What Gemini does in recruitment

Core tasks in recruitment
Where Gemini is strong
  • Natively multimodal: text, image, audio, video
  • Very large context window
  • Deep Google Workspace integration
  • Enterprise options via Vertex AI

Gemini has a well-documented GDPR profile and, with the right business settings, is a good fit for 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.

Via Vertex AI, processing can be pinned to EU regions (including the Netherlands). Enterprise data is not used for training; the free consumer app offers fewer guarantees (though stricter policies apply for the EU/EEA).

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