Plain-language privacy notice, standard German GDPR DPA available on request, self-serve export + delete.

GDPR isn't a checkbox - it's a posture. If you're moving off Recruitee 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.
Recruitee is right when employer branding + branded careers page + brand consistency in recruiting are your priorities. KI BMS is right when KI pre-sort + GDPR defaults + monthly contracts are. Both are mid-tier, both European, both good. The question is emphasis: 'how do candidates see us' (Recruitee) or 'how fast do we decide' (KI BMS).
GDPR posture
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 Recruitee sits on each of these is the rest of this page.
