Backup for Carerix
Carerix does not automatically create a backup of your candidate data and vacancy records. Here is what is genuinely at stake — and how to protect it in under an hour.
((GDPR — candidate data deleted after 4 weeks / retained 5 years (WAADI)))
What is actually stored in Carerix?
Carerix is the daily operational backbone for many staffing agencies and recruitment firms. What most users don't realise: all that data is not automatically protected against loss.
Typical data that lives in Carerix and can be lost:
- candidate profiles — CV data, skills, availability and communication history per candidate
- vacancy records — vacancy specifications, requirements and application pipelines
- placement contracts — temporary and permanent placement contracts and agreements
- client contact data — client contact information, preferences and account history
All of this data falls under GDPR — candidate data deleted after 4 weeks / retained 5 years (WAADI), which means you must be able to reproduce it for 4 weeks / 5 years.
Does Carerix automatically create a backup?
Carerix is cloud-based, so your data is safe — right? This is the most common misconception among staffing agencies and recruitment firms.
Carerix guarantees that the platform runs, not that your data can be recovered after ransomware or errors.
Ransomware
Encrypts everything — including data synchronised via Carerix. Without an offline backup you have no clean recovery point.
Human error
A deleted record, an overwritten import or a mistaken bulk action — Carerix offers limited or no undo functionality after more than 30 days.
Accidental deletion of the active candidate pipeline
A bulk operation or automation error can delete hundreds of active candidate records at once. Without a backup the entire pipeline for open vacancies is lost.
How Mindtime protects Carerix data
Mindtime connects directly to Carerix via the Carerix REST API and creates continuous incremental backups.
