#candidate data privacy

Convenience is the hallmark of cloud recruiting software, but this article poses a tougher question: what becomes of all that candidate data, and who can get to it? It covers the vendor lock-in problem few companies think about until they want to leave, what happens when an outage hits during a critical hiring window, and why “cloud-based” doesn’t automatically mean secure or portable. Small businesses are not immune, frequently escaping closer examination because their data volumes appear less significant. The bottom line? Ask vendors the tough questions up front, before signing anything, not after something goes wrong.
