GRC Careers

The Candidate Data Pledge

Your resume is not training data. Sign the standard the hiring industry should have written years ago.

You uploaded a resume to find a job. You did not volunteer to train an AI.

Across the industry, hiring platforms have quietly rewritten their terms to turn your career history into training data, to score and sort you behind a black box, and to keep your file long after you are gone. That has to change.

We, the undersigned, demand that every hiring platform meet three standards:

  1. Consent before training. No platform uses your resume, profile, or history to train AI models unless you explicitly opt in. Silence is not consent.
  2. Transparency over the black box. If an automated tool scores, ranks, or filters applicants, the platform discloses how, in line with modern automated-employment-decision laws.
  3. The right to be forgotten. One click removes your data from their systems for good. No shadow profiles, no warehoused resumes.

Add your name

GRC Careers already operates this way. We are setting this standard today, and we are asking the rest of the hiring industry to catch up.

As this movement grows, we will formally deliver these demands directly to the executive leadership of major corporate hiring platforms. We will also submit this petition to the regulatory bodies actively writing and enforcing the rules on automated employment tools, including the Federal Trade Commission and state Attorneys General.

Your name, role, and organization appear on the signatories list below if you choose to display them. Your email stays private, used only to confirm your signature and send campaign updates. We never sell your data, never use it to train models, and you can have your signature erased anytime. Privacy Policy
