Ask HN: Using GDPR to request post-interview feedback Most of the employers do not offer feedback after a candidate is rejected, mainly due to "legal concerns". However, most of them are using recruiting tools to manage the process, including notes on interviews, thus, issuing a GDPR-backed data portability request should get you those notes.
Did anybody try this? Did it get you the results you were looking for? |
"‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;"
I guess interview notes would fall into this category as well. it's related to a identifiable `data subject` and related to his traits. e.g. "John Smith is bad at math and he hates pencils"
It's quite a unclear topic imho, that's why I'm curious if it was tried and wether it worked or not.
