Assessment
What This Agent Does
Talent pools represent a strategic recruiting asset that most organisations underutilise. Past applicants who were strong but not selected, employee referrals, sourced candidates who were not ready to move, and silver medalists from previous processes - all represent potential hires that are already partially evaluated.
The Talent Pool Management Agent manages these pools systematically. It maintains candidate profiles with their consent status and data retention deadlines (GDPR compliance), segments pools by skills, experience, location, and availability, and surfaces relevant profiles when new positions open. When a match is identified, the agent checks that the candidate’s consent is still valid and their data has not expired before presenting the profile to the recruiter.
The critical governance dimension here is GDPR data retention. Candidate data cannot be stored indefinitely - consent has defined validity periods, and candidates can withdraw consent at any time. The agent enforces these rules automatically, purging expired records and re-requesting consent before expiration where appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long can candidate data be kept in talent pools?
Retention periods are configured per jurisdiction and candidate category, based on your legal assessment. Typical ranges are 6-24 months. The agent tracks every record's retention deadline and either triggers consent renewal or deletes the data when it expires.
Can candidates manage their own pool profile?
Yes. Candidates should have access to view, update, and delete their profile data and manage their consent preferences. The agent supports these self-service interactions per GDPR data subject rights.
