HIRING INTAKE · Workflow idea

Get application materials to the right reviewers without compromising candidate privacy or fairness.

For a hiring team with a defined role and applicant notice, organize submitted contact details, relevant application responses, and optional resumes for authorized reviewers. Collect only information needed for the role, explain how application data will be used and shared, and keep files in an access-controlled location. A person must assess candidates using job-related criteria; do not use age or other protected characteristics to rank, reject, or make employment decisions.

Keep in mind

Applications and resumes contain sensitive personal information. Tell applicants who will see their details and why, use a restricted review space, avoid collecting unnecessary data, and never let an automated summary or category make a hiring decision.
