Questions

How safe is Perplexity for staffing & flexible work?
The maker of Perplexity publishes little about data protection. Ask about this before you put confidential staffing agency & flexible work data into it. The provider publishes little on this, ask before business use.
Does Perplexity train on my data?
Enterprise plans and the Sonar API are not trained on customer data (SOC 2 Type II; API with zero data retention). For consumer accounts, data use for model improvement can be switched off in the settings.
What should I watch out for with AI in temp staffing & flexible work?
Candidate profiles, job applications and assessments are personal data under the GDPR. Automated matching and selection fall under the AI Act (high risk for decisions about access to work): be transparent and keep a human in the loop. Never send CAO-sensitive payroll or BSN (citizen service number) data to a consumer version of a chatbot. Check whether AI matching models introduce unintended discrimination (age, origin, gender) and record audits.
