Document background
The Recruitment Privacy Notice is a mandatory document under Dutch privacy law and the GDPR, required for any organization conducting hiring activities in the Netherlands. This document must be provided to job applicants before or at the time their personal data is collected, explaining how their information will be processed during the recruitment process. It covers various aspects of data processing, from initial application through to potential employment, including any automated decision-making, third-party data sharing, and international transfers. The notice must reflect specific Dutch legal requirements while maintaining GDPR compliance, particularly regarding retention periods and special categories of personal data. Organizations should regularly review and update their Recruitment Privacy Notice to ensure continued compliance with evolving privacy regulations and recruitment practices.
