Recruitment and staffing: records from closed and closing companies
If you control the assets of a company in the recruitment and staffing sector that is in administration, liquidation or bankruptcy, its operational records may be licensable. Here is what usually exists, what needs care and how to check fit.
Key niche
Strong process records, provided candidate personal data is kept out.
What usually exists
- Job specifications and client briefs
- Placement workflows and process documents
- Client account notes
- Compliance procedures
What needs care
- Candidate CVs and personal data must be excluded or de-identified
- Client agreements may limit disclosure
Employee and HR records always need the most care, whatever the industry.
Systems to look for
- Bullhorn, Vincere or similar ATS (process data only)
- CRM notes
- Compliance procedures
- Client SLAs
- Teams or Slack
Export while admin access still works.
SMEs (30 to 249 staff)
- Act within weeks. Software subscriptions lapse after closure and exports disappear with them.
- One person usually knew every system. Get their help with exports before they move on.
Enterprises (250+ staff)
- Start with a data map: systems, owners, years, volumes and where personal data sits.
- Carve out privileged, regulated and client-confidential material before any sample is prepared.
