What can my employer disclose at interview?

David

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

  • I'd concur with Keith. It's not good practice, certainly. And it depends somewhat on what was said and when.

    But the fact that it was said before the offer was made becomes immaterial to your particular situation because she *was* offered the job and *did* accept it, so whether she was given that information before or after the event is irrelevant to whether that influenced her decision to - in your words - manage you out.

    One in place, of course, information about the performance of her subordinates is entirely relevant and reasonable for her to possess. What she chooses to do with it falls outside the scope of GDPR.
