We have had an enquiry about the disclosure to the data subject of the
documentation of a skills matching process. This occurs when a person's
job has been disestablished or substantially changed to the extent that it
could be considered to require different skills and experience.
The person who is in the position of having their job substantially
changed or disestablished will have a skills profile drawn up by a third
party (external consultant). When they are being considered for a job -
either the substantially changed job or a new job - the consultant will
write a skills matching report , recommending whether they are suitable
for the job and on which parts of the skills/experience required, if any,
they should be tested at interview.
Our HR Dept does not think that there is any obligation to give the data
subject access to the skills profile or to the skills matching report. A
staff member is about to make a data subject access request for access to
this information.
Does anyone on the list have any opinions?
