rekryteringsbasen

Rekryteringsbasen is a Nordic term used to describe a centralized collection of candidate information that recruiters and employers use to identify and engage potential hires. The concept can refer to a standalone database, a component of an applicant tracking system (ATS) or customer relationship management (CRM) tool, or a public or private talent pool.

A rekryteringsbasen typically contains candidate profiles with data such as contact details, work history, education, skills, languages, certifications, and availability. Profiles may also include CVs, application notes, recruitment status, and records of communication. Data completeness and accuracy are important for effective matching, and many systems support de-duplication, tagging, and advanced search filters to improve relevance.

The purpose is to streamline recruitment by enabling faster candidate searches, proactive talent sourcing, and better matching of job openings to suitable candidates. It can support both ongoing talent pools for future vacancies and active shortlisting for current postings. Integration with job boards, company websites, and public employment services is common, and some rekryteringsbasen are national or industry-specific.

Data handling is governed by privacy and data protection rules, such as GDPR in the EU/EEA. This includes obtaining consent where required, ensuring purpose limitation, minimizing stored data, providing access and deletion rights, and securing data against unauthorized access. Ethical considerations, such as reducing bias in search algorithms and maintaining data quality, are integral to responsible use.

In practice, rekryteringsbasen describes the broader ecosystem of candidate data management used to improve recruitment efficiency and candidate experience. See also: applicant tracking system, talent pool, CV database, GDPR.
