> For example, unsuccessful candidates applying for a job at a company could forward their rejection email to a bot. The bot parses the details and fires a GDPR access request in to the HR department. The candidate gets back a formatted dump by email of all sorts of recruitment data, including interview notes, etc. There are obvious ways to monetise a service like this, hence incentive for someone to do it. Recruitment at a large company means engaging with thousands of people and then rejecting them. It is natural for people to have bruised feelings, and also to be curious about why they were not hired. A GDPR button lets them indulge their curiousity and start digging in to interview notes etc.
Huh. So, you’re saying a side effect of GDPR is a radical increase in recruitment/hiring transparency. As if that was a bad thing (clearly, it would be a shift in the capital/labor power assymetry in favor of labor, but I'm not seeing how that's bad.)
