HR & Recruitment Services
Data protection and compliance expertise for HR functions and the recruitment sector
Human resources and recruitment activities are among the most data-intensive functions in any organisation. From the moment a candidate submits an application through to onboarding, employment and eventual offboarding, personal data — including sensitive information such as health records, equality monitoring data, references and disciplinary records — is collected, shared and retained at every stage. The GDPR places significant obligations on how this data is managed, and getting it wrong can result in regulatory action, reputational damage and loss of trust from both employees and candidates.
Fort Privacy works with HR teams, Recruitment Agencies and in-house talent functions to ensure that people’s data is handled compliantly throughout the entire employee and candidate lifecycle. We bring practical expertise in the specific data protection challenges that arise in recruitment, employee relations, performance management, workplace monitoring and international hiring — helping organisations balance their legitimate business needs with compliance requirements.
