With the implementation of the GDPR Data Protection Act in May 2018, data privacy has been an increasingly important topic in the recruiting world. In order to comply with these new laws, it's essential that your applicant tracking system is also GDPR compliant. In this article, we will share with you the key privacy points every applicant tracking system should cover.
It is very important to confirm that your ATS provider is compliant with GDPR data privacy laws and any other privacy laws in your country. Having a provider that is committed to data protection should be at the top of your list of requirements. You still need to make sure that your own policies are also complaint, but having all your data saved in a GDPR compliant applicant tracking system will make your recruiting process much easier.
There are a few policies that you should review with your software provider and also within your own recruiting team, to make sure that all data is being handled properly.
The biggest privacy point within the applicant tracking process is the deletion of data. Data needs to be regularly deleted in accordance with the privacy laws. In addition, you should review your privacy policy and any consent forms.
There are several topics to cover when discussing the data of your career site. For example, the privacy policy of the page, the regulations for data storage, the integrations of plug-ins, and pixel tracking.
If you have a talent pool or network through your applicant tracking system, there are a few things you should consider. The confirmation of consent, data retention policies, and an email confirmation process are all points that should be discussed.
If you're concerned about the way you are handling data in your recruiting process, consider using a GDPR compliant applicant tracking system. This will take away some of the stress about how and where your data is stored and deleted. But no matter what, make sure to stay informed about the new laws yourself.
