The applicant tracking systems read leave candidate records with the recruiting business, give it an export, and keep only de-identified or aggregated data for themselves
Lever's terms say the customer retains all rights in its Customer Data (applicant and employee data) and give it API tools to pull the data at any time during the term. Workable's terms say the customer retains all rights in its Customer Content and give tools to export or retrieve its data up to and on termination. Greenhouse defines Customer Data to include job descriptions, interview notes, scorecards and resumes, takes a licence to use it only to provide its services, and gives an API key to export it at any time during the term at no cost. Teamtailor's data processing terms say customer personal data is used only to provide the service and is returned or deleted after termination. Bullhorn's main agreement is not published; its AI Assistant addendum lets it use customer data in that feature to improve it. No clause read bars the business from licensing its own copy.
