Staffing firms share resumes too freely — here's how to stop that today.
You run a staffing firm. Every day, resumes land in your WhatsApp. You forward them to clients quickly. But do you know where each CV went? Do you know if that candidate said yes? Many staffing firms in India share resumes with 5-6 clients without asking the candidate. Under the new DPDPA law, this can get you in serious trouble. Today we fix that.
Say Ramesh sends his resume on WhatsApp. You forward it to three clients. He gets no job. His resume sits in your laptop for two years. This is a problem under DPDPA. You must track who sent the resume. You must record which client got it and why. You must delete it after some time. If you use a vendor for background checks, write that down too. Small steps now save big fines later.
Make a simple list — every CV received, where it came from, who got it.
Tell your team: do not forward any resume without candidate's yes first.
