DPDP Readiness in Talent Acquisition

India’s First Data Privacy & DPDP Readiness Assessment for Talent Acquisition

As recruitment becomes increasingly digital and AI-enabled, organisations are handling more candidate data across applicant tracking systems, recruiter inboxes, spreadsheets, third-party platforms and hiring tools. But are their data governance practices keeping pace?

The Candidate Data Trust Gap 2026 examines what India's evolving Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) framework means for Talent Acquisition teams and how prepared organisations are to manage candidate data responsibly.

This ebook explores key areas such as consent management, data withdrawal and deletion, retention practices, access controls, third-party data sharing, and AI transparency and accountability.

Designed for CHROs, Talent Acquisition leaders, privacy professionals and HR technology teams, it brings together assessment findings, regulatory context and a practical readiness playbook to help organisations identify operational gaps and strengthen candidate data governance.

Go beyond privacy policies. Understand your readiness, identify the gaps and build candidate trust into every stage of the hiring journey.
