Lawful basis for recruiting outreach
Most B2B recruiting relies on legitimate interest for business contact data. Document why you hold each record, how long you keep it, and how candidates can opt out.
Data minimization in practice
Store only fields needed for the hiring process: name, role, contact, OTW status, and recruiter notes. Delete rejected profiles on a defined schedule.
