Under CCPA, California residents have the right to know how their information will be used as part of your recruiting process and to give their consent to use it.
With Breezy, you can inform candidates and request consent automatically or manually.
How to request candidate consent automatically
In company-level CCPA compliance settings, you have the option to automatically request consent regardless of how a candidate was added to Breezy:
Applying Candidates: Individuals who applied through your careers site and third-party job boards
Referred Candidates: Individuals who were submitted as employee referrals
Sourced Candidates: Individuals who were manually added by your hiring team
Recruited Candidates: Individuals who were submitted by external recruiters
Breezy will add required consent fields to the application form used on your career portal or integrated job boards to capture candidate consent.
For sourced or referred candidates (who aren’t added by an application form), Breezy will send an email to the candidate describing your use of their information. You can customize this message in your company-level CCPA settings.
How to request candidate consent manually
Prefer to request consent manually?
Hiring Managers can request consent from a candidate’s profile.
1. Open the candidate’s profile or click the checkbox next to their name on a candidate list.
2. Click the More icon (three dots) or dropdown in the upper-right corner of the window.
3. Click CCPA Request Consent.
4. Customize the message that will be sent, if you like.
5. Click Send Request.
An email will be sent to the candidate and the Details section of their profile will be updated with “Consent Pending” in CCPA Status. When they accept or reject your request, their consent status will be updated.
The candidate experience
When you request consent from a candidate, Breezy will send an email with a link to the CCPA consent form on your Breezy career portal.
The consent screen will display the Recruitment Privacy Notice, which you can customize in your CCPA settings.
How to review candidate consent status
Once you’ve enabled CCPA functionality and requested consent from candidates, you’ll see their CCPA status in the Details section of their candidate profile.
You can also filter by CCPA criteria on candidate lists, to quickly view candidates based on their consent status.
To filter candidates by CCPA status:
Click Candidates in the left sidebar, or open the Candidates list for a specific position.
Click the filter icon (funnel) in the top-left corner of the window to expand filtering options.
Click the checkbox under CCPA Filters and select an option from the Consent Status dropdown.
Click Apply Filter.
You can choose from the following consent status types:
All: All candidates
Consented: Candidates who have provided consent
Consent Pending: Candidates whose consent has been requested but not completed
Consent Declined: Candidates who have declined consent
❗ Important Note
Breezy has built-in CCPA features to help you stay compliant, but remember to do your own research and seek legal advice to be sure you’re complying in the best interests of your organization.
