I understand the retention period is 3 years for personnel/employment records (i.e. application, hires, interviews, outreach records etc.). Does the 3-year retention period apply to applicant data regardless if the person was hired and a current active employee? Meaning, if candidate was hired in 2002 and still an active employee, can I purge their applicant records i.e. original job application, resume because it’s older than 3 years? Or does the 3-year rule only apply to those that were not hired or were hired but no longer employed? Alternatively, are job applications required to be kept if the candidate is employed and hired more than the 3-year retention period?
