GDPR isn't a checkbox - it's a posture. If you're moving off zvoove Recruit because their AVV / DPA is opaque, KI BMS is what a clean alternative looks like: subprocessor list of two (Stripe + mail relay), self-serve export + delete from account settings, and a standard German GDPR DPA on request when your procurement team needs one.

At a glance

Here almost everything hangs on a single question: are you a staffing agency placing people at client companies - or are you hiring for your own company? If you're a staffing agency or temp-work firm, zvoove wins clearly and KI BMS is simply the wrong tool. zvoove Recruit is part of the zvoove One platform with dispatching, German-staffing-law compliance, equal pay, maximum-assignment-duration rules, order management and payroll - exactly the world a staffing agency needs and a classic in-house ATS never models. KI BMS is right when you hire for your own company and want a lean, modern applicant management with KI pre-sort, without the whole temp-work apparatus. Land in the wrong column and you buy past your problem.

GDPR posture

GDPR is a posture, not a checkbox

Three things matter under GDPR for a tool like this: (1) lawful basis for processing, (2) data subject rights (export, delete, port), and (3) the auftragsverarbeitungs­vertrag / DPA chain. KI BMS treats them as engineering invariants, not legal optics. Lawful basis is the contract you sign with us. Subject rights are self-serve from your account settings - no support ticket required. The subprocessor list has two entries (Stripe + mail relay). A standard German GDPR DPA is available on request from /sales whenever your procurement team needs one - we don't charge for it and don't gate it behind a plan tier. Where zvoove Recruit sits on each of these is the rest of this page.
