ESTRATEGIAS DE PROTECCIÓN DE DATOS EN LA BÚSQUEDA DE EMPLEO UN ANÁLISIS DE VULNERACIONES Y PROPUESTAS DE MEJORA

Abstract

This study addresses personal data breaches in the job search environment, highlighting the risks inherent to digital platforms. The aim was to critically analyse these threats, include their causes and aim for effective moderation strategies aimed at both users and the entities responsible for the hiring processes. A qualitative approach based on the observation of representative cases is used, complemented by an assessment of risks that allows the threats to be ranked according to their expectation and impact. The risks identified include phishing, uncontrolled exposure of personal data in public profiles and the creation of fraudulent accounts that facilitate access to personal information. Practices such as the obligation of false certifications to obtain economic benefits and further abuse the privacy of users are also observed. The progress of the study allows for the outlining of strategies, in which the figure of privacy, evidence from employers and authentication stand out. Also, the importance of guiding users and implementing stricter policies on platforms to protect data security is underlined. The results obtained highlight the importance of strengthening determination in digital environments by proposing solutions that balance the need for competent perceptibility with the security of individual information. This study concludes with recommendations that promote greater duty on the part of users and platforms, laying the groundwork for future research that evaluates the impact of the proposed strategies in different contexts.
