Questions

How safe is Textkernel for staffing & flexible work?
Textkernel has a good GDPR profile. Usable in staffing & flexible work, provided you use the business variant and follow the points of attention below. Good safeguards, but not on every point.
Does Textkernel train on my data?
ISO 27001; SOC II; GDPR; EU AI Act compliant; Dutch origin; data processing in line with European standards
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.
