About this engagement

Comeet was a collaborative recruiting platform and applicant tracking system. I worked with the company for two years and wrote most of its product documentation, mainly for recruiters, HR teams, and hiring managers.

A different reader

This guide served the customer's IT and compliance teams. Candidate pseudonymization and the GDPR right to erasure are compliance obligations, and those teams are responsible for implementing them.

The guide

The content is procedural and factual: how erasure works in practice, what remains when a record cannot be deleted, and when a company may lawfully keep candidate data.

Why I separated it

I file this piece separately because it is part of the customer's compliance work. By then, I had spent much of the previous decade writing for regulated buyers at Coro, Snyk, and Cisco. Buyers often start an evaluation to meet a compliance obligation, and they may delay the purchase until the requirement is clear. That makes the implementation detail relevant during evaluation.
