What can my employer disclose at interview?

Hi All,

Been trying to find some information on this but can’t seem to find anything difinitive so thought I’d reach out directly to the HR community.

The business I work for has recently recruited a new senior manager into the business. I have just found out that, during the recruitment/interview process, some information about a dispute I was having with a Reseller/Partner was disclosed to this candidate prior to her being offered a contract.

Is this allowed? Can my employer disclose information about me to a job candidate without having my consent?

Any help on this greatly appreciated

  • It may be a data breach under GDPR but in reality your only likely redress would be going down a CD case which is unlikely to be fruitful if the information was true. You could report them to the information commissioner I guess.

    What detriment do you think you have suffered as a result
