You can verify this yourself on the ICO's public register at ico.org.uk. How we handle personal information is set out in our privacy notice.
Regulatory position
We operate as an employment business supplying temporary staff — the workers we supply are engaged and paid by us, on our payroll, not yours, and you are invoiced for the hours they work. Where a client wants to engage a worker directly, a transfer is available once the worker has been on hire for six months, on terms agreed in writing before supply begins.
Recruitment agencies in Northern Ireland are not subject to a licensing regime; the licensing provisions of the Employment (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Northern Ireland) Order 1981 were repealed. We are, however, bound by the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2005, which are enforced by the Employment Agency Inspectorate at the Department for the Economy. Among other things, those regulations require agreed written terms before we begin work, and prohibit charging work-seekers a fee for finding them work. We comply with both.
Vetting and right to work
Every candidate is interviewed by us, referenced, and right-to-work checked before they reach your shortlist. We do not put forward anyone we have not spoken to ourselves.
Equal opportunities
We select on ability to do the job. Our commitments, and the Northern Ireland equality legislation we work under, are set out on our equal opportunities page.
Sectors we cover
Cleaning; manufacturing and production; industrial and warehouse; hospitality; construction and trades; office and administration; care and support; security. Skilled and unskilled. We do not supply rail, aircraft, safety-critical, nuclear, offshore or medical staff.
For tenders and preferred supplier lists
If you need documentation completed for a procurement exercise, send us the forms and your deadline. We can supply insurance certificates, our terms of business, company registration details and a written description of our screening process. Contact info@yasulster.co.uk or call 07493 737626.

Privacy notice
Last updated: August 2026
This notice explains what personal information Yas Ulster Recruitment Agency Limited collects, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and the rights you have over it.
Who we are
Yas Ulster Recruitment Agency Limited is the data controller for the information described in this notice. We are registered in Northern Ireland under company number NI682266, at 143a University Street, Belfast, BT7 1HP.
You can contact us about anything in this notice by emailing info@yasulster.co.uk, calling 07493 737626, or writing to us at the address above.
We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office as a data controller under registration reference ZB726769.
Information we collect
If you are looking for work
- Your name, email address, telephone number and postal area
- Your CV, work history, qualifications and references
- Your right to work in the UK, and the documents evidencing it
- Notes we make when we interview you or speak to you about a role
- Feedback from employers we introduce you to
If you are an employer
- Your name, job title, employer, email address and telephone number
- Details of the vacancies you ask us to fill and the terms we agree
- Records of our correspondence with you
Special category information
Some information is treated as more sensitive under data protection law. In recruitment this can include information about health or disability where an employer needs to make reasonable adjustments, and information about criminal convictions where a role requires it. We only collect this where it is genuinely necessary for a particular role, we tell you why at the time, and we handle it with additional care.

| Receive and store what you send through the contact form |
So your message reaches us and is not lost in transit |
Your consent — you tick the box before the form will send |
Who we share it with
We share your information only where there is a reason to:
- Employers — we send your CV and details to an employer only after telling you who they are and getting your agreement.
- Referees — the people you name as references, so we can take up a reference.
- Our service providers — the companies that provide our email, IT and website systems, including Netlify, which hosts this website and processes contact form submissions on our behalf. They act on our instructions and cannot use your information for their own purposes.
- Where the law requires it — for example to a government body, regulator or court.
We do not sell your information, and we do not pass it to anyone for marketing purposes.
How long we keep it
| Information | How long |
| CVs and work-seeker records where no placement was made | 24 months from our last contact with you, then deleted |
| Records relating to a placement we made | 6 years from the end of the placement, to meet record-keeping requirements |
| Right to work check records | 2 years from the end of employment |
| General enquiries that did not lead anywhere | 12 months |
You can ask us to delete your information sooner than this at any time, and we will unless we are legally required to keep it.
Where your information is held
Our own records — CVs, candidate files and client files — are held on systems within the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area.
Messages sent through the contact form on this website are processed by our website host, Netlify, whose servers are in the United States. That transfer is covered by the standard data protection clauses approved for use under UK law, together with the UK Addendum. Form submissions are forwarded to our own email and deleted from the host once we have dealt with them.
If any of this changes, we will make sure appropriate safeguards remain in place and we will update this notice.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have the right to:
- Ask for a copy of the information we hold about you
- Ask us to correct anything that is wrong or incomplete
- Ask us to delete your information
- Ask us to restrict how we use it, or object to us using it
- Ask us to transfer it to another organisation
- Withdraw your consent at any time, where we rely on consent
To exercise any of these, email info@yasulster.co.uk. We will respond within one month. There is no charge.
Complaints
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, please tell us first so we can put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK's data protection regulator, at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
Changes to this notice
If we change this notice we will update the date at the top of this page.

Cookie policy
Last updated: August 2026
This website does not use cookies.
What this means
Cookies are small files that a website can store on your device to recognise you, remember your settings or track what you do. Many websites use them for analytics or advertising.
We do not. This website sets no cookies of any kind. There is no analytics tracking, no advertising pixel, no social media tracker and no third-party script that follows you around. That is why you have not been shown a cookie banner — there is nothing to consent to.
What the site does load
The site loads its typefaces from Google Fonts. This means your browser makes a request to Google's servers to fetch the fonts, and Google will receive your IP address as part of that request, as it would for any file requested from another website. Google states that it does not use these requests to create profiles of users. No cookie is set by this.
The site itself is hosted by Netlify. Like any web host, Netlify records the requests made to the site — including your IP address — in its server logs, which it keeps for a short period for security and troubleshooting. No cookie is set by this either.
If you contact us
When you use the contact form, what you type is sent to our website host, Netlify, which passes it to us by email and keeps a copy in our account so that nothing gets lost. This does not involve a cookie. What we do with the information after that is covered by our privacy notice.
The form includes a hidden field that real people never see. It exists only to catch automated spam, and it stores nothing about you.
Changes
If we ever add analytics or any other cookie-setting technology to this site, we will ask for your consent first and update this page before doing so.

