We are working to get to grips with the compliance around retention of our candidates for the correct timescales (we’ve gone with 365 days) and as ever this is a balance of keeping hold of talent.

Has anyone cracked this in terms of hitting the countdown clock, asking to keep in touch, retaining for longer with consent blah blah???

We are trying to update our applicant privacy policy, the process in Personio and our internal operating process around this and it is HARD. 

Is anyone out there getting this right without hours of data management?….. and are you willing to share your higher knowledge 🙏🏻

I am more than happy to share documentation that i have with anyone 

Interestingly enough, I think ​@jwilliams79 would have a thing or two to say about this!

Hi ​@fmason

We’ve not cracked this yet ourselves, but we go through candidates monthly to remove any over our limit. I sort them by oldest application date and go from there.

I would love to see changes in the future that allow you to decline a candidate and schedule them to be automatically anonymised within a custom timeline (👀 developers - hint, hint).

For now, as far as I’m aware, it is a very manual process 😔
