Talent specialists often operate in silence until a privacy audit reveals gaps in candidate data handling
The situation this course is for
Even strong recruiters face scrutiny when data minimization, consent tracking, or cross-border candidate data flows aren’t documented. In high-compliance sectors, these oversights delay placements, increase vendor risk, and expose the firm to reputational drift. The fix isn’t tighter screening, it’s structured privacy integration from day one.
Who this is for
Senior Talent Specialist at a staffing or consulting firm handling regulated industry placements, who wants to be seen as a strategic partner, not just a requisition-filler
Who this is not for
Junior recruiters focused only on sourcing, or teams using off-the-shelf ATS configurations without governance oversight
What you walk away with
- Design candidate intake workflows that comply with ISO 27701 data minimization requirements
- Map candidate data flows across ATS, CRM, and vendor tools with documented accountability
- Lead internal discussions on privacy-safe talent strategies with compliance and legal teams
- Produce documented candidate consent frameworks that survive external audits
- Position yourself as the internal reference for privacy-aware hiring decisions
