GDPR and recruitment software: understanding compliance since 2018

Since May 25, 2018, the recruitment landscape has been transformed with the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) within the European Union. This regulation is essential for recruitment software, as it governs how candidates' personal data is managed and secured.
As a key player in the digital recruitment sector, it is crucial to understand how the GDPR influences recruitment processes. This legislation aims to offer greater transparency and better control over personal data, a fundamental aspect for all HR professionals using recruitment software.
For those working in recruitment and talent management, a thorough understanding of the GDPR is essential. Fortunately, the full text of this regulation is available on the CNIL website, allowing professionals to familiarize themselves with its implications and ensure their tools and practices are compliant.

Why is GDPR compliance crucial in recruitment?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has redefined how personal data must be managed and protected. In the recruitment sector, where sensitive information is constantly exchanged, GDPR compliance is not only a legal obligation but also a mark of trust and professionalism. Failure to comply with the GDPR can lead to severe penalties, including substantial fines, and can also jeopardize your company's reputation.
