The fundamental aim of data protection legislation is to safeguard and empowern individuals. In the recruitment sector, you achieve this empowerment by securing employment for job seekers. Consider these perhaps overlooked instances where personal data processing occurs within your organisation: • Gathering CVs and ancillary documentation • Conducting background investigations, including financial and criminal record checks • Establishing candidate databases for future client resource requirements • Recording and retaining CCTV footage for premises security • Managing office access via keycards and biometric data You can ensure your recruitment practices are both efficient and compliant with data protection regulations by implementing these five measures: • Obtaining and recording candidate consent • Maintaining transparency throughout the recruitment process • Revising or instituting a recruitment-specific privacy policy • Utilising a data protection compliant applicant tracking system • Conducting regular data audits Your primary duty is to handle personal information within the recruitment industry in a lawful and ethical manner. This obligation commences the moment you receive any form of candidate data. Whether you utilise or decline the information, it is crucial to keep the candidate informed and involved throughout the process. 🔒Pop us an email if your want to know more (it will be confidential, naturally!): varsha@premiumplacements.co.za/kirsten@premiumplacements.co.za #DataProtection #EthicalRecruitment #CandidatePrivacy #GDPR #HiringCompliance #RecruitmentBestPractices #premiumplacements

This question stumps candidates because of how broad and open ended it is. "Why should we hire you?" is a pivotal question in an interview. It speaks to a candidate's motives, how they perceive their attributes and how they perceive other candidates and the selection process. It can be a dealbreaker if answered incorrectly. Here are some do's and don'ts: Do: 1. Focus on your unique skills and experiences that align with the job requirements. 2. Provide specific examples of past achievements relevant to the role. 3. Demonstrate knowledge about the company and how you can contribute to its goals. 4. Highlight your passion for the industry or the company's mission. 5. Mention any additional skills or perspectives you bring that could benefit the team. 6. Be confident but humble in your delivery. 7. Keep your answer concise and to the point (about 1-2 minutes long). Don't: 1. Give generic answers that could apply to any job or candidate. 2. Focus solely on what you want to gain from the job. 3. Speak negatively about other candidates or your current/previous employers. 4. Sound desperate. 5. Exaggerate your qualifications. 6. Give a memorised, robotic-sounding response. 7. Say you're the "best" candidate unless you can back it up with concrete evidence. 8. Mention personal reasons unrelated to the job e.g., "I need the money." #interviews #premiumplacements #financecandidates #recruitingpartner #talentacquisition #talentpartners #HiringMadeEasy #RecruitmentExperts
