Resumes come from 10 different places. Do you know where they all go?
A small recruitment firm in Delhi gets CVs on WhatsApp, email, Naukri, and referrals — all in one day. Each place is a new door where people's information enters. Most owners do not count these doors. They do not know how many they have. Under the new data law, every door matters. If you run a recruitment firm, this applies to you right now.
Think about your last week. A candidate sent their resume on WhatsApp. Someone filled a form on your website. A client emailed a job requirement with salary details. A referral called and shared a friend's phone number. An interview form collected Aadhaar details. That is five different doors — in one week. Each door brings in people's private information. The new law says you must know every door. You must protect what comes through each one. Most firms do not even have a list.
Write down every place where candidate information enters your business.
