What we collect, why we collect it, and what we will never do without asking you first.

Last updated 29 October 2026

Who we are

Raquel Ne’Cole & Co., LLC (“RN&C,” “we,” “us”) is a consulting and talent advisory firm based in Southeast Michigan / Metro Detroit, working with clients locally and virtually. We are the party responsible for the candidate information described in this notice.

Questions about this notice, or about information we hold about you, go to hello@raquelnecole.com.

The short version

• We collect what you choose to give us in order to match you with roles that actually fit.
• We do not send your name or resume to any employer without your consent for that specific employer. Not a general permission — a specific one, each time.
• We never charge you a placement fee.
• You can ask us at any time to show you what we hold, correct it, stop using it, or delete it.

What we collect

Only what you provide. Depending on how much of the intake you complete, that may include:

Identity and contact

• Name, email address, mobile number, and city, state and postal code
• LinkedIn profile URL and your preferred contact method and times
• Your resume and any other documents you upload

Career goals and search criteria

• Target job titles, current employment status, and motivation for your search
• What you must have in a role, what you will decline, and the workplace experiences you do not want to repeat
• Preferred work arrangement, commute tolerance, geographic preferences, relocation and travel willingness, and earliest availability

Compensation expectations

• Minimum acceptable base salary, ideal base salary, bonus target, and the benefits that matter to you

Search status

• Whether you are represented by other recruiters, where you have already applied or interviewed, and whether you have a pending offer
• Employers or industries you do not want approached

Support needs

• Whether you need any support or accommodations. You are never required to answer this, and you may ask to discuss it privately instead of writing it down.

Why we collect it

We use your information to evaluate fit against searches we are working on, to prepare you for conversations with employers, to avoid duplicate representation, and to stay in contact with you about opportunities. We also use it to improve the advice we give you about your positioning and your search.

We do not sell your information. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not add you to marketing lists because you completed an intake.

Consent before any submission

This is the part that matters most, so we will be plain about it.

Completing the intake is not permission to present you anywhere. Before we share anything that identifies you — your name, your resume, or details that would identify you — with any employer, we will tell you which employer and ask for your consent for that employer.

If we discuss the market generally with a client, we do so without naming you or sharing identifying details.

You can withdraw consent for a specific employer, or for all employers, at any time by emailing us. If a submission has already been made, we will tell you plainly where things stand — we cannot retract information an employer has already received, but we will stop any further activity immediately and notify them that you have withdrawn.

What we share, and with whom

• Employers and hiring clients — only with your employer-specific consent, as described above.
• Service providers — the tools we use to run the practice, including our form and submission platform and our email provider. They process information on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.
• When legally required — if we are compelled by law, a court order, or a valid legal process.

Any accommodation or support needs you share are handled confidentially and are not disclosed to an employer by us. Decisions about whether and when to discuss accommodations with an employer are yours.

How long we keep it

We retain candidate information for as long as it is useful to your search and our ability to match you with roles, and we review our records periodically. If you ask us to delete your information, we will do so promptly, except where we are required to keep a limited record — for example, to document a submission already made to an employer, or where retention is legally required.

How we protect it

Candidate submissions are stored in access-controlled accounts on our form platform, and are accessible only to Raquel Ne’Cole and to anyone specifically authorized to work on an engagement. We limit what we collect in the first place, and we do not ask for government identification numbers, bank or payment account numbers, or date of birth as part of the intake.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we do not claim otherwise. If a breach affects your information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

Your choices

At any time, you may ask us to:

• Show you what information we hold about you
• Correct anything that is inaccurate or out of date
• Delete your information
• Stop contacting you, or change how and when we contact you
• Withdraw consent for a specific employer or for all employer submissions

Email hello@raquelnecole.com and we will confirm what we have done. There is no cost to you for any of this, and asking will not affect how we treat you as a candidate.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under your state or national law. We will honor those rights where they apply to you.

No fee to candidates

RN&C is never paid a placement fee by you. Our search work is paid for by employers. Our resume services are a separate, optional paid engagement — buying them does not improve your standing as a candidate, and declining them does not harm it.

Candidates under 18

The candidate intake is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information through it from anyone under 18. Our youth programs operate separately and under their own terms.

Changes to this notice

If we change this notice we will update the date at the top. If a change materially affects how we handle information we already hold about you, we will tell you directly.
