Secure candidate data without the hassle: how your records are protected automatically

As a recruiter you work with sensitive data every day: CVs with addresses, phone numbers and work history. Candidates trust you with that information, and you want their privacy guaranteed without it making your job any harder.

Here is exactly what changes behind the scenes, what you notice (spoiler: almost nothing!) and why this makes your work a good deal easier.

#What’s been taken care of?

• Automatic protection: every CV and every record is locked down the moment it arrives. Nobody gets to it without the right key.
• Everything is recorded: each time someone opens a CV, the system notes it properly — who, what and when.
• Truly 100% erased: does a candidate ask to be removed? One click wipes every trace, everywhere, including notes and old scores.
• Search stays fast: you can still look someone up by email address or phone number just as easily.

#What do you notice day to day?

Honestly: nothing at all.

There are no switches to turn on, no keys to look after and no extra steps to take. The protection works in the background. Your workflows and your habits stay exactly the same.

#Why this gives you peace of mind (and saves you time)

• Safe if something goes missing: does a work laptop disappear? No panic. The data is unreadable to outsiders, so there is no data breach.
• A quick answer to questionnaires: does a client’s IT or privacy team ask how you handle data? You can confirm straight away that everything is encrypted and properly logged.
• GDPR requests in no time: does a candidate ask to be forgotten? You handle it in a minute and have the proof that everything really is gone.
• Existing candidates too: this doesn’t only apply to new applicants; the candidates already in your system are protected the same way from now on.

#Where do you find this in the system?

Because it all runs in the background, you’ll rarely need to go looking. Want a closer look anyway?

• Audit log: you’ll find this in the menu.
• Settings: in the menu, go to Settings → Privacy
• Erasing a candidate: go to the candidate’s page, under the heading Privacy
