Abstract
Each organization is faced with the problem of recruiting staff to meet the needs of the tasks carried out in the organization. This process is becoming more and more complicated every year, among others, due to the greater mobility of employees, and thus the increase in the number of applications for open positions in recruitment processes. One of the key stages of the recruitment process is to obtain relevant information concerning job applicants. The purpose of this article is to present the results of the survey on a group of 76 organizations that conduct online recruitment in Krakow (Poland) in terms of obtaining data on employees by these organizations within the framework of the applicable legal framework in this area. In the case of more than half of the organizations analyzed (52.63%), they collected redundant data on job applicants, thus exceeding the scope of data collection permitted by the provisions of Polish labor law.
