Data Protection Compliance

The United Kingdom Data Protection Act 1998 took effect on 1st March 2000

The Act contains 8 ‘enforceable’ principles of good practice. All data relating to recruitment must be:

fairly and lawfully processed

processed for limited purposes

adequate, relevant and not excessive

accurate

not kept longer than necessary

processed in accordance with the data subject's rights

secure

not transferred to countries without adequate protection

If your current solution does not provide the following, specifically embedded in the technology:

Security of data capture, transmission & storage

Defined and communicated data usage within the recruitment process

Controlled access to information

Data retention and candidate rights

Then it is extremely unlikely that you comply with the Data Protection Act. Please contact us to find out more.
