Our Services
Data everywhere!
With data being one of the Recruiter’s most valuable assets and contributing to the £31.5bn UK industry; it’s surprising but all too common how scattered it becomes. Using several different data capture methods as well as your CRM, it can feel like a huge task to monitor data let alone maintain it.
Common culprits and big red flags in relation to GDPR include:
- CRM/ATS/Database
- Emails, including mailboxes and folders
- Files and folders, network & local drives
- Paper files
Do you have any or all of the above floating around your organisation? Are you reviewing these regularly? Is it complete, up-to-date and relevant?
