What Claude does in recruitment

Core tasks in recruitment
Where Claude is strong
  • Reading long documents and codebases
  • Careful, traceable reasoning
  • Leading in software development
  • Reliable, safe output

Claude has a strong published GDPR profile and, with the right business settings, is well usable in recruitment.

Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Strong

Automated selection falls under strict rules (GDPR, discrimination). Use AI as a tool, not as the decision-maker, and be transparent with candidates.

Data is stored in the US by default; EU data residency is possible via AWS Bedrock or Google Vertex AI (EU region). Business tiers and the API do not train on your input; consumer tiers do, unless you opt out.

Rule of thumb Use the business variant with a data processing agreement, and keep a human in the loop for decisions that matter.
