Quick answer
- 1. Post the job on channels (website, job boards) directly from an ATS (recruiting software).
- 2. Collect applications in one place and filter the CVs, optionally with AI help.
- 3. Schedule interviews and communicate with candidates from the same platform.
- 4. Evaluate and compare candidates on clear criteria, not on scattered impressions.
- 5. On hire, the candidate becomes a personnel file directly and enters onboarding, with no data re-entry.
What the law says
- Candidate data is personal data: collecting and keeping CVs falls under GDPR (Regulation 679/2016).
- Require consent or a clear legal basis to keep rejected CVs, and set a retention period.
- Selection criteria must be non-discriminatory (equal treatment), not based on prohibited criteria.
- On hire, the contract must be submitted to REGES on time, and the personnel file is created under the Labour Code.
Practical examples
- Example: a company posts a job on its website and two job boards in a single click from the ATS.
- Example: AI-assisted filtering surfaces the suitable candidates from a wave of hundreds of CVs.
- Example: interviews are scheduled with a calendar link, and communication with the candidate stays in the history.
- Example: the accepted candidate moves automatically into onboarding and becomes a personnel file, with no data re-entry.
Common mistakes
- Manual recruiting over email and Excel, with no ATS, with lost CVs and uncontacted candidates.
- Keeping CVs indefinitely, with no legal basis and no retention period (a GDPR risk).
- Unclear or discriminatory selection criteria, which expose the company to disputes.
- Recruiting software disconnected from onboarding, which forces data re-entry on hire.