Terms of website use
Last updated: August 2026
These terms cover your use of this website. By using the site you accept them.
Who runs this site
This website is operated by Yas Ulster Recruitment Agency Limited, registered in Northern Ireland under company number NI682266, with its registered office at 143a University Street, Belfast, BT7 1HP. You can contact us at info@yasulster.co.uk.
These terms are not our terms of business
This page governs your use of the website only. The commercial relationship between us and an employer, or between us and a work-seeker, is governed by our separate written terms of business, which we agree with you before we start any work. Where the two differ, the terms of business take precedence.
Information on this site
We aim to keep the information on this site accurate and up to date, but it is provided for general information only. It does not constitute advice, and it is not an offer capable of acceptance. Descriptions of our services, timescales and fees are indicative; the terms that apply to any particular engagement are the ones we agree with you in writing.
Our intellectual property
The content, design and logos on this site belong to us or are used with permission. You may view, download and print pages for your own use or to consider using our services. You may not republish, sell or systematically copy the content without our permission.
Links to other sites
Where we link to another website, we do so for information. We do not control those sites and we are not responsible for their content or their handling of your information.
Our liability
Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.
Subject to that, we do not accept liability for loss arising from reliance on information on this website, or from the website being unavailable. If you are using the site in the course of a business, we are not liable for loss of profit, loss of business or loss of anticipated savings.
Your use of the site
You agree not to misuse this website, including by attempting to gain unauthorised access to it, introducing malicious code, or using it in any unlawful way.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of Northern Ireland, and the courts of Northern Ireland have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.
Changes
We may update these terms. The date at the top of this page shows when they were last changed.

Accessibility statement
Last updated: August 2026
We want this website to be usable by as many people as possible, including people who use assistive technology.
What we have done
This site has been built to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 at level AA. In practice that means:
- Every combination of text and background colour on the site has been measured against the required contrast ratios
- The site can be operated entirely by keyboard, and there is a visible focus outline showing where you are
- There is a "skip to main content" link at the top of every page
- Every form field has a label that is properly associated with it, and errors are announced rather than shown only in colour
- Headings follow a logical order, and images have text alternatives
- The layout works at 400% zoom and on small screens without loss of content
- Animation is switched off automatically if your device is set to reduce motion
- Nothing on the site relies on colour alone to convey meaning
Known limitations
The contact form sends directly from the website and does not depend on you having an email application set up. It does need JavaScript for the inline error messages; without JavaScript the form still submits and the browser's own validation takes over.
The legal pages on this site — privacy, cookies, terms, accessibility and equal opportunities — are shown using JavaScript. If you have JavaScript turned off, all of them appear one after another on a single long page rather than separately. The content is all still there and still readable.
If any of this gets in your way, phone us on 07493 737626 and we will take your details that way.
If something does not work for you
If you have difficulty using any part of this site, or you need information from it in a different format — large print, plain text, or read to you over the phone — please contact us and we will provide it:
We aim to respond within five working days. We treat this as part of our duty to make reasonable adjustments under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995.
Feedback
If you think we have fallen short, we would rather hear about it than not. Tell us what happened and what you were trying to do, and we will fix it.

Equal opportunities
Last updated: August 2026
Yas Ulster Recruitment Agency Limited is committed to equality of opportunity. We select people on their ability to do the job, and nothing else.
Our commitment
We will not discriminate, directly or indirectly, against any work-seeker or applicant on the grounds of religious belief, political opinion, racial group, age, marital or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, sex, disability, or whether or not they have dependants.
This applies to how we accept candidates onto our books, how we select people for a shortlist, how we advertise roles, and how we deal with employers.
The law we work under
Equality law in Northern Ireland is distinct from the rest of the United Kingdom. We work under:
- The Fair Employment and Treatment (Northern Ireland) Order 1998
- The Sex Discrimination (Northern Ireland) Order 1976
- The Race Relations (Northern Ireland) Order 1997
- The Disability Discrimination Act 1995
- The Employment Equality (Age) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2006
- The Employment Equality (Sexual Orientation) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003
Instructions from employers
If an employer asks us to exclude candidates on any of the grounds above, we will not act on that instruction. It is unlawful for an employer to give such an instruction and unlawful for us to follow it. We will explain this, and if the request stands, we will decline the work.
The only exception is where the law itself permits a genuine occupational requirement for a particular role. Where that applies, it must be justified for that specific job, and we will record the reason.
Reasonable adjustments
If you need an adjustment at any point in the process — applying, being interviewed by us, or attending an interview with an employer — tell us and we will arrange it. You do not have to explain more than you want to.
Fees
We never charge a work-seeker a fee for finding or seeking to find them work. This is both our policy and a requirement of the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2005.
If you think we have got it wrong
Contact us at info@yasulster.co.uk and we will look into it. You can also contact the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland, which gives free confidential advice, at equalityni.org or on 028 90 500 600.
