Case Study: StepStone achieves transparent, GDPR-compliant applicant management with Stackfield

StepStone improves applicant transparency with Stackfield’s GDPR-compliant recruiting process

StepStone, a major job portal, faced challenges in creating a transparent and efficient applicant management process, which was critical for attracting talent. Their recruiting process was plagued by delays, a lack of clarity for applicants, and difficulties maintaining GDPR compliance without relying on expensive, dedicated HR software. They turned to the vendor Stackfield to implement a solution using its all-in-one collaboration and project management platform.

Stackfield provided a solution by enabling StepStone to map its entire recruiting workflow into a centralized, GDPR-compliant platform. Using Stackfield's modules, including a customized Kanban board for the application pipeline and automated email-to-task conversion, the company achieved greater transparency, eliminated email ping-pong, and automated document deletion for compliance. The results included significant time savings, a more streamlined process, and full data protection, allowing StepStone to optimize its recruiting without additional HR tools.
