How our customers use this
Consent for extended use is applied, for example, when adding applicants to the talent pool and is also required if an application is to be reviewed for a different position than the one it was originally submitted for. Often, a questionnaire for sending is created, which is linked to a correspondence template to ensure a legally compliant query.
