GDPR EU Representative for Recruitment Companies
Sourcing platforms, ATS vendors, and headhunting tools handle EU candidate data — usually without the candidates ever signing up directly. That makes lawful-basis questions sharp.
Why Recruitment platforms are squarely in GDPR scope
The trigger for GDPR Article 27 is not company size or revenue — it is whether you offer goods or services to people in the EU, or monitor their behaviour. Recruitment platforms typically meet both tests the moment they have a single EU user, customer, or visitor.
Personal data your recruitment platforms typically processes
- Public-profile scraping and enrichment data
- Resumes, cover letters, and reference checks
- Interview recordings and assessment scores
- Diversity and equal-opportunity attributes
The risk of staying uncovered
EU labour and data protection regulators look closely at sourcing-without-consent, AI-driven screening, and cross-border resume flows. Article 27 representation is the baseline buyers will demand.
What a real EU representative does for a recruitment platform
We act as the named point of contact for EU supervisory authorities and data subjects across all 27 member states. When a regulator writes, the letter lands with a registered German company with lawyers on the team, is handled in German where needed, and reaches you promptly. When a data subject sends an Article 15 access request, we forward it to your named contact and log it. Responding remains your job; legal support is available as a separate engagement.
