Job applications: the do's and don'ts

During job applications, employers collect a lot of personal data from applicants. They do this through application letters and CVs, but also in other ways.

For example, people may take notes during a job interview. Screening, an assessment, psychological examination or medical examination (pre-employment medical examination) may also be part of the application procedure.

Sick employees

Various parties can play a role in the guidance and rehabilitation of sick employees. These parties process data about sick employees. There are strict rules for recording and sharing information about sick employees.

Screening
