Every resume you saved is someone's private information — are you protecting it?
Think about this. You hired 5 people last year. But 50 people sent you their resumes. Their phone numbers, Aadhaar copies, and addresses are still sitting in your WhatsApp or email. You never deleted them. Under the new data law, keeping that information without a reason is a problem. If you run a staffing firm or hire regularly, this applies to you right now.
Say you run a small staffing agency in Pune. You send resumes to 10 client companies every month. Each resume has the candidate's PAN card, phone number, and past salary. You share these on WhatsApp. Under the new law, you must get the candidate's permission first. You must also tell clients not to misuse the data. Old resumes sitting in your Google Drive or phone must be deleted after some time. Background check records must be stored safely — not in a shared folder anyone can open.
Delete resumes of people you did not hire — do it this week.
Stop sharing candidate Aadhaar or PAN on WhatsApp with clients.
