Data & security

Candidate data, handled plainly.

People trust you with their CVs when they apply. Here is what Hyrefeed does with that data, how long it stays, and who can see it, without the fine print.

Encrypted in transit and at rest

Role-based access per workspace

Every candidate stays reviewable

Retention windows you control

What we collect, and why

From the sourcing channels you connect, we collect what candidates submit when they apply or are referred: name, contact details, CV or profile, application answers, the channel they came through, and any referrer note.

This data is used for one purpose: to screen, rank and manage candidates for the roles in your workspace. It is not sold, not used for advertising, and not shared with other customers.

Screening is limited to job-relevant criteria you define. Attributes such as age, gender, religion, caste, marital status or disability are never used as screening criteria.

Retention

Candidate profiles and screening history are kept while the role is open and for a retention window you set for your workspace after it closes. When the window ends, profiles are deleted or anonymised.

You can delete an individual candidate at any time, for example on request from the candidate. Deletion removes the profile, its screening history and its files.

When a workspace is closed, you can export your data first. Remaining data is then deleted from active systems and cleared from backups on their normal rotation.

Encryption and access control

Data is encrypted in transit using TLS and encrypted at rest in our storage.

Access inside a workspace is role-based. Admins decide who can see which roles, clients and candidates, and hiring managers or clients can be limited to the shortlists they need.

Access by our own staff is restricted to what is needed to provide support, and happens only with a reason tied to your account.

Decision support, not decisions

Screening and ranking are decision-support tools. Hiring decisions remain entirely with your team.

No candidate is automatically eliminated from view. Every candidate stays in the feed and can be reviewed, however they score, and every score can be traced back to the evidence behind it.
