where you stand if a hire doesn't work out.

Can you run confidential or retained searches?

Yes — senior and sensitive appointments, including Head of Privacy and DPO roles, can be run on a confidential or retained basis.

Do you cover contract and interim roles, or only permanent?

All three. That includes urgent interim DPO or privacy cover while a permanent search is underway.

Will you take a brief outside privacy, GRC and data protection?

No. Staying inside those three disciplines is what makes us useful. If a brief falls outside them, we'll tell you rather than take it on.
