GDPR and Foodjob Nordic
As many of you already know, the General Data Processing Regulation (GDPR) has come into effect as of today. The GDPR concerns the treatment and use of personal data belonging to EU citizens.
Some of the new and improved features of data protection are that consent must now be clear and distinguishable from other matters and provided in an understandable and easily accessible form and language. And not least, it must be as easy to withdraw consent as it is to give it.
Another important part of the new GDPR legislation is the New Data Subject rights, where breach notifications, right to access, right to be forgotten and data portability are updated and increased – all done, so each person’s data is more protected.
GDPR and Foodjob Nordic
As a recruitment company who handle and exchange personal data we are subject to data protection laws. We have always had a strong emphasis on the protection of personal data on both clients and candidates. Therefore, it has always been a key aspect of our business to be transparent and open-minded in our recruitment process, for both companies and for candidates.
At Foodjob Nordic, GDPR is an opportunity to further strengthen the relationship and trust with our candidates and clients.
To illustrate this we have made a flow chart for both companies and candidates of our recruitment process from initial meeting or sending a CV, to signing a contract and even a follow-up months after the recruitment process is carried out.
We have also updated our website with all the necessary information on how we protect, save and process data about clients and candidates. We hope you will take the time to read it and ask us questions if you’re in doubt of anything. The important part for us is that you feel save when applying or working with us.
