Why this matters for digital sovereignty
Recruitment systems process applicant data and CVs, often including sensitive personal details, so GDPR and the location of processing matter directly. Check whether data is hosted and processed within the EU, who ultimately owns the vendor, and whether candidate data can be fully exported and deleted on termination.
